Metabolic Set Points

So in my head I have been thinking ( dangerous yes )  How long does ones body need to be at a weight to say " Ok this is it" and not slide up.
I keep thinking I had heard two to three years of maintaining a weight.

I understand one can slide up... but the above question I am having trouble googling because I dont think Im putting it in properly.  The right words.

Does anyone know what the heck Im talking about even?

TIA for any help!

Linda Anne I just want to let you know how cute I think your avatar is....you are just a doll!

I will be watching this post because I would like the answer to this question myself. Maintaining is hard!!

Love you much.....hugs......connie d

Linda Anne,

Try googling Set Point Theory. There is a ton of info related to this idea born out of eating disorders research.

I can't wait to have to learn about that, what you are talking about.  :O)   What fun!  I'm so thankful we all get to learn from each other.  Now, can you, will you come to Eagan coffee tomorrow.   It's been way toooooooo   long!   Way. way to loooonggg!
