WINTER 2025 Weight Loss Challenge (JANUARY, FEBRUARY and MARCH) A Continuation

iLive2Walk

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!

15K 👣 Steps, 65 🚶‍♀️Miles, 1005 ⌚ Min, Calorie Deficit 🥗 2,375
I worked really hard since Christmas and it as paid off, lost all my weight from the holidays. My weekly calorie deficit was 2,375 calories - the math says that should be .67 pounds and guess what I lost .7 pounds - I guess the math worked this week! 😁

❄️January 15: 139.9
🥅 👣 📝🥗 🚶‍♀️🫀🏋️‍♀️⌚ All goals met!
124K👣 Steps, 67 Miles, 1073 ⌚ Min, 438 Calorie Deficit
Struggled the second half of the week with four days of over my daily calorie deficit - the deficit at the beginning of the week made it so I was under for the week. Thinking that the overages at the end of the are the reason for the gain, but still in the "ideal" category - but just barely. I need to get it together this week.

I am just having a hard time keeping my night time eating under control. I am doing short weight work out everyday. Most day going for a walk.
