Has anyone here lost a substantial amount of weight and have been able to keep it off?
I have lost about 35 lbs in the last 11 months. I did it with two separate bouts of major calorie restriction (initial 20 lbs in spring/summer, final 15 lbs in last 2 months). I'm at my goal of 165 and want to start eating normal again. Not my old normal of course, but the 2300 calories a day these calculators say someone with my weight, height, and activity level ahould need to maintin. But I'm afraid I'll gain a substantial amount back. I'm going to try reverse dieting (add 60 calories a week until I reach 2300 a day). But I have no idea if this actually works

It is time for me to get fairly serious though about losing some weight and doing it in a healthy manner. I dropped 20 pounds (that I have kept off to date), by the fact that I could barely eat for a month. I wouldn't suggest that weight loss solution.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Takes a ton of vigilance to keep it off. And I think if someone loses weight using a gimmick diet (keto, pills, severe caloric reduction, etc), it is going to be really tough to keep it off. It needs to be a holistic lifestyle change - exercise, reduced carbs, eating patterns, less junk, etc."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Because I've been counting calories, I'm much more aware of how much damage that extra cookie or donut is. One thing I know I have to improve is an increase in protein and a decrease in carbs. But I have essentially cut out any drink in my diet that isnt water. Its just not worth it.

This is my chief concern. I don't plan to stop eating the way I'm eating (Clean Simple Eats). It's actually pretty tasty, they give me the grocery lists, and I leave myself some margin for error and for splurges now and again. Icing on the cake: I spend way less money on food.

I'm down 40 lbs since October. I don't count calories, I do weigh in every day, skip breakfast every day, skip lunch more often than not, and depending on the morning weigh-in, sometimes I eat a regular dinner and sometimes I go light. On holidays or celebrations, I eat what I want and enjoy myself. Sometimes it takes a few days to get back to where I'm dropping again, but it feels sustainable to enjoy a nice meal here and there and eat a little more than is completely healthy now and then.
I'm sitting at about 225 now, hoping to get close to 200 and see how I feel. Depending on that, I may just try to stick around there +/- 5 lbs. Maybe it's not the best plan ever, but I'm going to just keep weighing in each morning, seeing where I'm at, and adjust my meals for the day accordingly.
