@bold_rabbit and @BMcC9 thank you again for your encouragement - you both inspired me to get off the couch to walk 110 minutes enjoying the sunshine after the rain let up! You're my life savers today pulling me up from the wallowing of disappointment. Many thanks and blessings to you awesome ladies!!!🏅🙌💕🌹2

Thanks @MadisonMolly2017 !
I used to worry about sooo many things about how to lose weight, then when I got to maintnance, weight creep or breaking a plateaus. I can fill this page.
The KISS method stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. lol
Basically, I focus on the 3 principles here we already know. Track everything accurately (even when I splurge), be honest, stay in the budget and move every day. I make a distinction between activity and formal exercise. I make sure that I "earn" my activity everyday. I don’t eat my activity calories but I eat some of my exercise. When I kept the nutrition healthy and listened to the body, it's as if the body knew what to eat for the tasks that I have to do and the macros fell where they should. Also, I’ve been doing this for a long time and I have learned that comfort is the key. "This is a marathon and not a sprint." I eat when I am hungry and I don’t allow myself to get too hungry or starve because it is usually counterproductive to the overall plan.
Take care and good luck on your journey!MadisonMolly2017 wrote: »

Hiked & Cleaned bathroom like a whirling dervish!mad 😂
Sparkling!
I think the deep cleaning/putting away miscellaneous decorative items is creating calm & giving me a sense of control. Whatever works
Stay safe!3 -
@MadisonMolly2017
I have been in maintenance for almost 4 years. It took me 10 months to get to goal but since then I have had to adjust a little since people were telling me that I looked ill! lol. I was cold all the time and the energy and mental sharpness were not there.
I've learned to eat with a purpose and eating "whole" to give my body what it needed and the body figured it out. If I focus too much on one thing or a macronutrient, it sends me to a binge sooner or later.
