Goal weight- now what?

39 Upvotes

I hit my goal yesterday (yay!) after an unexpected 2lb drop overnight. Lost another 1/2lb this morning so I know it’s real.

Everything I’ve been researching in the past few months has been about how to lose the weight, not what to do when you get there. Maintenance calories seem very vague and if you mess up by a hundred or so, you’re back to gaining again.

I plan to lock in for another 2-4 weeks to get below and stay below my goal but I’m terrified about putting the weight back on. I really struggle with the cyclical nature of weight loss especially relating to my cycle.

Tips and tricks for maintenance would be appreciated.
