Would love to hear from someone on maintenance how it has been to keep the weight off. Have they changed their calorie intake without gaining the weight back or do they still need to watch their calorie intake as carefully? Thanks!

    I have been at maintenance for a while now165-170 lbs usually weighing in at 167 but I recently weighed 164. I could probably weigh less and be healthy but like my current weight. I do watch what I eat and try for equal to or less than my daily numbers depending on how much I workout. If I do not watch what I eat I go up about 8-13 lbs.

    I'm on maintenance. I've relaxed a bit but I still watch fairly closely. I find that I can fluctuate 3-5 lbs during a month due to hormones and bloating. (Rather annoying... I wasn't aware of this problem before)

    I'm actually not there yet either, I just know from experience that the weight loss is the easy part and keeping it off is the harder part (for me, anyway). Thought I'd try to get some good advice before I get there myself. I have a feeling that I am just going to have to monitor myself carefully for the rest of my life!
