    Long vacation at the end of July put me outside of my maintenance range.
    Today is my first day back on the scale so I'm sure most of what I'm seeing is water retention.
    Looking to get back into and end the month in my maintenance range.

    I'm guessing that you're in maintenance. How long have you been maintaining? It's something I haven't been able to do once I reach goal. This time (the 3rd time losing) will be different. I'm going to learn how and make it stick. I have a long way to go before I get there but I can use any advice you have... thanks.

    New to this Challenge and back again (re-start with MFP). Been on the weight loss journey soooooo very long. Currently seeing a doctor and on meds for several medical issues related to my weight. In the past year I have lost about 30lbs but seemed to have hit a plateau. Hoping to amp it up with a challenge and tracking to really look at what foods I am putting into my body and keep myself accountable.

    @3rdtimelosesit - Evelyn - I have been in maintenance for just a few months. I don't feel like I have it figured out yet, other than I need to keep tracking and staying within calories to keep this going. I did try changing my MFP goals to maintenance, which gave me 1500 calories + exercise calories (typically 400-500 calories/day) and I ate every single one of those calories. I still maintained, but was at the higher end of my range. Just a week or so ago, I took myself back down to losing 1350 calories + exercise and I'm happier mentally with the upper limit being under 2000 calories. I'm still eating every calorie allotted to me including exercise, but I think I need to learn/commit to calorie banking and thinking about this at a weekly level instead of a daily level since I have a bunch of social situations coming up that I think will be harder to manage.
