edited November 2024 in Goal: Maintaining Weight
I am a month into maintenance and things are interesting. To start off, the first week I gained about 4 pounds. I didn't totally freak out, but it did bother me a bit. After that I weighed once a week staying with my calorie recommendations. Today three of those pounds were gone. Our bodies are amazing machines. When you take care of them they will work their magic.

    Congratulations on your hard work and following your instincts. I am 2 lbs from goal and have been reading up on what to do and what to expect. Your post has been helpful.

    congrats. Maintenance can be tricky. I am about 16months in. Had some ups and downs also. I give myself a window, and buckle down when I reach the top of that window. Keeps me accountable without being super strict. I have fallen into some pretty good habits which helps immensely and lately its pretty unconscious.
    Totally agree and enjoy it

    I agree with setting a max. Even though I'm new to maintenance I have developed good habits over the last two years and have gotten to know what my body needs. If I can stay within a 4 pound window I will be happy.
