I vote for a maintenance thread, too! I realized that once I hit 112, then went back up to 113, I had probably hit my "goal" and will maintain between 110 and 114. Does that even make sense?

Totally makes sense. That's a "red line zone" and I plan to make mine about the same, i.e. must stay between about 112 and 115, hovering ideally around 113.
Edited to add that I just started a maintenance thread for us.
Oh come onnn. This morning the scale bounced between 129.85 and 130.1.
I loathe the scale bounce. For me, it will usually set on the lower number when it does that, then I will get off, check a second time right away just to be sure and it jumps up to the higher end of the number. I hate it when it does that.
I have been absent for a couple of weeks, maybe more actually. I think I was about 1.5 lbs away from goal when I did my usual self sabotage and went on a week long binge eat (eating somewhat healthy some days and then pigging out on mass amounts of junk at night), I didn't get on here because....well who wants to get on here while they feel like they are failing miserably?! I was in my binge whirlpool and to be honest, I wasn't ready to come out. Anyway, I got back on track which is the main thing....I'm such an all or nothing type person, I'm either ridiculously god or ridiculously bad, I must find a balance. Well I just weighed myself (almost midnight my time) and I was at goal! Well plus 2 ounces.....125.2! It's the end of the day and I've eaten all my meals and a couple of healthy snacks and drank a whole lot, so I'm sure that tomorrow I will be passed goal. I'm so surprised, I actually did it, I finally did it!
Btw Krampus, I love your new pic, the last time I was on here you had the one of you with your hoodie up and I could see you had a cute face, but this picture I can really see you now (hair and close up) and you are so pretty!

txalupaI have to say that at your height, you must look pretty slamming at 125, 126, etc. When I started this journey, I was around 126.5 and I am only 4'11. I am thinking we will be seeing each other more on the maintenance thread? I would love to be under 110 but I think at my age and height I will be content with maintaining between 110 - 115. I would kill for your 6 inches, lol! Seriously, do not be too hard on yourself. I am certain you look incredible!

Thank you, you are so sweet! Yes, I'm hoping to be maintaining soon!! I think I also will need to tune into my body wants to be instead of steering the ship here.
Also, I could give you 3 inches and we can meet in the middle!

Finally made it!!! Its been a hard last two weeks for me, I didnt get on at all last week but TOM made my weight lose stop completly. UGH!!! :<
But here I am!!! :3
Weighed in at 128.0 yesterday morning, it made me really happy.
I have to lose 3 more pounds by next Tuesday but I dont think it will happen.
Still keeping my hopes up, because I am in a weight loss comp for $$$ (which will alll go towards the concert tickets I want)
So here I am, glad to join you girls here, feels great, havent been here (120's) since I was a junior in hs!
