@Nicoles0305 This is my second maintenance break and I've found them to be really helpful. The extra calories give me breathing room and take some of the pressure off. It's a good reset for my body, too. At some point, we'll both reach our goal weights and I see the maintenance breaks as a good way to practice in anticipation of that time.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable. I’ve been doing it for over 4.5 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

I’ve decided to do one. I’ve been considering it for a few days, but am going for it today. Well technically I ate more maintenance level calories yesterday too, but I consider today day one of break. I could use the refreshment right now. I’ve been hanging around the same weight for about 3 weeks now and I’m getting frustrated. A more relaxed approach sounds like just what I need.

Round 177 (109th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. I'm back ! Been AWOL on an extended (3 generation) family holiday, a belated break for DH's 60th birthday from last year !! Had no scales with me & very patchy internet. Didn't log whilst away, but tried to keep some control & had lots of exercise, with 4 DGC all under the age of 4, we went to adventure playgrounds, the beach (it was cold!!, but the children didn't seem to feel it?!) & swimming at a fun leisure swimming pool and I participated on everything!! I feel refreshed and ready for a new start so I hope to keep the ball rolling!! Aim to lose at least a pound by the end of the round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Round # 44 for me!
SW: 373.0 (5100 steps daily step goal, go to bed by 11:30, no eating out or junk food 6 days a week)
Day/Weight/Comment (previous day steps)
2/06 373.0 – 4494 steps
2/07 373.0 – 4840 steps. Had a splurge day yesterday – I thought I would have gained today. I did not track yesterday. I ate out for the first time in over a month and did not get sick and enjoyed my meal. Back on it today. Now I am going to make it no eating out every 10 days vs the regular 7-day week since I did the whole month of January successfully. I have lost 7 pounds so far this year and I am doing a happy dance. My goal this month is to successfully get to the next decade. I am going to be very busy the next 2 weeks so I may not be posting nothing but my weigh ins.
2/08 373.0 – 5724 steps.
2/09 372.2 – 5412 steps. What a rotten day yesterday at work! Drama for you Mama…. But I don’t even want to chat about it because it was so deep. But I am over it and the good thing is I did not binge because of the drama I ate very healthy, under calories and got in a good walk. But I did have a sleepless night because of drama at work which tells me it upset me more than I would have liked But this is life. I am happy I managed my emotions without turning to food. I called a friend and thank goodness I had a session with my therapist scheduled also. I even went to grocery store after work and did not pick up any additional junk food to sooth my emotions. I texted my boss I would not be in until noon to get my thoughts together and sleep late. I would have took a sick day if I was not going on vacation Friday.

My journey … "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"In 2003 Weighed over 600 lbs.My highest weight was 611 in 2003. Weight in 2004 before weight loss surgery was 580. Lowest weight after surgery was 302 in 2007. "I May Not Be Where I Want To Be, but I’m Not Where I Use To Be!"
In 2005 Weighed under 400 lbs.
In 2007 lowest weight after surgery 302lbs
I joined MFP on March 27, 2010 weighing in at 388 pounds. I was re-gaining weight and stumbled up on it while trying to get back on track. I was determined never to see 400+ on that scale again for me.
I have been morbidly obese all my life. I have a lifetime of mental and physical scars from obesity. In October 2004 I had Gastric Bypass surgery. WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) was the best gift that I could and did give to myself.
Between 2008 and 2010 I gradually gained back 80 of almost 300 pounds lost initially after weight loss surgery. I never reached my goal weight of 200 pounds. I still managed to keep off over 65 percent of the weight I lost which is very good and I am very proud of my accomplishments since 2004. It has literally changed my life for the better on all levels. I am here to lose re-gained weight and to reach my initial goal weight. I am in no hurry. I am taking this one day at a time and I am in it for the long haul.
Surgery did not fix the head. It is a good tool and the best gift I have given to myself, but it was not the easy way out as many people think. Once the honeymoon period is over after the WLS it is up to the patient to keep the weight off.
On August 29, 2011-- I was admitted to Intensive Out Patient Eating Disorder Program to learn how to manage my binge eating disorder effectively. The program is wonderful indeed and will be instrumental in me reaching all of my goals. The focus of this program was how to eat and not diet. Weight loss was not a goal of the program. I actually gained 20 pounds in program. But I had to get thru a lot of stuff and my the time I was released I had stopped gaining. I was discharged from program on December 3, 2011.
My tool is still working for me today. My head is still the issue. SO the struggle continues. I will never beat myself up again. I fight the fine fight faithfully and positively everyday. Because that is what will get me to my goals one day. Even though it may not show up on the scale every day -- Everyday I make progress one way or another just by showing up, waking up and trying.
Giving up is not an option for me. Perseverance, Patience, & Positive thinking will help me reach my goals…… and the same is true for you too!! We have the power within us. 7 -

