Mindy ramsey 13 Posted April 4, 2015 Hows everyone doing? Is anybody at their goal weight? If so what is your calorie intake? What about carbs, fats, Protein intake? What is your height and weight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcanMakeit 1,318 Posted April 4, 2015 I'm glad you posted this. I'm really interested in reading the responses to this question. I'm already below my goal weight, but I'm not confident about transitioning from weight loss mode to maintenance. I'm afraid that as I add calories, I'll add pounds as well. I'm hoping someone will know the best way to stop losing without gaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted April 4, 2015 I'm glad you posted this. I'm really interested in reading the responses to this question. I'm already below my goal weight, but I'm not confident about transitioning from weight loss mode to maintenance. I'm afraid that as I add calories, I'll add pounds as well. I'm hoping someone will know the best way to stop losing without gaining.I slowly started adding more fat and healthy carbs when I was within 10 pounds of my goal weight. Switched from skim milk to 1%, fat free cottage cheese to regular, 0% Greek yogurt to 2%, replaced some Protein Bars with whole grain bars and homemade granola, ate more fruit and nuts, allowed myself a few more deserts, etc. I lost another 20 pounds even after transitioning to a "maintenance diet". My body just found its new normal and I can pretty much keep myself within a 4-5 pound bounce range just by altering my carb intake up or down as needed. Basically eat whatever unless I hit the top end of my range then I go back to Protein and veggie basics until I'm back to the bottom of my range. I still always get 60-80g protein, 64+ oz Water, a variety of veggies and all my Vitamins.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted April 4, 2015 Hows everyone doing? Is anybody at their goal weight? If so what is your calorie intake? What about carbs, fats, Protein intake? What is your height and weight? 5'5", 140#, 10 pounds below goal. I probably get at least 60-80g protein/day (40-60g from my daily smoothie and Quest bar) and minimum 64oz fluids. I don't count calories, carbs or fat, so can't give you an answer there. I Simply eat a well balanced diet of protein, veggies, fruit and whole grains. Sweets, alcohol and other simple carbs in moderation. Love my sleeve! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindy ramsey 13 Posted April 5, 2015 I am also at goal, but it's still hard. I am so afraid of screwing up. I added a couple of calories to my daily intake. I usually eat between 1100-1400 calories a day. I don't deprive myself from anything. But I will not eat to much. I'm still trying to get my eating habits under control. I'm 5'2, hw 225, sw 200, cw 133. Size tight 16 to 6. I never thought I would lose that much. I love it. Everyday is a challenge but I wouldn't change anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IcanMakeit 1,318 Posted April 5, 2015 My problem is that I like my current weight. I really want to maintain it for as long as possible. I know it's a foolish vanity, but this (115 lbs) is the least I have weighed since Jr. High school. I'm enjoying fitting into waist-hugging dresses and skinny jeans. I guess the answer is in the other end of the equation. If I want to broaden my diet, I'll need to exercise more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
