    @juliemargaretkim Your clothes fit despite weight gain? Unless you have an obvious new muffin top, I wouldn't do a cut. You earned that muscle, and dieting down a few pounds just to hit a number for the number's sake doesn't seem worth it to me. :smile: Trust the clothes more than the scale!

    This makes me feel so good! Thanks CoachJen! I do think I'm going to settle for five of those 10 pounds -- I'm at 130 and if I can get back to 125, I will gladly say I'm no longer trying to lose weight. And yeah, those muscles feel GREAT! Thanks for the reality check!!

    My emotions and mood has had enormous effect on my eating and day to day activities...I can only hope that I can pull myself together and take control of my weight.
    ...And I lost my login streak which really annoyed me.

    Anyway...

    I’m going to list some positive factors that I can conjure up
    - back on MFP.
    - I’m not sure if I’m eating 100% mindfully. But I am trying to make better choices.
    - I’ve got my fitbit back and will be trying to use it.
    - Trying to keep busy.
    - Trying to sleep better

    Goal- to hit maintenance range before summer

    I think emotions and mood must have a lot of effect on many of us. They often do for me. Are you doing CBT on your own or with a counsellor? How is tracking going?

    I've lost 51lbs by last November & have been trying to lose 8-10 more lbs but most days I am more satisfied eating at maintenance so I'd like to settle my mind & just maintain & stop stressing about it.I don't mind losing some more tho. I'm 5'4 & started at 196-198. I've been maintaining at 147-149
    April 27: 147.6

    Name: Vicky
    Age: 35
    Height: 5' 2.5"
    Total Weight lost: 85
    Time it took to lose: 1 year
    How long in maintenance: 2 years
    Maintenance weight range: 124-127
    Average weight recorded from 2017 (12months): 126

    Week of...
    1st April: 129.2
    8th April:
    15th April:
    22nd April:
    29th April: 127.2

    Success/struggles of the week: I’m thrilled to be back to the top of my maintenance range after hovering in the low 130s for a couple months. I am hoping to keep eating at a deficit until I reach 125 and then slowly start eating more. Honestly when I hit 134 and realized I would need to actively try to lose the weight, I struggled with sticking to it. The first 6 weeks of weight loss felt like a battle. But now the past 2 weeks have felt so easy. I don’t feel the urge to eat constantly like I did all the time in the beginning. And I feel really good about losing 7 lbs in 8-9 weeks.
