Pooh. I am really late for my Wednesday weigh in. I weighed...just forgot, and then community kept blocking me...and we got the lack of a plan plan for school reopening which is wear a mask when it's convenient, try to stay socially distant and hold your breath, I guess.
Wednesday WI
Week 3
PW 140.5
CW 140.5
And @mulecanter I confess, I was within 1 pound of goal, but am currently 12 up from goal, which isn't bad all thing considered and I am blaming the new hair growth (although it is much less than I had when I was closer to goal!)

7/13 14,325
7/14 5456 (Went blueberry picking and missed my walk)
7/15 15,710
7/16 18,492
7/17 30,176 Walked early and then a friend called, said she was walking and well, so COVID desperate for companionship, I dropped everything and dashed out to meet her. We walked about 5 more miles (maintaining 6 feet between us!)
7/18 6876 More blueberry picking....but I think yesterday covered my two low step days!2 -

I'm now 1 lb from goal weight (63 kg). Hoping next week is the week. Going to post an old shorts vs new shorts pic later.2 -
So as I approach goal weight I wanted to share a couple of things with you all.
Firstly, this is me in my shorts from eight months ago. I was ~200 lb back then (having already lost a bit of weight from my heaviest around June 2019 - when I was too scared to step on the scales).
When I joined F2F in January my goals were to feel healthier and happier, and not to turn into a beetroot every time I tried to exercise. I think I've managed that (mostly). I still get a beetroot head from exercising vigorously but not from running up the stairs!

The second thing I wanted to share is that sadly the hard part for me is definitely not over!
This is my weight chart since I first discovered MFP 10 years ago. If you could see the data points you would see that every time I stop using the app to chart my food and weight, it piles back on again with some extra. I'm good at losing weight. I am NOT good at maintaining it the other end.
So my lovely Trimstones, I'm looking to you to help prevent the rebound this time. Please keep inspiring me and sharing your great ideas, as well as the hard bits, so we can all keep on the right path together!

@Emmajhare We gotcha gal!! CONGRATULATIONS on your accomplishment!!! Enjoy the feeling! You earned it!
Now, begin to think about what you want your maintenance range to be. Once you hit your goal, we'll move you to the "In the Goal Zone" and you continue to report and support, in that range! I'm inspired by your photo...wow think of all your hard work!!! Great job, my friend!

Corrected...it's still a great loss!! Good job! Also, if you want to edit a post, you have a one hour period where you can, but you have to go out and come back to the page to do so.

@Emmajhare very inspiring loss. Could you share maybe tip and tricks from your awesome transformation? Thanks
Sure thing. One of the biggest challenges I faced is that my husband has a very fast metabolism and needs to eat A LOT more calories than me. It doesn't work to just try to stick to smaller portions, either I'm left feeling hungry or he has too much food to eat. So, I've needed to do a few things to get around this:
1. Focus on the meals we don't eat together. Ensure I'm eating a lower calorie breakfast and lunch (around 300 calories per meal) and that he packs in the calories during those meals (usually by him eating lots of bread, which I avoid unless having as a treat).
2. Encouraging him to eat dried fruits and nuts as an after work snack. I eat some vegetable crudites or something if I need a snack.
3. Partial substitution of vegetables or proteins for high carb foods like rice and pasta in my main meal compared to his. So, for example, I will eat 100g of cooked rice and 200g of broccoli and he eats 200g of cooked rice and 100g of broccoli. Or he will have 150g of pasta (uncooked) and I'll have 50-75g and pack out with vegetables or something like quorn mince.
That way, neither of us are left feeling hungry and I'm not likely to binge on unhealthy stuff.4 -
I should also say that starting these food habits is absolutely the hardest bit. It's gets so much easier with time because it just becomes a normal way of life.1
