I'm no expert in weight loss, having never attempted it, but it seems to me that losing weight has got to be harder than maintaining a constant weight. After all, you have to burn off more calories than you take in to lose weight, but to maintain you only have to burn off as many as you bring in.

So if you are able now to maintain your current weight, whatever it is, then if you take the magic pill, you should still be able to maintain your weight. It will just be a new weight you are maintaining.
