    05 Sep ……….. 78.9 kg


    Over a month since my last update and when I had a catch-up with my dietitian.

    She told me to eat more to boost my metabolism, since my long term deficit wasn't producing results.

    Needless to say, my stomach and intestines are now carrying more, and even if I'm not eating at a surplus I've “gained” 2 kg.

    Success of the week: My average/trending weight is finally back within my previous maintenance range, so I reset the range. I had increased it since I've struggled to bring it down the past year. I may have finally recovered from the "Big Oops" that started September 2020. I still have a few pounds to get back to the middle of the range, but still, this is good.

    Struggle of the week: After several months without letting any food go to waste, I found two sweet potatoes in the cupboard that had started to grow. I might put one in a pot and plant it out in the spring.

    Welcome @RAxB! That's a great plan for figuring out your maintenance calories and for handling the holiday season. I also allot my calories so that I'm at a slight deficit most days during the week and a surplus on weekends and other nights out so that I can fully enjoy those days, as that works well for me!

    I’m eating less. Scale is going down gradually!
    Climbing more hills, faster. Overall steps down, but I think the harder workout is a good trade-off.
    Goal remains to get “in the 150’s” and stay there.
    This is here to remind me…
    Sept 1, 2021
    This is by far the best I have ever done with maintenance in my entire life!!!!
    🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸😀😀😀😀😀🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    My average weight for the past 3 Years has been 156.6 or a BMI of 23.8!!!!!!
    🌸🌼🌺

    I am making (slow) progress!! But I’ll never give up. …almost back in the 150’s!

    Thank you!

    Last update I didn't enter all my details so the numbers were all wrong.

    Today I had to brave the new higher numbers.

    At least my running is going well lately.

    It's awesome that you braved yourself into sharing the numbers. I think it takes courage and humbleness to do so. So glad running is going well for you. Keep up the awesome work @Orphia! Your posts on this forum have been gold mines in my journey. X

    Successes/struggles of the week: After 20 years of jogging on and off depending on mental health I ran 5.33 miles continuously this weekend! Longest before getting back into it this summer was 3.2 so this felt big and I ended it feeling really good. I’m 20/25 lbs below my previous lowest weight and I’m faster and stronger than ever.

    This week’s schedule is going to be difficult to get exercise in so I’m not looking forward to that, but I’ll try to squeeze stuff in, while still understanding life happens and I can adjust my eating too.

    Successes/struggles of the week: MY 4 year old was exposed to COVID at school and ended up contracting it with a positive test last Tuesday. Very grateful she is a symptomatic and so far our one year old is still testing negative but it’s made the week a challenge to say the least! I’ve been baking A LOT to relieve anxiety, but really enjoy that I can put the recipes into MFP and log them while still maintaining!

    Success/Struggle: I was very busy last week and did not following my exercise and eating plan at all. I logged only a couple of times. My group (SVDP) was able to provide food, toys, and gift cards to over 30 families. Then the grandsons where here for the weekend. It was a wonderful week but very busy. Fortunately, no weight gain. I am baking cookies this week and then a little Christmas party on Christmas at our house so another fun and busy week but definitely a struggle to follow the plan!

    I’m eating less. Scale is going down gradually!
    Climbing more hills, faster. Overall steps down, but I think the harder workout is a good trade-off.
    Goal remains to get “in the 150’s” and stay there.

    This is here to remind me…
    Sept 1, 2021
    This is by far the best I have ever done with maintenance in my entire life!!!!
    🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸😀😀😀😀😀🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    My average weight for the past 3 Years has been 156.6 or a BMI of 23.8!!!!!!
    🌸🌼🌺

    I am making (slow) progress!! But I’ll never give up. …almost back in the 150’s!

    Thank you!
