Nearing Pre Maintanence

[yuriyuri]

Ive only got 2 pounds untill i can officialy move into Pre M. Im just debating whether to do it at 10 pounds away or 5. I guess its up to me, but wondering at what weight did everyone move into this phase? And how was your weight loss after moving into Pre M?

Sorry Yuri, I cant answer your question as i am still some way from doing pre-maintenance, but I just want to say how happy I am for you that you are so close to your goal weight.

I remember pm's with you when you were struggling to break a stall. I'm so happy for you, well done

I can't remember exactly but it was nearer to goal (within 5 lbs). I lost the majority of my weight during OWL.

[yuriyuri]

thanks rich! That stall sure was a b##ch! I got through it, thanks to people like you, as well as the others. Dont know where id be without you guys!!

thanks again for all your support :hug
ps. youre not that far from goal either!!

I have read that a lot of people wait until closer to 5 because you need to go 5-7 lbs below your goal weight so that added water and normal adjustment does not take you back up aboce you goal weight.

Just a though..GREAT JOB THOUGH!!!

Hi I just wanted to say that you and I have been head to head for a while with the same goal. I was thinking of going into pre-maintenance 10 pounds away from my goal. But now Im rethinking it, I might wait until 5 pounds away. I dont want to loose weight even slower yet. But thats just me. I'm loosing like half a pound a week. Isnt it soooo exciting to be where we are? How tall are you?

Worldofmoz,
Oh wow, we do have the same goal, and are pretty much at a similar CW.

Im 5'4, and i too am thinking of waiting till the last 5 lbs to move into Pre M. Currently, im losing about a pound a week, though last week i was lucky and lost 2!
How long have you been in OWL, and what rung are you in now? Im on the legumes rung. Ideally, i want to experience all the rungs on OWL, before Pre M, which is going to be possible if i wait till the last 5 pounds.

I'm afraid I'm not much help either. I was doing OWL then got pregnant so I had to go to pre-maint asap.

ok

[yuriyuri]

ok

???? :confused

I started OWL about 11 weeks ago I did 2 weeks induction and lost 9 pounds then lost about 1 pound a week now I slowed down to 1/2 a pound cus I upped my carbs to 40- 45. I am in the last rung. I didnt find anything that really bothers me except milk in the beginning but now its fine.
I am also 5'4" and 1/4.
Nice talking to you. Ill be around the boards they really help a lot.

So, yuri, have you decided, or plunged into the waters of pre-maintenance?

I'm nearing that territory, I believe. I think I've probably gotten close to where my body is likely to be comfortable, and with a little toning types of exercise, things should be fine at this size.

I'm a little apprehensive to say that I'm in pre-maintenance, because I don't want it to be an excuse to indulge in things I shouldn't. It would be very easy, as the rest of my family eat whatever they want to (whether they should or not - but that's another whole story).

I wish you the best whatever decsion you make. I know you will be successful as you have been this far.

[yuriyuri]

well i fell off the wagon (as explained on another section), but im back on and ive decided to wait till the last 5 pounds. I cant wait to get there!
