in Introduce Yourself
Hi, i have deleted my original mfp profile because i wanted a fresh start now that i am maintaining. I would really love to have some friends that are also in mainenance mode. It is the most importaint part of the whole weight loss i think. Im getting a bit lonely on here by myself :sad:

    You're not alone! I think motivation gets harder once you're maintaining, unless it's just me.

    you are right, it is easy to slacken off because your already there, next thing you know your weight is going up again. well not mine, took too long to get rid of it. i cant believe this thread isnt swarming with people maintaining?? i feel like im lost when i dont do my menu plan for the day and know what the calorie intake is. it keeps you from eating more calories than you need to maintain.

    I'm in maintenance (have been since December) and would welcome more maintenance friends. I use MFP as a daily planner too! I also think it's helpful and inspiring to see what other people in maintenance are doing both from a food & exercise standpoint.

    I'm maintaining too, and like you, I feel so alone somedays. I'm currently messing with the numbers to find my "sweet spot" as I entered maintenance a couple of months ago, but yet have lost 2 more pounds. I think partially I'm just scared to eat more because I've been in deficit mode for almost 2 years with the odd week off here and there.

    I'm maintaining, but I haven't been on MFP lately because it just doesn't keep my attention. Its probably because I don't have very active friends on here.

    I've been in maintenance mode for over a year now and managed to keep the weight off but MFP is my security blanket, I feel lost without it. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want

    I went into maintenance in January. I'm also still trying to find my sweet spot. I continue to lose a little bit, but very slowly, and I'm in the mid-range for a healthy weight for my height, so I'm not stressing over it . . . yet.
