Total weight loss: 25lb
How long did it take you to lose the weight? 6 months or so
What method did you use to lose the weight? eating consistently in a deficit, increased activity: gym, walking, running etc
How long are you in maintenance? Around 4 months
How do you deal with social situations and vacations? Its a little tough dealing with family/friends judgements. I just try to enjoy myself - sometimes take a day off logging and just be mindful
What is the biggest challenge for you since you are in maintenance and how do you deal with it? Trying to not worry about my weight, I keep feeling like I am gaining weight/look bad when I don't
What does a day of eating look like for you now, compared to when you were losing weight? Did it
change? How did it change? Things are similar, I eat a couple hundred more cals now which equates to an extra snack or less limited meal
What your exercise is like now, compared to during weight loss? Still about the same, but more so now because i want to not just to get extra cals to eat back lol. I am focused more on gaining muscle than the amount of calories I burn
What strategies you use to get back on track after splurge, vacation or holiday - generally I don't weigh myself often maybe monthly. So that I wont freak out about a bad week or two. Things happen I'll admit to taking a break from working out, but just remember your progress and get back to it
Have you dealt with setback or injury preventing you to be active? My best advice is listen to your body, if you are hurt or tired theres nothing wrong with taking a couple days break.
What is your biggest tip you would like to give to someone looking to either lose, or maintain weigh: Think about what motivates you, whether a specific goal or event. Every time you exercise remind yourself why you are doing it. Even when you reach the goal, make new goals and do what makes you happy2 -
Total weight loss
110 pounds
How long did it take you to lose the weight?
1 year 2 months
What method did you use to lose the weight?
MFP- ate what I wanted within my calorie limits and about 6 months in started moving more with a Fitbit goal of 10,000 steps a day most days of the week
How long are you in maintenance?
6 months, 2 days
How do you deal with social situations and vacations?
These are no different than their days. I would say I just eat less calories for breakfast and lunch in preparation for parties etc.
What is the biggest challenge for you since you are in maintenance and how do you deal with it?
Making myself eat the additional calories. I am terrified I will gain so I am still very meticulous. I also don't like to lose the high of getting on the scale each week and seeing a loss. Don't get me wrong I like seeing I maintained but six months in I still ponder each week what will the scale show despite knowing I stayed within the calories. I am actually ten pounds under my goal right now because I am still trying to get it just right.
I just deal with it by still weighing in weekly and taking it Day by day.
What does a day of eating look like for you now, compared to when you were losing weight? Did it change? How did it change?
It looks the same pretty much except for trying to add a snack to maintain.
What your exercise is like now, compared to during weight loss?
The same. I really focused on making sure what I did to lose would be something I could maintain for life. I don't have time nor want to be in the gym five days a week like when I was in my 20's. I read diet was 80%diet and 20% exercise and boy was that freeing for me. All I do is move more with the use of my fitbit. I park farther away take several trips up the grocery aisle etc. I will say that I tried to find a new focus as in goal to achieve since I'm no longer trying to lose- I am dong Couch to 5 K. If you had of told me that last year I would have laughed at you!
What strategies you use to get back on track after splurge, vacation or holiday
Hmmm these days are like all days. I just preplan how I will down my calories.
Have you dealt with setback or injury preventing you to be active? How did you deal with it?
No injuries but during Couch to 5 k I got the flu for a week and was worried I would not be able to pick up where I left off but I just took it slow.
What is your biggest tip you would like to give to someone looking to either lose, or maintain weight
Slow and steady really does win the race. Treat your calories like a bank account and you can't lose- don't overdraw, save when needed and it really will all add up! Also weigh weekly not daily because that messes with your mind! I have a tips post if you want it - just inbox me!4 -
I just reached what I think will be my goal weight yesterday and I've lost 90 pounds. This has been a great thread to read. Thank you to those that responded1

What method did you use to lose the weight? flexible dieting with an emphasis on getting enough protein and fiber.
How long are you in maintenance? 3.5 years / weight has remained within 8lbs and gains are always controlled. Body composition has been the priority
How do you deal with social situations and vacations? I do what I want.
What is the biggest challenge for you since you are in maintenance and how do you deal with it? can't think of one off the top of my head.
What does a day of eating look like for you now, compared to when you were losing weight? Did it
change? How did it change? about the same, just more free calories to play with.
What your exercise is like now, compared to during weight loss? well, I'm better at all of it. I ride faster, I ride longer, I lift more weight with more volume.
What strategies you use to get back on track after splurge, vacation or holiday? I dont worry. I adjust and revert back to what I learned in the beginning.
Have you dealt with setback or injury preventing you to be active? How did you deal with it? bulging disc between L4 and L5 and Super Ventricular Tachycardia. I just have to be careful with my back and take it easy if I tweak it. As for the SVT, I am following my medical teams plan.

