    *I lost a bit of weight by changing my habits eating at restaurants. I only eat out if I am with others and typically order one entrée/no sides or soup and salad
    *2025 I will not eat anywhere with a drive thru window!
    *I quit drinking cream/sugar after 2 cups of coffee..most days and cut down on wine/beer and buying cake, cupcakes
    *Also, I have a meal plan with vegetarian meals at least 5 days per week. I have my meals logged in advance every week, usually around 1500 calories per day. (I'm short 5'2). I try to stick to the plan, but not counting calories anymore.

    Wishing everyone the best with this challenge! 🥳 Happy New Year!!!

    Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two year have lost almost 90 pounds. I got to my goal weight in the last quarter of 2024, and now tackling the maintenance phase. There aren't too many maintenance threads on MFP, so hope you don't mind I hop on this thread for this part of my journey. I have been a member of a daily accountability group that really helped me, but would love to transition into a weekly one. I'm working on a buffer to make it so I never hit overweight again, but will be happy just to stay in the ideal BMI range the rest of my life. I'll weigh in on Wednesday, we'll see how that goes!

    My Weekly Goals

    🥅 Stay under Ideal Weight (140)
    👣 100K Steps per day
    🥗 Under Weekly TDEE
    40 Miles🚶‍♀️walking
    3 🫀 Cardio (non-walk) weekly
    3 🏋️‍♀️ Strength Weekly

    @DanielleInProgresss Hi Danni, I had surgery (hysterectomy) three months ago and during the prep period my doctor told me to pause my weight loss for at least two weeks before the surgery, and for three months after. I read a lot about the topic at the time because I wanted to make sure I would have an easy and complete recovery, and all the newer medical articles and studies I read said the same thing.

    I mention this because I think it is always tempting to try to quickly lose a bunch of weight right before a surgery, but that is actually going to be more harmful than helpful. During this time, focus on eating a well-balanced diet with plenty of protein, and getting as much exercise as you can without injury. This will help you recover well from your surgery, and afterward you can focus on losing the weight :) Right now you want your body to have everything it needs, and not focus on putting all its energy into losing weight when it is going to need it for healing.

    Best wishes for your surgery!

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    01/01-193.4-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- Okay, so this is not the greatest start for 2025 but I plan on having a great finish!  I certainly have plenty of time to turn it around so I’m starting TODAY. No time like the present, right? Wishing you all the very best in 2025. I am grateful for this challenge and for each and every one of you!

    01/06-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- No TMI x 3 isn’t helping but I’m still happy to see a 0.4 lb drop since the Jan 1st. Yesterday’s diet could have been better. It was so busy I ended up with a lot of processed foods (TV dinner etc) and junk snacks instead of healthy ones for the most part. I need to do better and I know I CAN do better if I apply myself. I’m having a meeting with my General Contractor today. I’m nervous and I’m sure he won’t be happy since I’m not. Please keep me in your thoughts .
