Just want to share: I have managed to maintain a healthy BMI for six months, down 27 lbs from my starting weight. I'm so happy I started using mfp!

That's wonderful! I'm learning to maintain as well. Hope to do as well as you're doing.

When you switched to maintenance, did you up your calories slowly or all at once? I am two pounds away from maintenance and I am nervous!

I was nervous, too. I upped my calories slowly, over a few weeks.

Congrats! I've always been able to lose weight fairly easily when I put my mind to it, but maintenance has always been a challenge. This is my first time trying to lose with MFP, and I'm nervous but hopeful that it will help me maintain once I meet my goal. Nice to see that others are having success!

I upped my calories all at once, once I hit my goal weight. I fluctuate a couple of pounds from my goal weight in a month due to water weight. I use mfp to estimate calories for the day, and use the recipe builder a lot. I eat a little more some days, and a little less others. Always more than the 1200 I ate to lose.
