114 on the money. That's a great number for sure, after 7 months in maintenance mode. I'm still tweaking a little, but after a long and informative phone conversation with Frisco last week (how lucky am I?) I think I'm beginning to realize that I'm doing everything 'right' so refinements are just that.

What i've learned in maintenance is that it's similar to canoeing in that "no sudden moves" is a good policy. Increases or decreases in calories should be pretty small, then wait, be patient, and see the effect... then adjust. Rinse and repeat...
