Successes/struggles of the week: Wow, it’s already September! Weather is starting to cool off, so I am quite happy about that - means more time outdoors walking the dogs or running around.
Lots of stressors at the moment (new school program, new job, home purchase, family member military deployment, international travel planning), but I am trying my best to stay grounded. Taking it one day at a time. Just have to keep reminding myself that eating my feelings won’t make the stress go away.
Have a great week everyone!11 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: After getting to the very bottom of my maintenance range last week, I ended up jumping up a couple of pounds this week. Not worrying about it yet, though I'm hoping that I won't have too much water weight retention this coming week, as I've got a few meals out planned.6 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I haven't been on the maintenance thread in a while, and even though I've managed to stay within range, for the past month I've been at the top end, which is annoying. I started a more intense workout routine, so I'm surprised by the weight gain. I've been eating healthily but not really low calorie, plus I've started lifting and I have gotten comments about being more toned, so it could be some beginner muscle gain. Either way, I'd like to stop my weight from creeping up any more.7 -

When you start a new workout program you will see an increase in weight for a few weeks as your body holds onto extra water for muscle repair. You'll find it'll settle down soon.5 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I met my weight goal in early August and switched over to maintenance. Right after switching over, I went on holiday for a few weeks to Japan (to visit my daughter who is living there). I had a wonderful time, enjoyed all kinds of delicious food, saw all sorts of great places, walked TONS and figured I would deal with any gains when I got home since I wasn't tracking at all. And when I stepped on the scale at the end of August - I was exactly the same weight as when I left!
Now I am back home, back to tracking, and looking forward to being part of this challenge.7 -

Success/ Struggles of the week:
Haven't been participating the last couple months but I'm back. I think this helps me stay accountable. I haven't been logging my food the last few weeks, but instead keeping a pen and paper food diary (just jotting down what I'm eating, not weighing or measuring). I'm trying to figure out how to maintain my weight without tracking my calories. I find counting calories to be too obsessive and soul-sucking lol.
I'm happy to see my weight jump back down. It had been creeping up the past several months.7 -

9/2 -- I am staying around 127.... I am making progress -- no more 130's! YAY! I'm doing the "Just Give Me 10 Days" challenge -- so I guess I'm not really in maintenance if I'm trying to lose -- but I like this group!! Anyway, I'm hoping to hit 125 this month...or even 124! And I am challenging myself to do Power Yoga 4 x week.... it's not just about the weight -- it's about the health and being active.8 -
^^ I am also hoping to get back down to the low end of my maintenance range or even a couple lbs below, so I guess I'm not really "maintaining" either