Total weight loss
120lbs
How long did it take you to lose the weight?
about 1 year
What method did you use to lose the weight?
Just stuck it out with MFP, ignored the exercise calories mostly, logged, often times weighed my food, walked for exercise mostly
How long are you in maintenance?
about a year
How do you deal with social situations and vacations?
I have a hard time with it. I try to just stay active, and watch what I eat. I'm slowly able to adjust to the idea of splurging a bit on these occasions and making up for it later as needed.
What is the biggest challenge for you since you are in maintenance and how do you deal with it?
I don't want to log forever, so I need to figure out how to survive without logging. The app keeps me accountable, but I need to keep me accountable.
What does a day of eating look like for you now, compared to when you were losing weight? Did it
change? How did it change?
The same foods, just more free calories for snacks or beer or whatever. Im actually cutting a bit of the winter weight right now.
What your exercise is like now, compared to during weight loss?
More intense, I can workout through the sweat and work my muscles hard. I have ran several half marathons, done 1 bulk and cut, and now just focusing on being athletic and healthy.
What strategies you use to get back on track after splurge, vacation or holiday?
I haven't gained any weight during those events. I try to run, walk, and just be active during vacations so it normally isn't a problem.
Have you dealt with setback or injury preventing you to be active? How did you deal with it?
Knock on wood, but that hasn't been an issue yet.
What is your biggest tip you would like to give to someone looking to either lose, or maintain weight?
In the loss phase you need to log every bite, every lick of the peanut butter knife, everything. When you hit maintenance keep logging for awhile. Stay active throughout the day walk, take the stairs, it all helps. Most of your calories are burned throughout the day in your regular movements, rarely is an exercise session going to be your prime calorie burner.

Total weight loss
Initial goal was 45 lbs, but I'm currently 69 lbs down from my highest to get to my running race weight.
How long did it take you to lose the weight?
Initial weight loss took 9 months.
What method did you use to lose the weight?
Tracked my food and exercise, ate a deficit.
How long are you in maintenance?
6-1/2 years. That timeline has included bulks and cuts, plus getting down further to my running race weight, but they've all been planned and controlled weight changes.
How do you deal with social situations and vacations?
I plan for them and enjoy them.
What is the biggest challenge for you since you are in maintenance and how do you deal with it?
After the first year, it felt kind of difficult to keep it up with no goal other than to maintain weight. Having fitness goals changed that and gave me a reason to pay more attention to my macros/micros.
What does a day of eating look like for you now, compared to when you were losing weight? Did it
change? How did it change?
I eat smaller portions, and higher protein items like Greek yogurt. Also, I lost weight paying attention to only calories. Right now maintaining my weight, I tend to eat more vegetables and fruit than I did when I initially lost weight, but that has more to do with paying more attention to nutrition as I got further along and learned more.
What your exercise is like now, compared to during weight loss?
I'm much more active these days since I took up long distance running. But that was because I started looking to fitness goals once I reached my weight goal.
What strategies you use to get back on track after splurge, vacation or holiday
There is no getting back on track really. I just accept and plan to have occasional splurges. It's part of eating in a sustainable way for the long term and life.
Have you dealt with setback or injury preventing you to be active? How did you deal with it?
Yes, I went from 40-55 MPW running to hardly being able to walk 2 months this summer due to an illness and hospitalizations/surgeries resulting from it. I just ate less. It sucked, but since I was bound to the couch, I also wasn't eating out as much so it wasn't as difficult. Plus my hunger tends to go up with my calorie needs so after getting used to the reduced volume of food and fewer treats, hunger wasn't a big issue.
What is your biggest tip you would like to give to someone looking to either lose, or maintain weight
Start off with the basics. Eat at a deficit, buy a cheap food scale, eat reasonable portions, and be honest with yourself. Don't over complicate it. I may take some trial and error to find a new way of eating that you find sustainable. Find an activity you enjoy. Exercise shouldn't be a punishment.1 -

