 If the scale ever gets close to 150 THAT is my DO SOMETHING motivation.  Time to lose 10 pounds!!!!!

I’d say 5 – 10 pounds.  When my clothes seem a little tight I know it’s time to cut back on the food and add in more exercise.

I normally fluctuate around 3 lbs depending on what time of the month it is or if I ate salty food or too many carbs. Other than that, I didn't even gain over the holidays.

Weigh too many!

[gidgetgh]

I'm still fairly new to the maintaining after losing all my weight, several months. 

I keep it to 1 to 1 1/2 over. I weigh every day and write it down. If it gets to 1 pound or so over, I tighten it up again. I'm very strict about my eating. 

I'm currently 3 1/2 pounds under my goal weight so my husband and I might head to the Mexican restaurant for lunch.

Well after losing 55 lbs doing weight watchers I don't have a choice LOL to stay on track weighing in every week does that. If you slide up more than 2 lbs you have to start paying again

Well I weigh myself once a week but the scale never changes! Maybe it's broken.

I like to stay within 5 pounds of my usual weight.  I can gain so easily.  

i can go 10 pounds before I can feel my pants gettting tight.   I try to  up it in the bud before it gets to that point

Sweets  are my downfall

I can gain five pounds just during the day, depending what I eat and drink, the amount of salt, etc. So, I don't pay much attention to five pounds, but I never let it go higher than five b/c I cannot stand ever to be on a "diet." As soon as I think about going on a diet, I automatically gain weight. Just the thought of depriving myself makes me extremely hungry.

Instead of a "diet," I call it going on just very healthy foods w/o depriving myself of any of them. That usually takes care of that.
