Nearing goal wait, buuut...
As of today, I'm 4 pounds away from my goal weight. I honestly thought my body would be almost completely toned by now, that last bit of belly bulge would be gone, the thighs would be a lot smoother, less jiggle...those are my two biggest concerns. In fact, they're my only concerns. Info about me: 25 years old, 5'1", 129…

Switching to maintenance
I'm fewer than 10 pounds from my goal weight. That means I'm 25 pounds down from where I was 4 months ago (my starting weight on here was off and I never switched it)! I'm thrilled with the results I've gotten, but I'm concerned about making the switch to maintenance. I like eating, so that won't be a problem :P I think my…
