Glad to hear from you. Hope your sweetie's knee surgery goes well and a speedy recovery. Also Congrats on all of the wonderful events in your life. Down 5# and the birth of the babies. Max will have fun with his new cousins as they all grow up.
Have a wonderful weekend

From WW Community Page:
Why do you think you'll have a hard time maintaining? I actually find it much easier than losing -- you can eat more.
All maintenance is, is the plan with more food. You need to watch your portions, like you did while losing, monitor your weight, and take care of very small gains before they become large ones. That's the overview -- the details are up to you. But here is what I suggest:
1. Treat reaching goal as the first milepost in a lifelong journey. You are by no means finishing; you're just beginning.
2. Add back points like WW tells you to, and be PATIENT. You will gain a little, but if you stick with it, you should stabilize, see-saw, perhaps lose some, and find a good points level for yourself.
3. Realize that we don't stay the same weight. We CAN'T. Our bodies go through shifts in fluid retention, varying amounts of waste in the gut . . . I weigh every day, and I go up and down w/in about a 4 lb range. It's totally normal.
4. Set yourself a weight "range" once you get to goal: mine, for example, is 130 - 134. Weigh anywhere in that range, you are FINE. Go above the top weight for more than a day or two -- I call this the "red line" weight -- and you cut your food back a bit until you're under red-line again.
Looked at this way -- as a balancing act -- it's really not bad at all. It becomes very routine. The biggest part, I think, is the total acceptance of the fact that you can't go back to your old ways -- and that you do have to monitor your food and weight the rest of your life, one way or another.
You can do this -- the only thing in the way right now is a mental block, and preconceived fears. :-) They're nothing: just paper tigers.
