    A question for those of you who post progress pics on MFP: where (i.e. on which part of the site) do you do it?

    exam season is approaching, so fitting in workouts and meal prepping is making it difficult to lose weight, so i'm hoping to be able to maybe just maintain.

    height 5.2
    age 49
    Initial goal weight 117 pounds
    Ultimate goal 110 pounds

    Dec 1st : 130
    Dec 9th : 128
    Dec 16th : 127
    January 20th : 130

    Hello, i'm back, finally weighed myself yesterday. Pleased to see that over Christmas and exam period i'd only put on 3 pounds. Stupid to be so scared of a number on the scale. Got a long way to go, 130 pounds looks quite different on a 49 year old body that does no exercise (beyond a lot of walking) than it does on a 20 something body. Body shape has definitely changed. Treated myself to a new DVD for over 40s , and my exercise goal this week is to do it twice and go to the gym once!

    Exams are the main priority, you'll catch up on workouts later!

    True for a 34 y/o couch potato as well... ;)

    Feeling good about where my weight is now, back to normal after the whole food poisoning thing a while back.

    I am focusing more on fitness these days. Not doing much cardio, but mostly working legs/booty and abs. I still have a few weeks left before my shoulder will be “all clear” for upper body exercises. Also, I have been doing yoga in the evenings which I really enjoy.

    GW: 142.0-147.0
    1/7: 144.0
    1/13: 144.4
    1/21: 144.1

    I'm feeling good about maintenance so far. I expect my weight to spike a bit this week, from over eating a bit and impending TOM, but I feel prepared to not freak out and just keep on with it.

    Starting: 150
    Last week: 149
    This week: 148.5

    My goal is two lbs a month, so I have to up my exercise and reduce my carbs (carbs aren't bad, but I find my carbs tend towards the processed white ones.)

    I'm working on focusing and imprinting one major goal a month. This month it is to track in MFP daily and to keep within/under my calorie goal using my exercise calories.

    Whatever I"m thinking about is that I really want to build some sustainable habits, and tracking is the most basic one.

    Congratulations to everyone for continuing on this thread! I'm grateful to the women who sustain this! I'm also happy to be friends with everyone, so just send me a message.

    Whats a cheer? Sth bad or good? :smiley:

    I always thought it was good, unless the cheer comes from a teenager (we've got one of those...) in which case it is ironic, and means something not so good. ;)

    1/8 137.6

    1/22 137.8 (+0.6)

    We attended a birthday party yesterday with homemade dark chocolate ganache cake! We also had dinner out one night with friends and lots of dark stout beer. Needless to say I didn't stay in my calorie deficit
    this week. I'm hoping that things level out over the course of this week. I'm glad that the numbers aren't worse than they are. Other than those two dinners I stuck to my plan. It could have been worse,
    Then again, I could have had way more restraint!

    Well I don't trust my scale anymore. I hopped on it this morning and it said I gained 5 lbs. I moved it a few inches and it read that I only gained one lb. But I'm feeling great and my clothes are starting to get looser! I could have gained because I've been working out more. Who knows
