When did you stop feeling like you were still fat (if ever)?
Hi Maintainers! I'm not here yet for another 24lbs (God willing by Christmas!) but I figured this would be a better place to ask this rather than in the weight loss boards for a longer term perspective. When if ever did you stop feeling like you were fat/overweight/whatever term you prefer? Do you still find yourself doing…

Any insight on caloric intake?
Hey y'all. I'm at the point now where I'm ready to change my goal to "maintain" as far as my weight goes. But when I change it on here, it changes my caloric intake to 600 more calories daily. That seems REALLY high and it scares the living *kitten* out of me to eat that many more calories daily. I knew it would increase,…

Is anybody now "use" to their new body and is motivated to lose more weight?
I have lost 25 pounds (over 2 years) and am becoming "use" to this new body. I use to be on the higher end of the healthy BMI range and now I am on the lower end. I use to think I looked very good and athletic. Now I think I could lose quite a bit more weight. Anybody else feel this way?

Will this work?
I am 7-12 pounds away from maintenance. I was thinking once I hit the 9 pound weight loss, I would change my goal to maintenance and flip back and forth to losing 1/2 pound and maintaining until I find that sweet spot for eating. I tend to weigh in daily. What are your thoughts?

What are your measurements to wear size 8 (US) pants (waist, hip, largest part of thigh)?
