Your idea of target weight and your body's idea are different. Most people have this issue.

I know I do. I love my diet at 200 pounds and I struggle to get to 185-190 where I look better.

Its true, Chesty, the body is a highly evolved machine and as humans, we are at its mercy sometimes in terms of understanding.

I have been thinking about it whilst doing my cardio this morning, Diablo. And it all boils down to CICO as usual. I just eat too much. Not a lot too much, but too much none the less!!

I feel ya. I maintained for a year and a half until I gained it back but it was always 10-12 pounds above my goal. Frustrating.

I find maintenance very hard, davidsprincess. I know how to get to target, but staying there is my biggest challenge!!

maybe your set weight is just higher than you want? or you slightly eat more that you should?

Well fair play to you Anne - such attention to detail, I’ve evolved a different strategy (joke) I don’t maintain anything re exercise or food intake 🤷♂️I just do as I wish/feel/fit in time wise - 🤣🤣🤣 probably not a great suggestion 🙃

I find maintenance harder than actual weight loss. I keep my calories around 1800 then have a blow out now and again, that's the way I maintain 😀👍

Maintenance is hard. I continue to log and hold myself accountable and remind myself this is how I should be eating 90% of the time but it is ok to indulge occasionally because not having a food you love will set you up for failure. You got this - one day at a time.

I am yet to maintain properly! It’s so hard and I’d rather be losing weight than maintaining but it’s needs to be tackled!
