Thanks Ginlin 
... I'm already at the bottom end of my target range lol (I had 1.5lbs to target and lost 4.5 at WI last week - go figure).
I tend to be a bit of a stickler and never come off plan - partly because I find now that there are so many things I can no longer eat as they make me feel ill and partly because the 'bad' stuff just doesn't taste good to me anymore. While I was losing weight I never had a week where I gained (and only 1 week where I stayed the same), so I know that what I'm used to eating is highly unlikely to keep me stable weight wise, but it's knowing how MUCH to add (and feeling comfortable doing it!).
I'm thinking I'm going to just stick with my 'normal' eating (I do Red days), plus a bit of extra fruit/yoghurt etc, this week and see how I go, then from next week go with a food diary, myfitnessapp and a few weeks of experimenting SW stylee, measuring and weighing until I can work out how many calories I roughly need to maintain. Once I've done that then I should be able to stick to SW while keeping a weather eye on calories (which is more or less what I've been doing anyway while losing).
I'm planning on still going to WI weekly as it keeps me focused - I'm not that worried about having to pay if I go out of target range, but as a lifelong compulsive overeater I feel like I need the 'reminder' of group to stop me sliding back into bad habits if that makes sense?
Does that sound like a good plan? This is nerve wracking!!
