    Hello,
    I'm new to this group. I'm married with young adult children in my late 40's. I have been on MFP since 2014 and was maintaining until 2017 when I gained almost 3 stone and at my heaviest weight 190 lbs. I've always exercised but wasn't taking the calorie counting serious until January last year (2023) and something seemed to click in my head. I started last January at 184lbs and have very slowly got to 148.8lbs last Wednesday. Wednesday is my Weigh In Day but I weigh myself and track calories every day good or bad. I would like to reach 140lbs. But realistically will be happy to maintain between 140 and 148 depending what is going on in life. I have always found in the past maintaining is just as hard as losing because the bad snacking habits and portion sizes tend to creep back without noticing and next thing I have 6lbs back on.

    Thanks for your introduction, and you seem to be on quite a tear...keep at it!

    The core of the group is each week has its own thread, which is for posting our weigh-ins. See you there on Wednesdays.

    The geographic diversity here is nice, several people in Europe, and from all over the U.S.

    P.S. in MFP you click 'my groups' or something like that to find this place again.

    Rita, You are making such consistent progress. Have you set a goal weight for yourself? Or, some activity, or other type of goal?

    Hi @chris_in_cal. My next goal is to lose 15.8 lbs to get to 150 lbs. Then ease into maintenance. Thx for asking.
