    Sleep is my struggle this last week. When I wake several times per night it seems to jump-start my appetite the next day for carbs. Really! And, when I don't sleep well I end up waking late. So, here I go to the pool and hour later than normal.

    Monica: "Remembering that absolutely nothing is off limits but there is a limit (i.e. Calorie goal) as to how much of it I eat - that keeps me on my game"

    ITA! That's my philosophy as well and that's why I love MFP!

    Here for this now that my failed CKD re-cuts are done!

    SW: 213
    CW: 129
    GR: 128-130
    Total Weight lost (at lowest): 90lbs
    Time it took: 7 months + 3 week mini cut following failed CKD experiment and emergency surgery
    Time in Maintenance: 9 weeks (would've been 3 months if not for my fails lol)

    Honestly pretty unhappy with that given I ate at an intentional cut for two weeks while we were all the my inlaws' house and passed on every treat there. Going through my logs and trying to figure out where I effed up

    Candidly, I think it is extremely difficult to be accurate when you are not making most of your meals yourself, e.g. when you're a house guest or eating out a lot. Don't be too hard on yourself.

    Thanks for the thread!

    name- Stephanie
    time in maint- roughly 30 years, give or take, excluding pregnancy
    GR: 115-120

    My goal was to thoroughly enjoy the heck out of the holidays while maintaining. Looks like I achieved at least one goal! I think I put on a pound or two. I haven't been weighing daily so it might take a couple days to see through the water fluctuations and get an average CW.

    Success/Struggle for the week: I have been keeping up with my exercise this week so that is my success. And I am approximately the same weight I was last week. I have struggled to find my maintenance calories and have been trying to stop losing so I feel like maybe I am where I need to be. My struggle this week has been a candle that my son gave me for Christmas. It smells like hot cocoa. I can usually fit in a hot chocolate every day, but this candle really makes me crave sweets. Next time I think I'll ask him to get me a different scent, one that doesn't smell like baked goods.

    2015-2016 was rough. Broke the same foot twice, round of breast cancer, parent health issues, lost my dad. Back to exercising and feeling better.

    Being accountable for staying in my maintenance range is exactly what I need. Thanks for this!

    Little bit outside my comfort zone, but will deal with the 1kg this month. I was on 2 weeks WDW vacation + Christmas after. I would like to see myself in the lower range of my happy weight this spring

    Awesome idea to set up this forum, thanks to the OP

    Anybody tried body recomposition? I am thinking of trying that once I re-lose these couple of pounds I put on over the past 6 months. If you've tried it, have you had any success with it? It sounds like exactly what I need to lose some remaining body fat even though I am at my goal weight.

    @BlessedBeyondMsr I haven't tried body recomp, but while losing did all kinds of exercises - walking, running, elliptical & rowing machines, cardio videos and strength videos (with and without dumbbells). I live a million miles from a gym so do all my stuff at home. I still mix all of this up and am keeping the weight off and actually have some muscles.
    BTW, I am a 58 year old female.

    Sounds like a really hard year. Hope things are so much better this year.
