Weight loss goal



Recommended Posts

Congratulations on reaching goal weight!

It isn't necessrily the meals but an increased calorie intake that will help maintain weight loss/stop losing weight.

Do you know how many calories you are eating now? If not, you could you a calorie counting app to find your current baseline. From there you could slowly increase your daily calorie intake each week/fortnight until you stop losing weight.

If your current intake is say 800 calories, for the next week or fortnight increase to 900 or 950 calories? Monitor for loss, gain or stay the same and keep adjusting up or down until you find the balance that works for you.

If you don't want to count calories, you could try instead by increasing portion sizes a little, but restriction may hinder that, so perhaps an extra snack or two during the day instead.

Otherwise, if you are using diet products eg low fat products, instead you could try 'normal/standard' products, thus increasing your calorie intake without too much effort.

They do say that most people will put on a little weight after reaching their lowest weight, so perhaps your balance may come naturally without too much trouble on your part.

I was going to say the same thing. I intentionally went about 10 pounds below my goal so that I would be at my goal weight when I gained it back--and I did. With very little trouble, I might add.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
