Any of you maintainers lose weight after maintaining for awhile?

This has started to happen to me. No big deal really. I just find it odd and strange-that after maintaining for so long-that the scale is moving in a downward trend again. Perhaps, a new set point is in order by the end of this year.

Yes, count me in,
for no aparent reason my weight is down 3 pounds to what is was
before Christmas, even though I gained a few pounds during christmas
break. I really hope it sticks, I like this new number :-)

What are you eating? Any changes in exercise? I would love to get mine moving again!!

I notice I crave more fat than usual, so I basically eat meat and dairy, like cream and yogurt( and LOTS of dark chocolate, like 30g per meal), and just nibble on the vegetables. Yesterday I went crazy
with the peanuts I had bought, and had chicken legs and whiped cream (and chocolate).
Lunch is always salad with tuna, I don't eat breakfast, but usually have milk and coffee around 10h00 and 16h00.
Exercise has been usual, just a short hard run yesterday, trying to keep it
3 times a week. Just dropped 2 pounds from yesterday.I'm baffled...

I think water retention does play a big role with the weight here...
But I did notice that I went a long time, like 3 months without moving one pound down, and was exercising 4-5 times a week and logging my food
on fitday.
Our bodies have their own agenda

We don't know it all...

Best wishes!!

Has it dropped more than 4lbs from your previous maintnance weight?

ladyathome · 02-12-2009, 08:43 PM

Yes, I have lost a few more pounds during maintenance. No big deal. I maintained within a pound or two for a long time, then my weight went down a pound or two. Now I am maintaining at the lower weight. It's strange, but I'll take it.
