Don't worry about maintenance just yet. It's another step. There's no reason why you wont be able to maintain, regardless of diet, if that's what you want.
I think your primary concern is about getting the weight off in the first place.
A diet will only work if you can do it. If you are going for the slow loss, then it needs to be a diet you're are happy with. One that feels easy to do, or you wont stick to it.
It's all pros and cons. I did it the fast way with CD. The motivation stayed because the weight went down quick. Others prefer a slower reduction, because they find the diet easy, so it's no big deal. They can manage on what they eat without it being too much of a trial...and hey, the weight goes down bit by bit while they are doing it :clap:
If you are finding the diet a PIA, and you are getting a slow loss, it's going to be tough to do long term.
So, if you want to keep with CS, you need to be looking for the positives with that way of eating to keep you going. If you can't find enough then maybe you need another diet.
BTW, why does your sidebar say you are doing WW if you are doing CS?
