At goal weight - where's the ticker tape???

kloquinn

OK, I just entered my weight today and I'm 0.2# less than what I have my goal weight set as. I was expecting some big fanfare from this website to say hey, congrats, you reached your goal weight, now here's how to maintain. Nothin. Bummer! Do I change my settings now?

Haha, I know, it just keeps saying you have lost whatever. Allow me

Huzzah! *tape* *tape* *tape*

Congratulations on reaching your goal!!! Nope, no major roadmap to maintaining on mfp but there are lots of great people here who are so helpful and supportive.

Join the Maintenance Group and then post under the maintenance thread!

Well done! Congratulations! Amazing!

(You're right, there should be a fanfare)

TARA!

You're supposed to put it in Success Stories so that actual people can congratulate you. Being congratulated by a computer program seems a bit sad.

Out comes the Marching Band to celebrate!!!! Awesome job! I was hoping for a fun message too, now I know not to get my hopes up.

MummyOfSeven

HURRAH!!!! Well done :flowerforyou:

It *would* be nice if there was some kind of acknowledgement.

SarahE1092

YAY!!!! CONGRATS! It must be so exciting!
To answer your question, if you click in the tools tab, you can change your ticker and goals that way.

GREAT JOB!

That is disappointing. We'll throw the parade for you.

CONGRATS! :drinker:

I LOVE a parade!!! I'm joining you with the confetti- reached my last .4 pounds this AM also

I agree- there *seems* to be little info on MAINTENANCE-


I crossed the FINISH LINE once already- then fell FLAT on my face, and got back in the race.
Fortunately I discovered WHY....
I'd been on 1200 calories, got to my goal, and then turned to MFP to calculate my maintenance calories of 1600- and soon discovered my old, ravenous appetite reared its *ugly head* once again, and I put 10 pounds BACK ON very quickly.
This second time around a friend advised me to TIPTOE across the finish line this time.....
WHICH IS HARD TO DO WHEN YOU SEE IT IN YOUR SIGHTS...so tempting to want to RUN FULL SPEED (which is what I did the first time)

it was explained to me like this: My body needed to SLOWLY get used to INcreasing my calorie consumption...so THIS TIME, I've kept it at .5 lb/ week for the last few months,
and increased my calories by 50/100 more over a 2 wk period, till I was @ the 1600.

So, I've now lost that LAST 10 lbs and did it the *better* way- and my appetite is in check (mostly)...the emotional issues will be a battle I'll always face- but THAT'S another story.........

Ignore this one.


Oh frabjous day, calloo, callay!

I have the right to state my opinion, thank you very much. Now look, you're congratulating the OP even though you apparently think they should be satisfied by interacting with a computer program.

DeeDeeLHF

I felt the same way. My friends who I had met on here were my parade and cheerleaders! I do consider it a "flaw" for MFP that there isn't more attention given to meeting your goals and then maintaining.

I wish there were tickers for maintenance and I wish there was something for the feedback column...

Today mine would read...."DeeDeeLHF has reached her goal and maintained her weight for 440 days."

You will have to pat yourself of the back and relish in the great feeling.

As others have said, CONGRATULATIONS!!! :drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: and join a Maintenance group.

Lighten up, Elizabeth, and stop calling people sad. I don't think the thread was all that serious, do you?
