    Does MyFitnessPal really NOT give any fanfare or congratulations for achieving your weight loss goal? Fitbit said, "Goal met. Woohoo!" Nothing from MFP? MFP got me there more than my Fitbit did! Thanks, MFP! :-)
    Huh, I thought there might be a little something too. Like on Wii Fit when you reach a goal, there's a little fireworks show. Might be a good website suggestion. Reminds me of the whole Mario series. Months of work to rescue the princess and she never even acknowledges you when she's rescued. :grumble: :laugh:

    You just reminded me of how cross i was with princess peach, you should have been able to drop her in the lava.:grumble: :angry:

    In all honesty, reaching your goal is not the END; it's a new beginning.
    I've been maintaining since November of 2011 & have crept up to 3 lbs over a couple of times just for being a bit lax.
    "Oh, it won't hurt to eat that ... I'm at my goal."
    Yeah, right.
    I'm now slightly under again, but the 'battle of the bulge' won't be won 'til we're 6' under.
    So, simply reaching a certain number is just another milestone.
    Staying there is what's important.

    I think that is why you have MFP friends, they are your cheerleaders etc.

    How about this for a token of congratulations?

    I agree that it would be nice.

    I recently hit my weight goal, too, and while I got a great deal of personal satisfaction from it, it did seem odd that there were nothing but crickets following my last weight check in. As for the people on my friends list, they are mostly inactive these days. It just seemed kind of anticlimactic.

    Woooohoooo!!! You did it!!!

    I did too!! My husband also made his goal.

    We all rock!! I want to see fireworks every time I log in!!

    Determining maintenance is no simple matter, either. It's complicated trying to figure out what's the best daily calorie goal.

    I wish there was a setting that our ticker could read something like "maintaining weight for one month", then two, etc.

    It's hard not having a reward like we did with the weight loss, seeing the scale move. Now we want it to stay put. That's kind of boring.

    So, what's to motivate us? Well, I joined this month's Abs exercise group. ;)
