  • I would say that as your life and your interests change that maintaining can be a challenge. However, you'll also find that you have some built-in alarms and cues that let you know when you're starting to slip up. For example, once you hit maintenance you might go out and update your wardrobe. This new wardrobe will start…

  • I was happy to check in daily precisely because weight can vary so radically for various reasons. Water weight alone can alter your measurement by 5 lbs in a single day.
