I Think I Finally Settled On My Maintence Weight...was That Hard For Anyone Else?

It has taken me a long time to update my ticker because I got down to 115 but then bounced a bit up to 120 and seem to stay here.Which I felt guilty about. I felt like I did something wrong. But the truth is my hubby thinks I should go up to 130. I am happy with 120!

So, here is the question...if you are in maintence, did you get to a low and then bounce a bit?Not back and forth bounces like 5 pound cushion, I am talking about lowest weight and then a weight you seem to have settled at now. I am months 16 out and while I am thrilled at everything this surgery has done for me I thought that I would have less worry at goal but now I find myself worrying that I will regain...Guess I need to just relax:)

Wow! Congrats on reaching your goal! What an inspiration! A lot of hard work! I can't wait until I am there. I would certainly relax and enjoy all of your hard work, but being careful not to slip back into the old eating habits. You have done great and it is time to reward yourself!!

Congrats! I think that you are perfectly just where you are. I would focus on maintenance and healthy eating habits. If you loose more, then that's great, if not, it's no big deal. It's time to be ok with yourself. You look fantastic BTW!

My surgeon told me this would happen. He said to set my goal at whatever I wanted, I chose 135 because of my height, but to know that I really needed to go down about 5-10 pounds more because my body would bounce back some. So to compensate for that, I intend to get to 125 as my lowest and then I have 10 pounds of wiggle room for the bounce back that he said was coming. I am happy to hear of someone that this happened to, it gives what he told me some creedance. Maybe it will give you some comfort knowing this is totally normal and expected.

Thanks for the replies....I am trying to be good with where I am at...just not sure if this is the "sweet spot". I also started running which cause the scale to go up because muscle weighs more.
