How am I still maintaining?

Hi there-

So I went from 145lbs in Jan to 135-137 lbs right now. I am 5'5.5 and medium build. Pear shaped.

I did NROLFW 2 times a week for 7-8 months and watched my portions.

For the past couple of months I have just been playing dodgeball once a week (great cardio) and doing kickboxing 1-2 times a week (KILLER workout)

I havent really been watching what I eat too much. More just moderating and trying not to be too bad. Not drinking much and TRYING to watch portions.

How on earth am I still around 137 right now? With so little effort?

I weigh myself once a week before kickboxing (there is a scale at the club)

Thanks!

Eating the right amounts has probably become natural for you. That is awesome. I would be happy. But maybe you should weigh yourself about once every week or 2 just to make sure you are on track .

thanks ya. i guess that I just dont gorge myself on food regularly anymore! (sometimes i do lol)

Yes i weigh once a week at kickboxing.... seems to always be between 135-140 which is where I am happy!

That is where I am aiming and I hope it is the same way for me. :) It is encouraging to see you successful with intuitive eating.

That's great that you can do that.  I have been on not recording calories or weigh-ins regularly and don't feel all that comfortable about it.  For me, since my will-power often leaves for holidays and takes me with it, I don't do any good on intuitive eating.  My exercising is somewhat better, because although I do not record it currently, I am doing some every day.  Anyway, congratulations for a good plan of attack on your maintenance.

Thanks! I still have my weekly pigouts. Im a sucker for sweets so thats my downfall. I just try to eat a small amount but sometimes im really bad.

I ate BAD and drank alot over thanksgiving weekend. (in canada) and was VERY surprised that when i weighed in on Tues after that long weekend I seemingly didnt gain any weight somehow!

Cool! I'm so surprised but loving every minute of it!
