I am honored to have been asked to help moderate this board. I may not be here as often as some of you, but I'll try to make my comments worth reading! As some of you know, I'm on maintenance right now. I will have my 4th WI on Saturday, and two weeks from then will receive my Lifetime status! ;D So I'm not incredibly experienced at this maintenance process, but I've been a WWer for 22 months, and know a thing or two I can share. Those of you who are more experienced at maintenance and Lifetime, even if you have regained and are working it off again, please feel free to add your experience and wisdom. It's late now, and I have an early day tomorrow (and every day), so I'll leave it at that. I'll see what sounds good to start with tomorrow. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Hello. Its nice to see this board up I'll drop in from time to time. I'm still somewhat of a newbie maintainer (online-only so never official lifetime). I've been actively trying to maintain since around September. I'm always looking for good tips/advice on what works (and what doesn't).

Smilyus---Please feel free to contribute to our discussion. You have been maintaining for months longer than we have! I believe that all of us who make this journey successfully to goal, and particularly those of us who maintain our weight, have different things to contribute to each other. We will only benefit from a diverse range of experiences! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I'm happy to see this board get started. Having been on Lifetime for all of 3 weeks I can use all the help I can get. So far I have not been doing things any differently than I was all last year. I have not added back any of the extra WPA's. And I am down 5 or 6 pounds from my goal weight. Which is ok - I chose a goal weight at the very top of my weight range with the idea that I would continue to lose a bit more. I just can't imagine that I would ever get to a point where I don't want to keep losing. I expect that my body will sort of self-regulate. I think we are all guinea pigs here since we are the first to maintain on the Core plan.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Mooooooonie!
I'm SO glad to see you here! I can't wait to learn from you, to hear what you have to say about maintainance. You've got a terrific, no-nonsense, reality-based approach to this that is SO refreshing!
So....ramble away.....I, for one, am eager to read whatever you care to share!
