I've maintained my goal weight for the better part of 2 years, but that's not by accident. Maintaining weight takes thought and planning, just like losing weight. One of the tricks that I use is what I call my High Water Mark. I weigh myself every Monday, and if my weight two weeks in a row is 5 pounds over my normal weight, then I know it's time to take action.
Do I need to start tracking my food again? Do I need to change my exercise routine? It's a good chance for me to take stock and either try something new or correct if I've gotten off course. By having a High Water Mark, I'm able to do something before the healthy train goes totally off the rails.
Does your High Water Mark have to be a weight? Of course not! Everyone's different. It could be a favorite pair of jeans or your 1-mile run time. As long as it's something that signals you to get back on track, it will work. Set your personal High Water Mark and maintain your own results!
