25F SW:195 CW:173 GW:150 (or lower!!)
Ive been tracking my calories and weight since Jan 25th and have lost 23 lbs!! I started out at a much more gentle deficit of ~1900 but have been averaging 1550-1650 a week for the last 10 weeks now. Ive been consistently losing 1lb+ per week and I’m really happy with my progress. I read a lot about taking diet breaks to eat at maintenance to preserve metabolism/more sustainable weight loss. I have about 20-30 more pounds to lose before I’m at my goal weight, and of course I want to be there as soon as possible, but keeping it off is the most important thing to me.
I’ve tried tons of diets/CICO in the past that have worked (with lots of mental anguish) but have gained it all back. This time I feel supported by my lovely fiancé, my mental health is strong, and I’m in an awesome place. I honestly don’t even want to take a break but I want to do whats best for the long term!
So should I take a break to eat at maintenance now, ever? Should I wait till I’m at my goal?
