So, Now What?

Maintenance: The Real Battle

I heard a stat that some very high percentage, something like 80%, of people that lose excess weight gain it back. Thankfully, I can't count myself on the slim side of that margin, but most people cannot.

Generally, weight loss is comparatively easy to maintenance. It's easy to have a goal and work hard to get there, but once you do, then what? Not many diet plans tell you how to maintain.

The key is all above the shoulders. You have to decide that living healthier is your plan, forever. Not calorie counting or dieting, but making healthy choices. Most of your meals will be healthy, and you will commit to working out regularly. If you do this, then the occasional party and/or bad day makes little difference, as long as you have the discipline to keep one bad day from turning into a bad week, etc.
