I am up 8 lbs or so and I agree it does make a big difference. But at 5'9 128 seems too thin? May be why your husband prefers you with 6 additional pounds.
Looking up healthy weight
I'm 5'9" each body is different but my body would not look good at that weight. I imagine your husband will find you attractive at any weight but does not want you to hurt yourself trying to get to the lowest weight in your weight category.0 -

Sorry my bad re: dropping the 'kitten', won't happen again!
And 128 is the bottom of the range for me but I carry weight so, so poorly/have no boobs even at my highest weights that I look awful much higher than that. I think (hope?) it's more to do with this being the smallest I've been in the 9 years we've been together and him not being used to it? Idk, but when I photo compared against a photo from 128 earlier I wanted to cry over how basically all eleven pounds went right back to my gut. Feels like there is no winning
Mine is also around my middle. I want to get back to 123 or so. I can definitely feel it so get your concern! We'll get there.

Hugs! How tall are you? Do you find you perform better with your exercise (marathons) if you eat in a keto lifestyle? You have done an awesome job but I will stress that you should try to find a balance with eating the way you want to for the rest of your life. I am a big believer in that you should eliminate foods that either will cause a medical flareup or will lead to a binge. I know I've gained a lot of weight back & now finally trying to get back onto the wagon.
I'm 5'9", I've regained up to 134 and just want to cut back to 128 for a maintenance range of 125-135 (I'm fine with a higher range if running a recomp ever happens). I am noticeably heavier at 134 and it is so depressing. Honestly I like and need keto as someone who cannot moderate carbs, and now I just know for sure I can't go there again. I started out reintroducing with the balanced approach in mind- it went to hell fast.
I do perform surprisingly better endurance wise as a keto runner- I can HM once a week easily keto. Glyco fueled I am PRing on my times but my longer runs are a *kitten*. I am confident I can run Banff in June keto, glyco would make me very nervous because I'd either do really well or I'd flame out badly and be mortified.
As long as you're at a healthy weight for your height & you're eating enough to fuel your workouts you should be fine. Since you seem to usually have a high burn amount I would make sure to try to hit a decent amount of calories everyday. Maybe you could make a smoothie or protein shake & include a decent amount of calories. I know Pinterest has a ton of recipes. I'm going to start making a protein shake for Breakfast since I find it keeps me full to at least lunch or my first break.
I know when I was 150-155 & I'm 5'5" everyone said I was way too thin & I thought they were nuts! After watching the show my 600 Pound Life they may have been correct since I seemed to have a lot of loose skin on my arms, legs, & belly that if taken off would probably have put me around 130-140 (there was a girl on that show that lost around 500-600 pounds & wanted to get skin removal surgery & they said if she did without gaining weight she'd look practically like skin & bones). I could stand the loose skin on my arms, but I despised the loose skin my legs.
That's a good idea, thanks! The one area of keto maintenance I struggle with is increasing calories without increasing carbs because I'm a contradiction in terms and not a huge fat eater like many proponents of the WOE lol.
I watch My 600lb life a lot and I know which one you're talking about (I want to say her name was Ashley? Southern girl with these amazing cheekbones that could cut steel!). I definitely don't have that issue though, I'm sorry you have to deal with that frustration . Not a loose skin thing it's more my stomach looks very "blah" for lack of a better term. Idk if it's because I still have DR issues after 3 babies in 3 years or what but if I carry even a little extra weight I look pregnant if that makes sense? If I had any photos that wouldn't violate TOU because bra I would add it. I know I need to run the recomp, I just hate lifting so much and love to run which is only helping my legs which frankly don't need the help now
Sorry for the whine
I've always despised my legs! Like I said when I was 150 the skin on my legs was so bad that it almost looked wrinkled. I would say that I definitely gain weight there first whenever I gain weight back. My stomach has always been smaller even when I was heavier. At my heaviest I could wear some 18/20 shirts but in pants I was a 22/24-24/26. The one thing I hate the most about my belly area is I have the dreaded B belly that basically the upper part will hang over my lower part of my stomach area. Even when I was 150 I never had the flat stomach, but my b belly was less pronounced at least.1 -

I have to locate one of those. My daughter will love doing this!!0 -
I confess to feeling very judgmental about my coworkers who come to work sick. I'm currently drinking echinacea tea to boost my immune system. (And it says something about the coworkers that I keep this stuff at my desk.) I have also taken my zinc this morning.
I refuse to be sick for my super long weekend.3 -
I confess that the only thing that got me out of bed this morning was repeatedly telling myself, "Only 2 days this week. You only have to make it 2 days this week!"3

Push ladies, you are working for the turkey day weekend!
I confess I typed "low carb Christmas cookies that don't taste like sadness" into Google today. lol6 -

I have to work Thanksgiving & Black Friday but at least I get off somewhat early & will miss the mad rush of shoppers.
Confession I somewhat will miss seeing all the crazy people running around trying to pick up the deals...but only a little bit.1 -
Yesterday I had my Thanksgiving meal at my sister's church & did pretty well calorie wise I think.
I ate a few pieces of ham, a little bit of turkey, & mostly stuffing.
The best stuffing I had last night someone made in a bundt pan (she said the recipe is on Pinterest).
I only had one dessert (didn't really see too much I liked) & it was a slice of a Red Velvet roll.1 -

1 cup peanut butter, 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1 egg. Roll into 1 inch balls, press down with fork in a criss cross pattern, bake at 350F for 9-10 minutes.
I like plain pb cookies so I use vanilla powder, but if you are a Reese's peanut butter cup fan, the chocolate is good too.
ETA: I confess to being an enabler.6 -

These are good!! But I make them with one cup of brown sugar and no protein powder, I should try this version!
I've also created a variation of this recipe that turns out a bit like an unfilled Nutter Butter, and I LOVE that one. So crunchy!1 -
I have a small hidden bag of Hersheys Kisses and I enjoy three of them three times a week with tea. I can't eat any more or I just lose it. I hide it or my husband would devour them in one sitting. They are mine, all mine. LOL.7

My dad has diabetes. I needed to find a lower carb version.1 -
You guys, my husband and I spent ALL DAY yesterday trying to dig out from under 2+ feet of snow. Yes, you read that right. Two. Feet. I've lived in Syracuse for almost 8 years now and I've never seen anything like it. They forecasted 5-8 inches, which is nothing. We shovel, my husband plows with the quad and all is good. We were not in any way prepared for the amount that fell. We finally caved around 7pm and called someone to plow so we could at least attempt to get to work today. My legs are aching and my arms are so sore I almost cried trying to wash my hair this morning. Even typing this is a little painful. LOL0

Wow! That's crazy! In Pennsylvania we've had it fairly easy the past few weeks where we would have frost on the cars & then it would get around 40-70s. The past few days have gotten extremely cold fast & the wind has been unbearable.
Where was the place in NY a few years ago that had around 100 inches of snow?0 -
Parish, which is 30 miles from me. Most of the time I love CNY, but yesterday I was letting the f-bombs fly and plotting my escape to somewhere warm.
ETA: Oh, and it was 70 degrees on Saturday. Figure that one out. LOL0 -

I bought a Milka Oreo bar because of the Oreo thread.
YUM! I love those so much! I can only buy one for special occasions.1
