For those of you at goal, when did you switch from OWL to premaintenance? Just curious. I know Dr. A says to switch when you are 5 - 10 pounds from goal.
Well... here's my deal. Originally (when I started LC back in Jan. 2003), my goal was to get to 140. Well... I'm currently at about 148-149 (last week was as low as 146.5), and I'm starting to think that my goal weight should be lower than 140. I am 5'4" tall (or short, depending on how you look at it). The lowest I've ever weighed (in my adult life) is 120 when I was about 10 years younger than I am now. I'm 37 now and have had a child (who's now 2 1/2 years old), so I don't think 120 is realistic... but not really sure what is. So... how do you know when to switch to pre-maintenance?
My current thought is to get to 140 and then make the switch. I'm thinking that somewhere between 130 and 140 (*maybe* as low as 125, but I doubt it) would be a good goal. So, if I look at it like my goal is 135, then switching over at 140 would make sense, right? Or, should I make the switch when I hit 145?
Thoughts/opinions? Any insight will be much appreciated.
TIA,
