Maintenance, thinks it's overdue

Adpalangi

Moving into maintenance, at the point where all my local relatives have or / are are telling me I need to stop, looking frail and face sunken in. I'm not concerned with the frail, as I don't really see it. But my face I do see it, not to sure how to handle that, I mean I can't tell the calories not to go to my stomach but to my face. I'm floating between 111 and 116. I really don't mind the 111 but the 116 doesn't feel good. Maybe 109 - 112 would be good.
Any help on getting started on maintenance? And continuing to stay there?
Thanks again Venus friends!

I'm new to maintenance - so far its working out well. Set yourself to a slightly higher calorie range, and from here on out its trial & error to see what works for you. Congrats on your progress!

Just like StaciMarie said, increase your calorie input slowly - maybe 50 daily calories each week - until you've reached your maintenance level. And then see how that goes for you. It may turn out that what you thought was the right maintenance level was a little high or a little low. Make those small adjustments as needed.

And congratulations (to both of you) for reaching your goal weights!
