Success/struggles of the week: Hi everyone! I am so so so so excited to be here on this thread after many months of creeping. I have quietly shifted over to maintenance after almost two years of weight loss. Last week I was struggling to even get myself to log (unusual for me) but I am back at it this week -- my first official week in maintenance. I do enjoy having a nice weight range to stick to, as opposed to always trying for that lower weight. I wish you all the best in your maintenance journeys!13 -

Success/struggles of the week: i haven't posted for a few weeks, although i am still reading everyone's posts. It have been rough few weeks for me, i eat ok but snacks are killing me. Can't seem to stop. With kids at home for a bit it's much more difficult, as we eat a little different/more/ more of higher calorie foods with them, so there's not much room for snacks left, and yet i can't control my cravings. Also, it rained non-stop last few weeks, so I can't find time to ride, therefore eating extra with no exercise, equals weight gain. I am going to slowly work my way down to the lower end of my range. I'm actually up 6 lbs in a last month. And i feel it too. Not happy with myself at all.9 -
Thanks for starting the thread @stephenearllucas . I do hope @fidangul is ok.
I posted this in the May thread, but I am going to move it here just to be consistent.

Success/struggles of the week:
I already posted this in the may thread but I’ll re post! My weight seemed like it was creeping up in may (up to 157.1) but this last weekend was 155.4 so I was pretty happy about that. I also got my Fitbit back out and decided to start wearing it again just for fun. Turns out I’m burning more calories than I thought. I’ve been aiming for 1700-2000 calories and yesterday, my first time wearing the Fitbit, it said I burned 2300. And I didn’t work out as long as I normally do.6 -

Successes/struggles of the week: I am technically unemployed as of this morning. Had my team farewell and my company farewell party over the last few days to say goodbye to my many coworkers... So many kind words and stories shared this week. I know I will be missed and leadership made it clear that the door is open if I ever want to return.
Chapter closed... new chapter begins Tuesday! Now the trick is to not eat my feelings this weekend out of anxiety over what’s to come! It’s a tremendous opportunity in a new industry in a new city so lots to research just to ease my mind before Day 1.
Have a great week everyone!13 -

Success/struggles of the week: working on not over indulging on snacks and getting some exercise. Small steps, but not a bad week. That trend number is so slow to go down, lol. Just read an article on eating disorders, https://theconversation.com/eating-disorders-are-hard-to-overcome-but-ditching-diets-is-crucial-96078? And honestly, really, those are the suggestions? According to this i have an eating disorder, i step on the scale daily, i read nutrition labels, i control what i eat, darn! really??? Where will i, or probably most of us will be if we did what article suggest? Jeesh, idk. It's depressing, actually. I don't think of myself as the one with eating disorder, i eat great variety of food from all food groups, i eat healthy, three meals plus snacks and try to be reasonable, but it still falls into disordered thinking. I know it won't work for me, that's what got me to be fat most of my life, bunch of rubbish, imho.4 -
Yeah @icemom011 I read that too as it was in a community thread and I reacted just like you.
Felt to me like recommendations meant for people with UNDEReating disorders was presented by the writer as if it was for everyone, in order to further normalize not paying attention to weight.2 -