Day/Weight/Comment
02/05 …..196.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/06 …..194.6 ….. (Trend weight 195.5) Nice drop. Yesterday wasn’t perfect but it was pretty good. I must admit that the binge night before last left me not desiring food for most of the day. I really wasn’t very hungry until evening then I tried to make good choices and watch the quantities. I burned a few more calories, got a few more steps and came closer to mile goal with my fitbit but not by design so much, more by projects I was naturally involved in but it still counts! I’m sure the extra bit of movement helped. One of my cumulative goals in the next few rounds will be to get back to 185 and then proceed as originally planned at some substantial weight loss. Good luck everyone this round.
02/07 …..195.4 ….. Trend weight 195.5) Yesterday was an excellent day in both diet and an increase in steps/activity. I’m not sure why the uptick except that it was a weigh-in about 3 hours earlier than usual due to DGS waking me up again. It could be that. It could be the binge finally showing up, or the high sodium Mexican the other day. In any case, I know I am on track and feel very pleased with myself right now. The scale has no choice but to cooperate at some point if I can keep this momentum up. Livingroom kind of done, but furniture still covered and askew. Time to start building the new walls and archway so that an annoying support beam will look more like a header. My handyman is notoriously slow at drywall but good at building. Slow at paint too, but the price is right and he is dedicated. Here we go with another l..o..n..g project!
02/08 …..193.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) A wonderful Whoosh which makes me feel so encouraged. Hold onto your hat 180’s. I’m running a bit late, but I promise, I’m on my way!
02/09 …..193.4 ….. (Trend weight 195.1) Holding steady. I’ll take it!

2/6: 266.6 - Down 13.4 pounds - Today was the first day since I restarted my journey that I craved something other than my prepared food. It took everything I had in me not to pop into some fast food joint. I've worked too hard to give up now.
2/7 - 267.2 - Down 12.8 pounds - A little annoyed by the increase, but when I woke up sore this morning I anticipated a slight gain. I ate right and worked out so I'm proud of myself.
2/8 - 265.8 - Down 14.2 pounds - I am feeling so much stronger than the previous week. I did a yoga workout and I was able to do so much more, stretch so much farther, and stay engaged in the moves longer. This is so exciting.
2/9 - 265.4 - Down 14.6 pounds - Eating right and working out is paying off. I am on track to beat my February goal of 259 pounds. Hooray 🎉

Thank you for starting this, this is just the motivation I need to keep on track and achieve my goals. I'll start my weigh in tomorrow morning. My goals are to lose 5kg (not in 10 days 🤣); to be consistent and committed to regular exercise; with this will encourage improved eating habits and improved sleep habits. I will record everything I eat/drink in myfitnesspal app for the next 10 days. 🎉⚡😃7

63 yr young F, 5ft 4
Round 177 (109th for me). Thanks @QuiltingJaine. I'm back ! Been AWOL on an extended (3 generation) family holiday, a belated break for DH's 60th birthday from last year !! Had no scales with me & very patchy internet. Didn't log whilst away, but tried to keep some control & had lots of exercise, with 4 DGC all under the age of 4, we went to advenutre playgrounds & swimming at a fun leisure swimming pool and I participated on everything!! I feel refreshed and ready for a new start so I hope to keep the ball rolling!! Aim to lose at least a pound by the end of the round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷

maintain weight < 145 (I have been maintaining since July 2019)
Work on improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
I liked this so much I'm borrowing it.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Rough morning in process here. I woke up at 1:30 and could not get back to sleep. So, I got up a read a novel for a couple hours. Went back to bed but feeling it right now.

