January 6: 192--I am feeling better and I have cleaned and did some canning the last couple of days. We got a lot of snow last night so I had a snow day from work. I got a good workout and then shoveling snow gave a bonus workout. I also took time to just relax.

I lost a bit of weight by changing my habits eating at restaurants. I only eat out if I am with others and typically order one entrée/no sides or soup and salad
*2025 I will not eat anywhere with a drive thru window!
*I quit drinking cream/sugar after 2 cups of coffee..most days and cut down on wine/beer and buying cake, cupcakes
*Also, I have a meal plan with vegetarian meals at least 5 days per week. I have my meals logged in advance every week, usually around 1500 calories per day. (I'm short 5'2). I try to stick to the plan, but not counting calories anymore.

Wishing everyone the best with this challenge! 🥳 Happy New Year!!!

Hello I'm Darlene, retired, 64-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I started my journey in January 2023, and over the last two year have lost almost 90 pounds. I got to my goal weight in the last quarter of 2024, and now tackling the maintenance phase. There aren't too many maintenance threads on MFP, so hope you don't mind I hop on this thread for this part of my journey. I have been a member of a daily accountability group that really helped me, but would love to transition into a weekly one. I'm working on a buffer to make it so I never hit overweight again, but will be happy just to stay in the ideal BMI range the rest of my life. I'll weigh in on Wednesday, we'll see how that goes!

My Weekly Goals

🥅 Stay under Ideal Weight (140)
👣 100K Steps Weekly
🥗 Under Weekly TDEE
🚶‍♀️40 Mileswalking
🫀 3 Cardio (non-walk) weekly

I worked really hard since Christmas and it as paid off, lost all my weight from the holidays. My weekly calorie deficit was 2,375 calories - the math says that should be .67 pounds and guess what I lost .7 pounds - I guess the math worked this week! 😁

CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT: xxxxx
TOTAL LOST IN THIS CHALLENGE:

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

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

01/01-193.4-(Trend Weight: 192.9)-

01/06-193.0-(Trend Weight: 192.9)- No TMI x 3 isn’t helping but I’m still happy to see a 0.4 lb drop since the Jan 1st. Yesterday’s diet could have been better. It was so busy I ended up with a lot of processed foods (TV dinner etc) and junk snacks instead of healthy ones for the most part. I need to do better and I know I CAN do better if I apply myself. I’m having a meeting with my General Contractor today. I’m nervous and I’m sure he won’t be happy since I’m not. Please keep me in your thoughts .

01/13-191.2-(Trend Weight: 192.4)- I’ve seen some progress this week and have been more attentive to my diet. It’s really hard to get back into the swing of things after the holidays but I’m giving it my all. I’m please with how its going for the most part. I’m pleased with how my trend weight is trending down each day. However, I know that I should be exercising and moving more and that is where I am lacking the most. No excuses, I’m just being lazy. I need to turn that around too.

@takinitalloff

my doctor told me to pause my weight loss for at least two weeks before the surgery, and for three months after. I read a lot about the topic at the time because I wanted to make sure I would have an easy and complete recovery, and all the newer medical articles and studies I read said the same thing.

I mention this because I think it is always tempting to try to quickly lose a bunch of weight right before a surgery, but that is actually going to be more harmful than helpful. During this time, focus on eating a well-balanced diet with plenty of protein, and getting as much exercise as you can without injury. This will help you recover well from your surgery, and afterward you can focus on losing the weight Right now you want your body to have everything it needs, and not focus on putting all its energy into losing weight when it is going to need it for healing.

Fantastic information for all of us. Thanks so much for sharing!

I need some suggestions. I was doing really good with keeping my food under control. Yesterday and today I have snacked on popcorn, gluten free pretzels, nuts, cheese cubes, and some chocolate. What are some suggestions for healthy snacks that I can have at work?
