Well, it's been three years since I reached my goal of 129.9lbs, a 25lb weight loss of which I've maintained. Actually, I deliberately gained back 10lbs after a little while. Why? Because the 129.9lbs made me look too thin. I look and feel better at 140.5bs. I fluctuate up and down between 5lbs and that's more than okay. I'm still in the healthy range for my age and height (frame) and that's what's important. I can truly say that I'm maintaining a healthy weight for me.
Being naturally slim, the key for me is caloric intake. I stay within budget by drinking plenty of water, cutting extra fat, reducing sodium and sugar (this stuff is everywhere) in my diet. I continue to weigh and measure my foods and adhere to portion controls. When I get a craving for something tasty and full of all the good but not so good for you stuff, I make a healthy version of it instead. I also allow myself the occasional full fat, full flavor, salty, sweet, crunchy, smothered in gravy treat. There's no "No" in my diet, it's more like not this time. ;)
