Welcome me to Maintenance :) Reached my goal!

Congrats, Kerri! When I hit maintenance it was May last year. I thought, "Oh, I got this." I ate everything I wanted, for six months without logging.

My advice. Don't do what I did. I was back counting calories again and having to lose those gnarly "Last Ten Pounds" all over again. :noway: :laugh:




Steve.......Stop. Ewwwww.

Congratulations! How amazing. You look fantastic!
The best advice I've heard is to raise it slowly to keep the pounds from coming back on, and check your weight regularly. That 1750 is just an estimate, and all of our bodies are a little bit different. It may be that maintenance level for you is just below, so if you jumped up to 1750 right away, you may put a couple of pounds back on. The people at the university study told me that this is where a lot of post-diet weight gain is, in the few extra 50-100 calories everyday, adding up.

I too just want to say Congratulations on reaching your goal. You have been a big help to me since I have started this lifestyle change and I appreciate that so much. Please continue posting about what you learn about being on maintance. I have a ways to go but it is making me a little nervous all ready as I will not want to undo what I have done. Thank you and Good Luck and Best Wishes with your wedding and married life.
