Sunny Calif was actually sunny yesterday, with temps almost 70 70degrees. Delightful after days of cold and grey in Indiana. Totally fell off the wagon on the travel day out here... long day, poor planning in terms of managing my eating schedule. But, back on plan yesterday. Way too sedentary, but my body is getting a much-needed break

A MFP blog to read and ponder as we close out February and get ready for March ... Things to ADD to your life to lose weight. It's not ALLL about food restrictions .... it's about discovering what "a sustainable lifestyle" looks like in YOUR world.

Thank you so much, I need to read these words.
I have been on and off MFP for many years. I wish I could blame it on the TOM but I'm pass that phase of life. I believe one of my problems is that I might not be eating enough. I should say I know I'm not eating enough.
It's just so hard. But I will Keep On Keeping On.
Thanks Again
Do you have a weight-trending app? It might help keep numbers on the scale in a wider perspective - I have heard of Happy Scale for apple or Libra for Android.
Does anyone else use either of these?1 -

Summary:- If your name has a strikethrough, I have ALL your numbers
- If your name is in bold / italics, I am missing one or two end-of-week numbers. Even if they get covered off for this week - let me know them and I will enter your official numbers for the "whole of month" record.
- @Leni1us, I used @reflectionofme's numbers to cover your gaps, but if you post your own numbers, I will swap them in.
Thank you, @reflectionofme for helping cover four of our gaps.
I can only use one person's replacement numbers on one day's gap ... so if there are three people who track their steps and are not part of the Starting Lineup .....
For maximum possible placement in the Team vs Team rankings, I need:
Friday: name - steps
Saturday: name1 - steps
Saturday: name2 - steps
Saturday: name3 - steps
... we made the podium for the first time last week ..... can we do it again?
I am sooooo sorry. I've spent the last several evenings at the hospital with a close friend of mine. She went in last Thursday afternoon. I totally forgot about logging my steps. My Fitbit logs everyday for me so I listed my missing days below. I hope I'm not too late. If you need to replace me cuz I screwed it up for the group, I'd totally understand. I'm back so I'll be posting daily. Again, I'm sorry for being MIA.
2/21 - 13,128
2/22 - 11,749
2/23 - 10,222
2/24 - 12,866

Not to worry!!! Life Happens ... and supporting your close friend in hospital is more important in the grand scheme of things than filling in boxes on a step-count spreadsheet.
I will swap in your own numbers tonight for the final end-of-month count.1 -

Talk It Out Tuesday
Think Through The Data Tuesday
Today is your day to vent / shout out for help or suggestions. And provide support / hugs / suggestions to posts.1 -
Take time over this final week to look at what your monthly goals were, what helped and hindered, and consider what you will keep doing / tweak in the next month.
What does "sustainable lifestyle choice" mean to you? That's the key .... what can you see yourself keeping on doing for most of a lifetime, not JUST till you "hit goal"?2 -

We are in opposite weather universes but having the same struggled! It's -30 here in spite of the bright sun doing its level best to warm things up. I am about to have my first exercise session in many days. I will certainly need to get back on the weight loss part of the team in March!
WTG on team standings everyone.2 -

Feb was my first month in maintenance. I have been mixed feelings re how I did. I have stayed within calorie limits all but 2 days. Exercise is always the least of my problems. What I am not quite happy with is that I tend to go under calories in fear of starting to gain back. I need to continue to work on finding my new normal so I can trust the process as I did in the active weight loss phase.
I will plan in March to add a bit more to lunch and dinner instead of "saving" so many "in case". I may also play with add ingredients back in some foods that I have avoided, for the most part.
In many ways I am finding maintenance a bit more challenging than active weight loss. So, I am not leaving MFP soon!2 -
@jan110144 , yes I imagine that, after soooo much time working on managing fewer and fewer required daily calories to keep even a 0.5 lb / per week rate of loss going (where I am right now) ... having to find ways to start phasing quality calories back IN is a whole new mind-set adjustment process.
The need to "give yourself PERMISSION to eat" must be a whole new "sustainability adjustment process" to work through.
I vaguely remember (from decades ago) that WW advocated a 6 wk process of gradually adding a bit more, and a bit more, without changing normal fitness / daily activity routines, until you discover your stabilization point.
Actually planning / consuming calories earlier in the day and increasing serving size / adding back some ingredients (like toppings and trimmings) sounds like a good place to start.
Do you have access to a weight-trending app? Then you can pick an absolute "top-of-acceptable-zone / bottom-of-acceptable zone" pair of numbers, and just watch the trend .... if you start trending too close to the top, take extra care for a few days. If continually trending too close to the bottom end, add some extra snack or topping calories (could be fruit or nuts /seeds or something equally healthy) or just a few extra grams of everything ...1 -
For anyone at or approaching transition to maintenance ... the following thread might give you ideas for your evolving long-term approach to this new phase of your life.

Today I have an early birthday dinner and can't control what is being served to me. I get on the scale this morning and I'm thinking okay I should see a downward movement, but I'm up 2 ounces. I know that's not a lot but I am feeling really down about it. I hate when I hit a wall, I hope I haven't plateaued this soon.
I also get the same thing some time but I just move around a little bit for an hour or so and finish my morning stuff and if I don’t eat anything and then weigh in again sometimes I am a pound lighter. So don’t get discouraged , it might be water weight some mornings. Mine doesn’t get down even I workout atleast 7 hours a week in gym on my bad week and eat within my calorie limit.
But we will do this and will get there. Staying strong together in this 💪🏻💪🏻2 -

I have been trying to find this in chart form for some time now ... "cause I can never remember the specifics.
Please look it over, and as we move into a new month we should each determine what progress we have made so far - how far we each still have to go .... and whether our MFP profile expectations are still appropriately set to our new, current reality.3 -
