February 28 2 pass days.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, Pahla B for 24 minutes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
I started MFP and UAC about 5 months ago. The main reason I started was because my dietitian wanted me to use it.
I started my weight loss journey in July 2019 at 262 pounds and now I am at 190. I was as low as 180 and I am working towards that goal.
I have realized that this a lifestyle change and I am not going back to the weight I was.
These questions are great for next month.

@snowshoe072 that is heart breaking. You and Sadie were very blessed to spend all those lovely times together.

Yes on exercise but no tracking.

No on Winners Circle or Champions this month.

How long have you been on MFP, and what was the catalyst that drove you to finally 'get started',

I've been on MFP since 2014. The catalyst to getting started on MFP in 2014 was running, curiously enough. My journey to better health and food tracking started in 2007. There have been starts and stops, but the important thing is that each stop in this journey finds myself with even more healthy habits that stick with me.

how much weight you've lost and how long it has taken you to lose it,

I really like this question. I think it's safe to say that I have lost 56 pounds over the last 15 years. While I have had periods where my total weight loss was higher, eventually there's some sort of setback and weight gain. Assuming I'm at the peak of my latest setback's weight gain, I am 56 pounds less than at my highest recorded weight

what's been the most difficult part of your journey

Injuries/downtime and health issues. The health issues helped trigger all this. The injuries/downtime are a mix of a result of being to aggressive with my goals or from the aforementioned health issues.

what's something that you've learned from being in the UAC about weight loss or maintaining,

I've learned a lot about maintenance. While I'm still not there, I'm closer, and even set myself to try and maintain late last fall ahead of a surgery. The advice I was given here pulled me through that period with minimal weight gain. The emotional aspect of the surgery, recovery, and other complications in general unrelated to that took a toll causing some weight gain, but I'm extremely pleased with where I am right now despite all that.

I have been quiet here, and not tracking everything (including not tracking exercise). I'm just focused on being as happy as I can be. Happiness requires feeling good, and those good feelings arise from being healthy. So while I may seem adrift, I am focused on doing the right things to make everything better. For some reason right now it's easier to stay relaxed and happy by not holding myself to account for everything I eat, all my steps, minutes exercising, etc. I don't plan to do this long term though. I have better results when I do plan and track everything, and I would really like to kick off another spring, summer and fall of great progress (and beyond) and maybe achieve normal BMI for the first time ever. I was very close last fall, and since I have quite a head start on my weight starting off this year compared to last year, it seems very possible.

Best wishes to all! I think about you all every day, even when I'm not posting.
