    I think you have to keep on top of maintenance else it's to easy to forget what you are doing and leave the healthy living behind. That way you run the risk (as I did) of getting sloppy and putting the weight back on... So keep weighing yourself and keep tracking what you are eating.

    Just shifting to maintenance, and totally agree, it's so hard making up the calories, especially if I've had a big exercise day and have earnt even more. And it would be so easy to just go 'mmm, cake' to make up the calories. I'm just going to try having larger portions of healthy food, and if I'm under some days, then I won't feel guilty if I go out for a meal with the family etc and go over on another day. It all evens out. Have accepted that my weight will fluctuate a bit, and I intend to keep up with the scales and the calorie counting, just to make sure that I'm not slipping back into my old habits. It's been easy for me to lose weight over the summer, but when I go back to uni in September, there's going to be less time for exercise and more study-related eating, and I don't want the whole thing to repeat itself again! Apart from the fact I think I have an addictive personality, and I'd find life without calorie counting a little empty (I know that sounds entirely mad, but it's just so organised and a part of the routine and I quite like it!) x

    im at my goal, and i dont count calories anymore, but i do kind of know the rough amount of calories in things, and i still watch what i eat, and exercise, but its quite laid back and i dont mind fluctuating by a lb or two here and there
