Grads I need your advise.

My name is Asia.  I am 6.5 months out and 2 lbs away from goal.  I have lost 98 lbs in 6.5 months.  My starting BMI was 40 and now it is  23.6 and I want to go into maintenance mode.  I know for fact that I am going to drop at least another 10 more pounds maybe more before the year is up just because. 

I did the TANIA at my last weigh in and my food calorie intake just to maintain would be 1450 calories.  How the hell am I going to do that?  I am having a hard time just getting in 900 calories.  It seems the more I ate last week the more I lost.  Last week I lost 4 lbs and week before that 4 also.  I need to slow this puppy down.

For exercise I am just doing sit ups, arm weights and squats.  No cardio anymore.  I notice that when I run I am lossing to much. 

Mahalo,

When I went into maintenance, I had a similar situation.  The NUT and I picked a calorie target.  I lost, it went up, I lost, it went up...until there was no more room for food!

I stopped cardio for a while, that helped.

I also started eating full foods like whole milk, full fat yogurt, butter, etc.

Eventually things stabilized and then I had to "give back" around 400 calories to keep my weight stable.  I may have had to reduce calories more, but I started cardio again so the food could stay and my inner food addict would be happy :)

Same as jlmartin said! I got down to goal and asked how to stop. They told me to "eat more" which is all well and good but I didn't want to develop any bad habits back again (no sugar, no white carbs...follow the rules, no water chugging after I've eaten...)

So I just increased my calories until I stayed level..I'm at about 1600-2000 a day at this point.

Thanks for your replys.

Don't worry about slowing the weight loss down.  It will slow down on it's own.
The first six months the weight pours off and after that it slows down itself even if you are doing everything the same.  So don't worry.  Just remember to follow the rules and enjoy the journey.

Asia, glad you asked this question because I am wondering the same thing.

What is "the TANIA"?
