i'm pretty close my goal weight (yay!). someone told me that to maintain you just add an extra 100 cals a week until you reach the point where you stop losing... but how to stick at it? ive been told that this can be just as hard as losing weight in the first place! anyone out there at their goal weight already? how do you maintain it without going any lower or just piling it all back on?

    i changed my goal to lose 1/2lb a week instead of 1lb and the scale finally dropped! i'm also scared to change it to maintain so i'm going to stick with 1/2lb for a while before i do that.. i still have a few pounds i want to lose though

    I'm trying to maintain and have lost another 2 pounds. I have already gone up 300 calories. I am trying 1500 for a week and seeing what happens. I certainly do not want to gain.
