Congrats to all who kept up the grind all month!
Yes 3 x's for me on December 30th and 31st. I'm posting early today so I don't forget later!
Happy New Year! See you in January5 -
And today is my pass #3 as anticipated.
Went back to racing today after missing three races in a row with an injury and then the flu. I was quite excited to make it to come back within the year, even if it was a real last call.
Race went well, I'm satisfied and tired. Haven't talked to my main coach yet but think he'll be pleased.
Have a good start of the new year everyone.I look forward to a whole year with the UAC team.

I'll check in again tonight, but I'm sure that today will also be a yes X 3, so that should indeed put me in the winner's circle. I will be toasting tonight with my favorite drink that I only have on very special and very rare occasions two or three times a year-- a chocolate martini, weighing in strong at 567 calories. I have it pre-logged in "snacks" and my calories for the day planned around it!
I have really enjoyed this group, and through it I've learned how to track and get in some exercise during a time of feasting & socializing. I will probably be seeing you in January.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! 🎉8 -
@MadisonMolly2017 @BMcC9
It looks like we are all going to arrive at maintenance in nearly the same time! Congrats.
I am starting to think about just how I will step my way into increasing calories in. I find the thought of changing anything a bit unsettling. After all the hard work to get here, I don't want to derail myself in the next step!
There is a Maintenance Board, and probably good advice on how to make the transition in the pinned threads at the top there. And there are maintainers here who can tell us how they managed the change-over.
I know that one should allow about 6 weeks of transition / fine-tuning / readjustment
DECADES ago, when I was in WW and a person reached Goal, the advice was to add a bit of extra food per week until you stopped losing. Judging by the ads, the program and how their "point system" works has changed multiple times since then, but this kind of behavioral adaptation strategy still seems sound.
So maybe (when the time comes) see what MPF says your maintenance calorie allotment would be; divide the difference by 6; add in THAT many extra calories per week while keeping things like your normal-these-days exercise burn the same. Or start eating back ALL your exercise calories (if you are not currently doing so). MFP will take care of apportioning the macro re-distribution - you "just" keep making choices that keep you in the green while at the top of your Daily Total Calories number.
In terms of mechanics, that's not really so different from what we had to go through in terms of logging and self-awareness at the very beginning when we had to transition from lazy choices to healthy choices.
(At least, that's the mind-set I intend to launch from)5 -
Came back real quick to wish everyone a Healthy & Happy New Year!!! Can't wait to see what 2019 has in store for us and it's my goal to make 2019 my healthiest & most productive year.
Hope y'all are kicking some *kitten* too! See y'all tomorrow7 -
Congratulations to all those who made the winners circle. Your discipline is awesome. Hop to see you there in January.7

After that, it will be a question of fine tuning where I want my Maintenance Zone to be (absolute top range 135-139 lbs, but may end up with 135 lbs as either the middle or the top end ... being 60 yrs old, I doubt I will aim as low as the charted dead-centre of Normal Zone for my height (BMI = 20), which would be 124 lbs.
....
Hi @BMcC9 !
Congratulations on all that you have accomplished!
I believe the normal range for BMI runs from 18.5 to 24.9. And I have read that many doctors recommend not going below 20.
So I set my GW to BMI = 22.5.
3.4 to 4.4 lbs to go
Down ~ 74-75.
Please let me know if I’ve got this wrong!
You didn't get it wrong, I just mis-remembered the factor I don't pay as much attention to.
124 lbs (for me) is actually BMI = ~ 22. It is still the dead-center and recommended target of my Wii Fit Plus weight-tracking exergame, and I still think it might be a bit low for me, given my time of life.
When setting each 1 lb mini-goal target, always first thing in the morning, I register the "a good (final) weight for you" poundage but don't really register the equivalent BMI number. I just let the program worry about that part.
When I posted the above (in the evening) I THOUGHT I remembered that "20" was mid-zone. This morning I met my current mini-goal, and while setting the next one, realized the mistake.4 -
Happy New Year to all and congratulations to those who made the winner’s circle during this month full of celebratory food and drinks! Thank you for welcoming me into UAC this month, I’ve enjoyed hearing your stories and how you’ve coped with the demands of the holidays.
