I’ve been around since the old weekly check-in threads, and I remember when 175 felt like a locked door. Started at 270, got down to 220 before meds, set a goal of 170–175, and now I’ve been floating between 159 and 155 for a couple months.
The strange part is I don’t feel done; I feel like someone moved the furniture and didn’t tell me where the walls are. I’m not chasing a number for its own sake, but I also don’t want to drift just because maintenance sounds vague.
For those who blew past their original goal: did you pick a new range, park where you landed, or go by something non-scale like how stairs feel? I’m leaning toward giving myself a 5-pound maintenance band and revisiting in eight weeks, but I’d like to hear how others made that call.
