[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m almost at my goal of 130, down from 140 (now hovering between 131-132). Not sure what I’ll do once I reach it. I’ve never been able to maintain weight loss before but this time I made very sustainable changes and the weight came off slowly (over 3 months). I think I may just keep consistent and if more weight comes off that’s fine and if not, that’s fine too. I don’t feel deprived at all and I’m loving my healthier, more mindful approach to diet and exercise. Feels good.[/quote]

That's great. I'm also doing the slow and steady route. How tall are you?[/quote]

I’m 5’9”. I didn’t have much to lose so the weight came off slowly and I’m good with that. I didn’t really set out to lose but to develop healthy habits that don’t involve lots of rules or restrictions. When I started to lose on this new program, albeit slowly, I took that as a sign I was a bit out of balance. I average about 1500 calories a day, more if I’m active. I eat well and walk daily. Take a yoga or dance class once or twice a week. I plan to add some resistance to help with balance and metabolism. Working on sleep and mindfulness. My energy is better and my clothes fit again.

This is a great thread.[/quote]

Adding clarity, I said initially that 130 was my goal but that’s not exactly accurate. That’s just the low end of the range I’ve been over the past 30 years.

Also, I mentioned that I didn’t want to restrict or follow rules. But I don’t drink or eat dairy, so those may be hard rules for many.[/quote]

I think you'll find most folks on this thread are not following strict rules or guidelines, no one is struggling with obesity etc , but instead, we're following what works individually. [/quote]
