Congratulations on reaching goal. You must be so excited!
In the past month or so, I also thought about changing my final goal given I'm figuring out now that the goal I originally set really just moves me a few pounds under being overweight (if you believe BMI). But, it has not been easy for me to lose the weight. It has taken me 37 weeks to lose 30 pounds (I am currently 4 pounds from goal). So, I have decided to continue to work hard to lose the last four pounds and move into maintenance. I'll probably try to go under my goal weight (within the 5 pound range) so it might just work out for me given I was only looking to change my goal weight to lose 5 more pounds.
If you feel you really want to lose 10 more pounds, than maybe you should change your goal. What's great about JC is we have these choices.
Good luck and again, congratulations.

Congrats on hitting goal...very happy for you! I hit my goal of 119 back in January. I am now at 114. I have to stay at 114 now because of the cash back program I am on. How do you feel now? How are your clothes fitting? Are you happy in the skin you are now in? Are you on the cash back program?

Congrats on making goal ljn! I made goal but then lowered my goal weight to get the last "vanity" pounds off 
It's definitely hard to do so, your body may be comfortable at your current weight - that's what I'm going thru right now. It's hard but I'm going to keep working at it. Good luck to you!

YAY!!! Doing the happy dance for you!!! (sorry, I just now saw this)
I made goal back at the end of April, and I am maintaining. I do want to lose 10 to 15 more, but I am having surgery on my hand on Friday, and I thought it would be easier to just keep it between the lines for the summer (since my exercise will be curtailed for a couple of weeks).
I also want to see if this is a good weight for me to maintain. Being at a lower weight might not work for me in terms of keeping it off.
LOVE, JILL

Jill,
I'm sure you'll be able to lose the 10-15 lbs if you put your mind to it, you know this program in and out. You are an inspiration to many including myself! But you raised a good point. I've been a JC'er since '05 and have just recently decided to lower my weight some more. It is very difficult to see little losses every week, ounces instead of pounds but I'm hanging in there. Since it's this hard at this point, I'm wondering too if I won't be able to maintain my lowered weight once I get there. I think my body is comfortable at my current weight and it seems to be saying "what are you doing to me?"...I guess I'll be able to answer this once I get there. If it becomes too hard to maintain, I might have to gain a little to stay where I can be comfortable...
