Maintain weight on MFP

I anticipate hitting my target weight within the next week. YES!! I would love to hear from some people who are using the site to maintain their weight, so I can get an idea if it's working well for them. I really don't want to lose any more, but I certainly don't want to gain it back either. If I change my settings to "maintain", I'm just wondering how well the built in numbers work for that purpose.

Thank you.

    They have a calculator on fat2fitradio.com that asks your age, starting weight, goal weight etc. and calculates the calories to hit the target weight.

    I entered my age, starting weight (current weight) goal weight (current weight) and it calculated 2497 calories to maintain that weight, with a qualifying statement about metabolic rate affecting the number and adjust up or down as necessary etc.

    When I reach my target weight, I plan to continue tracking my meals and eating on this site... I think it is invaluable to have the database available on the I Phone to find out nutriitonal information on foods when dining out, or preparing meals at home.
