Maintaining

is anyone maintaining having lost weight at a rate of 1lb per week? how hard are you finding it? im starting over and wondering whether 1lb per week is sustainable or too fast. thanks!

I lost weight at an average of about 1.5lbs a week.  Started quicker, but by the end it was  more like 0.5 - 1lb a week.  With some work and a few slips here and there I've maintained my weight for just over 3 years now so I'd say that slow and steady approach was very effective.  How much are you trying to lose? 

trying to lose about 20 pounds at a lb a week, current bmi of 24.something, so hopefully will be done by december/ january time. im finding with higher cals im not all out binging like in the past, but i am consistently eating about 2300, about 400/500 more than i should be! hopefully this will even out.

Because you're not overweight, weight-loss would naturally be a little slower than someone that is very overweight.  The advantage is that by taking your time you'll have a much better chance of ditching bad old habits, learning better new habits and developing a good healthy-eating/exercise routine.  By December/Jan you're going to be pretty consistent.   All of that makes it easier to maintain the weight-loss long-term.

Im currently loosing 1 lb per week.  I was expecting more because when I first started my journey I was loosing about 2-3 pounds a week.  Now that I'm getting alot closer to my goal weight my body is only letting go of 1 a week and I have to eat about 1450 calories to do this.  It's not bad at all.  It's been consistent for me for about 3 months now.  I haven't gained anything just loosing.
