2 lbs from goal weight! What's next?

BrianJohnson2015

Hello fellow health nuts! I came seeking advice on where to go after reaching a goal weight?
My personal story is after years of being thin I finally figured out how over the last 6 months to put on 15 lbs of muscle mass and reach my goal weight. That's the good news! The disappointment comes from it isn't exactly what I expected it to look like and now I feel the need to re evaluate my goal and strive for more of the ideal look I want. I thought once I hit my goal I would be content and at least get some pleasure out of my achievement.
I guess my question would be how many of you out there have hit goals and feel let down or are looking to re evaluate if you should stay put or keep pushing? Should I set a new much more lofty goal for what I believe will be my new end game ideal weight or just keep making small goals and strive to knock those out and re evaluate along the way to stay motivated? Thanks for the click and please share any advice or personal stories

Well done! I hit my first goal, adjusted it down, hit that, adjusted it down and have been at that goal weight (more or less) for the last year. I am now pretty happy with how I look and feel. This means I have more or less switched to maintenance now, though I would quite like to lose another 1kg over Lent.

You might find the maintenance section on this forum helpful - lots of discussions there of this kind of question and of how to make the transition once you get to where you want to be.
