Want to see how my new Mainteance For Life Plan is going?

Hey Folks,

I post daily on Sleevin' & Achievin', and right now I am working on a 14 Day Trial of Maintenance for Life (just something I made up to try to see if I could maintain)

I basically eat the same as I did when i was losing.  Except I have brought in a Flour Tortilla & M&M's... then depending what my weight is doing, I bring in healthy snacks like Almonds, Raisins and Peanut Butter...

I am tracking it for 14 Days, do you want me to post it here daily until I am done?

Here is where I am at so far:

Goal- Maintain between 140 - 145 lbs  
Starting Weight for Life Long Maintenance Plan - 144.6 lbs
Today's Weight - 141.6 lbs 
Life Long Maintenance Plan Goals:  Day 4 of 14    
-  M,W,F,Su - Plan 1 - Net - 886 - 1236 Calories - higher number lately 
-  Tu,Th,Sa - Plan 2 - Net 892.50 - 1242.50 Calories - higher number lately
-  My Maintenance Plan is very similar to my Weight Loss Plan, except it now includes a flour tortilla and M&M Peanuts (which I will adjust if I start gaining)
-  Walk 4 miles per day, burn 400 calories -
-  Get in all Water & Vitamins -

Starting Weight - 142.4            Snacks:  PB, Raisins   -  Stayed on Plan
After Day 1 - 142.8 (Gained)      Snacks:  PB, Raisin    -  Stayed on Plan
After Day 2 - 142 ( Lost)          Snacks:  PB            -  Stayed on Plan
After Day 3 - 141.6 (Lost)        Snacks:  PB, PB        -  Stayed on Plan
After Day 4 -

Random Thoughs: 
-  Ok another successful day, it seems I 'need' & 'want' those snacks... had PB again twice, hope I don't regret it when I weigh...  Still need to pick up those Almonds, we don't have any on Caye Caulker, have to order them or go over to Ambergris to pick them up.... sigh... no time...
-  Well I weighed and I lost again!!  I think I can safely have my snacks!!  It seems I am going to lose weather I have them or not, so I am going to allow myself 1-2 snacks a day and see what happens... I can always pull back again.
-  I hope everyone has a Wonderful Wednesday!  Group Hug... 

Coolio sistah!

 Can you list what you are actually eating in S&A? I know it was in an old post somewhere.

I am not sure I understand the question, but I will try...

Over at Sleevin' & Achievin' you can post anything you want, from one simple goal, to all goals and food tracking etc...

However, you may also want to know what I personally am eating on my maintenance plan, so here it is:

Before Breakfast - Herbal Tea
Breakfast - Alternate between:
     1.  2 Fried Eggs and Cream Cheese
     2.  1/3 c rolled oats, 1/4 c of raisins and 3/4 c LF milk
Water
Snack :  lately I have not needed this snack, but it would be almonds, raisins or PB
Water
Lunch:  Cabbage Salad loaded with protein, like fish or meat and cheese, with dressing, and a flour tortilla
Water
On my walk:  Peanut M&M;s
Water
Dinner -  a feed of fish or meat and a SF Pudding cup
Water
Before Bed  Snack - almonds, raisins or PB
Middle of the night snack - almonds, raisins or PB 
Water

AND it seems to be working... I am thrilled so far.

If I have not answered your question please just let me know ok honey. 

Big hugs,

It's so good to see you on this board!  Can't wait to see the outcome of your 14-day trail of maintenace!  Love you girlie!

Hi Sweet Vicki,

Great to see you also!!  I only lasted 7 Days and then got bored...

It is still bascially what I am doing, but I go off and on it... and don't track my calories...

I seem to be maintaining ok, and I will adjust as I go....  I just did not know where to start, so it gave me something to play with until I knew what my body needed to maintain.

Big long friendship hugs!

Gotcha!   You were my first online chat!  Hope all is going well for you!
