I think this is going to vary from person to person. While you have been wildly successful with your method, I think maintainers or people with only a little to lose have so little wiggle room in calories, weight creep may genuinely catch them by surprise. It also relates to the plan someone uses. A calorie counter can give up the scale more easily than an intuitive eater, I would imagine, at least until she has to tweak her calories as she struggles to get off the last few pounds.

I think at this point, we know what we should be doing to get the weight off and to be healthy.....to say that without the scale you'd have no clue is like saying I'm completely unaware of how my eating behaviors will affect my weight.
But I love what an amazing example you are. You are proof that a person can be very successful without a scale!
