Hey guys - I'm at a strange place of being SO close to my goal. Right now I'm a whopping 3-4 pounds from my goal weight of 120. On one hand, since I'm so close, it makes it easy to slack. What's really the difference of a few pounds? On the other hand, I'm fighting the urge to go psycho work out and make the goal get here faster.

Anyone else here with me? Or have been? I could use some rationalization of what you've done/are doing, or what you would do in my shoes. Never thought about mindset when it comes to getting close!

    One day at a time, is how you have to look at this. I can relate a bit, we share the same goal weight and I am longing to be able to start maintenance. But none of this is in our time. You are making changes for the better, remind yourself of that and take it one day at time.

    I am 5lb from goal, and have been since before Thanksgiving. I gave myself a break over the holidays, deciding maintaining was good enough, but I need to finish...I would love some suggestions!!
