As many of you have noticed, I have not been logging my food lately..it's been an experiment, and a pretty successful one. I wanted to see if I could still lose at the same rate just eating my usual kinds of foods and not counting calories.....I figured at some point, I needed to see how likely it was that when I went into maintenance at some later time, that I could successfully eat without obsessing about calories.
Apparently, I am going to be able to just eat and workout and live and not have a problem on the scale and not have to track everything so diligently...good to know for my future.
I do eat the same kinds of foods from week to week, and I apparently have learned to listen to my body and eat when I'm hungry. Winning! hahahaha
(Also, my BMI is now 31.3, for record's sake.)

Thats great! I think hitting maintenance is something we all wonder/worry about but pretty confident that the changes ive made will stick regardless of whether im tracking or not... I hope lol

good experiment! I wonder the same thing for myself some days. I like your definition of winning! Sometimes the hard part is stopping for me though!

You're a brave soul. I am 7 lbs. from maintenance and it's a big issue for me to learn how to maintain my loss.

I'm seriously considering changing my goal weight by another 10lbs or so. I was too afraid to hope for a 98lb loss in the beginning, but now, I COULD go for it and be at what is considered 'normal weight" by every measure possible. I have alot more faith I can do it if I choose to now.
I am 4lbs away from my ticker becoming green and only have 29 to go before I hit goal right now.

Hit your current goal, then change it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. STep at a time.
