Topic: RE: Maintenance question

Unfortunately I've found (for me) that the stomach is the last place I lose (boobs sadly deflate just before that).  The extra skin on my abdomen seems to have a bit of a fat collection.  Sigh...

BUT the good news is that all looks good with the proper undergarments and clothes over!

There could be some redistribution during the first couple of years of maintenance but everyone is different about where that redistribution is most noticed.  Keep doing what works for you and perhaps up the exercise once you've hit your goal weight. Good luck!

Topic: Maintenance question

I'm really close to my goal weight (6 more lbs) and Im still wanting to lose inches in my stomach so I'm wondering if I could still lose inches without losing weight while in maintenance?

TIA

Hi Price. Congratulations! What an accomplishment! You're obviously doing everything right. I'm a little over 1 1/2 years and doing well. Can't wait to have a post like yours in a few more years.

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!!  It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

 

Happy Tuesday LW's!!!!!    DD#1 is on her way to Erie and DD#3 is on her way to Dallas, TX.  DH and I are responsible for 5 grandkids to/from day care, preschool, school, sports etc. for the next few days.  Schedule is light today so DH can handle it but tomorrow I'm taking a vacation day to help him out.  We got 4 pages of instructions....LOL.
