No, this isn't correct. You HAVE to move up to 810 when you reach BMI25 (unless you are a starter...in which case, you can't start under 810 unless you are more than BMI25 PLus a stone).

If you have been VLCDing you can continue to do so, though it's best to be on SS+ when you get to BMI26 in preparation for 810 at BMI25.

Of course, it still stands that you can 810 at any time before then if you chose. You just don't have to

The rules have not changed in this respect and as far as I know, there are no plans to change them

The recommended way is to go to SS+ when you reach approx BMI 26, then 810 when you reach BMI 25, though you aren't breaking any 'rules' if you SS to BMI 25, then move straight to 810 at that point.

Up to you, though the SS+ stage is a good stepping stone.

As long as you are 810 or above as soon as you reach BMI 25
