Ola's Weight Loss Journey. Maintenance


I have reached maintence.

Original start April 15, 2017 (300 pounds)
Original goal weight obtained April 30, 2019 (165 pounds)
Maintenance weight decided December 18, 2020 (165 pounds)

I tried to reach 155 as my goal weight. However for over a year I keep bouncing between 165 and 170. I have reached 155, but without starving myself, I cannot hold under 160. So, I am accepting 165 as my maintenance weight. It is time to focus on new life improvements. I ...

I tried to reach 155 as my goal weight. However for over a year I keep bouncing between 165 and 170. I have reached 155, but without starving myself, I cannot hold under 160. So, I am accepting 165 as my maintenance weight. It is time to focus on new life improvements. I accept that the weight loss part of my journey has been achieved. I will not just maintain what I have. On to new things.

    Welcome to the 55+ Maintainers Team. I read your story and found it inspiring and heartwarming.
    I am sorry for your loss of your DH. It is easy to get lost in grief without even realizing it until you look in the mirror one day and really see yourself and know.
    Please join in our daily chat and let us get to know you.
    Continued success to you.

    Our names sure start off close! You didn't ask, but I thought I'd send along addresses to the two maintaining teams I know about. I lead three other teams, so I honestly don't participate on them much (pretty much been maintaining since 2013, thought not near as impressive a loss as yours), but they are active with real interaction.

    Hope these work, if you're interested.

    And again, congrats!
