    I'm pretty sure I'll be here long after hitting goal to maintain my weight loss and to create some new goals and really change the way I use the site to really become myFITNESSpal.

    Also would like to be able to continue supporting existing and new friends who are on the weight loss/fitness journey :)

    I'm at "maintenance" and for me, tracking now is just as important as when I was losing weight. Nothing has really changed from weight loss to maintenance other than I get to eat a bit more. But tracking, exercising, and being accountable are the only way to keep from gaining the weight back.

    So for me, there is no end.... just a new chapter!

    I will continue to log on if only for the calorie counting alone to help with maintenance.

    I think that fitness and health is a on going progress. Once one goal is reached, another is waiting to be set. When I reach my weight goal then I'm going to focus more on toning up and less on cardio. But even if I somehow become 100% happy with my health and fitness I think I'll keep my account to motivate and encourage others who are at the beginning of their journey.

    I think I will continue using it to maintain. Only once I am completely confident that I'll be able to eat healthy and maintain my weight I will decide if I keep using it.

    Just wondering... what will you do once you have reached your goal ? do you delete the app ? do you log off for good ? i wonder what happens if and when everyone eventually hits their ideal look and weight ?!

    I might just disappear when the jobs done i think ?

    I hit my goal and stayed on in MFP as my friends haven't hit theirs and used it as a way of maintaining it. I failed on both counts and here I am,trying to get those last 10 lbs back. MFP should be a habit and a remainder of how good health is so important..and also, to be there for others.

    I just hit my goal. I'm going to continue to log my food every day. Last time I hit my goal and thought I could just wing it. I gained the weight back. I'm really bad at estimating how much I eat.

    i reached goal weight late last fall, thought i could maintain myself at that point and continue to improve fitness on my own.
    i was wrong.
    mfp is so much more than just monitoring calories for me.

    I'm not leaving. I have to be realistic: for the rest of my life, I'll have to be careful with my eating and remain accountable. That is the reality of my life...

    My relationship with food has always been a difficult one, its like being an addict, but unlike alcoholics and drink, food isnt somthing I can give up. Logging my food helps me to stay in control! Im a long way off goal and when I get there this will not be a journey Ill want to complete again. For me, logging will be a way of life but this app makes it easy to do and doesnt impact on my day at all - so Im here for the long run - to maintenance and beyond!!

    I will stay on the site maintain, As they say don't forget where u come from! Plus I want to encourage others who will join after me to let them know if i can do it so can they!

    ^THIS

    Eventually (months?, years?) when I have success maintaining I will wean myself off of the daily logging, but I doubt I ever completely delete my account. I plan on having babies someday and I KNOW I will need the help again to get that extra weight off.

    First thing will be to be where LuLu is! :happy:

    Then I will definitely use MFP to maintain.

    I'm going to eat an entire pizza, and maybe a chili cheese burger too and then wash it down with an oreo shake from Sonic. Then I will probably puke. Then I will continue to log what I eat and make sure that if I ever go up 5 lbs I immediately work to bring it right back down.

    Hit my goal and made a new one, then hit my goal and made a new one. :) I will stay here for maintaining also.. Otherwise I am afraid those pounds might slowly creep back on me.. ACK!!

    This is not temporary. I will always have MFP, I will always track my food and exercise. It is not a journey for me but a lifestyle.
