Thanks Robin! I started in November on maintaining after losing 35 pounds in around 35 weeks. I view diet as a lifestyle now rather than a plan. I don't count calories as much, but know now about how much my intake is. I weigh myself regularly and see the 2 to 3 pound fluctuations, but don't get too alarmed. The key to me is to regular exercise. I walked 5 times a week for 3 to 5 miles either on the beach or neigborhood. Now that it is winter, I don't do that, and frankly find it hard to do stationary or indoor walking. Walking to me is more than exercise, but a time to get away, reflect, and take a mental break away from the daily stresses and schedule. I started to weight lift again a bit after my tennis elbow wouldn't go away. It has actually helped some. Thanks again for sharing your ideas and thoughts and wish you all the best.0

So glad it helped--congrats on all you have accomplished!! I'm w/you...definitely need that time to go outside, reflect on things...so important. I do get outside every day, but can't really count it as exercise in the winter months either. Thankfully I have learned to love weights and things like that to keep me motivated. But definitely can't wait for spring!0 -
just want to say thanks.
I have reached my goal as of this morning and i want to start maintaining but it seems really scary as in the past time = weight gain.
this was far and away the most useful post I've found so far. thanks0 -
