So I'm on the final stretch (last 5 pounds! Woohooo!) But I was just wondering, are you guys planning on sticking around after you hit that goal weight? My plan is to switch to the 'maintain my weight' setting and stick around to support. :) What about all of you?

    I figure it's going to take a while to sort out maintanence...that parts harder than the losing.

    Definitely, because I need to log for maintenance once I am satisfied with my weight loss.

    With the amount of weight I need to lose, I'm here for the long haul. When the day does come that I reach my goal weight, I will also switch my setting because I have no plans to leave this website because of all the friends I have made & the great support that I have received. I want to be a person who can say "been there, done that" to the newest members on this site & help them, just like everyone has helped me.

    I am planning on staying for the long haul. I may be a long while getting to where I want, but when I get there I am going to stay here and help pay it forward because of all the help that has been given me :)

    If I can help one person like I have been helped...then I have done well!

    I plan on staying so I can keep on track. I believe that if I leave I will go back to the same bad habits.

    Yup, I can't see me going anywhere. It's nearly a year since I reached my goal weight (or near enough to satisfy me) and I'm still here and logging. Maintenance isn't easy and I find MFP really helpful to keep me focussed on what I need to do to stay at a healthy weight - not that I've been really successful at that, I've put 5kg back on - but its going down again now - thanks to MFP!

    Yes I plan on staying around! I've got 17 more pounds to go, but the thing that MFP has done for me is helped me keep myself accountable and if I stop MFP I'll likely go back to my old habits and end up right where I started. This site reminds me every day I log in, where I started, what I've done to get where I am now, and has been one of the best things online I've ever been apart of to better myself. This is my selfish place, this is my me time. I will never give it up, and if for whatever reason MFP goes down for good one day, lord forbid! I'm sure I can find another place to do the samething but honestly MFP has helped so many people and I honestly like it here.

    I will stick around until I start playing the lottery and eventually win, then I'll just have my own personal nutritionist and chef to do all of it for me, the only thing I would have to worry about is exercise, I would still have to do that myself...maybe.

    I've been here once before and hit my goal weight..........then I left. I didn't stick with all the things I'd learned here and gained a lot of it back as I reverted back to my old habits. I'm trying to make it lifestyle change now. So I plan on staying to encourage and to have some form of accountability that will help me maintain this lifestyle. Plus.........it's fun as hell here;)

    Yes, because I anticipate maintaining will be more difficult than losing :/
