    Wow, thanks for all the replies and advice! To answer the question, "why stop now?"....I just finished a VERY INTENSE weight loss challenge, and I'm ready to ease off for a little while. That doesn't mean I want to go completely crazy, I'm just looking forward to being able to eat at maintenance for awhile.

    Maintaining after an intense period of effort is a good thing (read up on "de-loading"), especially when consciously planned. Do it because you need a break, want to re-fuel and let your body re-set so you are rejuvenated to push for the next leg toward your goal. Not because of the time of year. That way you will always assure yourself you are on the right track and making your decisions for the right (healthy) reasons!

    Best wishes to you!!

    I might, but I'll try to stay under my goal anyway. I just won't sweat it if I'm a bit over... as long as I don't eat above my TDEE every day.
