    What if you did a one-week challenge of super strict OMAD like @aleroache20? I feel you could easily get down to 122 with that and then maintain from there.

    I could, I just have to put my mind to it ;)

    Man, I cannot WAIT until I am where you are. I would love to have that attitude of "I could" instead of "I NEED!"

    Depending on my weigh in tomorrow I will either have a water fasting day or a really low carb/low calorie day...I know I'm already below my maintenance goal weight but I want to get to 122 or lower (I want a big window to work with) so I can start my new eating plan which will be OMAD/Not Low Carb for 5 days and 2 Splurge days.

    Thanks for sharing your journey with us :) Just wondering how you determined your maintenance weight range and if you started to eat your maintenance calories at some point before you reached your maintenance weight. I am thinking of using my "goal weight" maintenance calories as my allotment for the present time, so I can get used to them. Again thanks and well done :)

    Thanks, I always want to be under 130 so I figure if I get down to 122 I will have 8 pounds to play with. I don't count calories at all, I did that only for a short time after I reached maintenance but found it was too hard.

    Good luck, Brenda! 8 pounds is a really nice range, and I may need that as well considering I gained almost that much in 3 days of splurging!

    Got my water with me sitting next to my husband who is eating fried catfish, cole slaw, green beans and hush puppies. It looks and smells good but I am not even tempted.
