My weight settled here, and the maintenance part is quieter

I landed at 172 lbs this spring after a long slow stretch from 238. Since then, my weeks look pretty plain: Greek yogurt and berries before work, a packed chicken-and-rice lunch, a 25-minute walk at lunch, and two strength sessions.

The scale isn't the boss; my weekly average and how my waistband sits are. If the average climbs more than 3 lbs over two weeks, I go back to logging dinners for a bit. That's it. No big ceremony.

Curious what small signal tells you it's time to tighten things up again?
