well Jo,i have had my moments,but with each passing week it just gets easier,and being soooooo freakin close to where i want to be just makes me stronger;) hey we've all been there,countless # of times"this is it,i am going to do this" FTS just happened to be the one time that i actually carried thru with my "this is the last time" moment!
its like Doug always says"you have to really want it & dedicate yourself to it" don't let this be another failed attempt!!!!!!!!! YOU have it in you to succeed here,but you must not let FOOD control your future.....ITS FOOD ............just food :-\

Congrats Gary....now lets talk maintenance if you wish to stay where you are. Begin slowly......very slowly. add 10 carbs back into your eating plan per week until the scale stops moving down. once you stabilize stop and see where you are in your counts. Stay within that range and keep weekly weighins until you're comfortable that you've found your personal balance point.

I suggest you always stay away from refined sugar foods and grain based foods like breads, pasta etc... You have broken the sugar addiction but it WILL come back if you eat these types of foods. , instead decide what fruits and veggies you miss the most and add one per week into the party.

I find myself very comfortable on maintenance, I enjoy Umpas low sugar baked goods and candies for sweets, an apple a week (usually takes a week to eat one) and I rarely if ever break the 20 carb per day intake point. For me breaking 20 carbs per day will make the pants get tight....been there done that...don't want to go back.  >:( Your help to the other members of this FTS family has been and I'm sure will continue to be invaluable and I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say thanks and;

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