Total weight loss
250 lbs.
How long did it take you to lose the weight?
2 Years
What method did you use to lose the weight?
Maintaining a calorie deficit and exercising, including cardio and heavy weightlifting
How long are you in maintenance?
Over 6 years now
How do you deal with social situations and vacations?
I eat the food available, just in reasonable amounts. On vacation I still exercise, be it using a hotel gym, running,
hiking, swimming, etc.
What is the biggest challenge for you since you are in maintenance and how do you deal with it?
I haven't had any big set backs during maintenance so far. I regularly weight my self and still track my food, so I can deal any changes in weight that happen.
What does a day of eating look like for you now, compared to when you were losing weight? Did it
change? How did it change?
When I was losing the weight, I ate 3 meals a day, but almost never had any snacks or desserts. Now that I'm in maintenance, I eat more frequently, but in smaller quantities.
What your exercise is like now, compared to during weight loss?
I actually exercise more now than I did during the weight loss.
When I was losing the weight, I would do 2 hours in the gym, 5 days a week, half cardio, half weighlifting
Since I lost the weight, I've gotten into running and biking with a few folks at work during lunch, and now my morning gym time is focused mostly on lifting and building muscle. I go the gym 6 days a week, 3 days by myself, and 3 days with my son. I run or bike at work 4 to 5 days a week, plus a day on the weekend.
What strategies you use to get back on track after splurge, vacation or holiday
I just get back into my routine. I don't beat myself up for going over on calories and putting on a few lbs. I know how to take it back off, and just do it.
Have you dealt with setback or injury preventing you to be active? How did you deal with it?
I've had a couple of lifting related injuries, where I had to back off on the weights I was using to rehab the inhury,
but nothing that prevented my from being active in some form or another.
What is your biggest tip you would like to give to someone looking to either lose, or maintain weight
The biggest tip I have is that you need to find your motivation, your reason for wanting to make a life style change. Mine was being healthy to be there for my kids and to set a good example for them.
For maintenance, its no different than losing, you just get to eat a little more. You still need to be aware of what you are eating, and stay active.

HappyGrape wrote: »Bumping old discussion, hoping for some new replies
It was interesting to see my comments from five years ago so thanks for bumping this old thread my friend.
Couple of big lifestyle changes since then - no I don't mean just changing what I eat!!
Retired from an IT desk job later on in 2017 and started a part time job which is far more active doing property maintenance, refurbishment projects, decorating, gardening and also became a granddad so spend far more time crawling around on the floor.
Eating wise I get to eat quite a bit more as both exercise volume and general activity are higher.
Over 6,000 miles cycled last year at age 61 which is the most ever for me.
Tend to skip breakfast more often as I prefer eating the majority of my food in the evenings.
Few injuries over last five years (knee ligament, clavicle displacement, worst disc prolapse of my life (gas & air just gave me a headache and morphine almost completely ineffective), repeated fat pad impingement in my wonky knee, injured a wrist again) but general health including blood test health markers remain overall excellent.
Settled into a yearly pattern of staying in a 7lb weight range, lighter in the Spring to Autumn main cycling season and allow a drift towards the top of my range in Winter. One of my very few hard rules is that hitting my upper weight limit triggers action (eating and drinking less).5 -
Wow, it's rare to see an old thread that actually has solid content: So many that come back from the olden days are . . . iffy, IMO. So, OK, now I guess I've been maintaining long enough to participate.HappyGrape wrote: »Total weight loss
How long did it take you to lose the weight?
I committed to weight loss on April 17, joined MFP to log on July 25, when my rough-counting approach began to level out a bit.
I was shooting for 120 pounds (after a couple of goal adjustments) then, and hit that in March, 2016. I now maintain at around 125 pounds, which I'd hit in January 2016.
I guess that's either 58 pounds in about 9 months, or 63 pounds in about 11 months?What method did you use to lose the weight?How long are you in maintenance?
I've been up and down a bit during that time, but entirely within the normal BMI range, and fitting in the same (US size 6) jeans, so I'm calling it all maintenance.How do you deal with social situations and vacations?
I "calorie bank" - eat a small amount under maintenance most days, maybe 100-200 calories tops - in order to eat more indulgently sometimes. Sometimes that indulgence is social or vacations, sometimes just because I feel like it.
My favorite vacation is rowing camp, and one can eat pretty freely while rowing several hours a day! On city vacations, I eat pretty indulgently because that's part of the fun, don't much worry about it. I know how to lose a few pounds if I need to . . . and I don't usually need to.What is the biggest challenge for you since you are in maintenance and how do you deal with it?What does a day of eating look like for you now, compared to when you were losing weight? Did it
change? How did it change?
I used to eat things just because they were there, kind of mindlessly shoveling food into my mouth. I'm a little more thoughtful about it now, but do make it a priority to eat enjoyably. Life is too short to eat things I dislike. Fortunately, I like lots of things, and love veggies/fruits.
In fact, I think I enjoy food and eating more, now that I'm more selective.
As long as I'm logging (which I expect to do indefinitely, most days anyway), I use that as a tool to be pretty on-target with nutrition, too. I have a protein minimum, a fat minimum, strive to eat at least 5+ and ideally 10+ 80g veggie/fruit servings daily. I think about getting MUFAs/PUFAs and managing sat fats, getting reasonable O-3/O-6 balance, but don't have strict goals for those.
I eat less of what I'd call "filler foods" that aren't all that delightful to me, which tends to be bread I was using as a sandwich container (I just eat the fillings, usually, with increased veggies), wheat pasta (more inclined to use higher-protein legume pastas now, in smaller portions with more veggies), grains.What your exercise is like now, compared to during weight loss?
I'm a rower, on-water when I can, machine when I must. I started that in my mid-40s, even competed (not always unsuccessfully), while staying obese. I like riding my bike, took spin classes twice a week pre-pandemic, now added a stationary bike to the rowing machine at home. I work out 6 days most weeks year around.
I'm lackadaisical about strength training, and did try to be a bit more consistent about that while losing weight, but there was no dramatic change of routine.What strategies you use to get back on track after splurge, vacation or holidayHave you dealt with setback or injury preventing you to be active? How did you deal with it?
That's one thing I like about the "MFP Method" of separately accounting for exercise calories. I have a reasonable understanding of how much to eat when I exercise, or when I can't. Since I've been quite active for 20-something years now, I get moody, tense, and feel poorly physically if I there's a long break in exercise. So far, I've only had physical issues that took me entirely out of exercise of all types for a short time. I could normally get back to at least walking (after surgeries) or upper body exercise (when I broke my ankle) even if I couldn't do all my normal stuff.What is your biggest tip you would like to give to someone looking to either lose, or maintain weight
Figure out personalized tactics, don't buy into "one single true universal path to weight loss" as advocated by some of the named diets and diet gurus. If an approach works for you personally, use it. Somewhere during weight loss, figure out your personalized maintenance habits, things that will work nearly on autopilot, and practice them.3 -

