need friends who are also trying to maintain

Feel free to add me! I'm also on the look out for meal inspiration

Hi. I'm within a few days now of reaching my target weight, and would like to swap ideas and experiences relating to maintenance. I'm also a lifelong foodie (now dedicated to eating clean) and I prepare almost everything I eat. I love swapping recipes. Although I'm older than you... and a guy... we might have a few important things in common. Please add me as a friend if interested. Cheers!

Just reached goal weight and working on finding maintenance calories. Feel free to add me. I like extremely simple recipes I can make ahead - the crockpot is my friend! Might have a few recipes for you & would love more ideas!

I still have two pounds to go but have started reading these posts. Getting ready to maintain!

My goal is maintenance, but I'm not logging food. I keep my eye on the scale and how clothes fit. My tip is to stay active and try something new or set a new goal for something you already do (like lifting heavier or running faster.) I work out a lot. If you want to exchange workout ideas, I'm all for it:)

Pro tip: Don't eat consistently under maintenance if you want to maintain. Your binge Fridays may not wipe out the deficit as well as you thought they might.

I hopped on the scale and am down to 132. I have good reason to believe that it will step down again to 131 as I am entering the low water retention portion of my cycle. Still working this out, how many cals I need a day. I am also struggling to eat more than 1600 a day. Most days, I am still eating between 1300-1500. Great, but my maintenance is probably more like 1800-2100, especially since I row five-six days a week now. I have a mental block, plus my diet is so high in protein and fiber, I just don't feel that hungry in general. Maybe I need a trip to the Cheesecake Factory and some Xanax.

I am in maintenance. I do secretly hope to drop a bit more but need the break from aiming for losses.

You can add me

Me too! I think I need more support now than when I first started.

I am 6 pounds from my goal and use a free app called Workout Trainer by Skimble . I don't love exercise and always worry about my form, but with this app (which I use on my Ipad), it makes it easy to understand how to do each exercise correctly. I have three children...so it really helps that I can just do it in my living room alone whenever I want with some music and a yoga mat.

You may add me if you like. I am also seeking a few friends on maintenance, especially with similar goals, but anyone on maintenance. I am 34 years old and 5'4.5" or 5'5". I weigh 112, down from 202. I lead a busy lifestyle with three kids but don't "work out" in the traditional sense. I do walk, hike, snowshoe, ice skate, run around with my kids, etc., when I am well. ...My dietary challenges are unique due to interstitial cystitis, so I don't share a lot of recipes though. I cannot touch anything acidic nor super high in potassium. I can't have soy, wheat, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, heavily fortified foods, food dyes... The list goes on and is ridiculous, so though my diet has become healthier over all (believe it or not), my choices are very limited. (No chocolate, tomatoes, vinegar (which means almost all sauces and dressings), onions, coffee, tea, alcohol, most fruit including bananas and all berries except blueberries, potatoes, some nuts, some seeds, many cheeses, most spices... My husband says it is easier to just list the things I CAN eat.) If anyone follows a Paleo diet, I may be able to swap some recipes and allow for minor adjustments.

Add me too (:

I'm looking to maintain now I've hit my goal weight. Add me

I am at maintenance, and right now I'm not logging food. Rather focusing on my clothes and appreciating my body and workouts. I am trying to get into weights. Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me. Been in maintenance since August and continue to log.
