August Maintainers Back On Track

Posts: 17 Member
I’m finding this thread really helpful, so I’m keeping it going for August.
This challenge is specific to Maintainers who may have lost a little enthusiasm along the journey to better health or simply need to refocus efforts - let’s use this space as a discussion / accountability thread to get back on track and ultimately back in goal range. Check in as often as you like (weekly or bi-weekly preferred).
I just ask that you focus on up to three things:
1. Your current goal - can be big (like run a 10k or lose 10 lbs by Christmas) or small (like eat at a deficit 2 days a week or lose 1/2 lb a week)
2. Recent success - this can be tied to your goal (lost 3 lbs!) or a completely separate NSV (lost a pant size or ran a mile without stopping)
3. Strategy - how are you planning to meet your goal?
Here goes...

Name: Nijntje
How long in maintenance: around 1 year
Goal maintenance range: 112-118
Trendweight 28th July: 121.7
Trendweight 3rd August: 120.8
Current goal: 116
Recent successes: Had a sensible week even though I’ve been off work and out of regular routine (often a situation where I mindlessly eat). Trend is slowly heading back down again.
Strategies for success: Being mindful about why I’m eating when eating has helped a little with the snacking - I shall try to continue this. I’m weighing in a day early as I’m off to visit friends for the weekend where there will be much food - I’m hoping being mindful about what I’m eating will help me navigate that sensibly and with control.
Have a great week everybody!0 -
1. Your current goal: Getting the weight down. After another of my famous bounces. I'm like a broken record.
Lose what sneaks on, get lax, gain about 12-15, take forever to get it off. I've been at this for about 4 mo now, this go-around. Lessons need to be learned this time. This is getting real old. 
2. Recent success - Jeans are getting better. Finally.
3. Strategy - I'm doing 4:3 ADF. It works but slowly. I keep getting derailed thanks to camping trips with the fam every 2 or 3 weeks. Hubby is the chairman of the 3 Square Meals Society and would flip his shiz if he caught me doing IF, so I can't do my protocol while on trips. But I'm right back at it when we return home. Sept 22ish is our last one for the year so I should get a bit more scale cooperation once those are over.

So glad I found this thread! I am grateful that at least I’m still within my normal BMI, but I was definitely trending upward and falling back on my habit of emotional eating. I will check in at least every Sunday.
Name: Elaine
How long in maintenance: Since October 2018
Goal maintenance range: 128-134
Current weight: 139
Current goal: Reach my goal range before my birthday on September 19th, which is about one pound a week.
Recent success:
I’ve lost 1.5 pounds since last week.
I’ve stopped eating ice cream and other sweets in the late evening.
Strategy for your goal:
1. Eat fruit after dinner instead of sweets.
2. Meditate every morning.
3. Log food/exercise in my diet app (I’m in a different program than MFP but still like to use MFP for weigh ins and discussions).
4. Exercise at least ten minutes a day.

Nijntje. I am a teacher so I’ve also had not much structure while on summer break.So going back to work this Thursday will definitely help. I’m really good at packing healthy lunch salads for work. My school also has lots of candy and treats in the teachers lounge and meetings but I’ve learned to say no to all of it. Oh and sugarless gum helps tremendously.1

Baconslave. What is 4:3 ADF? And what is IF? Thanks!
My husband has learned to not get involved with my dieting efforts. I get very sensitive about it because he’s never been overweight. In fact right now he needs to gain weight for health reasons so he’s eating a lot of ice cream. And strangely I never made that connection until just now! The more I watch him eat vanilla ice cream and ice cream bars at night, the more I’m craving my own favorite ice cream flavors, which I eat when he and my daughter are not around.2 -
And my daughter who is very thin is now working at an ice cream shop! 😂
I thought it would help that she and her dad both like my least favorite flavor vanilla but apparently not. I’m still getting caught up in “life’s not fair” which is completely irrational. I had my daughter’s high matabolism too at her age. And my husband may not struggle with overeating but he has some other bad habits he struggles with just as much as I do.2 -
How long in maintenance: almost 3.5 years
Goal maintenance range: 138-142
Current weight: 145 (looking at you camping, all i wanna do is put on bug spray and eat)
Current goal: get back to 140 lbs, master the one leg deadlift
Recent success: didn't eat all the cookies i made last night (just 2)
Strategy for your goal: same strategy as always - calories in vs. calories out...and maybe not making such big cookies3 -

