I know that I haven't been strict with calories (especially snacking), and that's going to be the key to getting back on track. But it's HARD! I've also increased my running significantly (which increases my hunger - a vicious cycle!), so maybe some of it is muscle. Hard to tell!
At least I haven't been gaining! I've been staying very steady, fluctuating up and down about 1 lb depending on the day, which is within a pretty normal zone of day to day fluctuation.
I can relate! I find that being mindful to get enough protein and fat (before junk carbs) helps to keep my appetite more in check.... when I make myself do it that is. lol0 -

@SherryRueter Discord is an app (apple or windows) that allows users to connect in established groups and have the ability to organize multiple threads for voice chat, texting, and/or video chat. Im currently in a couple for bookclubs and mom’s gorups and i love it! You could probably find some fitness or mfp groups on there already. It may not be for yall though since it might be more trouble to get one going. If i find an established one though, i will send a link in case anyone wanted to check it out.
Heres link where you can search for discord servers/groups: https://discord.com/servers0 -

My weekend went well. A 4 day streak of being 100% on plan.
Sometimes not saying anything helps MORE than getting it into the universe
Things I'm proud of today.
No cheats for 4 days
Besides that pre workout, I've given up Caffeine!
Listening to an audio book "How not to die" - Enjoying it *(and the author has a podcast, so I'm binging that as well).
** listened to his one on Aspartame and OMG.... that stuff could be lethal ** at least how he explains it.
Its SO amazing what eating more fruits and vegetables can do for you.
I've never fully submitted to being a vegan, vegetarian etc. etc.
I prefer to say I eat a lot of veggies and fruits compared to the average american.
This book though has me thinking about a whole foods plant based forward lifestyle.

As for plant diet, have you ever looked into pescatarian or paleo?0 -
I don't really want to be boxed in by a specific diet. I'm sure I am mostly something but, overall - I will eat meat (*presently do) most meals. I am intrigued by dairy free but, I like yogurt and the non dairy yogurts seem not the direction for me. But - i'm very reduced dairy I believe. I do eat a lot of fruits and veggies and starchy carbs. Little processed. Candy yes.
but Alot of this is just a work in progress. really just don't want to live my life by food rules.
Yesterday ate at calorie maint.
Today I want to be watchful to eat below calorie goal.
Workout - total body strength and some agility.
Day 5 - had some chocolate candies - not counting that as a cheat but as a mental health thing. I didn't go over on calories thus, just a few I guess and I didn't die yet or get pregnant from eating them so, I guess its all okay. I do believe that the stuff -- over time -- can have very bad impacts on our health.
