Now that I'm done, at 155...what now?
I've been working out 30-45 minutes, five days a week, and lifting
weights three times a week. I've been eating on average 1,450 to 1,550
calories per day, and dropped 65
pounds.
For the past little bit I've been having issues losing...until last week when the last five suddenly came off (TOM...sorry if that's TMI). Not sure if I wasn't eating ENOUGH for the way I was working out since we cut sugar out of our
diet (and I wasn't counting the sugar intake before in my daily
calories, for some reason), or if that's my maintenance level.
All the research I've done this morning has told me that at my age (27) and my height (5-9), and activity level (moderate at 30 min. per day, 3-5 days per week), I need 2,365
calories a day (or thereabouts) to maintain my weight....
What have those of you who have reached
goal done at this point? Should I just add an extra 100
calories, then maintain that
goal a week or two and see what happens? Work out less at my current total?
