    Just wanted to ask this group why someone reacts to check in posts, which are really just reporting on current numbers, not opinions, with disagrees? If you have feedback, why not offer it - instead of adding a frown? It seems rather mean spirited, the opposite of what I thought this thread was supposed to be.

    @amckholmes -- It could have been an accident. I think that happens some times. I can totally see it happening from the app if you have a small screen and less small fingers. I just went up-page to see if it was me; it wasn't.

    Of course you realize someone is likely to disagree with your post about disagreeing just to pull your chain, no? And probably someone will disagree with THIS post, too. Don't sweat it.

    As far as whether to add calories or get a new, lower goal -- that's up to you. How did you feel in October? Why not just set your calories to maintain where you are right now and see how you feel for a few months before making a decision about that. You're down near the bottom of the healthy BMI range. Don't get too upset if you drift UP for a month or two. Just keep paying attention and find your happy place.

    Agreed? :wink:

    Don't know, maybe they don't think you should let your weight drift down more? I changed the previous like a gave you to a hug, I was just really making sure it was not me accidentally doing it with with the app. It wasn't! You are doing great on maintenance, keep it up!!!
