When to start adding back calories
I am 1 1/2 pounds away from my goal weight. I'm fine at that weight but I'd like to lose a pound or two more to give me a little breathing room. After I'm at goal, should I go ahead and start adding back calories a little at a time, or keep doing what I'm doing until I lose below my goal weight?

Transition to Maintenance Help
I'm 4 lbs from my goal, and for some reason, I'm losing fast right now. Do you just wait until you hit your actual goal to start adding in calories? Should I try to slow it down or just ride out this whoosh? I total about 1200 a day. I'm 5'2", and 63 so that amount is actually enough for me while losing.

How much should calorie allowance go up when switching to maintenance?
I just completed 11 weeks of eating at 1200 calories, and am at my goal weight (lost 14 pounds).

Does this seem right? My daily…
