Close to goal thread?

CarolAmanda

Is there a thread/check-in for people who are close to their goal? I've been loose with diet and exercise lately and the scale is starting to show it. Plus, summer is almost here and I'd love to feel confident and swim suit ready.

I didn't see a group for this already, but I may have missed it.

I love the idea of this support group!! I also think that being close to goal presents unique challenges and it would be great to support one another on things like, making the maintenance transition, not losing lean muscle while losing the last bit, body toning and composition changes, etc.

Hi Carol,

I like this thread.....as I need some motivation to keep after it.
I am bouncing between 135-140, and would like to bounce between 130-135 :ohwell:
I got to 135 earlier this month.....and then Easter hit.....and today, while good in many ways, wasn't a good diet day at all. Oh well, back at it tomorrow, I hope....the rest of this week, I will be out of my routine, so will have to see how that goes.
Hope your day has gone well.

This sounds like me. I was actually in a maintenance thread back in the fall but have gained about 5 pounds and cannot get it back off so finally dropped off the thread. I am between 128-130 right now but want to be about 123-125. I am getting back into logging daily and keeping accountable to staying within my limits. Great thread!

CarolAmanda

So glad people are in this same spot with me. I think we can be great support for each other!

Kath - I was at a maintenance weight and gained about 5 pounds, too. It's been tough for me to see how my choices lately affected my weight.

Kaye - I'm feeling the difference Easter made for me, too. Time to regroup!

Hey everyone,

I just searched for a thread like this one. I have 5 - 7 pounds to lose... which I have gained in the last 6 months. My clothes are not fitting well and I feel better when I am back at my lower weight.

I have started logging all my food intake but I think i need to to kick up the exercise to more intense work outs.

I am looking forward to support here on the site and ideas from others who are in the same spot.

I actually watched the Insanity informercial this am and have been tempted to purchase... just something to rev up my exercise.

Looking forward to the support here at MFP!

Completed Turbo Fire Core 20 and HIIT 25,burned 366 cals, tomorrow is rest day , but i will try to get something in even if its just a walk, hope u guys are having a blessed weekend :flowerforyou:

kbanzhaf

Oh my.....I need the proverbial "kick in the pants." I've had a busy week, and it's been cruddy weather, and so I've really slacked off on walking this week. My diet hasn't been too bad.....and I've pretty much maintained....but boy, I'd like to lose 5-7 pounds and KEEP it off. Was there once this month (at the top end of where I want to be), so I know I can do it.
Hope you all get off to a good start in May.....will be a difficult month with lots of graduations and parties to go to.
