This morning's weight: 206.4
This is officially my lowest adult weight since I had my first kid 24 yeara ago.2 -
Woohoo Nic! Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉. The fun part is getting used to your smaller self. Like restaurant booths, theater seats, airline belts, non plus sized clothes…. It’s a whole new world out there!1

Way to go Ms Nic! You'll just have to learn to be more careful when it's windy! ;-)1

Well I just had two days in a row where the scale showed 155 which I hadn't seen since the late summer of 2022 in the early days of the parental's move towards the coast.
I admit to not being unhappy about that. That being the 155, of course🤣😇1 -

Woohoo Mr. PAV! Time to bust out the skinny pants. This just proves you CAN maintain weight loss if you stay in the game.0 -
Well hold on there sparky! That was not "standard" maintenance. I think that by the time we get close to 15lbs we're dealing with a definite oopsies and correction, right?
The operative words there were "summer of 2022".... so it looks like I peaked close to 170 by late August/ early September 2023. So about +15lbs in a year and then -15lbs in a year.
While objectively it looks like the increase was July 2022 to September 2023 and the decrease has been September 2023 to July 2024, I can guarantee you that the increase took less concentration and felt faster than the decrease!
And, of course, we all know that because I wrote that yesterday it is +1lb today!!!1 -
Might change my online name to Sparky? Once had a dog named Sparky. 😂
But seriously- I think what you do is maintenance. It’s allowing for life changes and not totally forgetting the need to manage weight.
My weight is still higher than I’d like. In the past I’d have just moved on and continued to eat too much and buy larger clothes. I may not be in total control right now but am AWARE. I’m not gaining more.

200.4!!
At my height of 5'9", that is a BMI of 29.8. I am overweight!2 -
Congrats Nic! Wish I could be making progress too.
We’re having visitors from Florida in two weeks who must be fed and entertained. Daily salads won’t do. And the cruise to Alaska is looming in less than a month. I hope much walking will mitigate the inevitable gain?
I’ll comfort myself with the thought that I seem to do better when the chaos of summer and cooler weather arrives. Hope that holds true……1 -
I know it's true for Yooly and you will do fine if you remember that you are eating because you're hungry and need nourishment not because you're trying this or that or are entertaining your taste buds or venting emotions. And you can always have more later if you're hungry
As to ms overweight: i also bet you have more muscle than your average overweight cat so I bet you're feeling pretty good about yourself!!!1 -

I probably do, yeah.
At this point I can stand sidelong to the bathroom mirror and grab the amalgam of flabby fat and loose skin that is my belly/panniculus and see what my frame ought to look like.2 -
yup... infinitely.... err... twistable... just don't tie it in knots!!!!!!!

You're in onederland both metric and imperial!
May the joys of onederland continue to make you fly!😎1 -
Looked over my year long weight trend. I was surprised to see that basically my weight has been stable +-4 pounds for the entire year. And truly without much conscious effort. Just day to day better choices?
This is not to say the battle is won. I would dearly like to lose more weight BUT just being stable is a big victory for me.2 -
Being stable without a huge struggle is a HUGE victory!2
-
It for SURE is. Especially if you can get a double gold star by doing it without having to "hang on for dear life"!1

That’s amazing, Yooly!2
