Its interesting aswell that once U hit maintainence U need to focus on a new goal. I had been maintinaing my weight for 7 months and I decided to quit smoking, my new goal. That is going awesome however I have put on about 8 pounds. Now of course because I added resistance traing a couple weeks after I quit smoking some of that is muscle and I know the rest will come off in time. Maintainence is a journey as is life.
