    I'm with you and cheering for you!! I've had three months of "sideways" activity. Losing/gaining the same 2-3 pounds. I've starting accurately weighing and measuring what I consume, drinking lots of water, and I've upped my exercise game.

    I need this, @Slider678 -- thank you for this thread! If you look at my diary, which to my shame I am keeping open, you'll see that last night I went off the rails again (drank too much, so naturally ate too much too, at a really fun wedding). I need to learn how to live a moderate lifestyle instead of all or nothing. Will happily accept friend/connections to help!

    Weight: 122.5
    Goal by 12/31/19: 117 -- but consistently, not this yo-yo nonsense
    Favorite Calorie Burning Activity: Hiking, walking my dogs
    Biggest Challenge to meeting your Goals: I'm in my fourth straight decade of yo-yo dieting I wish I could learn consistency and moderation.
    A Guilty Pleasure: Sci-fi and fantasy movies/books.

    Hi everyone, this sounds like fun!

    Weight: 125
    Goal by 12/31 Be in maitanence, up arm weights at gym
    Favorite calorie burning activity: sounds weird but using my exercise bike, I can get in a great workout while reading and blasting music!

    Biggest challenge to meeting your goals: vacations and parties, I'm great on my own! I'm nervous about maintaining my weight too after being in losing mode for so long.

    A healthy reward I enjoy: clothes shopping, though I'm waiting to finish losing. I'll also splurge and go to the Farmer's market or an Asian market and go crazy in the produce area, discovering new stuff excites me.
