Jo, looking at your determination and success in losing the weight, I KNOW you can maintain too! Don't doubt yourself, you've got all the tools in place to succeed. I think maintenance is mostly an issue of not really changing your diet so much. There is never any going "back" to even a shadow of how you ate before. You can eat a few more "forbiddens" but not much. And you probably will need to weigh yourself to see how things affect you, and learn what you can and cannot eat without gains. I know for myself, I will have to be vigilant every single day because my inclination is to want bad stuff (i.e. sugar).
