How do you know when you're starting "maitenance"?

So I have met goal ... I'm almost at my 1 year surgiversary ... I'm good with where I am ... ( VERY good :) )

So how do I know if I'm "done" ?

I asked the doc .. and he said "you'll know" ...

I said that sounds like what my mom said when I asked how do I know if he is the one?!

What signs did you guys have?

How did your body clue you in?

I'm just wondering if my body is telling me ... and I'm too clueless to know! :)

Thanks everyone !!!

    I didn't wait for my body to tell me anything. Waiting for my body to do what it wanted got me over 350 lbs. I hit my goal weight and then very carefully started experimenting with exercise and calori

I didn't wait for my body to tell me anything. Waiting for my body to do what it wanted got me over 350 lbs. I hit my goal weight and then very carefully started experimenting with exercise and calorie allowances -- tracking everything -- to find a good range for me to maintain at. It took a lot of work and planning and math, not waiting for mystical messages from my body :D
