Exercise - 90something km bike ride
Calories - yes (bit impossible to go over today...)
Tracked - yes
Rained dogs and cats from start to end, but it wasn't too cold. Honestly I have seen worse. Overall definitely a good day as nothing hurts when cycling and I did a lot more distance than I have done recently so it shows I'm still in shape after all! Way to go!
But I'm glad I dried up now...lol7 -

The sun actually came out this afternoon, beautiful walk at sunset with Beloved & the puppy, still can't believe how quick the weekend goes ! Shared the link

I'm pretty proud of myself for doing three days in a row of 60-minute treadmill walks and all three were hard programs on the machine. That is on top of me getting the house decorated.

I went through some of the "new member" threads and where the title specifically said "looking for motivation / accountability" I posted the invite address with an encouragement to check it out.2 -

Exercise? Yes, 65 minutes walk in the village under gray/overcast skies
. I really miss the sun!
Calories? Within allowance
Tracked? Yes4 -
Rose and I had a nice quiet day at home together. Outside, we are having our first blizzard of the winter season. Supposedly, we will get between 8 to 12 inches. Since @Bill70Strong lives on the east side of Lake Michigan (I live on the west side), he may well get twice as much snow. Good luck, Bill!
Calories: just under my limit
Tracking: good
Exercise: 30 minutes treadmill walking at 3.5-3.8 mph. I am going to have to increase my indoor walking and biking now that I do not get outside.5 -

...and also that @jan110144 and @BMcC9 are soon to join us in maintenance. It is great to have others on board and participating in UAC who recognize that the goal achieved is not "the end."
I will be curious if you find maintenance requires the same diligence as losing. I find that weight is not static and my nutrition plan (notice I did not use the word "diet" which in my book is no better than any other 4 letter word) and various components thereof require continual modest adjustments - sometimes daily (i.e. calories up, calories down, exercise up, exercise down, water up, water down) to maintain a healthy balance. Tracking/logging seems to be a given for continued success, at least for me.
Thank you @w8goal4life! Yes, I believe Rock & Craig are both in maintenance, too.
I am curious too! I have tracked/logged all of my food for a long time now. I will never stop. I have an app that computes my daily deficit/surplus based on my Apple Watch & another app that logs to Apple Health.
Best,
I have been in maintenance for a over 8yrs. For me tracking, exercises, mindset that food is a fuel for my body. If I am kind to my body, it will serve me very well. I have no explanation, apology to anybody for the way I have chosen to take care my body (my earthly, precious, and superior car).
@MadisonMolly2017 -- Adjust your MFP settings to maintenance, continue tracking, exercises, etc., for the next few weeks and see how it affect your weight. Adjust as needed until you see you weight within the range set by you and your doctor.
- Surround yourself with like minded people. That is why I am in this group. UAC.
- Remind yourself that this is a life style. It is okay, there is nothing wrong with it. There is no recess after you have reach your goal. (I have known people who have sabotage their goal by not recognizing that this is a life style)
- Keep eating your healthy stuff, continue your good habits. People around will be influence by you.
- Continue in whatever habits got you to your goal. They will become second nature to you.
- Never beat yourself when you fall off the wagon. Get up, forgive yourself, and continue.
- Continue learning. I am always reading, etc.
Any other person with maintenance info? Please add to this list and let all learn.

Thank you so much for these tips & insights! I am glad there are many of you are already successfully maintaining as it reassures me (and has spurred me on for many months).
