        Well if you look at the first post, I am back where I was again.

        I have started getting serious about my weight again. I was 109.8kg (241.56 lbs) on April 17. Today I am 107.3kg (236.06 lbs). Short term goal is 100kg (220 lbs) by July 4.
        Long term goal has always been 90kg (198 lbs).

          I usually get a lot of grief for this but - whatever

          I'm at the most I've ever weighed at 153 pounds as of 4 weeks ago. (I know I know, go eat a sandwich, right? )

          haven't weighed myself since then.

          I've been 130's for the last 5 years.

          I'd like to stay around 145-150.
          I'm starting a new martial arts program once a month (cause that all the time I will actually have) and doing constant work outs at home at least 3 times a week :

          day 1 - pull ups, dips, push ups, lunges and then free weights (curls, shoulder raises, etc.)
          day 2 - 10 minute ab work out, followed by back work outs (from when i took a 12 foot fall, )
          day 3 - 1 miles walk/jog , 5 x 25 yard sprints, half a mile jog and half a mile walk to cool down.

          on alternate days I do forms, heavy bag work outs, full circuit Kung Fu work outs, body conditioning (punching a bag full of beads, punching brick walls, , heavy bag with out gloves, heavy bag kicks, etc)

          I've trained in Wing Chun kung fu (everybody wing chun tonight never gets old.) for about 2 years now.
          I've found a new teacher (see above about starting new) my old teacher was a piece of work.

          any other Ideas on how to stay at this weight/lose a little ?
          or gain muscle(replace muscle with fat?)

            You did it once, you'll do it again.

              You likely need to find out where your current body fat percentage is. Ideal is not normally based on the scale - but based on body fat percent. Then if you want muscle - start working that goal - eat loads of protein and other muscle building things.

                Thanks, I'll look into it and see what I can find out

                  I've had a fairly successful 16 months.

                  Jan 2018 - 210 lbs - starting eating fewer calories, but still ate nearly any kind of food
                  April 20 - 170 lbs - finished with weight loss - now to maintain
                  June 25 - 175 lbs 22% BF - joined Farrel's Gym - HIIT program (6 days a week, kickboxing MWF, strength training TTHSat)
                  Aug 31 - 170 lbs 15% BF - end of 10 week program at Farrel's - joined as a yearly member
                  April 30, 2019 - 168 lbs 13.5%

                  I've gotten as low as 11% body fat over the last year - but vacations I always spurge, so I rise... After the last month between vacation and other stressors, I'm happy to be at 13.5%

                  I still have a goal of having a visible six pack, but I have to get to 9% or less BF - I have the muscles, they are just hiding 😉

                                Awesome! that's all I did for my entire weight loss situation. I added exercise later only because I wanted my muscle pain to go away, and more flexibility.. staying active keeps you from getting hurt just walking. LOL

                                  I added some "exercise" but I want to stress that it is mostly "reducing sedentary state" rather than "exercising."

                                    Without restricting myself to some insane low calorie count that is not realistically sustainable, I could not lose weight even slowly with my lifestyle.

                                    I eat healthier now than I ever have.

                                    I have added ~1 hour morning and evening of walking on the treadmill at a pace enough to raise my heart-rate decently. I am hoping tha twill be enough of a difference.

                                      Without restricting myself to some insane low calorie count that is not realistically sustainable, I could not lose weight even slowly with my lifestyle.

                                      I eat healthier now than I ever have.

                                      I have added ~1 hour morning and evening of walking on the treadmill at a pace enough to raise my heart-rate decently. I am hoping tha twill be enough of a difference.

                                      I don't understand what's unrealistic about a lower calorie count? Clearly I did it - and Scott has done it. Does it mean learning to eat less? yep - does it mean retraining your body on how much food you really need to live - again, yep.

                                      Something I learned after joining the gym - drinking water really helps be less hungry. Being fully hydrated leads to eating less. When on program (i.e. not being lazy) I drink around 100 oz of water a day.

                                        Why are you assuming I have a high calorie count now? I never said that. In fact, I implied the opposite when I stated :

                                          I'm just watching calories and am currently down 25lbs.

                                          Awesome! that's all I did for my entire weight loss situation. I added exercise later only because I wanted my muscle pain to go away, and more flexibility.. staying active keeps you from getting hurt just walking. LOL

                                          I added some "exercise" but I want to stress that it is mostly "reducing sedentary state" rather than "exercising."

                                          Something I learned after joining the gym - drinking water really helps be less hungry. Being fully hydrated leads to eating less. When on program (i.e. not being lazy) I drink around 100 oz of water a day.

                                          Because when the calorie intake you are used to quickly drops, your body reacts defensively and only causes more problems, even if not immediately noticible.

                                          Also, a low calorie intake is very bad and as JB said, not realistically sustainable.

                                            Yes, dehydration makes you feel hungry when you don't need the calories. I watch for that carefully. But before then my sinuses and eyes don't feel good, so I tend to stay hydrated.