ADF- Alternate day fasting
4:3- 4 days eating/3 days fasting
IF- intermittent fasting (fasting off and on) (or TRE- Time-Restricted Eating)
With ADF, you eat a very tiny bit on fast days, and then eat more on non-fasting days, achieving an overall calorie deficit. I use it as constant low-calories required to lose at this weight makes me exhausted EVERY DAY. With ADF, I have fuel for strength training on some days. So I'm not exhausted and weak all the time like I am with a big deficit every single day. I have Chronic Fatigue anyway, and more tired/weak on top of that just doesn't work for me to accomplish anything.1 -

Ok thanks for clarifying! I do better with three meals a day plus one snack but know lots of people who do well with fasting. I’m glad you’ve found something that works well for you!0 -
Name: bettina
How long in maintenance: about 6 months
Goal maintenance range: 128-132
Current weight: 135
Current goal: 130
Recent success: lost 2 pounds in the past month! I stopped weighing and logging for a little over a month (late may to early july) and gained 7 pounds back which is still insane to me. I was trying intuitive eating but my clothes got tight so I was like...let's step on the scale. Holy cow didn't expect to see 137! Very disappointing since I didnt feel like I was overeating. But yeah with logging and weighing this last month I'm down 2 pounds and my clothes already feel better so very excited for that.
Strategy for your goal: continue to log food daily. In past I ate 1500 calories a day which eventually ended in cravings and over indulging so this time around I've been eating 1800 or so and losing a half pound a week instead of 1lb a week. Feels pretty good but it is hard to see slow progress.4 -

Wow we’re pretty closely matched! I gained six pounds in 16 days of not weighing myself! It has never worked for me to ignore the scale. I have plenty of stretch in my clothes and a large capacity for denial so it doesn’t work for me to see how my clothes fit. In the past when I got up to 158 pounds I actually stopped buying pants and only wore loose dresses and skirts with elastic waists! How’s that for denial? 😀0 -

Yeah isn't it so crazy!? I was so shocked to see the scale jump so high. I think I can eventually get to a place where I dont log daily but I am pretty sure I will always have to weigh regularly. Maintenance is definitely a learning curve! Got to figure out what works1 -
Name: Amy
How long in maintenance: 3.5 years
Goal maintenance range: 130-145
Current weight:135
Current goal:130
Recent success: I've had people mention I must have a good metabolism. They don't see the work that goes into maintaining for me. My work shows and I've had enough power to keep doing it even with some fluctuation.
Strategy for your goal: Eat clean and lean throughout the week with a day or two during the weekend to "eat normal". Continue to add alternatives to meals with my kids. Example- Pasta for my kids, veggie or miracle noodles for me and still enjoy lean meatballs and homemade sauce. Thus far it has seemed to work. It's a bit harder when I begin to bake like I love to do.3 -
Nijntje. I am a teacher so I’ve also had not much structure while on summer break.So going back to work this Thursday will definitely help. I’m really good at packing healthy lunch salads for work. My school also has lots of candy and treats in the teachers lounge and meetings but I’ve learned to say no to all of it. Oh and sugarless gum helps tremendously.
It sounds like we’re in similar boats - although I think you’re definitely ahead of me in saying no to office treats - still a struggle for me.
I’d like to be in a place mentally where I don’t need to be in control of a routine in order to make good food choices - I think that’s still my real problem0 -

Not a lot to report. No scale victories, but no defeats either. I'm heading into another disruptive camping trip tomorrow. I'm going to try to keep everything maintenance as best I can and move around a lot.

Not much to report here either. Managing to hang on to just a pound under scream weight, which is 15# above goal weight and 25# above lowest weight. I’m at a serious mental crossroads about what to do from here. Oddly, summer is always harder for me, but I’m feeling a little out of control.11

Current goal: Reach my goal range before my birthday on September 19th, which is about one pound a week.
Recent success:
I’m happy to be walking and meditating again. I gained half a pound this week but I’m going to keep my head in the game and stick to the good habits. This will be my first “real” week back at work and I have my lunch salads packed!
Strategy for your goal:
1. Eat fruit after dinner instead of sweets.
✅ Did that this week and mostly just ate nothing.
2. Meditate every morning.
😊 Got five days in
3. Log food/exercise in my diet app (I’m in a different program than MFP but still like to use MFP for weigh ins and discussions).
😀 6 out of 7 days logged.
4. Exercise at least ten minutes a day.
✅ I did revise my goal to four times a week and I walked for 20-60 minutes four times.1 -

Yes I’ve thought that a lot too. I don’t know what the clear answer is for me ultimately. But for now, I’m accepting the fact that it’s easier to not eat the snacks at all than to try good old moderation. On Friday I had a training with an INSANE spread of bagels, chocolate, doughnuts, fruit. I could have done some portion control and fruit but it just felt easier to drink black coffee.
Of course I also caved in to two slices of pizza and salad for lunch afterwards. That need to get a second slice (I hate you buffets!) was definitely stress-related.1 -

Good for you re: Scream Weight!!🎉
Summer is always the hardest for me, too. The heat, the heat!
What are you thinking are your options at the crossroads?2 -
I know August is half over but I need some accountability.
I have a wedding to attend in just under 3 weeks and a hot dress to wear (but it ain't so hot looking right now - think stuffed sausage casing.)

