    ...Why is the "maintaining weight" forum only 114 pages or so, yet the "weight loss" one over 6,000?...

    Because it hasn't existed as long. Our maintenance posts used to be in the general forum, so they are part of the 6,000.

    Also because people generally only post there if they have queries or trouble with maintenance.

    Because when you have a lot of weight to lose it can be intimidating. I always had an ultimate goal weight in mind, but mini-goals gave me something closer to focus on and celebrate throughout the process.

    For me personally, my ultimate goal is 135 lbs. But my starting weight was 330 lbs. So that's almost 200 lbs to lose. That's a very scary number. So I set 20 pound goals. But in the past I have had an eating disirder, and looking at that bug goal makes me want to go back to starving, dier pills, and laxatives.