What method did you use to lose the weight?volume eater averaging 40+ g fiber per day and BRUTAL HONESTY with weighing, measuring & logging food, and recording my weight. I fail when I lie to myself.
How long are you in maintenance? about a year
How do you deal with social situations and vacations? Social is easy: I say "no thank you," or "I'm not really hungry right now", and change the conversation. My friends and family know me well enough to know I mean it. Vacay: stick to the plan as much as possible, log as best I can, and if I'm a pound or two up when I get home, I know what to do about it.
What is the biggest challenge for you since you are in maintenance and how do you deal with it? Honesty. Sometimes I'm ashamed of what I eat. There are some old old old head games there. But if I'm willing to eat it, I have to be willing to log it--so I do. Even when I don't like what I see.

What is your biggest tip you would like to give to someone looking to either lose, or maintain weight Patience, honesty and FEELING feelings instead of FEEDING them. I didn't get fat overnight-- I got fat through repetitious choices that become habits--the most damaging of which was the habits of either stuffing down bad feelings or fluffing up good feelings with food. Seeking emotional comfort from a physical source was not mentally or physically healthy for me: I had to practice active self-coaching A LOT: Hey, there, beautiful: Whatcha looking for here in the pantry? You know you've had plenty of calories (your MFP log says so!), so what are you really hungry for--because we both know it's not food. Whatever this feeling is, it's JUST a feeling--it's not a threat, it's not going to cause us physical harm. So let's close the pantry, go sit in our favorite chair and just FEEL whatever this is, okay?" .

