    @Faebert Same issues here. I have binge-gained a couple of pounds back. I hate seeing my stomach roll filling out, but I have to admit that my face looks better.

    @sofchak wow! Truly impressive comparison pic. I’ve seen them before where the person looks better at a higher weight. I’m kind of unsure how to go about it though. Had a dexa scan a couple of weeks back and body fat % was good at 15.9% and muscle mass also better than average for my age weight etc. So it’s not really that I’m skinny fat or that I need to recomp I don’t think?? Maybe just gain a few pounds but I wish I could be sure it would make me look and feel better!

    Also - v jealous of your tough mudder! It’s on my list...

    Success/struggles of the week: well it’s my birthday so I’m obviously treating myself this weekend lol. Getting all my free things from different places. I’m pretty happy today because I uploaded a new pic to my “progress” section on mfp and compared it to before I started lifting weights consistently 9 weeks ago, and even to my picture from 2 weeks ago and I can definitely see a small difference, and my weight is exactly the same. Actually I weigh 4lbs MORE than my “before” pic which was taken back in October. And my stomach area definitely looks a little less fluffy.

    ...Just got back from a week long vacation. Didn't gain any weight while on vacation, but went up 4 lbs during the 1st week back?!?! Working to get that under control. Being relatively new in maintenance, I struggle with recognizing the difference between actual hunger, and just wanting to eat. I'm also trying to be more consistent with exercise.

    Lenie, you and me both!! See my similar post a few above yours ... I think it has to do with the relief of stress after a lovely, very active, but at times stressful vacation ... Kindof like a kid seeing their mom after day care and suddenly bursting into tears ... or maybe it's that the thing I had been both dreading and anticipating is done, and now it's back to the different and rather serious stress of work ...

    Keep reporting here, let's do this maintenance thing!
