Have you been a Yo-Yo dieter. Change now!
I'm 54 years of age, and always had a weight problem through my life. I have lost considerable amounts of weight (over 10-13 stones) four times in my life time, and lots of other diets where I've lost 2/3 stones, and gained every pound back on.

Question for you other maintainers
Ok, so I've been maintaining for a few months now and really haven't seen much of a difference on the scale from week to week (that's the point of maintaining, right?).

What does Maintainence have to be so d@mn hard!
I've lost 100lbs! Cool right? But this whole maintenance thing is so difficult. I find myself doing more of a "cut and bulk" rather than staying at one even level.
