What's your allowed weight fluctuation while maintaining? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been maintaining my weight for a while now but lately it's been rising so I've adjusted calories accordingly, but I'm curious what you see as an acceptable "fluctuation" when you're maintaining?

My perspective is a bit skewed. I don't want to maintain. I want to lose weight. Actually, I should rephrase that. I AM losing weight. 330 at my heaviest. 243 as of this morning. I don't have a final goal. I'm going to keep losing weight until I don't feel like a fat piece of shit.

I set little goals. I WILL hit 240. And when I hit 240, I'll aim for 230. And when I hit 230, I'll aim for 220. You see where this is headed. Eventually I'll be 0 pounds, and start becoming negative weight, where my presence becomes anti-matter, and I become a fascination to scientists around the world!!!

Actually I never thought about it. I never thought what weight I should stop at. It's not 243 though. I still have a belly.

This is a good approach which I have used in the past. But it is a good idea to pick a target because motivation is lost when the loss slows down.
