Once I reach my ultimate goal weight, I will probably make gradual changes over the period of several months to make sure things 'stabilize'. I figure I will have to eat more in order to go from losing to maintenance, but I'll want to be careful that I don't gain back. I will probably count calories for the rest of my life, even at my goal weight, to make sure that I don't go back into old habits. I stopped counting over the holidays and I gained 4 lbs. And the thing is - I didn't even go crazy gorging over the holidays. That weight gain is just my day to day effect of unaccountability. I will also continue to work out because I like it now. I probably won't work out every day like I am now, but will make it a point to work out 4 times a week minimum.

Oh, and I'm gonig to take a nice long 'active' vacation, like visit macchu picchu or something like that.

I'll slightly increase my daily calories to maintenance, but other than that I don't plan on changing anything.
