Has kept me from asking many redundant questions). Was looking for your thoughts on coffee and found this. Again thank you for your honesty both past and present. I was cruising along at a healthy weight loss pace and stumbled over Thanksgiving and fell into mindless eating and haven't crawled out of it yet. I'm doing a half a**ed job of keeping track of my points but that doesn't slow down the food shovel! I'm going to take the weekend to plan out the meals and make a weeks worth of lunch soups. Like you said, it starts NOW! Roni- I used the search engine within your site(love it by the way! Has kept me from asking many redundant questions).

I believe that--based on my personal experience. I'm 42, struggled with gaining and losing since I was a teenager, been an official WW member since 1992, but not always active with it. I'm weighing in monthly these days under goal and am approaching maintenance the same as I have always approached losing--slightly obsessive, goal driven approach--and it's working for me. I've decided that even if it means that I have to write down everything I eat for the rest of my life I will do it if that's what it takes for me to maintain a healthy weight. So, like you Roni, when I feel those old habits sneaking in, I resolve to keep "the devil" at bay best I can, taking it one day at a time! Reading and commenting on the Weight Watchen blogs has helped me immensely to not feel alone in the struggle--thanks to everyone for sharing their stories and thoughts!

All this time I thought the "devil himself" lived in the Creme Brulee Ben & Jerry's containers. Now that I know he's in the Cinnamon Bun containers I feel a sigh of relief. <br/>So, does that mean I can keep eating the Creme Brulee?! Hmm... (just kidding)<br/><br/>Jenn<br/>Jennscookin Whew!

When it's more then mental problems holding them back. I also feel for them. <br/><br/>Maintenance, for me, is still a different kind of hard then the weight loss it's self. Only because I don't have that goal. It's really one of the reasons I continue to blog. (besides the fact I LOVE meeting so many cool people online!)<br/><br/>Thanks for the great conversation!

Maintenance, for me, is still a different kind of hard then the weight loss it’s self. Only because I don’t have that goal. It’s really one of the reasons I continue to blog. (besides the fact I LOVE meeting so many cool people online!)

Thanks for the great conversation!

The “science” (I think) only holds true if one has already lost – because they have figured out how to do it for their body.

So, if they figured out the science to lose – they have a scientific shot at maintaining – it is doable (chemically).

I'm right there with you although I've only been maintaining for like 2 months, I think I got comfortable once I hit goal and stopped focusing on the fact that I still want to lose more. Readig this posts really hits home and I'm right there with you! <br/>Thanks again for being such a constant inspiration. Thanks for sharing this.

Your inspiration just inspires me even more!<br/><br/>Vickie - For me (and this is my personal opinion on the topic based on my personality) weight loss is a different mind set. You are working towards something. There is a measurable, attainable goal to reach. I am a very goal orientated person so after a I reached that goal there was almost a let down. Don't get me wrong I was happy I reached it and I felt great! But part of me was like, ok, now what do I do? It's not so much the physical differences more the mental that I struggle with. <br/>AND argue away! Please, I mean if you can't share your opinion then why blog, KWIM? I love haring everyones opinions, that's how we learn and grow. <br/><br/>McBunni - You know I never did becuase I didn't work out, but I should start now I think. Thanks for the reminder!