Enjoyed (a little too much) a men’s group chili-tasting at church last night. Six contestants, six unique recipes. I chose a chocolate chip cookie palate cleanser between tastings.
Voting: each person given six dry beans. Vote by putting beans in the cup next to your favorite(s.) I voted three-each for my two favorites. One of my favorites won, the other got third.

02/07 - 198.6 - Not the best weekend for eating. Really had a craving for soft pretzels so I got them. Worked out a lot but wanted to do more. Just have so much to do around the house that I didn't have as much time to work out as I wanted to. Still got a 10 minute PR on peloton and this morning woke up at 5 to do legs and another ride. Now to control diet this week!
02/08 - 198.0 - Weight and exercise going great, mental health... eh. Always get into a tax season depression but it's hitting early and hard this year. In the past I turned to alcohol and food. Looking for an outlet now. Exercise is great but it's also just part of my day routine so not really a "reward" for getting through each day. I don't know... just writing to write.
02/09 - 198.2 - Woke up and did a core workout, then full body, then a 20 minute cycle. Had more planned but the tablet froze because I sweat so much on the ride... Ugh. Hopefully getting home early enough tonight to be able to walk my pups. I miss them so much this time of year and I miss even a 20 minute walk at night...
02/10 - 195.6 - I don't trust this number at all but I will for sure take it today! Life is just blowing by during tax season I almost forget everything I want to do in a day. I have to remember to keep drinking water and moving throughout the day. I can't believe that I haven't seen 200 on the scale for all these consecutive days, I think this is real!

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
3rd round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.

UGW for now: 200, then reevaluate
Goal for this round: less than I started with

Day/Weight/Comment
2/6 255.6 Out to dinner with friends last night, so expected to be up, and was. Tracked everything I ate and drank, though.
2/7 254.6 Cold, rainy Monday here. Food is all planned for today, along with a walking workout. I think I’m very late to the Leslie Sansone party, but her workouts don’t bother my knee too much.
2/8 254.4 Food planned and logged for today, and walk planned.
2/9 252.6 Whoosh! I know this will bounce around but it arrived at a good time for me emotionally. Lots going on today, so meals are planned and logged. Two hours of handbell rehearsal tonight will take the place of today’s workout.
2/10 252.6 Headed to PT this morning to get some help with my knee. I’m really looking forward to this. Meals for today are planned. A friend brought me cookies yesterday for helping her with something earlier this week and I was proud of myself that I only ate one. That’s a definite NSV for me.

2/10 - 148.9 - Realized I missed a day somewhere and posted a day behind. All caught up now (though I still can't seem to find my missing day. I suppose the past is in the past and I'll let it stay there.) NF Yoga was simply a 6-minute wrist mobility session. I didn't realize I needed it! I've always been hyper-flexible in just about every way ("Double" jointed hips and shoulders included) but wowza did that mobility stretch feel AMAZING. Today I'm scheduled for my bodyweight workout. Need to stay on track for that so I can stay on track for yoga. The yoga is a group challenge so you can fall behind (and get less points) but nobody can work ahead, only catch up. I'm way too competitive to fall behind and that's the motivation I need to get bodyweight workout done. Today will be challenging as I didn't sleep well at all last night. Took until nearly midnight to get to sleep and then tossed and turned. My pillow magically became rock solid and way too tall in the last week or so. I've been waking up chin-to-chest from rolling onto my back in my sleep and the tension headaches are really making my days challenging. Pain cream and excedrin can't touch it. Been sleeping pillowless at least half the night (somewhere along the line I toss it on the floor, usually don't remember it) but that poses its own problems as I also roll to my sides frequently. I suppose new pillow shopping is on my to-do list here soon.

