Daily Discipline. I wake up and drink my vitamins. Stretch or Yoga or Pilates for 20 -30 minutes, drink my coffee and do my bible study. I log my calories and focus on what is the best food choice in front of me. I use a device to count stands/steps/movements/ exercise and meet or exceed my maintenance goal most days. The…

NSV - working out on thanksgiving day just because I wanted to!

I love barre 3 , but just signed up for the daily burn’s barre harmony. But I also liked several you tubers.

Barre and Pilates..you still need to do your nutrition right but the focus is on long and lean.

I actually like the wii yoga.

Don't eat for hunger, eat for health. Easier said than done. It is the dregs of summer in Houston.

google "The Menopause Makeover".. this book saved me.. I lost 46 pounds in the last year of menopause and have kept it off. It is available on Kindle and I think the author has a blog and website. I committed to a new lifestyle of tracking calories, did all 4 phases of the dukan diet to lose the weight and stick with most…

I have found that getting my 10000 steps a day goal is what allows me to sleep more than 6 hours a night. Sleep + eating right # of right calories + getting minimum exercise + drinking enough water = happy maintenance. But I have to do all 4, and all maintaining weight makes exercise easier, water makes thinking and moving…

So once I got to my "chart" weight range I went to a Doctor who specializes in maintaining performing artists health (I am a musician when I am not an accountant). It was very helpful. Other than that, this link:http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/bmitools.htm is kinda helpful. It talks about these things…

Has anyone tried sweet potato toast? Supposedly you slice long ways and just put the slices in a toaster? I saw this on TV while waiting to pick up something at a store....

Maintenance was part of my original commitment to myself .. Logging calories in, weighing daily, getting 10,000 steps in and going for 8 hours sleep a night, drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. Throwing out the unflattering don't fit anymore clothes. the change in lifestyle spilled into my consumption of just about…

So I found that it was when I lost about 50% of the weight I wanted to lose that I noticed the most, and then after that, every 2 pounds I lost was a higher percentage of what I had left to lose. So it was very noticeable. Some where here in the forums is the "weight loss is like a roll of paper towels" theory . I can't…

No, but I get a buzz from the ones with all fresh vegetables,apples, etc. Have to drink them very slowly.

So I got back to being active by just tracking my standing and steps. I made sure I got a minimum of 20 minutes standing a day total and walking no less than 10000 steps. Sometimes it is still my minimum thing I do. But it does help. I used a Nike fit band, now I use a Apple Watch. it is amazing how hard it was in the…

Maintained a 46 pound loss since reaching goal in the summer of 2013. I use to be part of the "65%" who regained weight (2 seperate WW lifetime member in 2 different decades). But this time, it was a lifetime commitment, not with WW, but no matter, I am logging.
-
Honestly, I went on a strict 1 year maintenance program after losing 46 pounds and I am still motivated every day to log and move and eat within my plan three years later. I haven't been perfect, but I have stayed within my goal range - the difference this time was 100% for health reasons, and the realization that I only I…
-
Sure did. went from a "9" to an "8.5" and some shoes an 8. I generally were a 8.5 medium.
-
Actually, at about 10 pounds above my "goal weight range of 128-133". I don't really see a difference at 139, but wow do I feel a difference...

Maintenance is a new adjustment just like losing weight is an adjustment. I agree with the poster that says think of the food allowance over a week vs a day. You really don't have to eat back every calorie you exercise on the day you exercise.
-
So this is so me in 2013 when I lost 39 pounds in like three months. then I took three more months to lose 5, and then another to lose 2 more. I stayed firm with the calories, and just kept upping my activity level...

Enjoy! We went on a cruise last fall and Turky was a wonderful place!

So I just got more active. Walked more steps, do yoga or barre3- but not for an hour, just 15 minutes a day. I have worn a fitness band of some sort and I make sure I stand enough. Start small, add more activity every day. I tried the gym and a personal trainer in 2014... so not my thing, but learned I love TRX. Find your…

Get some of the double stick tape and just tape the neckline in place. Get a friend to safety pin your dress from the inside ... been there, done that...

My husband has lost over 60 pounds in the last year by weighing his food and logging it. He even measures out his glasses of wine. I say, try it for one day. don't change a darn thing, but weigh/measure your food and log it for one day. Include every stick of gum, every spoonful of gravy/sauce/jelly/honey/sugar. My husband…

Lost 46 pounds in about 6 months, maintained for over three years. there is never a vacation from fitness in my humbled opinion.
-
No, because after a few years on maintenance I realize staying healthy active and feeling good take the discipline of proper nutrition and exercise and sleep and drinking water. And weighing in at least once a week if not daily. Just like brushing my teeth or bathing daily, it's all part of the routine.
-
NSV - despite being in 7 different countries is 4 different time zones, managed to log every day and keep my streak alive! Whoop!
-
I only weigh once in the morning. I have been maintaining since 2013. 3-5 pounds up or down after salty foods. After 10 days in Venice and a cruise, up 3 pounds this morning. Will go on my Dukan PP and PV days for two weeks. We averaged 15000 steps a day, all my clothes are loose and my rings are very loose. I have a 5k to…

I got an injury several years ago when trying to run my first half marathon. I walked the 5k fun run instead. After that, I made the decision walking or running in a 5k every year was a good thing. For me.

Everything is bad/good for you. I have dairy every day. Not gallons of it, but I probably have yogurt or cream in my coffee or ounce or two of cheese or cottage cheese .. not all at once, probably 1 to 3 servings a day.
