I met my goal (under 115 lbs) in April 1999. I pretty much stayed the same weight since. I kept my vow to eat right, always excerise. I walk to work....a mile and half walk uphill evey day. Going back is easy....downhill. LOL! That helps so much Yes, I eat starches now. I just watch myself. I guess I will always stay in Ketosis. I burn fat instead of carbs. You pretty much will stay that way. Your attitude should always be never looking or going back.
