Let's try this again...

Success! After meeting my weight loss goal almost two years ago fear set in. Now what? How do I maintain what I worked 13 months to accomplish? It was overwhelming. I knew I could never go back to my old eating habits and luckily I didn't want to. No turning back for the kid! But how do I work out at the gym and not burn 1,200 calories. I had been eating and exercising all this time to lose weight. How do you eat and exercise to maintain? Gradually I added back slightly more carbs & cut back the intensity of my work outs. I was never much of a calorie counter I just made sure I had a good balance of fruits, veggies, good carbs (starches), good fat & protein. Always remember once you have made it to your weight loss goal all your planning and efforts with your "diet" much be followed with just as much if not more planning and effort to maintain the weight you worked do hard for.
