I did it....

Yesterday was my 46th birthday and my 304th day of logging. It was also the day that I reached my goal of 70 lbs lost. SW 248.5 CW 178.5 GW 178.5! I'm really excited but also nervous. For those of you who have reached your GW how the transition to maintainance? I am nervous with the large jump in Calories that MFP says to now eat. Would love to hear other stories.

I still haven't figured out how to transition to maintenance. I've got to again lose the 30 lb I gained celebrating my goal.

Just increase your daily calories very slooowly (don't go gun-ho), until you reach your maintenance number. It is really a try and error ride. Eventually you will find the balance. If you keep loosing weight, add few more calories; if you gain weight, decrease your intake. Just don't get discourage, and don't go back to unhealthy eating habits, if you had any.
Congratulations on achieving your goals. Well done!

Congratulations on achieving your GW, I got to my GW a couple of months ago, the transition to maintenance seemed to have happened automatically, as I had lost body strength and decided to go onto a weight & cardio training.

Still logging all my food intake, which has increased but my weight stayed relatively stable and under my GW. My advice keep logging your food intake. Hope this helps
