    The second thing I wanted to share is that sadly the hard part for me is definitely not over!

    This is my weight chart since I first discovered MFP 10 years ago. If you could see the data points you would see that every time I stop using the app to chart my food and weight, it piles back on again with some extra. I'm good at losing weight. I am NOT good at maintaining it the other end.

    So my lovely Trimstones, I'm looking to you to help prevent the rebound this time. Please keep inspiring me and sharing your great ideas, as well as the hard bits, so we can all keep on the right path together!

    @Emmajhare We gotcha gal!! CONGRATULATIONS on your accomplishment!!! Enjoy the feeling! You earned it!

    Now, begin to think about what you want your maintenance range to be. Once you hit your goal, we'll move you to the "In the Goal Zone" and you continue to report and support, in that range! I'm inspired by your photo...wow think of all your hard work!!! Great job, my friend!

    Oops, just ignore the above..for whatever reason I can't edit it:

    It should read:

    PW 146.8
    CW 146
    LTD 2 lbs
    (SW 148)

    (*I think I had 140 stuck in my brain from a prior poster's amazing success story!)

    Corrected...it's still a great loss!! Good job! Also, if you want to edit a post, you have a one hour period where you can, but you have to go out and come back to the page to do so.

    Sure thing. One of the biggest challenges I faced is that my husband has a very fast metabolism and needs to eat A LOT more calories than me. It doesn't work to just try to stick to smaller portions, either I'm left feeling hungry or he has too much food to eat. So, I've needed to do a few things to get around this:

    1. Focus on the meals we don't eat together. Ensure I'm eating a lower calorie breakfast and lunch (around 300 calories per meal) and that he packs in the calories during those meals (usually by him eating lots of bread, which I avoid unless having as a treat).
    2. Encouraging him to eat dried fruits and nuts as an after work snack. I eat some vegetable crudites or something if I need a snack.
    3. Partial substitution of vegetables or proteins for high carb foods like rice and pasta in my main meal compared to his. So, for example, I will eat 100g of cooked rice and 200g of broccoli and he eats 200g of cooked rice and 100g of broccoli. Or he will have 150g of pasta (uncooked) and I'll have 50-75g and pack out with vegetables or something like quorn mince.

    That way, neither of us are left feeling hungry and I'm not likely to binge on unhealthy stuff.

    I should also say that starting these food habits is absolutely the hardest bit. It's gets so much easier with time because it just becomes a normal way of life.
