I don’t plan to change a thing. I don’t think I’ll lose weight until I disappear, and I’m sure I’ll slack off from time to time. That’s what the scale (and tight fitting jeans) are for. I actually met goal today (BMI = 25), but I’m still chubbier than I’d like, so I’ll keep going, until I don’t lose anymore. Realistically, I eat way too much and too heavy to get really skinny, but another 20 pounds would be okay.

Easier to lose no doubt. Of course, that is the reason I am trying to gradually merge into maintenance. .-= South Beach Steve´s last blog ..Time For The Perfect 10 Check-In =-.

Great advice! I have to know that some foods aren't possible for me to enjoy in moderation. Sad but true, I will always have to fight my food addiction! Thanks for the great advice! I'm gonna have to come back when I get down to my goal. .-= Mackattack (Beth)´s last blog ..Friday, lovely Friday! =-.

You’ve captured it exactly! I haven’t found maintenance super tough, mainly because I’ve pretty much stuck to what I was doing before I got there. I get a few more splurges now, but I generally use them for healthier foods. Not counting Christmas, of course. But now it’s back to the usual fare.

Unfortunately I haven't been at this point yet but I will remember it for once I get there because I'm sure I will! .-= Fran´s last blog ..A day in my life: Friday January 8th 2010 =-.

Those are truly great tips Diane! I really love that weight maintenance isn’t magical or mystical, because that means that I can do it too! It’s not luck, it is consistency, vigilance, and perseverence. That, I can manage

I think it's important to adapt a diet plan that you can maitain for your entire life WHILE you are losing weight, so that when you are in maintenance mode, you don't see yourself having to make big changes in your diet. .-= Tony´s last blog ..Again and Again =-.

I'm excited to get to the maintenance stage of my weight loss journey. This time I'm going to do it right. You were right when you said that one Oreo turns into many. And the weight comes back on way faster than it came off! .-= Carla´s last blog ..First weigh-in =-.

Great tips! I think it is easier for me to maintain. The reason why I gained weight in the first place was since I was so used to eating so many calories for nursing, that I just continued on that track. I was always hungry. I was at the same weight for a long time before that. I'm hoping that once I get back into eating smaller portions like I did for years, then I can maintain. I hope. .-= Stacy´s last blog ..A new personal best…2.5 days =-.
