I kept up with daily logging after a death in the family a month ago. For the first two weeks I was at or above maintenance calories, this past week I've been above goal calories but under maintenance, and yesterday I finally kept within my daily calorie limit again.

Well done on logging through such a difficult time. As long as you are conscious of what you are eating you will, I am sure, reach your goals. It was right to give yourself time. X

Good job, I lost 60 lbs 6 years ago on mfp and our son passed, 3 months later my dad passed. Gained it all back and struggled, but stayed on mfp, now I weigh less than 6 years ago!

I was feeling like I’ve been in a slump this month only losing about 2 lbs so far (was losing 10-12 lbs past several months). Then I compared a side by side photo from when I first started (July 2018) til today and I really think I can finally start to see a difference to myself. Still have more to go, but feeling more motivated again

I have been buying sweaters in a size Medium for the first time ever!!!

Two weeks ago I brought out my winter clothes. The next day I went to wear one of the sweaters only to end up swimming in it. Put it back and tried on 3 more with the same result. These were all purchased last winter and are now way too big on me so I ended up going shopping for some new sweaters in sizes Small and medium depending on the style! I was not expecting them to be so huge on me, I thought they would be baggy but not to this extent! Made me super happy.

Dropped 14 sizes in jeans/pants over almost 4 months.

For many years, I've kept several pair of 36 inch jeans, repeatedly telling myself that I'd eventually get into them again. Today, I did!

I know the scale isn’t everything but right now it’s been kinda a big thing.. it seems like I was going to forever be stuck at 185 lbs.. I weighed this morning and I am at 179.0! My heart skipped a beat.. this calorie counting and exercise has been good for me. I just have to keep the confidence in myself up.

Really scrubbed my tub and shower walls and it was easy because I'm stronger and more flexible. My other NSV was an actual goal. I did the elliptical machine yesterday. So far, I've been swimming for a month and a half and wanted to find another activity to do at the gym. I'm old, heavy and weak with a sore knee and hip and the pool is great for me but I wanted to add a weight bearing exercise, Before I started swimming I couldn't walk 5 blocks. I'm really trying to enjoy each NSV because they come so quickly and easily for people like me who are just starting out. I don't want to forget how bad I used to feel every morning, sore from laying down!

After hitting my goal weight on Monday, I'm moving from the General Health, Fitness and Diet forums on MFP to the Goal: Maintaining Weight forums
Never thought I'd ever be looking in there for advice!

I can borrow clothes from my college age daughter.
My husband and I are loosing weight together.
I have collar bones and only slight back fat roll.

I fit into a smaller size of jeans today, straight out of the dryer and with no contortionism/laying on the bed/ sucking in required. They're very comfortable, for the first time in probably a year, and remained comfortable during and after Thanksgiving lunch.

I enjoyed Thanksgiving--from the traditional breakfast with cinnamon twists and apple sausage down to the big event-with lots of wine all of everything and pie. I was worried about not enjoying--eyeing portions, feeling guilty and just plain stressing--but no--it was one day of pure indulgence. Now back on track. (oh yeah--with my fake logging of a bizzilion calories I would gain over 100 pounds "if every day was like today")

I was in total control with my eating yesterday. Normally I would eat tons of food and feel miserable. This is a huge accomplishment for me. MFP is helping to keep me on track.

OK my second NSV today. (We are old--70s) It was 26 degrees with "feels like" 19. After final clean up--and putting the bones in to make stock my husband is standing by the door with his coat on saying--well are we walking or what?? I don't know which is the greater victory... the fact that we walked--or the fact the DH was the one who wanted to walk.
