 The random number I picked for my goal weight is quickly approaching with 9 or 10 pounds to go. Im currently down to a size 6. Should I just consider myself at goal or keep going because I can?  
I dont think Im ready to stop.....but maybe thats because Ive been in the "lose, lose, lose" mind set for so long now. 
Its all so confusing and wonderful....

Well, they seemed to welcome me here, we're both 6 months out.  I have 20 pounds to lose, which is more than you have to lose.  No one has told me to go home yet.

I've grown confortable here.  I think you should stay.  Welcome to the maint board!

Congrats how wonderful that you have tone so far. I just had surgery the 18th so I love hearing stories like you
I would say whatever makes you feel comfortable. Your the best judge of your body. Sara

 Thanks and congratulations on your surgery! Im not sure Im the best judge of my body these days. I still look in the mirror and see big ol me. If I have to squeeze into a tight spot, I often misjudge the distance and think I need to turn sideways to fit....when in reality I can just walk right through the spot. Its weird how the brain is slow to see what is actually there. :)

Welcome! Glad to have you here!

Maintenance can be pretty easy at first but I am finding now that I am 2 years out, it's
getting trickier.

Welcome!  You don't have to be at goal to be here.  I found that the main forum is pretty much for newbies and all the learning that goes with pre-op and post-op issues.  This forum is about the hard part....maintaining. 

I came on board a little early too, because I knew I would need all the help I can get to make this a lifelong success. 

This is a wonderful group.  Enjoy!

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Looks like you're getting mighty close to being in the century club too!
