    I've gained about five pounds over the last month, which has nothing to do with eating differently around the holidays. And I'm totally comfortable with my weight gain.

    I went on maintenance a couple of months ago after hitting a low of132, eight pounds below my goal. I started consciously eating up to 1,500 calories a day to stop losing. I went up to 135 and stayed there for several weeks. I started adding even more variety to my diet, no longer avoiding carbs and fats as if they were poison.

    I've now settled in at a range of 139-141, which I consider a good weight. I no longer look quite as gaunt as I did at 132 and I feel great. The challenge now is to stay here. It's still a bit of trial and error.

    Happy new year to all, and congratulations on our upcoming first anniversary!

    This is so close to what I am dealing with!

    I was sleeved Feb 12 and didn't have a "stall week" at all until I was at 145 (mr Drs goal weight) but then I lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks and was down to 140. Now at 135 I have been steady for about a month, but would really like to be 140-145.

    I haven't eaten well at all the past couple weeks. Just pretty much whatever I wanted. I didn't track and I didn't gain.

    If I eat correctly, I strugglento get in 1200 calories still.

    How much is everyone eating at a meal sitting. My dr says that I should be up to 1 cup at 1 year but I can barely do 1/2 cup.

    For example yesterdays dinner was 1 egg with some pico de gallo and bell peppers. I measured it and it was 1/2 a cup and I didn't clear my plate. There were still a couple bites left.

    I really dont want to lose more (5'5" and 135, a size 4 jean!) But am terrified of gaining but would like 140. Help! Suggestions?


  2. I am 8 months out (2/12/19) and have reached my goal weight(140lbs) 5lbs less than my dr's goal weight.

    I am now in a size 27 jean (4/6) and small medium shirt. I dont want to get smaller. How do I go about NOT losong and only maintaining, without adding in carbs. I eat veggies but avoid white and refined carbs (including potatoes)

    I dont want to get back into old habits.
