    Do about 100 every two weeks, you should be fine. It takes about 2 weeks for the body to adjust to a change in eating patterns.

    thanks for the info!! Now i just need to get there!! going to the movies last night and eating popcorn sure didn't help the scale this morning and eating the last bit of my b-day cake!!!

    Congrats!!! :flowerforyou:

    When I reached goal (through WW) I was terrified to increase my calories. I actually kept losing weight for another couple of weeks and then started to trust the system by upping the calories. I did simple things like: I used to have half a bagel for breakfast, I upped it to a full bagel. Nothing too large of an increase.

    You'll do grand. Just don't be surprised if you don't see your weight flatlining from the very first. As I'm sure you've seen over your journey, our bodies aren't calculators and don't respond in exactly the way we expect them to.

    Again, congratulations!!!

    Congrats! Quite a journey! What is working so far for me is cutiing back slightly on exercise, used to go 7 days a week, now 5 days and upping calories slightly. Used to stay under 1700, now I go as far up as to 2000 based on how much activity I have done. So no exercise days, I am trying to keep it around 1700-1800, big exercise days I let myself have 2000 or so. I just took really about a week to change, and so far so good. Good Luck!

    Thanks so much to all of you for the great information. I am a bit nervous about adding extra calories but I guess I just have to trust MFP and myself. Thanks again for the info.

    It's been a joy to watch your progress. It sounds cheesy, but it really has been a great motivator to keep going.

    Yay Kerri!!!
    Congrats hon!!!

    It took me about 2 weeks to get up to my maintenance cals (went from around 1300 to almost 1700).
    It's still a bit hard for me to eat those cals but it's feels good to finally be there.. again!:wink:

    You'll do just fine!
