    I thought I posted my weekly maintenance levels on Monday, Aug. 6 but I don't see them here on this thread. Any ideas??

    Sometimes I get a long response written, go to post and click on a button other than "Post Reply", especially on the website. Maybe that's what happened? So frustrating!

    Successes & Struggles: Not very happy to see this weight so high as I head on vacation. Hoped to have a buffer few pounds, but that obviously did not happen.

    I have been very consistent in my strength training all year so I’m hopeful that my weight which remains the same since April actually shows some progress in appearance, but I can’t tell these things. I probably won’t be able to strength train in vacation, but should have more opportunities for cardio, so hopefully I can enjoy the time and not gain too much.

    Broken toe is still fragile, but certainly mending. Black eye happened last night (a serious of ridiculousness that included bedtime, a crooked cover, a cat fight in the bed and my husband’s KNEE colliding with my eye socket. Couldn’t make this stuff up. Lol.) So swim goggles are currently a no go so no pre-vacation swim for me.

    Best Wishes to alll, I might be gone for a couple weeks depending upon my cell coverage.

    I totally understand your 'buffer' concept. Enjoy your vacay. Maybe the relaxing will help relieve, what I know you do: constantly consider (for lack of using the word 'worry') how many cals you have had, have I exercised enough, I hope I don't gain, thoughts.

    IMO, you have done great to get where you are from averaging 175. I'm where you are, 177, can't seem to budge anything right now. So, I decided it just may be time to live with 177 and maintain and be happy. More may come off in a few months if I STOP the stressing!!! Blessings for a safe trip

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week:
    Success: lost a pound this week, so 2 pounds in 12 days. That is sloooowwww. Really got familiar with MFP and thanks to so many who have given me advice. I changed my macros to Protein 20; fat 30 and Carbs 50%. I feel more energetic. School started so I haven't been walking and have only done weights 2/7 days :(
    Struggle: Meeting my calorie goal while keeping my macros in check and on track. Have a great week everyone!

    @g_anson -- I am older than you -- 60 yrs. old -- and I have truly never had a better body than I have now! It is because of losing weight, for sure, but mostly it's because I started doing power yoga (I do Baptiste yoga -- if you can find a Baptiste studio, try it!) and we do flow yoga (we move a lot!) for 60 -75 mins. in around 90 degrees. I sweat (I love it!) and I have muscles (!!) and no flab on my arms, strong legs, and I'm getting some decent abs. I try to do it 3-4 times per week -- it's the consistency that I think really makes the difference -- and in yoga, there's no judgment and there's real encouragement. I can't tell you how good it make me feel, and how much more energy I have. Good luck on finding what motivates you! Do something that makes you sweat everyday!
