It is tough! I've been maintaining for two years now ( I did CD ) and have found it very difficult. I was over 15 stone in 2011 and an currently 8 stone 7 ish. I keep with four or five lbs of this as a rule.
I have a wardrobe absolutely rammed with size 10s. There is no bigger motivator !

What do you do to maintain? Do u follow a particular eating plan/exercise routine?
Hello Goose. Well I've done various things but what works is as follows ..
Three meals a day - I don't snack
No bread or pasta ( I stick rigidly to this during the week and have what I fancy at weekends )
Strict Monday to Friday - see above re weekends
And right now I follow zoe harcombe principles. It's not about fat - that's fine to eat. The really bad guy is sugar and carbs so I try and keep those low
I'm getting married next week so I'm being as strict as possible to stay at my usual 9 and a half ( ish )
Oh and anther tip is to take action whilst you're still within 10 lbs or so of your target weight - never ignore it until you've stacked back on two stone
How are you getting on

Thanks so much for the reply, yes i am little familiar with the harcome plan as i researched it and was either going to follow thst plan or LT... Obviously ended up doing LT!! I think theres as much work if not more work involved in maintaining weight.... I deffo agree with the principles of harcome but i couldn't remember why i didnt end up going for it. I think it
Might have been too meat based for me, having said that i think i only read about phase one. At the moment im swaying towards 5:2 as fasting a part of my normal way of life in the sense i have to fast for a month once a year n i dont find it too hard, i like the idea of having some time off like weekends where u can enjoy what you want as life's too short n ud end up going mad and falling of th wagon!!
Congrats on the wedding!!! How are u feeling??

Thanks Tam honey
Wow impressive Greta. You really seem to have a handle on the maintaining lark. Massive congrats for next week. How exciting and im sure you'll look fab!!
Good luck with the 5:2 diet Goose. Nice to be able to enjoy food
Restart Week 1
Sooo. Weiged in this morning. I am currently 10st 7lbs which is approx 7lbs gain i think over the last 3 weeks. I thought it would have been worse. My chemist have kindly allowed me to return to shakes for about 1 month.
I expect to get to 9st 7lbs. Its much to the dissapointment of my boyfriend who is counting down the days till im finished
I am on day 2. Im a biteen hungry, but roll on ketosis.
Hope ive got the willpower for it. Eeeeeek.

Ooh well done - 10st 5 is amazing. Another week or so and you'll be there! In the 9s.
Yes am looking forward! Of course, having bought my dress and a shed load of new make up and perfume I'm now thinking I need more! Even though I own all the make up in the world. Can't beat a bit of therapy though!
