It's time to challenge yourself to keep going and if you have 3 Pass Days or less, stay your course.
Do you have 3 or less Pass Days?
You keep score for you!

He apparently has several books for men and women. I'm doing the "Strong Curves" program (the digital version of the book is available via Amazon). The routine - once you get the hang of it - gets boring so it's key to be aware of progressions (which he does provide in the back of the book...with LOTS of helpful pictures).
It is supposed to help tone your glutes but an MFPer in the main forums suggested this program could also help with general core work. I can now attest that this is true. I'm wrapping up Month 3 of 3 in a few days with confident push-ups and better mobility/balance.
If you try another of his books, keep me posted, please!5 -

@MaltedTea thanks so much ill give both of them a try! I hope u dnt mind asking but did u notice a difference in ur glute size?? Lol! I hvent been able to do weights for over 9 mths due to health complications after the birth of my buba plus since all the weight loss im def missing my curves! I had one of my relatives the other day openly joke and say that they look like pancakes. Ha ha i was highly offended and embarrassed at the time but now am just using it as motivation to get toned. I shld be all good to start a light weights program now. Also im considering tracking macros to help with muscle gain etc. Any thoughts?6

I just got a PowerFit Vibrating Platform and it's sort of amazing. It really shakes up your muscles more than I expected. Went out walking with a friend and after a half hour I was so sore I started walking funny and we burst out laughing... even laughing 😆 hurt but it was the good kind of pain. Hope I don't regret it in the morning.

Plans for setting calorie goalFor February, I will be joining the others in the group that are here for accountability while maintaining. I am adding 200 calories/day to my January target calories, for a total of 1680. For comparison, MFP stated that my maintenance calories should be 1610. We’ll see how this goes and adjust daily calorie goal if I begin to consistently gain.
Also, I will consider calories a “yes” if either my food is under 1680, or my net is under 1400. Both of those numbers are 200 calories above my January numbers.
2/25 - I am upping my "net" number (also called rule #2) by 100 calories due to continued weight loss.Date: 2/1

***So though my “exercise” is on the lighter side, before I headed outside at 8:40 PM in 27 degrees, my apple watch said I had already done 602/510 move calories, 49/30 exercise min, 14/12 stand hours, 9,792 steps, 4.4 miles and 138 flights.
Today was also my “second” run. Shorter than my first, but I needed to make sure my second run was a success so there would ever be a third. I did throw in a hill AND the one time I passed my friendly speed detector I sped up and got it to flash a “9”. :P

*** I owe a bunch of responses and will catch up today. At dinner time last night, I made gnocchi but scalded my hand and dropped my iphone into the recently boiling water when I tripped on the dishwasher door while carrying the pot to drain while calling for information to help get my advanced senior parents their COVID vaccinations. Amazingly, saved the gnocchi, iphone works (was in the hot water at least 5 minutes – Kudos to Apple), parents got their appointments, and I after a long evening trying to treat my hand I feel asleep with mega dose of advil and my wrapped hand in a bucket of cold water. This morning, I think it is going to be ok. Still tender, but I think I won’t lose any skin. Last night, I tried to type on the computer but could not, and for my indoor cycling I did it will my hand raised over my head. The cycling increased blood flow made my hand burn like heck. BUT, no Pass day. I am saving those for something I enjoy!!!

Made dinner and at 7:45 headed out for first long walk in a while. Did 5.5 miles. I think I need to acclimate to the temps and humidity in Florida. 75 degrees is not super pleasant for me…..yet. When I left home two days ago, it was 14 degrees. I personally like 58 to a high of 73. Yes, you can ask me why we bought a place in Florida. :P Tomorrow AM, I will step on the scale for my reference point for the next 10+ weeks. My scale here and the one at home are within .2, so it will also tell me how my planning and pre-tracking worked for the trip. Paper expects it to be fine/good.

*** I should add that I am adjusting my daily calorie rules and raising "rule 2" by 100 calories. I am have continued to loose during this month so my maintenance does need that tweaking.
Remaining passes: 27 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? ✅ More low impact today... ankle still healing. 20 mins yoga/stretching
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? ✅ Yup. Had to be careful with less exercise calories!
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? ✅
I have used 3 pass days this month. Not sure if that qualifies me for the winners’ circle or just an honourable mention... either way, I am pleased I have been able to stick with it this month... I am getting the hang of this...7 -
@RangerRickL yes I plan to be in the circle, thank you!
Yes x 3 for Thursday. Have tracked, eaten lightly barely under calories, and visited with a friend for an hour and a half dog walk on the beach. now off to tennis for at least an hour. If I could live like this everyday I wouldn't need any other supplemental workouts, sigh...6 -
Yes, yes, and yes, a good day.
Rick I think I am already on your list but I am in the winner's circle this month, a good month!6 -
Yes x3
Tried Beyond Burger for the first time and quite liked it! Definitely more than veggie/bean/tofu patties. And this is coming from a meat-eater 7
