Ok, I’m getting close to my goal weight. So once I get there how do I maintain without losing below my goal. I’m still eating about 4 to 4 ½ oz meals. That’s all I can handle right now. Any suggestions would be great. Should I try to add a extra meal in somewhere?

I am actually in the same boat. I have 20 lbs left to go and want to make sure I don't go below my goal weight or loose too much to look sick.

Congrats on being close!!

I've found that the weightloss slows down to an almost stop anyway, so there is not really much that needs to be done or changed to maintain.

You may find if you continue how your eating, your weight loss stops. If it doesn't, and you can't eat anymore you may need a slight unfill. Congrats on being so close to goal!

Arriving at goal is half the battle, maintenance is the other half....let's face it we are all good at gaining and losing but not so experienced in maintaining. I have found that journalling also helps during the M phase. You pretty much know what you have been eating and burning to get where you are. Not making any changes in intake or exercise should result in a stable weight. Ah, but life creeps in...a little drink here, a pice of cake there, a buffey you say? All of these temptations and more will still be in your life and how you deal with them is the real work of Maintenance. It is a good idea to plan ahead for weight fluctuations and pre-decide at what number of pounds you will take redial action and just what that remedial action will be.... it is a real journey we have undertaken.

Best wishes and congratulations.
