I suspect I am more worried than I need to be at the moment. I'm tall, and I am eating SO much less overall than I had been for the last three decades.


There's really no reason to be nervous as long as you are keeping a close eye on the scale and any cravings (and taking the great advice given in this thread). Tomorrow is my 9 month anniversary in maintenance and I'm still learning how to navigate it! It just takes time and trial and error.
