If you are ready, it's time and that's OK that you are not at goal RIGHT NOW and just because you phase off and adjust to maintenance doesn't mean that you will gain it back, will never go back to finish off the rest of the weight, etc.
Learning maintenance is a challenge..an exciting one! For me, taking my time to get to the finish line has been OK. I was already at a place where I felt so much better and looked great.
Good luck!
Thank you and congrats! It's inspiring to hear positive results of phasing off Originally Posted by eandc2006

What I have done over the last year and a half is constantly monitor, and that has mean doing some reboots here and there, but now I am at 130 my original goal and my path of phasing off when I did and maintaining and then losing here and there has worked.

I'm in the final week of school now though so my days and nights sitting over a computer will significantly reduce and maybe soon I'll have time to get outside and use my bike (if it EVER warms up here - yeesh) in the evenings instead.
