    Find new fitness goals to reach! Faster races. . . more weights. . .etc. Not to lose more weight, but to help keep it off!! That, and I've enjoyed buying new clothes.

    I want to continue to stay healthy ... Enjoy an occasional spike ... Continue to log meals ... Continue to exercise ... Decrease my diabetes medication.

    I'm gonna strip off in public and do a sexy dance to show off my lush body *jiggles* okay, not really, I don't want to be arrested. I just plan to buy more girlier clothes and be confident and happy in them instead of feeling like everyone is judging me! :D

    Go into maintenance mode and make some new life goals. I plan to start getting serious about crossing things off my bucket list.

    Increase my calories gradually and continue to log my food. I anticipate I will log my food for the rest of my life--it's the only way to keep myself honest and keep myself from sliding back into bad habits. I do not want to regain this weight ever again.

    Finding the right calorie level will take a month or two, I figure.

    Also, I plan to sign up for a half-ironman and buy a new bike!

    I've almost hit my goal. I may reset it, depending on what my stomach looks like. My doctors are happy with where I am. But my plan is simply to continue as I am. Eating good, fresh food. Mostly organic. No processed food. Very little sugar. It's a lifestyle, not a diet.

    Since I don't count calories, that will not change. I expect to eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. It's all quite simple.

    I will continue to log my food and exercise becauseI plan to never have to lose weight again. Also plan to go to the beach without a cover-up!

    Yup, this! Goals to be able to do X push ups or squat X pounds or be X BF% or get your 5k time down to X. You might also find at maintenance that you want to lose 5 more lbs, or maybe gain 5 lbs.

    ETA that I upped my calories slowly from around the 1600-1700 I ate during most of my weight loss, to 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100. I have kinda sorta been on maintenance for about 6 months, during which time I have lost 10 lbs :wink:

    Swing dance lessons with the hubs! He agreed last night, and also agreed to start lifting with me when I'm ready.

    buy and wear a bikini which I haven't done since a I was a little kid. Okay my mom bought the bikini and I was probably 5 at the time. Haven't worn one even when I was at a good weight. Once I am toned and can show some muscles then I will be ready!

    Take my shirt off and flex in the faces of bystanders. And possibly get arrested.

    It could happen very soon for me--I'm one pound away! Can't say I have any big plans. My weight loss success has been based on making positive food and exercise choices that I like rather than denying myself, so I don't have a lot of pent-up demand for things I've been missing. I will try to push past my goal by a few pounds so that my goal weight becomes a ceiling and I can feel less constrained about eating and drinking when I go out. I will relax my calorie goals and eat a bit more than I have. Maybe buy some clothes. But the satisfaction of making my goal and significantly reducing my mortality risk is reward enough.

    To figure out how to maintain the weight loss since that always seems to be the part I'm missing.

    I'm hoping once I hit my goal weight I'll keep doing what I'm doing so I dont let myself go again. I also want to buy a new outfit :)

    I'm getting a half sleeve on my right arm.

    And I'll have to stay healthy so it doesn't get stretched out. :)

    I'm going to change my goals to maintenance and enjoy have like 500 more calories per day. I also will continue to select workouts that tone and build muscle, aiming to lose inches on my belly without losing more weight.

    PS- I already hit my goal weight twice, and both times I reset my goals to lose more weight. I never thought I'd be where I am today. My GW is set at 132 right now, and I weigh 135. It has been much slower getting those last few pounds off, but really, maybe I am just where I am supposed to be. It is tempting though to put 128 as my GW just so I can have the satisfaction of being in the 120's. Have to see what I'll do when I get to 132.

    I'm just going to keep on doing what I'm doing now--probably just increase the amount slightly (hopefully, I will be doing enough resistance training, by that time, to spur my appetite a bit). :smile:

    I was thinking that once I hit goal, I might buy a new (to me) car.
    But I am way too sensible for that. I will finally start buying decent clothes instead of cheap interim stuff.

    I can't wait to start eating at maintenance. And I don't think my gym habit will go away - I miss it when I don't go. I might let things slide a little more, allow myself cakes or biscuits more often, but with regular weigh ins, I will make sure it never goes back to how it was.

    Oh, and I promised the bf that when I look good in a bikini, we will be going somewhere hot!

    I really wanted to get a tattoo to show my journey in some way but since my husband absolutely hates tattoo's on women I'm thinking he will be buying me some jewelry!!!

    Otherwise the main thing I plan to do it tell the world and share and help as many people succeed too as I possibly can!!!

    Once I hit my first big goal I will set the next one with some more weight loss.
    I also hope to one day get my tummy tuck done, my vertical c-sections had left my tummy looking pretty rough before extra wt gain and loss.
    I will also have my goal of working out and increasing what I am able to do.

    Go bikini shopping, and attack my bucket list!! I have lots of active things on there I want to do but currently am unable to do because of my lack of strength and endurance.
    My goal weight is more whatever weight I am after getting some serious gym time. I'm looking to get to 130, but would be fine at a higher weight if I was stronger. :smile:

    ETA: Get my back tattooed. hahaha I want my whole back done. Probably won't be able to afford it till much later though...
