to Maintainers, Bargoo! And big congratulations on your weight loss. You've come way too far to let all that hard work go to waste!! So stick around with us and we won't let that happen. This is a wonderful group of people in all stages of weight loss with one overriding goal: to keep the weight off FOR LIFE.
You're certainly not the only one who does just fine at losing the weight but struggles with maintenance -- in fact, I'm sure it's happened to every one of us here in the past (like me
). The diet world wants us to believe that all the hard work is over once we reach goal and that somehow -- magically -- the weight will just stay off. All on its own. And then we're shocked when we get to goal and find out that we can't go back to "normal" eating.
I can tell you've put a lot of thought into your maintenance plan and it sounds perfect.
But I hope you add posting here in Maintainers as another tool in your toolbox. We're all looking forward to getting to know you better.