I posted this somewhere else, but it really belongs here because... BACK ON TRACK!
Please let me apologize because this post is a bit self-serving. Um.... more than a bit. But it's also something I am celebrating.
I've been on MFP for 18 months. I was pretty steady and consistent for the first six or eight months, and I got near my goal weight. Then last fall I put a little back on and have been in and out of my goal range since then. I expanded my goal range to be ten pounds instead of seven. Back in January, I briefly got even over that weight. Since then I've SLOWLY been getting back to goal. I've looked at graphs, and they show what looks like a modified sine wave. That says I'm maintaining at least to some degree. The thing that I just realized is that since January, that sine wave is moving down again so it's fluctuating at or near my goal. That's better than fluctuating five pounds over my goal, which is what it was doing for a while. Many of us know how frustrating that last five or six pounds can be. I'm here to tell you that with patience, persistence, and permission to stray from the course every now and then, it is possible!
Anyway, I just happened to be looking at some time series on Trendweight.com. I hadn't looked back to the beginning for a while, and it made me feel more like I'm successful in my journey than just luffing. Sometimes it's CRITICAL to luff -- just got to get air back in the sails at some point. We can all do this!
The past month looks pretty good. I'm not yet convinced it's true because August 3-9 are interpolated from my weight before and after my dive trip was essentially unchanged. It's bounced since then, so no reason to think it didn't bounce on the boat. Send me back!
Looking back three months, I can see where I gave myself permission to be a little gluttonous on a couple river trips and at Oregon Country Fair. Send me back! I can also see that I was able to stop the upward trend and get back TOWARDS where I need to be. We can do this, and together we will!
Looking back SIX months, it looks like I really slipped for a while with a slow, steady increase that went back to May. Must have been some good times back then! I also see that I was doing REALLY well during most of the spring. That's something to celebrate, so I'm writing it here.
You can guess where this is going. I looked at a one-year chart. I start to see that sine wave develop. I see a dip down to my goal range, but one that doesn't stick. I see the fall/winter gain followed by bouncing back around near my goal and another SMALL increase in the past couple months that APPEARS to be resolving. It's a work in progress, just like yours!
Finally I decided to look back to January 2018 when I started MFP. Leaping Leopards, I've got something to celebrate! It almost looks like I've been successfully maintaining at or near my goal range for a full year after that initial success in dropping extra mass.
Last year when I was on the dive boat, I got down to 16 pounds of lead. It was a new drysuit that isn't buoyant, but still.... I started with 22 pounds because that's what I ended the trip with in 2016. In 2014, I had 25 pounds. That's all a success! I added a little weight this year because I got new fins that are positively buoyant. I was dialed in with 18-19 pounds. With 18 pounds, I had to be very careful at my safety stop with a nearly empty cylinder. If I didn't stay relaxed, I would drift to the surface. With 19 pounds, it was PERFECT even at the end of the dive. I'm contemplating a WARM WATER dive trip this winter. Never really done that before! I should be able to get away with a 3mm shorty. I'd love to dive with just board shorts, and then I wouldn't even really need a BCD.
I hope YOU can also celebrate the milestones on your journey. A high-five and fist bump if you can. Give yourself some credit for your success even if there's hiccups along the way. And let's stick to it and keep on this journey!

Please do not apologize for celebrating your successes! The purpose of these discussions is to help each other stay on track and stay encouraged. One way is to share our struggles, but another important way is to share our celebrations. So thank you very much for sharing!
And good timing because this is exactly what I was looking at right before reading your post. On my BMI app, I can see clearly how my weight started moving up between April and July 2019. However, you can also see that I’ve stayed within my normal BMI for the past 11 months AND I am trending back down again this month. I know I can do this!
And by the way, I also love these MBT discussions because it means I can unload with all these details, both good and bad, with people sharing the same experience. Thus freeing up other people from having to hear all of this (my husband, coworkers, friends, daughter). So thanks everyone!
