Almost got it back down to what I weight 2 weeks ago. It’s so much harder to lose than to gain 🤦🏻♀️3 -

UGH I am so annoyed. I just keep losing and regaining the same 1-2 lbs.
And, I just had some bloodwork done - my cholesterol is elevated but not enough to go on meds thank God. But my docs advice is so vague and annoying. I'm told to avoid fast food, fried food and refined sugar and work out 30 min x 5 days a week. I don't eat fast food. Rarely fried food. What specifically does it mean to avoid refined sugar? And I DO work out 30 min x 5 a week if not more.
I just want to roll my eyes. She didn't ask what my habits are now but just assumed they are bad. I want to do things to lower it but without more specific instructions I don't know what to do differently.3 -

This just frustrated me. I don’t understands how doctors always assume we are not being healthy or give us the all the same script they tell all their patients just to get us out and move on to the next patient. Obviously there are changes we can make to better our health but we don’t all fit in the same box. I think maybe a nutritionist would give better advice.

Hi Dee - I'm jumping in here about the "maintenance group". There is a thread that is not very active, but still holds a lot of interesting information, but you will mostly be right here with your team. The "Goal Zone" is part of every Fat2Fit team - maintaining is a lot like losing and hopefully you'll continue to inspire your teammates to join you and work towards keeping the body you have worked so hard to build.
Here is the old thread - feel free to post there - it will be great to re-awaken the discussions. I'll post it to the other teams with maintainers as well. Keep up the good work!

This is fun for anyone to read - whether you're already maintaining or just dreaming about it!1 -

Strength training is going well. Lol so looking forward to my upper body not being stiff or sore anymore. I had it in my head that I was going to gain weight if I started strength training but I'm quickly realizing that was nonsense.
That’s great. We have weights in the community room here. I am going to see if the doctor will allow any strength training. It’s so good for you.1 -

Fantastic loss! You are right. The pounds are easier to find then lose.PW 149

I have a dietitian who helps me with both diabetes and cholesterol information. Are you able to see one?

@lindamtuck2018 I hope you're feeling better soon! I've been sick on and off for the past month too. What a pain!
@Megan_smartiepants1970 you too - I hope your pain is lessening or at least it's warming up by you so the cold isn't exacerbating it. Here are my steps for 11/7 on.
