Joined MFP on 5/7/17 with OSW: 178 Challenge SW: 10/1: 147.4 (goal to weight 140) 10/8: 149.8 so...not a great week, was over calories for a couple of days, and alcohol/salty snacks over the weekend did not help. I am increasing my calories as I approach maintenance, and it is difficult. Back on the wagon...I am glad I can…

Not too late! Glad you all are here. Good luck!

^^ Hello and welcome to the challenge. For those that asked, joining late is no big deal - happy to have you here.

^^ Wow, so glad all of you are here! And welcome back Karen ( @AR10at50 ) - good to have you along for another 12 weeks! Let's all keep the positivity and support going. We're all on individual journeys, but let's make this trip together.

Sure, that sounds good...I think that is what I meant too, just that Saturday 9/30 was the last "full day" of the challenge. So I think what you said is clearer - we would start/end on Sunday 10/1, with our weigh-in/check-in being the last report for this challenge, and the beginning of the next (with new goals, if people…

^^ Congratulations all - great week! (except for the barfing Karen...sorry about that) :#

@maryvbird - you're still doing great! We're into the the last week of this challenge...have a good week. (Where did everybody go??)

You have posted the same question in other threads. There is no way to diagnose what is going on with you on a community forum, and it is dangerous for anyone to suggest otherwise. There is a possibility that there is an underlying health issue causing this significant fluid retention. Please take the advice of many here…

@maryvbird - Way to go - you're almost there!

Yes, use the tools here on this site to input your starting weight, set your goal and calculate what your daily calories should be. Best wishes.

@CWShultz27105 - I think I do fairly well with setting goals and keeping them...even though I have lost and gained over the years, my diet has vastly improved through trial and error and finding what foods I feel best eating, and I have steadily become more active and enjoy it. I have the mindset now that this is the LAST…

Thank you - yes I am struggling with that as well. Wouldn't mind shaving off a few more pounds but also need to increase strength training so it is a major adjustment for me, and I don't want to go backwards. Hope you will be in for another 12 weeks as we finish this challenge in a few weeks. Have appreciated your upbeat…
