Hi all,

I have reached maintenance once and now that I am nearly reached my new goal I am almost at it again. If I set a new one after this it will be related to body fat percentage rather than weight.

I am keen to connect with others who are close to or have achieved maintenance. I think this is an important stage particularly as it is one to keep for life.

As far as I can see many who achieve goal disappear after posting less and less. It is sad as I feel many could benefit from sharing in this process.

I have noticed with me that I am less interested in the forum these days and I have noticed that I manage really well with my eating if I stay away from the journals of those who cheat quite frequently (and many on this forum seem to do that! ). Maybe that is why the maintainers end up going too. I would be interested in other peoples perspectives on this phenomenon.
