Maintenance friends

Happyness4me2

Hello, I'm looking for friends that are in maintenance or trying to be. I'm coming back from a little workout hiatus and do well when I have some mutual encouragement to get my workout goals in. I'm at the upper end of where I'm comfortable with weighing. If I lose a few more pounds I'm ok with that but I'm trying not to gain any. I don't really track my food but occasionally will for a few days just to gage where I'm at. I've been able to maintain my weight this way for a while. I do want to get back into a regular routine of resistance training and do some body recomposition. I think I need to have a group of accountability buddies for daily check ins. IRL I don't know anyone that has similar goals so I'm looking here. Please let me know if you're interested in being mfps so we can encourage each other. I'm a 39 year old working mother to 3 school aged kids, so other moms out there let's be mfps!

Sent you a request. I'm about a month and a half into Maintenance

I'm kind of a sub-par MFP friend, but reading your post and goals, I'm wondering whether you might benefit from one of the exercise-reporting threads in the Fitness and Exercise part of the Community? (I see that you've already dipped into the Challenges and Motivation areas).

Some examples of the kind of threads I'm talking about are these:

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10705619/what-was-your-work-out-today#latest
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10796095/what-youtube-workout-did-you-do-today#latest
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/331789/tlfc-exercise-and-accountability-support#latest

Most of those have been running for a long time, so the first posts will look old when you open them. But they're all still active, with new posts at the end on the high-numbered pages.

I participate in the first one I linked as part of my own exercise accountability routine. It's not totally what keeps me exercising of course, but it's just a little extra in the mix psychologically sometimes.

Best wishes for successful maintenance!
