No , I am not at my goal weight just yet! But, my partner is and now I needs tips on how to help her maintain her weight loss. She wants to remain sugar free.

So, bring on all your tips!

Weigh every morning.

Use My Fitness Pal.

Walk or exercise at at least five days a week.

Don't buy junk food and bring it home.

See a therapist about any serious food or stress issues.

Throw away all your big clothes.

Develop and invest in hobbies, avocations, passions that feed your soul and burn calories.

Stop postponing your life. Do it now.

Eat nutritious food. Your body deserves it.

@@VSGAnn2014 - What a great list! That's WLS in a nutshell!

Thank you ann!

Good wise what did you start to add to your diet to stop losing? She is at the point where she is ready to halt the loss

I simply continued doing what I have been doing since surgery....and it improves all the time with discoveries of new and different healthy foods...

For me, it has always been about a new lifestyle, change in what and how I eat brought upon me by surgery....I have never had a diet mentalit, there is no such thing as maintenance, etc, etc.

5+ years now and I live every day just like any other day.

But that's the way it is for me, many people here have different attitudes towards this.

And the longer you are out from reaching goal... the more important this one thing has become for me... do NOT let denial sneak in. Whatever your method of accountability is - for me it is the scale - don't ignore it because you have over indulged. You start to forget that you ARE different than the people around you and you can't do what others do and maintain a healthy weight.

Its alot easier to stop the scale from creeping up than to have to relose. It is alot easier to relose 10# than 25 etc.....

Thank you all! Extremely helpful and I can't wait until I am ready to put all of these suggestions into practice for myself !!
