I been logging my weight almost everyday for a month now....weight fluctuates. My log is a perfect example. 

I goal is maintenance not weight loss* 

You are doing great!!!!! 

good job. 

Good illustration of the point that living a healthy lifestyle doesn't end when you reach your goal weight.  

I agree with Phil and also add that reaching our goal weight is not the finish line but our new starting line... Congrats!!! 

The up and down thing makes me crazy but overall 4lbs! Not too shabby. 

Oops .4 not 4 but this is still good. Love the downward trend. I yoyo like crazy. 

Is it wise to weigh every day 

To be honest when I lost most of my weight I never weighted myself. Now I do to keep myself on check.  

There is no end to this, it’s a lifestyle change  

I weigh everyday, but record only on Mondays.  

Good job on maintenance Rosio. What do you do to maintain? Do you count calories, fast, exercise a lot? 

story of my life! 

I hope to be hovering around 122 some day also! 

So very true Rosio maintaining takes more effort than losing in my opinion, great work! 

I definitely count calories. I peek at my macros but I don’t stress about them much, cause i know calories are what dictate if u lose, maintein, or gain weight. The main thing I focus on is calories n hitting 90g-120grams of protein a day (for muscle reasons). I don’t believe in needing cardio for weight lose. I believe in lifting weights. I dislike the gym, but I also know I would have never gotten my results if I would have not been 🏋️‍♀️. I dislike the gym, I LOVE the results of lifting weights. I currently am not fasting but I believe in fasting 18- 6hrs eating window.  

Yes maintenance is very difficult 😅 we gotta understand that we can never eat as much as a person that’s physically similar as we are in goal weight. For instance my sister in law has always been 125lbs ( as an adult) eating whatever she wants, now I’m 120-125lbs. I can never ever eat as much as she can. Her body is different than my body (even thou we now weight the same) I gotta admit it, accept it and if I want to feel good about my physical appearance I will forever have to watch what I eat. Forever. 

Hence is a lifestyle change. 

Oh yes I lift weights 2-3 days a week.
