A poll for successful losers - how many calories do you maintain with?
Doug Lerner wrote:
This is a poll (suggested by another person) aimed at successful weight
losers who have lost a LOT of weight (gone from obese to normal weight) and
who have maintained that weight loss for a reasonable amount of time.
1. What plan did you follow?
I followed the WW plan
2. How many calories per day are you maintaining your weight on?
I maintain on 1400-1600 depending on how much exercise I do
3. What is your age, sex, height and before and after weights?
1984 - 41, female, 5'3" 155/130
1996 - 53, still female, 5'3" 177/135 (I quit smoking this
year and gained weight)
4. Any additional comments about what made you successful.
I've found I have a much easier time maintaining when I don't
slack off on the exercise. Biking is my favorite but I also include
weight training, walking/jogging on treadmill, exercise videos, etc.
Journaling becomes very important when I find myself with a few extra
pounds to lose.
I'll summarize the results for everybody!
Thanks!
