    39F 5'4"
    180’s; 170’s; 160’s; 150's; 140's; 130's; 120's
    About me:
    I could not lose weight until I shifted my mindset from "trying to lose weight" by calorie counting to "trying to decrease chronic inflammation" by eating the right foods + calorie counting.

    I can maintain my good health by continuing these healthy habits:
    1) noticing how my clothes are fitting and getting back to the scale and consciously recalibrating my daily diet when necessary.
    2) eating primarily WFPB (Whole Foods, Plant-Based) daily to keep my daily fiber intake around 40 grams. Keep noticing where I can easily make a meal only plant-based and try to have at least one vegan meal per day and at least one fully vegan day per week (this keeps me from getting lazy with vegetables and recipes).
    3) limit ultra-processed foods to almost never avoid added sugar unless it's truly a special occasion and a truly delicious dessert. Road trips are a great time for splurging on grocery store precut fruits and premade fresh spring rolls.
    4) use the muscles I have so I don't lose them. Muscle maintenance is metabolism maintenance.
    5) alcohol is not a necessary part of any diet. Be mindful.

    Short term goals:
    1)maintain my current physical fitness level and healthy diet
    2)lose a little bit of extra fat

    Plan to accomplish goals:
    1)do something fun that challenges my fitness level at least once a week
    2)be serious about no added sugar. I am addicted. I cannot control myself with "just a little bit."
    3)weigh-in and track the trend weight.
    4)set MFP diary settings to maintain weight at 1500 calories per day with macro goals set to 50% carbs, 20% protein, 30% fat. Try to keep weekly average of net calories within the 1500-2000 calories range dependent on exercise. As long as I meet my protein and fiber goals the carbs and fat seem to fall into place and as long as my weekly net calories are around 1800-2000 I seem to maintain weight even without extra exercise so just being more conscious of not going above 2000 should be enough. Thank you, strength training!

    10/16 Today: 132.2 Trend weight: 132.1 I don't consider this a gain because a few days of tracking again will get it down but I'm going to start keeping an eye on it again and posting no matter what it says. Maybe I post without comments but that's still staying accountable. If I disappear again it's not because I've fallen off the wagon (I hope) but because I'm doing well with healthy habits and I'm not thinking about it as a daily challenge anymore. I've rebranded my style of posting borrowing from others here to see if that brings back the fun newness factor that helped me so much here before. Looking to get into the 120s for October.
    10/17 Today: Trend weight: 13x.x
    10/18 Today: Trend weight: 13x.x

    @justanotherjen13 congrats on not having any clothes to fit!!! Take advantage of all the sales from last season items. I'm rewarding myself with new clothes this coming weekend and can't wait to get to the clearance racks.

    Question: Several of you list “trend” weight. Is that provided in MFP or do you manually calculate?! If MFP provides, where is that statistic located? Many thanks in advance!

    @Cchassee there are several apps that provide trend weights, I think happy scale is the most popular.

    @cchassee I use trendweight.com on my pc. It even links up to my fitbit app to automatically recognize my weigh-ins.
