Hi fellows!
My name is Ksenia. I am 27. I would like to join your cordial community to continue my bumpy journey to harmonic body and soul. It's a pity, I have found this site too late meaning I've already lost most of undesirable pounds. However, it turned out that maintaning a healthy weight is even more of a struggle than shedding it. In fact, now, when I seemingly (visually at least )reached my goal, I am even more consumed by frustration and anxiety how to not to gain my obnoxious pounds back.

P.S.I am Russian, and have learned English comparatively not long ago, so forgive me my mistakes.
 
Russia... very cool... i never got a chance to go while i was in europe...

here are my stats:

height: 5'3"
one week ago: 205.0
current weight: 200.0
goal weight: 145.0

i will be your buddy if you like!
 
Hiya Ksenia! I'm in about the same boat - very close to goal weight, and struggling with the transition from losing to maintaining.
 
Hi allyphoe,
Glad to see you here. Don't you think that maintaining a healthy weight is even more of a challenge than losing it? I mean what daily routines should be continued which ones could be slackened ? Here one important factor comes to light, namely, how fast one has lost pounds because if it has been a slow process, than many of precious habits should have been already incorporated into a daily routine without experiencing drastic changes.
However, it is not what happened to me. I have started my last attempt after numerous failures stretching out for years without much failth in its success. In fact, at first I didn't do anything more than just lifting some weights (for some reason I did only cardio before). When Iit quite suprisingly yielded results, I went over my diet and introduced some mild changes. With time exercise routine as well as food choices became more and more strict, and now I just cannot relax devoured my anxiety (which wasn't part of me at the beginning because I was quite imperturbable at that time preparing myself, in fact, for yet another failure) to lose my achievements (it happened to me before so many times).
 
It's a different challenge, at least. I do agree that losing fairly fast makes for a tough transition, although in all honesty, I think it's transition in general that's the problem for me.

There's also the "losing is limited by time; you get to maintain forever" mentality issue.
