How will you maintain your goal weight?

[NewLeaf]

So many of us can confess, this is not our first effort in losing weight, and perhaps not the first time we've lost a few pounds.

I know that personally I want this to be the last time I go through a struggle with weight loss that is THIS large. I can handle 1 or 2lbs, not 30. So I am curious, how do you anticipate maintaining your goal weight when you reach it?

I personally intend on, having changed my habits and lifestyle. So that I'm not binging, or emotionally eating, or eating when I am bored. I intend to keep exercise a major part of my life and my family's. I also intend to weigh-in once a week, to keep myself in check. Since I think.. simliar to others that struggle with "addictions" or what not.. its going to be necessary to keep me in balance.

I would love to hear other people's methods, ideas, thoughts on this topic!!

its definately a daily struggle! but if you want to keep the body you worked so hard to get, you HAVE to maintain the changed habits you learned while losing the weight in the first place. for instance, still only 1 cheat day a week or 1 cheat day every 2 weeks. plus i'm sure everyone knows you must do at least 30 min of cardio 5 days a week to maintain. plus the water is for life! thats my plan anyway. trying my darndest to stick to it!
