    I would also like some more maintenance friends!

    I hit my goal weight a week ago but am still eating at a deficit to lower my body fat percentage. I'm planning on slowly upping my calories from there and maybe doing a small bulk (though am nervous about this).

    I'm in maintenance now. I find it really hard to keep working out. It is so good for my body, but I now know how to keep the scale from going up, because of how much I eat so I've gotten lazy. I know that exercise is good for me, and makes me stronger. Plus it lets me eat more, so why can't I push for more? Would love some more friends in maintenance!

    I'm pretty much maintaining now. My main goals are running related and fitbit steps. I'd like to lose 3to 5 more kg when I feel ready. Would love more maintenance friends.

    I'm 3 pounds away from my goal weight of 129 at 5'6.

    I think it will be hard because 1. There are no applauses, congrats etc and 2. In my thrill of reaching the goal I tend to let myself go and sneakily eat more.

    So, having support will be nice!

    I have been at maintenance for a few days now. I have been losing fat/building muscle in stages for the last 18 months and I am eating so much now it often freaks me out and I check the batteries in my scales just in case they went mad and I have imagined the whole thing!

    Then I remember the size 26 Galliano jeans I am slipping into and feel ok again haha!!!

    Would love some more buds! Well done on that maintenance you guys. It's a lifetimes work.. I used to track everything by hand in a notebook but this makes life so much easier! I've never maintained before - either up or down. Tell a lie, I did carb addicts diet for a couple of years and starved and went into a coma every night. Fun.

    Congrats on approaching your goal! Exciting! I'm six pounds away, and already thinking about (and getting nervous about) maintenance. I cycle, do aerobic dance, hike, and am just starting back to lifting.
