I don't count calories or carbs. (Don't even track them anymore) I do weigh regularly and if I see that the scale is trending upward, I cut back on the higher carb veggies and fruits and/or reduce my portions a bit.

This is my second trip to goal. I knew that my body could get to and maintain this weight with little effort. So this time around I mostly ate what I would eat at maintenance and let my body get there in it's own sweet time.

The difference this time around in maintaining is that I'm no longer delusional about my body's ability to handle just a little of "off plan" foods.

I would go back to tracking my intake if I needed to but I know I could never stick to a ridiculously low calorie intake, just because I can't deal with being hungry.......makes me want to eat every piece of crap food in sight.

I probably average 2500-3000 calories a day right now, maybe more since I haven't tracked anything in months. It seems to be working OK and keeping me within 3 pounds of goal.
