I started my maintenance around May 12th, I weighed 186. By may 15th, I had gained three lbs and have been happily floating between 189-190 since then. I will hit four weeks on Saturday. Because I've been maintaining almost from the beginning, do you think I should start my cut (thinking only 10% to start) or continue on maintenance for another four weeks?

Oh and just a side note, prior to starting maintenance, I'd been eating about 2100 calories a day (except non-exercise days) since January.

Thanks!
~ Carrie

    I think you could begin your cut whenever you feel ready. It sounds like you're in a great place. Keep up the good work!
