    ☑️ 20+ mins exercise (50 min walk)
    ☑️ Within calorie budget
    ☑️ Track every BLT :)

    I'm 15lbs down and considering recalculating my calorie budget based on this current weight. (The past few years I've used the average of multiple calculators to define my calorie target, not the one MFP calculates.) I plan to start the February UAC at that new lower target. Are there any maintainers who could share some advice on how they handled changing/lowering calorie targets as they lost weight?

    Congratulations!
    These are some of the things that I did as I was moving into maintenance and my calorie target was lower.
    For food I increase my salad (lettuce, etc.). This will keep you full.
    I also increase my activity a little bit.
    I decrease food that are heavy in carbs.
    Some things are try and error... Study your macro also it helps.

    What a stellar January @ideas2 - fantastic job!

    You are SO ready to be a winner in February @makattack220 🌟 Great Sunday success and reporting. I suggest you copy and paste that request for assistance like this into “what’s on my mind” board as you will be more likely to get responses.

    Many folks don’t go back and read the older posts on the daily entries. A post on that discussion board in our group means more folks see it, and we all have an easy way to get back to it. 🥰
    EDITED AND UPDATED
    I see now that @MadisonMolly2017 was able to help out. She is the best! 🌟

    Thank you @jamcnewman ! I will post that on that thread in our Feb UAC! Appreciate the recommendation :)

    YAY 9 days!

    I honestly can’t remember if I have 3 or 4, so let’s go with Champion for me this month.

    24.7 BMI
    It was as high as 25.1 this month. First time over 24.9 since Sept 2018.
