I'm maintaining, will be four years this August. I too drift up over my line in the sand, 169, top number for a healthy BMI for me, but not much. My thighs still look heavy but nothing else, still fit in smaller clothes. Staying on this board, having a Local LC support group, Reading, reading reading LC and Paleo research! keeps me focused on my health improvements. Seasonal allergies, eczema, arthritis, etc all cured..why would I go back to eating wheat and sugar which obviously (now! In my 60s, slow learner!) caused these things?

I noticed we are the same height, age??, Bone structure?? (I have a heavy one) but maintaining 147 would be a constant struggle for me. We all have to find that healthy weight for our stage in life, amount of muscle and exercise, and maintain that...not a number we were in college. Just wondered if that is part of your question?
