A finish line is a poor model
Many trackers are built around a target and a countdown. Reach the number and the narrative disappears, even though the next phase requires learning what stability looks like in ordinary life.
Stable does not mean motionless
Maintenance still includes daily variation. Treating every move above a single target as failure turns normal noise into an alarm. A range can represent the job more honestly, while a sustained drift can still deserve attention.
The language should change
During a losing phase, a supported downward direction may align with the chosen focus. During maintenance, the same directional movement may indicate the range is drifting. The measurement did not change meaning by itself; the context did.
Make the handoff visible
Choose when the active phase ends, define a personally appropriate maintenance context, and continue observing without demanding a perfectly flat chart. The Goal Timeline tool makes this handoff visible without pretending to predict your body.
A note on goals
Trendline does not determine whether a target, rate, or range is healthy. Qualified professionals can help with goals affected by symptoms, medications, pregnancy, eating-disorder history, or other medical considerations.
Keep going
Trendline treats maintenance as a first-class phase, not an empty space after the goal.