Hi, @HappyGrape.
My goal was maintenance when I first started calorie counting (on another site before MFP), so I have a different experience and lack some of the insights of those who have lost an appreciable % of their body weight. My heaviest was high school and I'm probably ~30lb lighter now (don't remember exactly). I lost weight after an ice skating injury my freshman year. I do not recommend that as a weight loss strategy, but I managed to maintain that loss since.
I've been maintaining for 30+years (pregnancy excluded). To me, that means gradually re-gaining and re-losing the same 5lb over & over. When I hit the top of that 5lb maintenance range, I course correct with a SMALL deficit (1-2lb/mo loss). My exercise and diet are the same when I'm cutting (just slightly less quantity). Bottom line is I intuitively eat more than I need to maintain, so if I am not doing something intentionally to limit my intake, I am probably gaining. Calorie counting is the quickest and easiest way to maintain I have found. If I found something easier, I would do that instead. I used to have really erratic swings between over- and under-eating, bingeing and over-restricting. Without an objective consistent way to measure intake, my guesses were off and it was easy to overcorrect. Tools like MFP help me be a lot steadier.
For long vacations and holidays, I might not track at all. Especially on foreign soil where all my meals are in restaurants. It's just too hard to guess. In general I try to enjoy the hell out of the experience but eat (and drink) a little less than I really want. I also try to stay super active. On shorter stays or where I'm actually doing some cooking, it's easier to make accurate guesses and I'm more likely to track. But not always.
As for getting back to the routine after the vacation is over, if my weight is up I will eventually decide it's time to take care of it. I don't want new clothes, and I don't like feeling uncomfortable in tight clothes so I guess that's my motivation. I will say, though, I actually LIKE my exercise and way of eating, and that helps. I depend on discipline rather than being in the mood. Often I don't want to start a workout but I'm always happy I did it.
Injury is a bummer. I had a shoulder condition (not actually an injury) that took me off strength training for almost a year. Yes, I lost strength. It was a huge bummer. Instead of my regular ST, I had these awful PT exercises to do. They HURT. But I did it religiously, and eventually the condition resolved with no surgery or other intervention. I restarted ST with lighter weights and I'm still rebuilding to past strength. I think it really pays to be serious about injury prevention but also realistic that setbacks will happen. And to be smart about healing before loading up too much too soon.
I believe deep in my heart that the only thing that really leads to lasting change (in relationships, career, health, habits, anything) is small things done faithfully, not a herculean effort here and there. E.g. in a marriage, it's not that one over the top anniversary present 10 years ago that makes a marriage better so much as the small kindnesses we extent every day. Same with health. It's not the annual "cleanse" but the small daily habits that make the difference over the long haul. Hence, my tip would be make your routine enjoyable and easy for you. That will make it harder to make excuses.

Approximately 100lbs (7 stone)
How long did it take you to lose the weight?
I lost the bulk of my weight (5 stone) in 10 months, a further stone over the following 6 months as I tried to find my maintenance calories, and now a further stone since I took up walking during lockdown. That last stone has left me bordering on being underweight so is something I need to address
What method did you use to lose the weight?
CICO / logging on MFP
How long are you in maintenance?
7 years plus
How do you deal with social situations and vacations?
Save up calories in the days leading up to a big meal out
What is the biggest challenge for you since you are in maintenance and how do you deal with it?
Not under eating even a teeny weeny bit / not obsessing too much about social occasions when I’m not in control of how my food is prepared / fending off folk who think I have lost too much weight (until recently, I didn’t agree with them because my BMI was 21/22’ish) /
What does a day of eating look like for you now, compared to when you were losing weight? Did it
change? How did it change?
I eat a lot more pizza now! I definitely ate a lot more healthily when I was losing my weight.
What your exercise is like now, compared to during weight loss?
I did very little exercise while losing my weight. After reaching my goal, I did start swimming regularly, and since March 2020, I now walk at least 10,000 steps a day
What strategies you use to get back on track after splurge, vacation or holiday
I’ve been extremely lucky, I’ve never really had to get back on track. During the first couple of years of maintenance, I probably had about 5 days/occasions when I felt I was going to lose total control but managed to talk myself round beforeI did much damage. Luckily I’ve not experienced that feeling of loss of control for a number of years now.
Have you dealt with setback or injury preventing you to be active? How did you deal with it?
No
What is your biggest tip you would like to give to someone looking to either lose, or maintain weight
Be kind to yourself. Accept that you’ll be going on a journey, and the people you’re closest too might not want to come along for the ride!. Log daily to be accountable. Expect fluctuations in your weight. Accept that by changing your weight, you won’t necessary change other things in your life. Be careful not to replace an obsession with food with other obsessions. Exercise but make it manageable. Be prepared to change/adapt how you eat if you lose too much weight, or if you regain a bit of weight. Get used to not having the high losing weight brings. Accept that it’s ok to have an off day when your eating doesn’t go as planned, but don’t make that an excuse for an off week/month.I could go on and on but I’ll stop there!
