I’ve worked out at all of those times. I’ve gone through periods where I work out in the morning, when I work out during the day, in the evening, and both before and after eating. It’s usually better to workout before eating though, since you can eat recovery foods afterwards. It’s more a matter of figuring out what works for your schedule.

You probably get a zillion questions a day, but when did you work out? In the morning, night? Before you ate, after? That is the only thing I’m stuck on right now. I have the eating portion down, just not the exercise. Keep up the good work. You will live alot long because of what you have accomplished.

I now have 28 months of maintaining my goal weight, and it is still work every single day.

Exercise is good….but less food is still where it’s at.

The maintainence is easier if the way you lost the weight was done correctly. If you diet and exercise correctly and slowly lose the weight it takes longer for it to pack back on. Gimmick diets and other tricks are only temparary solutions to weight loss. Usually I suggest that you exercise at least 3 days a week for 45 minutes to maintain.

I’m struggling with the same thing–weight gain through grief. I was a bit overweight when my mum died and went up to almost 200. Now I’m 175 and stuck.

Best of luck–grief is a tough thing to deal with.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who answered my question regarding maintenance. You’ve given me much to think about and continued hope for this journey in the vein of ‘knowledge is power’. Cheers and best wishes.

Oh my gosh! I just wrote such a similar post to this on my blog, if you substitute four children for a book deal, of course. ;)
