ok, so when ive finally lost 'all' this weight...

[Evesmama]

how to i 'stay the same'????????
cos if i keep doing what im doing, surely i keep loosing? and if i bring back the chips n choccys then ill return to being my old fat knacker self again?????so is there a majic tablet you get "when" you get there to reward you for all your hard work??

Approx 2000 cals a day for weight maintenance I think. Any more and you'll put on weight, less and you'll lose.

so i have to calorie count then?, im not doing that now?

My dh lost 6 stone last year with Weight Watchers, and reached his goal weight ... well below actually!

We've been very impressed with their maintenance programme in terms of finding the level which creates that balance for you. He is still pretty obsessive about counting points, weighing-in, and so on, but that's just because he is determined that he's not going to put it back on.

We have totally changed our eating patterns though, and we just don't have rubbish in the house any more.

yeah, i realise now that although im not currently counting anything, i am aware of what im putting into my bod than before(mostly ready brek and alpen these days!)
and hopefully my stomache will start shrinking so my appetite wont be as huge as it used to be(fingers crossed)

IIRC you were sort of doing SW Evesmama? I believe with SW you choose two extra Healthy Extra B choices once you have reached target, if you start to put on you cut back to one extra, if you are still losing I suppose you add another one.

oh yes, i remember that bit now
that seems easier to me, so if im having jacket spud, i can have cheese and ham as a healthy extra(as example)..aha, so might not be as complicated as i thought.

thankyou hun

Yes think that's how it would work.

evesmama, how are you doing?

I have thought about this, what I will do when I get there but i am at weightwatchers so I am hoping they will help me. Seems a good way off atm though

roisin, well dont to your dh 6 stone, wow

i know hun, miles away for me just yet, but was just wondering?..dp said that when we get were we want to be, our appetites will have changed dramatically anyway, so we'll be eating less and will be able to adjust easier??
