    Congratulations! I love hearing how you took 6 months to maintain and were still able to get back on it.

    PS love the profile picture I have that print in my living room.

    Grin. I have the print in my living room, too :happy: There's just something about the light on the sand and the arch of her back that makes it my very favourite.

    thats very inspiring...now trying to pry but just curious as to whether it was natural or what not.....definitely something i can now use as inspiration.

    I didn't think you were prying at all -- I'm 100% willing to share what worked for me :flowerforyou:

    You look great!

    Even more impressive, I read through a lot of your posts and your slow approach into maintenance has been very inspiring to read. I'm hoping that you'll keep posting now that you're fully on maintenance. IMHO, the hardest part of this journey is the goal and I've yet to learn how to stay there despite successfully reaching it more times than I want to think about.

    I hope that you'll keep posting and sharing with us your experiences with maintenance. I'd especially like to hear how you deal with the "permissions" problem you've mentioned before.

    In fact, I wish that MFP would set up a separate Board just for maintenance. It would be so helpful to the maintenance "newbies" and so inspiring to those of us terrified about maintenance to keep hearing the stories of people who have successfully kept their weight off.

    Thank you--I think easing into maintenance mode was the right decision for me, and I'm convinced that slowly adding 50cals every few weeks has tricked my body into giving up those last stubborn pounds.

    Yes, we're on the page page on this: the hardest part of the journey (for me) is maintenance. This time around, though, I've got MFP as a tool and all the wonderful people here on the boards here to talk to and to absorb inspiration from :happy: I'll be sticking around, keeping my diary and contributing to "maintenance" posts, absolutely. I'm not the world's most dedicated blog writer, but you've given me food for thought (so to speak, lol) about sharing my experience with it. I have searched the boards for maintenance posts before, and there are lots of people who have kept off the weight successfully here--it's very encouraging. It would be nice to have a "home" for maintenance, though, nods.

    *headed in the direction of your maintenance blog link :smile:

    I posted a request on the Request Board for a separate Maintenance Board. I think it would help if anyone who is also interested could post a confirming reply there as well. Thanks.
