    You can do this! I've been maintaining for almost 7 years. I gained 15 pounds (still at BMI 23 - I'm tall) during the last year. For me, walking is key. I have been walking my Covid puppy an hour a day for the last two months and have lost 10 of those pounds.

    Every single day is a new start. Recommit. You can do it.

    Motivation is only what starts the process. After that, what you need is habits that support your goals and a little self discipline.

    I gained about 13 pounds in the past 8 months. I started losing weight in January as I just needed to log and count and do what works and stop gaining! I’ve lost 12 pounds and have one to go. My motivation? Enough already- I know how to do this, and have no excuse. The key- no more drinking. That’s tripped me up before and it’s either wine and weight, or no wine and trim and fit. Not much choice there, for me. (Even when I log the wine I derail too easily and too often, and stop logging).
