I have a question regarding losing weight vs. maintaining your weight. Now that I'm at the weight I want to be, I want to find out from you all (opinions) as to how one goes about maintaining the weight they're at. A few posts up I described what I did to drop 60 lbs. Now my question is, how do I maintain where I'm at? If I keep doing the same routine that got me to this point, won't I still lose weight? I know there's such a thing as a 'plateau'. I just haven't gotten there yet. I've been steadily dropping the lbs since February. I'm not suggesting I stop working out or doing cardio but I am curious as to what anyone's thoughts are regarding the maintaining of one's current weight.
I keep a mental list of everything I eat. This list includes every cookie, every cracker, and every pretzel. If I've eaten too much sugar, fat or salt I cut back on these the next day. My food diary has led to a collection of healthy recipes.
