Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / May 2007Who is in maintenance?
Since so many ASDers have successfully made their goal and are successfully maintaining their weight I thought it would be inspiring if they posted to this thread. Tell us your starting weight, your goal, and how long you have been successfully maintaining it :-). > Since so many ASDers have successfully made their goal and are > successfully maintaining their weight I thought it would be inspiring > if they posted to this thread. > > Tell us your starting weight, your goal, and how long you have been > successfully maintaining it :-). It depends what you consider maintaining. My views changed when I reached my goal weight(150). To complicate things further I overshot it and dropped to 140. So, I have spent the last 10 years trying to reach a new heavier goal (165 w/10% body fat). Is under the goal considered maintaining? If so, I'll say 10+ years. 185/165/160  SignatureCheese http://cheesensweets.com/contacts/cheese.php >Since so many ASDers have successfully made their goal and are >successfully maintaining their weight I thought it would be inspiring >if they posted to this thread. > >Tell us your starting weight, your goal, and how long you have been >successfully maintaining it :-). My signature sort of summarizes this, but I started at 262 (though at one time my weight was more around 275) and my goal was to be in the 130s. It took me about 2 years to reach that goal, and I've been maintaining it for almost 3 years now. I am, for those who don't know, a 59-year-old (as of today :-) ) female.

It's actually been a sad day in some ways, as I find I am missing my mother more than usual. I don't feel I have much family left. (I do have a brother, who's a good guy and who called to wish me happy birthday, but it's not the same anymore.) But friends help :-). Chris *hugs* I think I understand what you mean... I'm lucky to still have both my parents, but everybody (family, friends, relative) are all the way accross the continent.. my birthday is thursday and I'm not looking forward to celebrating without any of them.. And yet, they're still around, I imagine it must be hard for you so close to the time you lost her... *hugs again* Will~ >>Happy Birthday Chris! >>Will~ [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Chris Thanks -- it was a difficult day.

Chris >Tell us your starting weight, your goal, and how long you have been >successfully maintaining it :-). I'm a 58 year old male and have lost hundreds of pounds over the last 40 years. I've also gained hundreds of pounds during that time. LOL At present, I've managed to lose the largest total amount of weight in my history, and I'm still going down. I consider that a success, and if I can continue losing, that will be more of a success. Time will tell. :) 602/460/250 SignatureZilbandy > At present, I've managed to lose the largest total amount of weight in > my history, and I'm still going down.

Newbie to maintenance. Holding steady (plus or minus a couple of lbs.) for about 6 weeks. RCE 260/195/195 > Newbie to maintenance.

I originally lost my weight in 1984 and maintained until early 1996 when I quit smoking and gained weight. I lost the weight by the end of the year and have been able to maintain at or near my goal weight.

Starting weight was 245 lbs in July 2003. I reached my inital goal of 185 in December 2003. I then changed my goal to 165 lbs in order to improve my running performance. I reached 165 lbs in April 2004. I've been maintaining in the mid 160s ever since (3 years now). I owe my success to counting calories using DietPower, long distance running, and weight training. And of course reading this group. ;-) SignaturePhil M. Yes. You said the "calorie" word. IMHO calorie counting is critical, but very very unpopular. It is good to see someone who has maintained this way. > tinker123@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > calories using DietPower, long distance running, and weight training.

I think most agree that a caloric deficit, either by decreasing your input or increasing your output (exercise), or both, is a way to lose weight and maintaining a caloric balance is a sure way to maintain the loss. Following specific diets that don't count calories are only hiding the calorie counting from the dieter. Nothing wrong with that, if it works.

Nothing hidden just not necessary with the Two Pound Diet.

Dear I ran into your message quite accidentally while researching about some details on 'Exercise' and thought of sharing some of my findings. I've read at 'http://www.medical-health-care-information.com/Health- living/exercise/index.asp' that Swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, aerobic dancing, walking or any of dozens of other activities can help your heart. Whether it's included in a structured exercise program or just part of your daily routine, all physical activity adds up to a healthier heart. I hope the above is of some help to you as well. Regards, Sherrybove > I ran into your message quite accidentally Seems you're running into a lot of messages "quite accidentally"... http://tinyurl.com/2kr5rb What's your point (besides spamming several newsgroups)? SignaturePhil M. Indeed. Yes. Most diets try to trick people into reduced calories without saying the word calorie. Given the high failure rate, maybe there is something wrong with that. I have felt that the "Deal A Meal" product and the Weight Watchers' point system epitomized this. > no@not.not wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > the calorie counting from the dieter.

I don't maintain anything except eating less than 2lbs per day. Signaturehttp://www.steppenwolf.com/lyr/mnnster.html >I don't maintain anything except eating less than 2lbs per day. Gee, I should use your idea, only I'm trying to get used to the metric system, so I'll start out at 2kg a day. ::drooling:: :) SignatureZilbandy >>I don't maintain anything except eating less than 2lbs per day. > > Gee, I should use your idea, only I'm trying to get used to the metric > system, so I'll start out at 2kg a day. ::drooling:: :) Or you could properly convert. http://www.convertunits.com/from/pounds/to/kg Signaturehttp://www.steppenwolf.com/lyr/mnnster.html > Since so many ASDers have successfully made their goal and are > successfully maintaining their weight I thought it would be inspiring > if they posted to this thread. > > Tell us your starting weight, your goal, and how long you have been > successfully maintaining it :-). Starting weight, 219, current weight 140, maintaining nearly eight years, age 76 Diva > Starting weight, 219, current weight 140, maintaining nearly eight > years, age 76 Looking around me it seems inevitable that people have to get heavier as they get older. Your story is truly inspiring to me. Thanks Steve >> Starting weight, 219, current weight 140, maintaining nearly eight >> years, age 76 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Steve Though I certainly don't claim Diva's length of maintenance, and I'm not as old, I lost half my bodyweight starting at age 54. Took two years to lose, and have been maintaining for another three -- just turned 59. I weigh less now than I did in high school (and am more fit :-) ).
