Hi Tasha....

The maintenance club is pretty slow, but there are a few good threads over there....

Since I reached 140 in June 2002, I have maintained my weight very easily. In fact, I lost a few more and now hover in the 135 range through no effort of my own. I just don't like all that carby garbage anymore, and that's how I frame it to other people who ask me "why I'm still on a diet when I'm skinny?" It also helps that I've never had a sweet tooth

I certainly don't count carbs anymore, and I even (the horrors!) eat bread sometimes and fruit quite a bit. But I stay pretty in tune with my body and the reactions I have in eating each new item (both in terms to immediate insulin reaction and later cravings). Pita bread is a new one my body takes pretty well...and I have just found out that it is strangely very low on the GI index. Which is great for gyro sandwiches on the run...yum!

Good luck!
