Hey y'all. I'm at the point now where I'm ready to change my goal to "maintain" as far as my weight goes. But when I change it on here, it changes my caloric intake to 600 more calories daily. That seems REALLY high and it scares the living *kitten* out of me to eat that many more calories daily. I knew it would increase,…

Is anybody now "use" to their new body and is motivated to lose more weight?
I have lost 25 pounds (over 2 years) and am becoming "use" to this new body. I use to be on the higher end of the healthy BMI range and now I am on the lower end. I use to think I looked very good and athletic. Now I think I could lose quite a bit more weight. Anybody else feel this way?

Will this work?
I am 7-12 pounds away from maintenance. I was thinking once I hit the 9 pound weight loss, I would change my goal to maintenance and flip back and forth to losing 1/2 pound and maintaining until I find that sweet spot for eating. I tend to weigh in daily. What are your thoughts?

What are your measurements to wear size 8 (US) pants (waist, hip, largest part of thigh)?

I'd like to have an idea of what my measuring tape needs to say to see if I am close. I imagine there will be a small range of answers rather…
