I'm still around but I don't post much since I have been maintaining at around 107-108. My original goal was 113, then 110, but I have to say I like being below 110. However, I am about 3 inches shorter than you, so you would be fine at 110 and may find it easier to maintain in the long run. I would love to stay at 106 (saw it once last week!) and give myself a cushion. Meaning, if I hit 109, time to start getting stricter with the diet and exercise. I think you look great so my advice is pick a goal that won't be too tough to maintain. Especially in the summer. I know I tend to go out more and see friends and it's difficult to count every darn almond!
I'd love to join in, I've been struggling to maintain. Last summer I weighed 106-108lbs, i was maintaining that for a year. Over the winter I gained, was up to 122lbs. until recently. Just dropped 10lbs., knew it was time to diet strict. I really want to be at 108 again by August, that's my 2 yr. maintenance anniversary. I'm trying hard and not giving up this time, 4 lbs to go!
Ekicna- Yay!! you made your goal! Good to see you here!
kat999- Thanks so much, looks like your doing a great job too!!
My weight loss is stalling out, I've been the same weight for 3 days. These last 4 lbs will take forever & I'm starting to get cravings for sweets. I don't want to lower my calories, my limit is 1200 now. Can't go any lower!
Ekicna- I'm doing the same amount of exercise I always did. I do more if I have an off plan day. But you have to be careful about how often you have off plan days, cause one day can lead to another. I maintained this long by making sure the weight I gained from a big eating day was gone, before i would do it again. Don't let it build up, you'll gain all the weight back. That was my mistake this past month, I overate, then was on plan for a few days. I overate again before I lost the weight from the first time. Soon I was 14lbs heavier than last summer!
