Is there a maintenance section of Myfitnesspal.com? What are you supposed to do once you have reached your goal weight?

    You posted this question in the maintenance section. Have a look around here. You need to have a plan for maintaining. There are a few good threads where folks describe what they did. What I did? I kept doing what I was doing. I'd been eating a certain way. Eventually the weight loss stopped. I kept doing what I was doing.

    Others, who count calories, will suggest slowly adding calories back.

    The key is: don't consider yourself "done". It's not "over". You have to stay on top of things, and be mindful. Good luck.

    Sabine - you have been around a long time! I remember you from when I first started. Congratulations.

    The best thing you can do is keep exercising (because it's just good for you) and do a reverse diet. Check out this video on the subject: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3gTGLulLnI

    I've been doing a reverse diet and have raised my maintenance calorie level from 2000 cal/day to ~3000 cal/day. It sure makes maintaining results much easier with having a normal lifestyle.
