Gainers after maintenance: How many lbs before you started logging again?
Was it hard to lose again? How far into healthy BMI did you go?
Successful maintainers, tell me about your diet/exercise. Do you still log? Do you log periodically? How far into healthy BMI did you go?
I've been in maintenance for 1 year after losing 25lbs to be 'normal weight' on BMI. I was like, just squeaking under the bar. Recently we moved to Mexico and I wasn't logging calories as we were all over the place. I gained enough weight to be concerned and we got a scale: I've gained 5 lbs. It looks like so much!
We have internet now and I'm being more diligent in keeping track of calories of all these new foods. It's hard because it's all new or else someone else prepared it so I'm guessing.
