Goal vs. Bear question

Hey All,

   Does anyone know if after you reach your goal, you continue to loose weight, do you still get the bears?  Here's the point.  My weight loss goal is 27 pounds, but that is so close to 30 that I really want that bear (Yes, I know this is a little weird and not very "guy" like, but I have my reasons).  Should I adjust my goal to a pound under the 30 pound weight loss or once I hit my goal, and then press on and loose the next 3 pounds will NS send me a 30 pound bear?  If anyone knows the answer, please enlighten me.  Thanks a lot!  Mike

eh, I would probably change my goal weight if I were you, to the 30 pounds, since after all, that is what you plan to lose, whether your reason for losing it is to get the bear or to actually keep it off, you do have a goal (short or long term) to lose the 30 lbs, right? so change your goal and when you reach it you will get the bear that you want!
congrats on your loss so far!
have a great ns day :)

I have a similar situation. I chose to lose 100 pounds. Then I realize I will not be out of 200 pound bracket. I started at 304.5 and have lost a great bit. I will end up at 204.5 and that is dumb I want to go down to about 185. And guess what I will make it
Good going on your almost goal.

If I was you, I'd do whatever it took to get that 3rd bear, sure drop your goal 3 pounds, not that big of a difference, but those bears really come to mean alot to us, for me they help represent my hard work, determination that I cared enough about me to make a big change in my life.. so I'm proud of me .. so go get that 3rd bear, and congratulations on your success...

Go for "Sky Blue," aka: "Community Bear"!! Congrats on your hard work! I read the other responses and I think our "community" gave you very supportive feedback and shared their confidence in your determination with you. At first, I just thought they were "cute gestures" and "good marketing." Today, as Desyrae said, "those bears really come to mean a lot."
