I've been in maintenance for nearly 2 years now and it has been a journey in itself in discovering how to stay there. What my personal recipe is:* I continued to log my food but a bit more loose than when on my journey. I still weigh some stuff but not all anymore But I will include a weighing everything day on a regular…

And it does not stop either. I haven't lost anything over the last 2 years Been steady in maintenance. Yet my parents are convinced I am still loosing and that I am, and I quote "crashing my body due to too much exercise" Now for sure my body has changed over the last year and a half as I have become a decent runner and…

I had a lot gof eight there too and a lot of chub rub. No longer though. But it has taken a gazzilion squats and lots of running and weight training to be rid of it

I eat salads a lot and those 'free' items are not so free. Note: I do not use dressing so that one is not included in my counts! My salad counted can be anywhere between 130 and 250 calories depending on what vegetables I put in. Considering you want to be at 1200 that would be 11-21% of you calorie allowance. That is not…

I have been in maintenance fr a year and a half. Skin will or will not stretch back It depends on how long it has been stretched and also your genes. Neither of which you can influence. The one you can influence is weight training I found it helped but not a 100% cure. I started doing weights fairly early on in my journey.…

Well had a short talk with my mother over the weekend. It is not similar. She finished at 56 and had an increase of het period and more intense periods. Lots of hot flashes but that was it really. I have not had a period since I finished with the oral contraceptives (2 months) Some hot flashed but not that bad Big…

I went off the pill 2 months ago No sign of periods yet. I have the physical side of ovulation to the pint that I an feel my ovaries swelling, but no period. If I go like you then I'll be happy. with it No sleep problems here but do recognise the brain fog though that seems to be liften now for the most part. A few weeks…

I know I am suffering less from hot flushes than my mum did but by coincidence I have planned to take to my mother about it on my coming visit

I go nuts over nuts. Once I start it is so hard to stop.My husband hides them as he loves them after a run.

With @summerskier on this one. For me I found a new focus goal in performance too. For instance increase my running stamina, weights etc. For instance I find hitting 10K steps per day hugely motivating. I am still chasing a number I guess just wanting this one to go up.My current streak is 421 days and honestly I just…

I kept it simple. My intitial goal weight was top of BMI range. Once I was there I kept it there for a bit and decided that I wanted to be in the middle of the BMI range at 22,5. For me that was 56kg. I have had that as my goal and maintenance weight for 4 respectively 2 years now. My range is 55-57 and that works like a…

As you are female try to see if it is linked to your menstrual cycle.

Due to shortage on the market I had to switch from one pil to a generic one. I was not responding well to it. Read: I was angry and miserable. So despite my earlier statement I did stop as I really felt I was not myself. Given that I had seen the same thing when I was a teenager I knew there were two options: stop or go…

I sugest a medical check up

I frequent vintage and websites for designer clothes. In my new size there is an awful lot for sale. I am spoiled for choice, well over what other sizes have on offer. Seems that the small sizes often have to be sold. Not complaining though at times my wallet is

For me it was a case of: usually during the week I eat like I did when I was loosing weight I liked it and it has become a habit. My extra calories go to the weekend and that is when I eat more and enjoy new things. Call it a ref-feed if you want. I still plan for the specials like christmas etc, or coming weekend when I…

I know all this and I still stretch. Simply put; it makes me feel good and that is the only, and for me best, reason to do it

I went off the pill for a while in my late thirties and it was h*ll. Pain was just bearable (I have a high pain threshold) but the PMS was not. So I am very reluctant unless under GP supervision

Not to that extend but I do notice my gum being more sensitive

totally possible More is possible as well asI know from experience

50 here and definitely peri menopausal, though I don't have periods - I have been on the pill continuously for at least 12 years due to severe PMS and period pains. Having said that I recognise mood swings, big emotional blow outs etc as my PMS signs, combined with foggy mind and things just not going as I want. Hot…

I did for most of my journey - took the long and slow rad for my own benefit

No because I seriously do not like the stuff

It is totally a personal choice. I'm Mizuno all the way but that is only because I started with them an I like them. So I just buy the same shoe over and over again On my fourth pair now.

Been in maintenance for 15 months now. I still track because I actually enjoy doing it and I know it keeps me more honest with myself On an occasion like you describeI kinda track if I can - it will be rough and I know it, but it is in my database . If not possible to track for whatever reason then I will add a rough…

Did you enter your lifestyle as inactive, slightly active or active?

Seriously? You believe those scales over science? The inaccuracy of those scales is notorious. Their repeatability and measurement uncertainty makes any scientist run for cover and would not be allowed in any serious experiment
