@marisap2010 Welcome back! Good luck with your marathon training plan. @polskagirl01 Great write-up! Are you doing three half marathons in three weeks? @RunsOnEspresso Bravo on running your marathon on your own! Exciting and I can quite understand getting teary. Inspirational.

@shanaber Well done for getting your flu shot. Sorry it's "kicked your butt". Cocooning recommended.

Logging everything I eat. If I eat it, I have to log it. This helps so much with knowing what you can and can't afford to eat for the day. Knowing the calorie count of everything means you can chop and change food amounts to fit your calorie goal. I always save some calories for some chocolate at the end of the day.

Thanks for the welcome backs, @Tramboman @Scott6255 @shanaber @quilteryoyo @quilteryoyo I hope your back/hip/leg improves and you can run and do things. Add me to the list of women who don't want pink race shirts.

@katharmonic, thanks, and no need to apologise for your rant. Rant warranted. @WhatMeRunning Thanks. Running maths is a theme that might deserve more discussion. @kgirlhart Well done for doing the 7 miles easy. 7 miles when tired is still good HM practice.

Yes, welcome, @nossmf! You're in your maintenance zone, and have maintained a long time. Good work.

I'm hopeless at maths when running. Today's Couch to 5K session was supposed to be two 8-minute intervals with a walk in between. I failed to hear the app tell me to stop running at the end and ran right through the cooldown walk section. I kept looking at my watch and trying to add up the walk/run intervals, and wondering…

You look so different! Doesn't look like you had ever been overweight. Are you continuing to eat that way in maintenance?

@aswenson19d @polskagirl01 Hi! Good to see you! Yes, I'm still here but mostly just to check in in the maintaining weight thread. I got Covid in March 2020 and had a lot of other stuff going on and lost all my energy. I'm now barely coping with a 5km walk/run and a couple of 5km walks a week. I love how this thread(s) are…

Water Decaf coffee with CoffeeMate Alcohol-free bubbly and spritzers. This lets me avoid unnecessary ups and downs - life's complicated enough! It also leaves me calories for treats when I want them.

Moving average went up a pound this week. No reason why that I can detect other than normal fluctuations.

I was all fired up to do a good run this morning but it was raining and I used up all my esprit de run on braving the weather so my run had lots of walking. @WhatMeRunning Great to hear your heel feels a lot better. Yes, I find walking on hard floors barefoot painful.

@katharmonic Lovely hike! Just the thing. I did a 5.5 km hike this morning. My lungs feel so clean! :smiley:

Thanks for all the "welcome back"s. :) I did my fastest time this year at parkrun (5k) this morning. Very happy. :)

I'm back! Missed you guys even though I see many on Strava. Popped in last month for the first time in about 2 years and read that Pastor Vincent died last year. I was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. Checked his Facebook and saw it was true. So sad. He was always so supportive and funny. After I had two years from…

What did you do to lose it last time? You might want to rethink your strategy and your maintenance plan if you crash dieted (not saying you did).
