    ♥️❤️February Challenge❤️♥️

    Hi! Excited to participate in another challenge! I’ve kept off 7 pounds so far after starting these challenges in October. I’m planning to work out every work day for 45 minutes, restrict eating out for the weekend, log and drink 8 glasses of water daily.

    Highest weight: 165
    Month start weight: 155
    February weight lost so far: 0

    February 1 - 155 (home cooked/ ran 45 m)
    February 2 - 156 (home cooked/ ran 45 m)
    February 3 - 156 (home cooked/ ran 45 m)

    Seems stretching my knees throughout the day is helping a lot, was able to really push my run today with no issue. Super excited I’m figuring this out.

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 61 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from January 31st): 197.0
    Goal: 192.0 (Five lb Loss)
    **************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME**************************

    02/01…...197.0…..(Trend Weight 195.1)….. Pro: No change. There’s that! Con: Only 28 days to get something done!

    02/02.…..197.4…..(Trend Weight 195.3)….. Meals good. Snacks bad. No TMI and exercise ziltch but the renovation is moving along, although slowly.

    02/03.…..195.8…..(Trend Weight 195.4}….. No better on the exercise due to the restrictions, but meals were much better planned. Quantities much better too. Pushing water today as tonight’s homemade Mexican food will likely be high in sodium.

    @Arc2Arc - How are you finding maintenance? I'm not there yet but want to start thinking about it. I mean yesterday, 1 piece of pre-portioned cheesecake and I go up 2 lbs? So 1 day with about 70 grams of carbs......The rest of the day was on target and my usual.

    That scale can drive you crazy can’t it? It took me some time and experience to accept scale fluctuations and focus more on tracking accuracy and determining my TDEE. I doubt that cheesecake was 7,000 calories :-). But our bodies react to certain things. For me salt creates large fluctuations.

    My suggestion would be to go back in time and figure out what your actual TDEE is. This is partly where accuracy of logging is important. If it’s accurate you can see how your weight changed along with total calorie consumption over a certain period of time. Assuming 3500 cal per pound lost, or gained, you can work to your TDEE. Make sense?

    In maintenance it’s even more important to know what your calories burned on a daily basis are so you can be as precise as possible about what you can eat. I don’t know what your weight loss is set at now but assuming 1 pound a week, that gives you another 500 cal when you enter maintenance. I’m a planner. So I started trying to figure out maintenance before I was in maintenance. Maybe that’s possible but it didn’t work for me. I’m learning a whole new set of skills and I had to be in maintenance to learn them. Since I’m not trying to lose I’m figuring out how to work in things I like, like in your case cheesecake. It’s merely budgeting. I also have to accept there’s a lot of trial and error. And so I have no great answers for you other than if you trust the process and believe in yourself it will get easier and easier the longer you’re in maintenance.

    @Arc2Arc
    Thank you for your response. As far as calories go I'm doing 1000-1200 most days except when I have something like yesterday, a rare occurrence. Or a day I'm off but do my elliptical, I usually have a few hundred more calories but if the MFP app is anywhere fairly close to being correct with the exercise calories it calculates, I'm always under net Zero calories, on those 3 days/week. I also limit my net Carbs to 15 +/- 3 daily. For me I have noticed I seem to have a uptick when I eat more net carbs. My body doesn't seem to know how to burn them. Not sure if it's the sugar or flour type. Could be an allergic and I end up retaining water weight. I am not diabetic. My TDEE for maintenance is 1,947. I'm low, I know, but I'm sick of this weight and want to get it off! And very motivated. Averaging about 2 lbs/week and feel so much better and a lot more energy.

    I did do another elliptical session tonight. So total of 330 minutes(5.5 hours) for 23.1 miles.
