Trying something new!

MyEvolvingJourney

For three years, I've been slowly losing weight. I've lost 65 pounds over that time. Most of the time, I was tracking calories/macros (not always.) This past couple of months, I've managed to maintain my weight without tracking, which is awesome! But I know the holidays are coming up, and this is an area where I've had difficulty in the past. So I decided to get back to tracking macros, but at maintenance. This isn't something I've done before. Tracking has always been about losing. But I'm giving this a shot! I just know that I'm not wanting to let things get crazy and end up putting some weight back on. I know it wouldn't be a lot, but still. The goal is to maintain!

Congrats on your loss and good job thinking through sustainability

I am trying the same. I set my food at what MFP says to maintain, and use my exercise calories (within reason) as my deficit. If I eat the exercise calories for whatever reason, no need to feel guilty, I should just maintain. Hope this will carry me through the next few months.
