It is always a work in progress I find. I wonder what is the maintenance zone? I usually allow 7lbs before I go back to diet zone.  

That's a good question Anne, I still don't know it yet but thanks for your suggestion! I'm still working out as well how many calories per day more or less......probably I need to start track back the daily intake for a while just to see a d understand!! 

It is a very fine balance with many variables! I set my parameters at 7lbs above or below target weight as I can 'get away with' that amount as I am tall and well built. (I have never had to implement the below target, sadly) 

I have the same doubts! I lose weight with a lot of effort and put my kg back in an instant! now I am really determined to get back in shape, but I am afraid to get discouraged .... you inspire me! 🤗 

You seem like you're doing well though Claudia and catching it before it becomes an issue. I hope I am able to do as well as you 🙏 🙃 

That’s exactly what I did I put on 1.8kg but lost half of that this week and hopefully when I weigh in on Friday I will be close but we will get the rhythm soon 

Aw Claudia lol I bet you’ve been celebrating 😊 and you deserve to 😋 I guess it will take a little while to figure out the balance  

Thanks Anne, Simo, Pebble, Razor and Nutricali for your encouraging words! I find easy to lose weight but even easier to gain it 😅!! I guess it's normal to loose or gain whilst in maintenance mood and I don't want to be too strict as each week can be different from another however I would like to keep things in control to avoid bad surprise or disappointment after the hard work done!! 😊 Thanks again  

I’m definitely back up a bit too 😅 if it’s any consolation x 

😅 you too?? Thanks Nutricali but don't worry I think I'm ready for rollercoaster rides 🤣💪🎢🎡🎢🥳
