I suppose I'm lucky enough that if I eat right (at a high carb level) i.e. no chocolate, ice cream, cookies, sugars etc, I can maintain my weight with moderate excercise.

It's when I start to eat all the wrong foods that the pounds begin to stack on. I just have to stay away from them once I get to my goal. If I can stay off all carbs I can surely stay off 1/2 of them.

But no, this is not and never will be a WOL for me - I love carbs too much, and if you deprive yourself if the simple pleasures in life you will eventually deprive yourself of all pleasure.
