I’m trying to figure out when to stop losing and when to start maintaining. Hearing that you have found a goal that seems to be a pretty good spot for you is encouraging to me!
I’ve been focused on BMI, but I may be tossing it out the window in favor of something a bit more personal— ME!
Oh, and a family cruise sounds like lots of fun too. Lucky girl!!
Thanks Sweetie! I think BMI is a good place to start and a good place to find a good range for you, but a lot of it is just finding where you’re happiest and where it’s easy to maintain. I think anyone could always “lose more”, but if it’s not easy to maintain, it’s just going to be frustrating and harder than it needs to be. Good luck finding your perfect place
Hi Emily! Thanks! Yeah, it’s always a hard thing – sometimes I’m completely happy at one point, but after losing the weight, it often feels weird if I’m NOT losing – does that make sense? Like I was used to being the losing mode for a while so it’s hard to change my mindset to “maintenance”.
