I am really close to getting to my goal and am wondering if others (who are there as well) would like to create a maintenance challenge. I think it would be helpful for me to have a group to check in with about the challenges and joys of maintaining our weight. Anyone interested? I know several folks over at the AFC are super close.

Hi, Cynthia! Just browsing around and I'm glad I found this! I am 3 lbs. from goal (at least I was last week... ). WI is Wed. for me, I'll see where I am at then. Whenever I do make goal, I would love to join the maintenance challenge because as you know, it terrifies me. Any advice from maintainers out there in Kippyland would be great! So count me in and I'll be speaking to you over at the AFC, and hopefully here, in the near future!

Wonderful. I know you are both really close to goal. At WI today I am .6 lb away from goal. I was hoping to make but of course my body had other plans. Did lose a pound though!
Is there anyone else we can recruit...maybe SueLee?

WOW -- congrats -- .6!!!! Oh, to be there some day ... and a pound loss is great. I can't even believe I'm in company with people who are close to goal...it was such a long journey and to think - it never ends!...even at lifetime... ;D cant' wait to be on maintenance forever.
Did you mention anything about this maintenance challenge on the AFC thread?

No I haven't. But I suppose we could talk it up a bit. I don't want to detract from the AFC.
You will be there so soon. Just 5.4 (right?) to go. We are all cheering you on!

There are some regular maintainers on the CPTE board, too. Like Rita, ShirlLG and Monica and others. . . . Mikey57 is a new maintainer, and I know ther are others, just not coming to mind.

CPTE board?
Everyone is invited. If they don't see us maybe we can send out private messages and let them know about the challenge.

I know I know! "Core Plan Tip Exchange"! ;D I hardly go over to the WW site anymore...I like to lurk at the Core board but don't participate... no time at work really, and there are only basic Core question threads...very few nice discussions and some of the OT threads...well, too much info for me sometimes. I love Kippy's! Yeah "only" 5.4 for the AFC challenge and 3 to goal. Thanks for the cheers. I picked 7 lbs. for the AFC... even though goal is 3 lbs. away, I figured maintenance might occur during the AFC & I would try to lose a little more...as you can see I really don't know what I'm doing!

Can I join you? I am at my WW goal, even though my personal goal is to be 5-10 pounds lighter. I don't want to take away from the AFC challenge, either, but this could be a place where we talk about the ongoing struggles of maintenance. Sometimes I feel like I am using that "last five pounds" as an excuse to keep the right amount of tension in my eating habits, even though I don't really care how long it takes to lose them.
My main objective is to maintain a healthy weight for the rest of my life and to keep working on things like regular exercise, portion control, and mindless eating. Those things don't magically change just because we reach goal, unfortunately!

Coco - I feel just as you do...except I'm not at goal but once I get there, I know I am going to need support from others who are maintaining ... yes, this is for the rest of my life!

Maybe we don't want to make this a challenge since we have such wonderful challenges going at the Challenge board. Maybe we can just make this a check-in thread where we all work on staying at goal together.
XOXO of course you can join us. The more the merrier!
I can feel that goal right around the corner. I peaked at the scale today and I was only .2 away from goal. Ehhhh I am so excited to finally be here..... again. My WI in on Monday so I have to wait a few more days to make it official.

Call it a Maintenance Circle, instead of Maintenance Challenge? We could have a QOTD (or QOTW) . . . . .

Maintenance Circle it is. We can always create challenges for ourselves later.
QOTD? Huh? I don't know any of these short hands....help
Oh I get it....Question of the Day....See I am smarter than the average bear.
