I'm glad to read you,re maintaining well. Keep up your good work! 

Wow, I have been away and see you have "reached the moon". Congrats on your fantastic weight loss. Did I miss the pictures too? Hope to see the "new you". Cheers! 

1500 calories a day for maintenance? Really?? That doesn't seem like enough for you!! 

it's suppose to be 1800 but i decided on 1500 

Give a try at 1500 and see how your body responds but it seems pretty low to me too. Maintenance is a challenge, you have to find what will work for the rest of your life...  

good advice i'll try that ,thank you  

I read that your body needs 2 or 3 weeks to adapt to a new regimen. Which means that you need to take your time and don't panic if the weight fluctuates. Of course everybody is different... Good luck! One thing though, I would start around 1700 cals a day, see how I feel and then lower my intake if required. If you start too low, it might be more difficult for your body to adjust. Just my opinion, I'm not an expert! 

My wife totally agrees with you so that makes you an expert Merci docteur bon travail où puis-je envoyé le paiement 

1500 does sound very low. I agree with Jessy and your wife. Have a great day coach. 

Your chart is so impressive! Keep up the great work! Love the humor in your journals. Thanks! 

You've done so well! Thanks for the inspiration! 

You are an inspiration to me as well--keep up the good work, Coach! 

Gosh Coach, you are doing remarkable and so far below the line! Congrats on your maintenance ability. Is it harder maintaining than loosing? Keep the jokes coming :-) 

Yes it is that's why i wanted to start low ..but i realize that it has to be of a lifetime thing
