How tal are you? I'm trying to figure out a goal weight, and I'm unsure how to do it! I am SO PROUD of you for re-conquering your goal weight- it's amazing, but I'm wondering how you set it. My initial goal weight was just the highest weight for my BMI, and I made that after my break up about 10 days ago, but now I'm not Emily in Wonderlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122201207831118701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-78279977907367208782015-12-03T16:14:27.087-05:002015-12-03T16:14:27.087-05:00Congratulations and reaching the maintenance phase...Congratulations and reaching the maintenance phase! I have about 15 more pounds to go to get there and I can't wait. It's been hard for me to know exactly what to eat (and how much) to lose the weight I need to lose and then keep it off.

I like that idea! My only concern is that I would let my weight get out of control since I know I wouldn't have to weigh-in. I think I'll try posting weekly for a while, but if it causes me too much anxiety, then I'll try bi-weekly or once a month.

You could just weigh yourself, write down the date and your weight, and then post it once a month to show that "hey, it fluctuates, but I'm still within my target range".
