3.7 lbs until I see the 140s sounds like May 12th is a possible date for hitting that milestone, but I have a one-week vacation coming up next week, so I'm not likely to hit it that early (sigh).2 -

You’ve got this, @Hilogirl2018. I try to think of these final ups & downs as we get closer to our GW as Very Important Practice for what we’ll need to do in maintenance: persevere, identify behavior creeps, handle vacations etc. usually, it helps my mindset

@MadisonMolly2017 You're right, and something I read on a different MFP thread gave me a lot of clarity about how this works. Instead of being anxious about my upcoming vacation and the inevitable fluctuations that will come with it, I am going to choose to go on a diet break: https://bodyrecomposition.com/?s=diet+break
It's basically what you said, practicing maintenance as we go along. This author advocates for a planned break vs. oh, whoops, went over today, and cites a study to support the idea that planned breaks of at least a week can and should be part of the dieting process ("For anybody who wants to look it up, the full reference is “Wing RR and RW Jeffrey. Prescribed ‘Breaks’ as a means to disrupt weight control efforts. Obes Res (2003) 11: 287-291.”).
I'll be trying an official break Wednesday to Wednesday, and I'll be sure to update here on my results.2 -

Hope your family vacation went well! You are getting really close. Hang in there.1 -
Fivepts.... You are so sweet to motivate everyone. We leave this Saturday for Disney World... Hoping the long walking will negate the inevitable calorie intake. Goal for the trip is to eat mindfully and not eat just to eat or eat because others are hungry if I am not honestly hungru😊2

Ugg! Me too.1
