    I take maintenance breaks often. My only rule is dont gain anything but a bit of water weight. Then when I'm ready I go back to a deficit. I'm not racing anyone to the finish line. I also tend to eat maintenance during my tom just cuz im tired and angsty enough for that.

    Except for people who are obese, losing an avg of one lb per week or so is realistic and healthy weight loss. Fast weight loss due to undereating will leave you with a lot of muscle loss along with possibly some of the above symptoms, making it way harder to keep the weight off.

    Definitely obese here. Still am. I've lost 60 lbs. with 50 more to go and am terrified of backsliding. I'll check out the recommended threads for sure. Thanks!

    Even if you are obese it is not okay to aim for only 1000-1200 a day with that much to lose. You need to eat more or your body will not get the nutrition it needs.
