Sudden INTENSE Food Cravings
So, I've been on here for about a year, I've hit my goal weight and am extremely happy with my results. I eat healthy and I'm generally not tempted by naughty things often. I'm not even a "snacker." ALL OF A SUDDEN, though, I've started having really really intense food cravings, and usually for really junky foods. Pizza,…

Recomp: Is this right?
Now that I'm in my maintenance range, after losing 148 lbs, I looked into the recomp threads. What I get out of it is recomp means to eat at maintenance calories and lift weights, and this will help you continue to lose fat and build muscle. Is this correct? I'm already doing this and didn't know it was recomp, lol. My…

Depressing Scientific Research about Weight Maitenance after Weight Loss

New to maintenance
Is there any active maintainer groups? Can I ask some of the longer term maintainers for a speech? What works for you? What keeps you going? How often do you weight yourself? How do you deal with the lack of weigh loss goal, with splurges as vacations and holidays? Do you still calorie count? Any tips you would like to…

How do you maintain weight successfully?
To maintain weight successfully, do you give yourself a range of pounds you can gain and then lose? For instance, if you're maintained weight is140 lbs, do you say I'll only get to 143 lbs then lose the three pounds? I hope I'm making sense! Lol

Present weight 188 lb. Goal weight 160 lb. Height 5'10". I've been losing weight at a reasonable rate, in my opinion, since January.
