Recomp it is :)

I'm seriously considering jumping off this bus for good. I'm about 3 kilos over my maintenance weight, and 5 kilos over my I-love-it weight. BMI is 23, so fine. I'm very much trying to decide if I'm happy with my current size, it's a healthy size after all or should I force those last few kilos down again? Urgh.

Well done Ruth! I'm here since 2011. Been away for a bit but created a new account fairly quick and been back ever since. Went from BMI 27 to 22 initially, and been in maintenance ever since really. I have given myself a small weight margin and as long as I stay within that margin, I won't log food. I do log in every day…

My third round. I'm really struggling with these last few kilos and I'm starting to think there might be some truth in that it's harder when you're in your forties. The daily weigh-in helps a lot, even though I curse this thread when I fancy that treat in the evening... Good luck everyone :) R15: SW 65.9kg (145.3lb) R16:…

@40lbslighter and @HeidiCooksSupper I LOVE your posts. I can be a bit glass-half-empty at times, but you're absolutely right, it's about health and fitness, about feeling strong and alive. Looks are definitely in the mix too, well for me anyway, but looking after myself and setting the right example for my children, is way…

Bought myself an early birthday pressie today and am now the proud owner of a Charge 2, I upgraded from a Flex. I'm set up now and ready to walk! https://www.fitbit.com/user/568QDS

Yippeee I'm now the proud owner of a Charge 2! It clearly was meant to be as they were €20 cheaper now than when I went initially looking for them on Sunday!

Thanks everyone, definitely leaning more towards the Charge now and I like the replacement bands idea. Thanks again :)

It does, thank you! Just a bit put off by the size of the Charge!

My second round. Still about 2.5kg over my maintenance weight, I really let it slip over the last couple of month, so here goes... I don't usually weigh daily (or weekly even) but for now it helps me keep focus. Good luck everyone :) R15: SW 65.9kg (145.3lb) R16 9/10: 64.3kg - 0.3kg down from yesterday, so happy with that.…

When my children were young I did my workouts in the kitchen, the 30 day shred, or Fitnessblender. Children would hang around me initially but the novelty wore off quick and they left me alone for that half an hour. Now they're older I can go outdoors again, but I'd definitely recommend the workouts at home.

My biggest eye opener over the years was, that this will never be completely natural to me. It gets much much easier though. I can fairly accurately eyeball portions/guestimate calories. Fluctuation is normal and I give myself a margin of about 2kg. If I go too far over this margin, I will re-analyse my eating patterns,…

Or, even worse, "I can't loose weight"

Thank you @40lbslighter appreciate your nice comments.

@Tangled2015 you'd have to start a new post every day. I just try to remember the page my last comment was on and then copy/paste it the next day.

Main target this round (and most likely the next round) is to lose the weight I gained over the holidays... 8/31: 65.9kg - same as yesterday 9/01: 65.5kg - in a good flow, accurate logging and firmly back in the (spinning) saddle 9/02: 65.3kg - can't wait to see the back of 65kg again 9/03: 64.8kg - wow, super happy with…