2/08 - This is likely a slightly false high since I finally got some TMI in my life after weighing in (and drinking coffee and a ton of water so weighing again will just be false weight in that regard). Apologies for absences. Spent the weekend helping sellers clear out the house for trash and donations and then yesterday my laptop was dead! By the time it charged, I completely forgot. Guess I didn't quite plug it in all the way like I thought. Oops. Closing date is officially set for the 18th, just haven't gotten the time. Working to schedule electricity and internet switchover, deep clean, and getting plans ready for painting party as well as moving party. BigBro has his first day of school today. Postponed since he was supposed to get his schedule coordinated Thursday but school was closed Thursday/Friday for the ice storm we had, so that happened yesterday instead. Whew. One thing down, now a whole house to go haha! I have a group challenge for yoga for the next month through NF which is every other day. I'll do bodyweight workout today since it's "off" day for yoga. Water has been good through all this, but food is hit or miss. At least I have one solid habit going for me!
2/09 - Back down a tad. I did end up making my zucchini yesterday which I'll have with lunch today. Not quite sure what that will be yet, but at least I have veggies! I also bought a couple bell peppers to cook up to add in somewhere for some color sometime this week. Not sure dinner tonight yet. Did end up getting my workout in after dinner last night. Today should be the yoga challenge. Water still good! Getting back on track slowly but surely. My continuous glucose monitor should be here Friday and I can start watching trends and understanding what I can do to help avoid diabetes and I'm pretty excited to get some answers.

2/6- 198.0 (+.6) Yesterday was my first day at maintenance. What does that mean? I changed my goal from losing two pounds a week to losing .5 pounds a week. That increased my daily calories from 1200 to 1590. My low weight was four days ago at 195.6 but overall my weight loss has slowed to a crawl. I had my indulgence meal on Thursday which I’ve been having once a week since I started and so a bump up was not unexpected. I started logging here on MFP the beginning of June 2021 and was following the State of Slim plan which is a program I went through almost seven years ago. There is a book that outlines all the details and research. I’ve modified and refocused that plan on calories through MFP. Game changer for me. SOS (State of Slim) suggests giving your body a diet break after 4-5 months. That doesn’t mean giving myself permission to go back to my old eating habits. Instead, increasing calories to maintenance allows me to test the waters and could provide a reset to my body so it gets back into the weight loss mode. I did this in October for a week, which was during challenge 169 (above) and lost .2 pounds. The following challenges, I lost 5.2 pounds and 4.0 pounds and then gained a pound in Challenge 172 which was over the holidays. My overall goal is to lose 104.1 (160) pounds and I’m currently down 66.1 pounds, so I have 38 to go. Several of our wise sages on MFP suggested I read this post and the comments when I was approaching the last maintenance break. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10604863/of-refeeds-and-diet-breaks/p12/7 I’m going to still be attentive on weighing and measuring my food and will keep up my exercise. It feels good to do this reset. I think I hit tired mode a few days ago so this is good timing.
2/7- 197.0 (-.4) I had an indulgence meal at the end of the last round, so my weight is coming down from that. It’s amazing how the extra maintenance calories take some of the pressure off. I always have such high expectations to lose almost every time I step on the scale. Now I can relax a little. Today is no planned exercise, but tomorrow I’ll be back in the pool. I do have a bit of the winter doldrums and can’t wait to get back to hiking in the spring.
2/8- 195.6 (-1.8) Wow! Back at my low weight from last Thursday. I’m guessing my body is just getting rid of salt from my indulgence meal at the end of the last round. I’m eating about 1590 calories a day, which is what MFP suggests for a half pound loss a week. That’s up 390 calories a day from what I was doing when I had it set at a 2 pound a week loss. Now that I’m here, it will be interesting to see what this maintenance break brings. I’m excited to swim today.
2/9- 195.2 (-2.0) I ate up to maintenance calories and about a third of my exercise calories. It felt like so much food. Swimming was wonderful. This is a new low weight for me. Today, I’m meeting two of my favorite artists to catch up and play. I can’t wait.
2/10- 195.2 (-2.0) Had a great day yesterday connecting with several of my artist friends. Swimming is on the agenda today.
