Morning everyone
This is my first week for trying to maintain my weight - I got to my goal weight of 10st7 last wednesday, took me a year and a half and I went from 19 stone (266 pounds) to 10stone 7 (145 pounds) and a UK dress size 22 to a 10 and I am over the moon!! So I am in the middle of my first week trying to maintain my goal weight.
To get to goal, I counted calories and stuck to a 1000 a day and did exercise of course I drank lots of water and I counted everything I eat. OK, so my plan to maintain is to do the same, but to add in fruit (unlimited) and veg (unlimited) without counting them - so i'll still have a 1000 a day, but have lots of fruit and veg which will be "free" and to exercise the same amounts and drink the same amount of water.
Thursday and friday went fine. Saturday and sunday were a bit different (it was my birthday!) but overall this week, I will have stuck to 7000 over the whole week, changing each day but not going over 7000 for the whole week - but this doesnt include fruit and veg. I have done the same amount of exercise as normal and drunk plenty of water still. So I was wondering if you could tell me if this seems like a good plan to maintain?? I'll weigh in each week as before - and i'll weigh in this wednesday night at the gym as normal and fingers crossed I will have stay at 10,7! I really dont want to have put on weight on my first week of mainting!!!! So any tips and advice would be great!!!!
I am over the moon to have gotten to my goal weight, but I know this is the really tricky bit - and I so dont want to put on again.
Thanks !!! I'll have to let you know if I have stayed the same when I checked on wednesday night - fingers crossed!!!!
