Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Tuesday May 7, 2013

This is my first time to visit/post in this group.  I am 15 months out and have been on maintenance the past 7 months.  The first couple of months in maintenance trying to stop losing weight was the hardest part of this whole journey to me.  Trying to add food/calories into my daily routine was quite the challenge!  I have maintained between 131-134 the past couple of months so I think it's working.  I did get as low as 128 after a very busy weekend where I wasn't focused on food but I have yet to go back up past 134.  When I started this weight loss journey I mentally set my goal at 160 since WW had set mine at 155 and I struggled to reach that weight.  I stayed at 155 about a week before putting every bit of the weight back on PLUS about 30 more lbs.  I didn't try to get down past 160, just kept on my same eating routine and the weight kept coming off.  I decided then that I would just see where this journey took me.  I haven't weighed below 140 since elementary school. 

I smile whenever I see someone on here stating what they have set for their "goal weight" - just wait and let your body decide where it wants to take you!

Welcome, Kitsy! I agree with you, but I think we're all different too. I need a number to strive for, I'm a little competitive that way. Once I get there, I think I'm just going to switch into maintenance and see where it goes and let nature takes it's course. I also have a plastics consult later this week so I can see what of this he thinks he can take off, just for my own peace of mind :)

I haven't been able to post this entire morning.

150.6

Have a great day everyone!

158.8 - hanging in there...

104.6 today.  My metabolism seems to have kicked into gear and I have lost 2 pounds in the last few days.  I think it's the added exercise and more fiber and fat in my diet.
