This week I have been really hungry, so I am eating. I did not fast nor saved calories for the weekend🙊🐷😐. I will call it ; my week off💃. Next week I am planning to exercise more and also will increase my calorie intake. I am officially maintaining my weight since last month and I did great, but eating 1700 calories per day feels like I am still dieting and I don't want to spend my next 50-60 years eating too little, (I will have to when I get older, but right now I have plenty of energy to get the fuck out of my comfort zone and move my butt. 😁😏🏋️♀️) So if I have to gain a little weight back I will but I want to eat more, my clothes still fit me and I still feel good weighing 105-110 lbs.
I think that we should think about our maintenance, when we start losing weight with 1200 or less calories per day while you are still weighing more than 200 lb. We should ask ourselves; DO I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE EATING ONLY 1200 CALORIES PER DAY OR LESS, TO MAINTAIN MY WEIGHT?? If you fine with that; go ahead! 😊 #notMe
Although I did not lose my weight with too little calories, (my calorie intake was 1500, 1700 calories)just the last 6-5 pounds with 1200, the thing is: The less we weight the less calories our body will need to function.

I have been giving this some thought too. I'm not sure though, most websites tell me that 1600-1700 will be maintenance but that feels like it will be weight gain. I don't know but I do know that I want to start thinking about it as early as possible so that I won't be surprised...lol, I hate surprises!

Fatsecret tells me that I should eat 1700 calories if I am sedentary, and it works, I have been really lazy with this weather. 1700 is a lot of food if you are eating a lot of vegetables, low calorie foods. But I like to eat all kind of food so sometimes I have to be hungry to maintain my weight. That is not funny 😐

Yup - either occasional hunger or exercise. Our choice :) I prefer exercise, better all the way around.

yep, I stick around the 1600+ range of calories for maintenance, but some days I just want to eat and end up over 2000. it is good for the body to be spoiled once in a while, I am just plain not going to diet to maintain my weight any more. eating clean and avoiding foods that cause me issues will let things take care of themselves!

That is true, sometimes I
find hard to eat all my calories because I am not hungry so I will not worry about, and the days I want to eat more I will eat. As long as I feel comfortable with my body, I will be fine. I know that if I am exercising more I will gain muscles. I just will not longer try to maintain exactly 100lbs. I was feeling fine with 110 lb. before.
