Exercise – yes, bike ride, gym and cardio.
Tracking – yes
Calories – yes
3 pass days
Beautifully sunny today, had a lovely bike ride and got to the gym.
My How?
Weighing every day (when I’m at home) and not letting any gains stick around. I log into the Maintainers thread every week to record the actual and trend weight – it keeps me aware of what’s going on.
Logging my food. Meticulous logging when I’m at home informs my choices when I’m eating out.
Keeping active and getting some serious exercise done – weight bearing for bones (osteoporosis) – cardio for general fitness and mobility.
Getting outside for at least 30 minutes a day whenever possible – for mental health.

@TerriRichardson112 - WOW your “how” post is amazing and inspiring! All those journals and goals - that’s remarkable - giant kudos to you!
@Elbee1 - hugs to you regarding your mom. That has to be tough.
This was pass day #1 - was so busy that I didn’t get in any formal exercise (I suppose I could count the climb to the top of a Firetower with my grandkids but even that didn’t take 20 minutes)4 -
These days, my ‘how’ is more about activity and exercise than diet. At 141-143, I am right in the middle of a healthy BMI for my height. I would like to trim down another 10 pounds, but I am comfortable where I am for now.
I concentrate a lot on my Apple Watch rings and a couple of app challenges to keep burning calories and building strength. It’s been 144 days since I missed closing all of my rings. I try to reach 60-90 minutes per day (even though I sometimes fall short, I keep trying). I am in a challenge with an old high school (that’s over 50 years ago) friend to walk 2022 miles in 2022. I am currently on target to meet that goal around Dec 1.
I still track what I eat and stay within my calories budget most days, but not as obsessively as I used to. I raised my calorie limit a little, and allow myself to enjoy social events in a more relaxed way than when I was working hard to get the bulk of weight off.
So that’s my How these days. It’s a lot different than it was last summer when I first started losing. I’m concentrating more on fitness that weight now.5 -

Saturday May 7
Pass day
Still not 100% committed to this but trying my best, and to find what makes it 'easy' for me ... pre-planning, focus on nutrition, movement early in the day before I get sidetracked and reading all your inspiring posts is good way to start. Keep up the good work y'all3 -

Yes x 3 today. Because I'm in a bad state sleeping wise, it's all about preserving my energy. Therefore I am counting food preparation and cleanup as exercise.
I'm still developing my "How". Certain things have improved: I'm rarely binging anymore nor emotionally eating. I'm working on identifying and addressing my emotional triggers. I am developing healthy routines for exercising and working out stress and anxiety. And starting on Monday, I am returning to the office so that will lend itself to a new set of "hows".
