My body was so used to eating 30 SmartPoints a day.  I had a schedule.  I liked my schedule and I really didn't want to deviate from it.  But when I moved to Maintenance mode and had to start eating more SmartPoints, my body wasn't so happy.  I lost weight the first week I was trying to maintain simply because I couldn't keep feeding my body the SmartPoints I was used to.  Hitting that daily goal was much more difficult than I realized it might be. As awesome as it is to have 6 extra SmartPoints a day,  I didn't want to spend them eating junk or crap just because I thought I needed to use them up.  Yes, I did that first week, but then I felt guilty the following week.  So I changed my tune.  I basically stopped tracking unless I needed to look something up.  I haven't diligently tracked almost the entire time I have been maintaining, and I am still maintaining my weight loss.   It just didn't feel necessary to me to track if I knew I wasn't going to hit that daily target.  I don't recommend this unless you are able to maintain your weight without tracking.  (I also weigh myself every day - gasp - so I know if I am above or below my goal weight well ahead of my official weigh in day).
