The question I have been asking myself lately is, “How do I maintain my weight loss?” Somewhere around 95% of people that have lose weight, gain it back. That’s insane. For myself, this is the best solution:
-Do not be sedentary- I know that when my husband is gone on trips is when I lose my most weight (or don’t gain it). It’s because I am the only one running after 3 young kids. There’s not time to sit down!
-Watch portion sizes- For some reason, I am always prone to eating more when my husband is home. I always tell him, “Fat and happy.”
-Remember how great it feels to have the weight off- It feels awesome to have people telling me how great I look. It feels even better to fit into great clothes without feeling like I am squeezing a sausage into them.
Whatever your reason may be to maintain your weight, know that you can do it no matter what the statistics say.
Enjoy a treat you can share with your children this week:

Awesome Anjanette!!! You look gorgeous!!! It IS hard work and you should be so proud of yourself. Keep up the good work and definitely let me know how you continue to do. I’ve been meaning to do before and after photos, but my laziness has kicked in because I must’ve hid from the camera when I was heavier. I will vow to do it next week though! You’ve inspired me!
Thanks! I had a hard time finding photos, too. You should definitely dig some out and post them. I was even more proud of my accomplishments when my husband was shocked by my “before” picture. He hadn’t remembered what I looked like then! 🙂
I don’t want to remember, girl haha.
