It's 2015 and losing weight is not on my New Year's Resolutions list!

But maintaining my weight loss and building more definition is!

I am so happy not to have to focus on losing pounds and can't wait to see what this year brings.

After tonight I am cutting alcohol out of my diet and focusing on building the strong physique I have always wanted but never figured I could achieve.

What is your maintenance resolution?

    Mine are all fitness based goals for 2015:

    3 million steps
    3x week strength train
    Drop 3 points on my body fat

    Three will be my lucky number this year, lol!

    OP, congrats! Must be a great feeling. Maintenance terrifies me; I think losing is the easy part for me. I'm not where I want to be yet but I look forward to getting the maintenance thing right.

    You look great, btw!

    No resolutions here either but my general fitness goal is to reduce body fat and continue getting stronger. Also continuing to work on learning to cook more.

    I am not officially in maintenance yet, but close. I feel similarly! I do plan to lose a few lb this year but I can truly say if I hit 2016 at the exact same weight I am right now, I'd be 99% fine with it.

    Actually losing my last 3 pounds is on my list, lol. I honestly don't have any fitness goal, just improving performance overall I guess (which isn't going to be hard, considering my performance has been horrible the last week for some reason).

    Mine is just to continue @ maintenance. I have kept it up for 13 months now and my long term goal is to be one of the small minority that keeps the weight off for over 5 years. The 20 months losing the weight was easy compared to the 13 months @ maintenance.

    Best of luck to all with your resolutions! Happy 2015!

    I need to get better at planning meals. Especially during the work week.

    My goals are to get to 20% body fat and to tone up. I'm working towards getting in the best shape possible by my 50th birthday (in 2016).

    I'll be finishing a group class this month and think this is the year to move onto strength training. Read a few convincing books on its effectiveness for seniors.

    1. Not to freak out if I go over my calories a particular day.
    2. Incorporate more exercise into my day (cardio Just Dance or Zumba) & start doing some kind of strength training.
    3. Keep eating a decent amount of protein & fiber.

    I want to do a pull up too! I get up on the bar and try as hard as I can and nothing. Great goal.

    Doing a pull up is a great goal. I'm still stuck at push ups though (I can do a couple but not much more).

    I guess I should really do more strength training, and force myself to really do it every other day but gosh I hate it.

    I was hating the strength training too. Weights are heavy! However, I love the results and now mainly work in the free weight section of the gym and only do cardio for 20 minutes, twice a week.

    Yeah I just never really saw any result I guess when I was doing it more (I still do 15 minutes every other day, using dumbbells up to 40 pounds), so I'm not that motivated. I guess it would probably just have been worse if I hadn't done it.

    ETA: I love the way my arms look, but I guess I'll just never be satisfied with my midsection because of the loose skin, so it might be why.

    I am keeping that 144 pounds off for sure. My word for 2015 continues to be commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and that includes a daily login to MFP, meeting my protein and workout goals!!!!!!!

    Loving your post ☺
    I don't make resolutions per se and I'm also maintaining but I will continue to work on my strength and see if I can finally rid myself of my mum tum!
