in Goal: Maintaining Weight
My goal was to lose until my BMI was under 25 and keep it below. I got there March 1 of 2018, so two days ago was my 1 year anniversary. That's a big deal as in years past I couldn't stay below goal even with goals that were higher. I am 5'8", so goal was 164 after starting at 223 in 2017. I have actually kept drifting lower during the year. When I did my one year weigh in a couple of days ago, I was 151 or a BMI of 23. Using the 150s as my maintenance range and trying to spend most of my time in the low 150s.

    Thanks. I went off the radar for a bit trying not to obsess abut it so much. It has not been a stress free year, but I am starting to relax a little more. Still tracking, but sometimes I don't bother tracking dinner and after when I am on track through the day and planning not to go crazy. Weighing often and won't putting up with any trending up.

    It is great to hear how relaxed you are getting with logging while keeping an eye on the scale.

    You’ve come a long way since starting and I really admire you, and your achievements.

    Cheers, h.

    Well done you. I am now in my 3rd year on maintaining weight loss. I am starting to wonder if I am a bit obsessive though. Just checked and it's 1455 days I have logged in with MFP. Should I chill out and ditch my Fitbit and MFP for a few months?

    Congrats!

    Being relaxed from being where you planned and worked hard to be is great as you’ve found and me too recently. I finished my self-imposed boot camp and don’t need to kick myself in my behind every workout.

    We do, as you know, need to keep a vigilant guard.

    Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

    That's really great. Thanks for the update I've seen lots of your post here on MFP but nothing in a while. it's nice to hear you're still maintaining and relaxed about it. I hope to be there soon.

    Well done, CT! I followed your progress over the last year as I was losing weight, and your thoughts about maintenance over that time were always interesting and helpful.

    Thanks all. I still have the long streak of MFP log ins, though most days lately it has just been recording.
