    I'll stay. For me the weight is just part of fitness. When I reach a weight goal the underlying fitness goals will still be there. Also, like many have written, continuing to log calories will help me keep the weight in line.

    Staying for sure. I'm only 7 pounds from goal weight (less whatever I lose at weigh in tomorrow morning) but today I set a new goal of maintaining goal weight when I reach it and reducing body fat to under 10%. There will always be a new goal to reach for!

    I'm staying. I've gained and lost so many times that I know if I don't track my food I won't be accountable. I'm a lifer :)

    This is me. I've pretty much been on maintenance for 3 months but put back on a few over vacation. This site will ensure that those few go away and that they don't become 20 again.

    I started MFP for my maintenance period after WW success. I need some tool to always make me aware of what I am consuming. Otherwise, I will be right back into the same place.

    Well I was 23lbs. away from my goal weight last fall (probably would have reached my goal weight slightly after Christmas/New Years this years if I had a support system). Instead I blew back up to 180lbs. and put on 37lbs. of my weight lost. So no. I NEED MFP.

    I'm still here 3 months after reaching my goal! It helps me to know when I've had enough or even if I need more calories in the day.

    I like to log my food just to see where I'm at and also love the before and after pictures posted here. MFP is just a fun site for recipes, before and afters, and I like the atmosphere here. So even though I'm not trying to lose weight I still enjoy staying.

    I'll stay. I've always thought tracking your food was a good idea, but writing it down in a notebook and adding it all up manually was a pain, so I never did it. This site is perfect, and it's accessible anywhere with internet. It's fabulous! Plus, I love the boards!

    I am one of those unfortunates that cannot keep track of my calorie count if it is not right there in front of me - same with money. If something says it is only 100 calories I am like "oooohh - i am gonna eat that 'cause I have soooo many calories left" and then 20 of those 100 calorie snacks later I have no clue how much I have eaten or that I am totally over for the day already. In other words - I am staying!! I need to be completely aware of what is going into me at all times otherwise I will lose control and be back here in a year wondering what happened!

    I started MFP for maintenance after having reached my goal weight. This helps keep me consistent.

    I am staying. We live in a nation of not just plenty. . . but excess. I think of MFP as a tool to keep it all real.
