The "what" for me is no different than it was in the loosing phase other than adding in a few extra calories to the day and finding the balance. Does this make sense?
That makes perfect sense, Lisa. Though I'm not to my goal yet I think about the way I will need to eat when I get there. What will be my balance? I so appreciate you posting your thoughts because it helps me to know what to expect.
