😳 I triple checked and wanted to cry! 🤣🤣🤣 Last time I dropped like this was from keto. This was all just strict clean eating and pushing myself to exercise steadily. I'm sure most of it is water weight shedding from me using weights etc but this was still so hard earned that I'm honestly emotional this morning haha ❤❤😭 I'm hoping since it wasn't from a quick fix diet like keto that it stays off this time! Although I'm more into using the tape measure and mirror as measurements of success this time 💪🏻8 -
Oops forgot to say what habits I'm working on to meet bigger goals. I'm focusing more on protein and fiber numbers more so then calories (while still watching calories input/output) so I keep my muscle mass this time and learning to balance cardio with weight training etc and sticking to it. Keeping the body from getting too use to a routine and so I don't get bored to quickly.2

Brief introduction: I am Craig, a 51yo 5'9" husband to a beautiful wife and father to a beautiful daughter from Australia.
I have been using MFP for almost 3 years. I started with MFP when trying to work out how to lose weight. I went from 201 lbs (91 kg) to 150 lbs (68 kg) in 9 months. I have been under 150 lbs for over 2 years.
During my weight loss I did A LOT of research into how to lose weight and maintain after losing weight. The principles I found I still use to this day which is why the weight has never ballooned out again. I am happy to share my knowledge on what I found to any that ask. (beware, I occasionally "soap box" {long post}).
I took a break from TBL for a few months and over 6 months added 10 lbs to get close to 150 lbs. I am working at getting back under 140 lbs as I found this was my optimal weight.
One of the principles is to maintain tracking and daily activity (at least 20 minutes). I post my adherence to this daily. It's part of the UAC challenge (different MFP). I find these principles work (but they can be hard to stick to).

Last month I weighed in on Mondays. I would like to switch to Thursdays this month if that’s ok? If it makes things complicated I can keep on Monday.0

I have missed all of you, I have been out of the loop all week, due to some various issues, nothing serious, just kept me preoccupied.
I am back and ready to roll (downward hopefully). Let's have a great February!
Congrats to all of the Kansas City Chiefs fans! It was a fun game to watch!6 -
The habit I am trying to get back into is getting my morning walks in before heading off to work. This past week was tough and didn't get any in. I am going to work on that this week/month. When I put the effort in, even just 20-30 minutes, it pays me back so much with my attitude, and helps set the mood for a productive day.6

Once again I was down before the weekend and jumped back up plus some this Monday morning. I’m going to give myself a little grace because sunday was the Super Bowl and it’s impossible to not over eat while your team is in the Super Bowl. Much less when your team loses 😔. Although I ate a lot, I held strong and did not have any soda. That was an accomplishment for me!
Back at it today a best as I can:
Exercise? Yes, 60 mins at orange theory
Within budget? Yes
Tracked? Yes

Exercise? 30 mins on glutes and 10 mins on upper body
Tracked? Yes
Calories? A tad over. I forgot how lifting weights can make you hungry lol. Even with sufficient protein lol. Tomorrow will be a hiit/cardio day.5 -
Good morning! Today we’re looking for a weigh-in from:

Sounds like you did very well, considering that Super Bowl is our National eating day! Drink extra water this week, and it will come right back off +some I'll bet!1 -
