It is harder to maintain something, then to turn up something new. So if you have reached your ideal weight, then why not set a goal to add some muscle. Or maybe, set a goal to get actually ripped. In perfect shape, like you never imagined you could. Look high and far, set your goal and then reach it. Nothing will keep you more motivated then setting and achieving new goals.
