    Congratulations!!! It's a wonderful feeling achieving such a personal and tough goal, isn't it?

    I agree it's hard work in maintenance BUT I've also found that it's more forgiving than I'd expected. If I go over for one day, or even a week, I know (a) it probably won't make any difference anyway, and (b) if I need to, I can get it off again with a few weeks of focus.

    Good for you! Yes, I think you're right that maintenance is going to be equally hard work. Keep going!

    Congratulation!! It is a great group here at MFP. Good luck on maintenance, I should be there in the next month or so as I am 6 pounds or so away from it.

    New goals are also helpful in maintaining weight! You could try a new sport or a new hobby or introduce one small change to your current diet. I have found having small goals (i.e. I'll drink a glass of water before each meal or I'll do 5 more reps of that one exercise I struggle with) helps to keep you in the right head space! Congratulations!

    I have also reached my goal weight - just had 14 lbs to lose which I did in 9 weeks. Now maintaining at 3 lb under my Goal Weight of 125 lb. Seems strange not trying to lose weight and adjusting to eating more (healthy) food as I don't want to lose any more. Congratulations to the other people who have recently started maintenance
