If you're okay, then we're okay. It is definitely better than gaining!! So, what has got to change in your life for you to not be okay with a maintain?
I am having some medical problems and all the testing and "food elimination" is playing havoc with my already tired body. That is why I'm okay with the maintain.
I got through last years crummy winter so I know I will get through this one to.[/quote]
Oh, I am so sorry. If your body is already tired from everything it is being put through, then of course, trying to lose weight is the last thing your body wants to do, as well as the last thing you want to focus your mental and physical energies on!! So maintaining is an absolute win in this situation!! You are in a much better place than you were last winter, so of course you will prevail this time around as well. (hugs)2 -

Plus 4!! Oh wow but it's Christmas season and Ive been away and had 3 social events this week. I'm ok with it
You seem to have put everything into perspective. The four pounds may have been "easy come", but once the social events are over, they will also be "easy go".3 -

Spent most of the week in bed, doing minimal life requirements due to bad headache. My plan for these situations is the same general plan I’ve had coming in to losing weight this time around. Focus on food first. Seems if I keep under calories, wether I exercise or not, I’ll lose some weight and stay on track. Which beats the hell out of short bursts of perfection followed by long months of no effort at all. Now that I’m coming out of the other side of this headache, I’m really glad I stayed the course on food. I feel like I’m in a better place than I would have been (physically and mentally) had I just full on quit while this was happening.
Side note: down 56.6 pounds. This means 3.4 pounds until I’ve met the first goal of December, losing a whales penis, and 6.4 pounds away from being officially overweight (BMI)
Wow, you have made huge strides with the mental side of this process!! Of course you feel so much better coming out the other side of this headache having paid attention to what you were eating and not completely throwing in the towel. You have also made huge strides on the scale!! Another two plus pounds gone, and a whale penis looming. How does one celebrate that particular milestone, I wonder?!0 -

I’ve been sick all week with headaches then dizziness/vertigo, first time for that and I’m not a fan. So I’m surprised with lack of exercise I was still able to loose some.
Here is to next week when I will feel better (🤞) and be able to get some good exercise in.
Happy Friday everyone!!!5 -

Celebrating a whale penis 101
1) curl up by the fire with a good book...perhaps moby dick
2) Reflect on how small...my place in the universe is. Seriously, 60 pounds is quite impressive (weight loss of course)0 -

I am sorry to hear about the vertigo. It must be virtually contagious as another team mate had this last week!! Good news is, that you lost some weight!! Over two pounds, in fact!! Just think what you can do with some exercise thrown in! Here's to feeling better next week!!2 -

So I mixed my giant animals penis goals up. It’s an elephants penis, not whales. Oops! Guess my celebrating with moby dick joke doesn’t work anymore2 -
I'm finally moving back into my apartment tomorrow, ever since the flood in (August?? Was it?) They hadn't gotten around to cleaning my apartment up until a couple of weeks ago...yay!! Finally!!4

A bit rubbish at remembering to log this week but had an awesome taekwondo session tonight and have done my food prep for the next few days. Weigh in on Monday.
Also non scale victory. Bought the first UK size 12 I’ve bought for 20 years! Non stretch top and it is a tiny bit tight but 2 years ago I couldn’t fit in a stretchy size 22 and I know I’ll be comfortably wearing it in 2019!2 -

Just seen the results for November (having arrived home from holiday *cough cough* with the in-laws from hell and having not been terribly motivated to be kind to myself with food) to see that I lost 4.72% and I'm amazed! It's really beneficial to have the over view of the month and I'm even more motivated to hit the ground running again tomorrow! I'm so inspired! Weigh in will be up in a few hours.2

Hi! Its been a while since I have used MFP. (It actually took almost a week for them to let me back in!) My settings must have changed as I had no notifications for some reason, then lots!
I have seen I missed my weigh in on Sunday, and as its now Saturday(albeit early hours) I'll log my current weight tomorrow.0 -

Current weight: 196.4
Not proud, didn't even enjoy what I did eat but I did get in 15k steps a day, so hopefully my fitness level won't have suffered too badly. I would like to be back below 190 next weigh. Back in the mini challenge and ready to smash it!3 -
I'm Marion (41) from Johannesburg in South Africa.
This is my 5th round.
I have reduced 25kg in the last 12 months with several plateaus inbetween.
I'm currently stuck on another plateau.
I have 20kg to go to reach my dream target weight.
My body fat has reduced from severly obese II to only overweight.
My objective is healthier and fitter and and stronger, not just focused on what I weigh.
Regardless of my health issues with hypothyroid, checking in weekly helps me keep accountible, and help to keep my weight reduction permanent.3 -

Week 1

Had a stomach bug for the past two days so this drop is because I wasn't eating very much, I am assuming will see a little bit of a gain for next week, especially once I start eating normally again4 -
Okay sorry forgot to weigh in yesterday!! Much better week this week!
