Gauging Weight Loss..Maintenance..Etc.
posted on 8/21/12 9:49 am

How do I gauge my weight loss or maintenance?

I do not get on the scale like I use to. I do occasionally check though.

For me, I have some a couple pairs of pants that I use. I know if the pants get too tight. I am “fluffy”. If they are loose and I can wear them with a crease, then I am on point. Today, I can fit in my pants so I am feeling pretty good.

How do you monitor your weight loss and/ or maintenance?

I do it the same way-I've been in maintenance for over 2 years now....I know if my jeans are comfy or snug....I only weigh at the first of the month now...so if I'm up a few, I have a month to correct it. If I'm the same, then I'm good to go! I really don't have to "diet"...I eat what I want within reason (I am generally a very nutritional eater anyway) so I don't stress if I need a few Oreos every now and then. Besides, if I overindulge, I just run more. Maintenance is much harder and requires way more diligence that the losing year did!
