So for me long term I want to be able to travel a lot, and I don't maintain healthy weight with few lbs up and down but I want to have consistency in how I eat. Eat when hungry. Eat a lot of fresh fruit veggies. Eat not too much. Just forget about it all(and I am not saying that's what you are suggesting but this is what I…

I love this topic, however I don't think there is one size fits all, or one approach fits every vacation I looked at MFP history and it was clear to me that my ups and downs were mainly around holiday/vacation eating at least from 2011 to 2015. Before that I pretty steady maintained. We just started going to a lot more…

It doesn't work for everyone. Some people hate numbers, get way to obsessed about being perfect (happens to any type of weight loss, not only cico) some aren't honest when tracking and underestimate! What I would say is for me CICO is like budgeting money Some people have great income (or calorie burn, as athletes) and…

you have been hitting your maintenance according to MFP or some form of fitness tracker? My maintenance is between 300 and 600 more than what mfp predicts as I am active. 300 winter, 600 warmer months
-
for me it would be 5 years maintaining. However right now you made it! There isn't end point of weight loss, once you lose it you need to find way to keep it off.

i eat a lot of watermelon in the summer! It's my ice cream! 500g is 150 calories, and a lot of food! Much better than bananas

Low carb suit many, just not me, but it's worth exploring. Please do add me if you wish, I am active user and will do my best to be good support :)

I don't low carb but here are my answers canned and frozen veggies are perfectly fine, look at content to see what's added if anything fish, chicken, eggs, greek yoghurt, shellfish, beef, pork - source of protein. You can add legumes and beans but they don't have that much I don't have my dairy open, and I don't low carb.…

I would feel drained if I live on shakes all day. Is it possible to have proper food instead of shakes? I had shake for breakfast today as I was on the go all morning and it was perfectly fine but I would be drained if I had one for lunch too! Plus my energy is better if I have solid breakfast and lunch zuzka bunny slope…

fruit is nature's candy!

Fitbit was freakishly accurate for me! I calculated 100 days of tracking, the deficit calories /7700, expected vs actual weight loss! It came that Fitbit overestimated about 30 calories a day, probably me forgetting little drop of milk in my coffee sometimes! I lost the weight I was hoping to. But I am not arguing that it…

How awesome! well done
-
start doing the things, and the motivation will come! Motivation isn't realizable, you need to make decision on what habits will you commit to and get on with it. Often motivation comes after you start doing the things example = don't feel like workout, get to the gym, 5 minutes after I start working out I feel on fire!
-
A lot! You need a good strategy to limit the damage
-
Put your weight up and put them in correct order. 8kg does not go to the 25 kg slot! Clean after yourself. Use it and move on. The equipment aren't there so you can have 30 minutes selfie session or chit chats.
-
People say it isn't but it was spot on for me. I reviewed 100 days of data and the expected weight loss matched the actual weight loss
-
let it go, focus on sustainability and adopt small improvements very very slowly! Like add 500 or 1000 steps a day. Don't go crazy and burn yourself out - slow does it!
-
5 for me.

After few years of up and down weight I decided that I will focus on the lowest weight I can happily maintain. It isn't as low as I was hoping it will be. But I can't go on trying to hard and not being able to sustain it again I read this quote and it was life changing for me! I am at my best weight. I have been lower…

would you consider getting some form of resistance strap, cheaper equivalent of TRX? They are great to get quick 20 minutes workout when travel Come up with realistic plan to allow you to enjoy yourself holiday but still feel good when your return Keep active, keep your steps up high to enjoy extra few calories Eat your…

Bit of both. Cut 200/300 calories. Move 30 minutes more! easy.

The only thing I gave up is trying to like kale and sweet potatoes! I haven't looked backed at all :smiley: No more sweet potatoes or kale in this house!

Love your post few to add * that counting calories isn't really that big of a deal and if you find it easy, you don't have to stop doing it. It's like budgeting - you may end up enjoying the feeling that you know where are you at * that things change and what suits you now may not suit you in few months and there is not…

I kept believing that keeping fit is hard and dieting is hard. I lost it few times but I regaining it. I guess in the past I always believed that I am someone who will always find it hard I turned out, it doesn't have to be hard at all. Wonderful discovery! I stopped holding on to this belief and it became easy for me
-
very worthy goal, good luck with it! And well done for reaching your goal weight Your plan sounds good
-
Hi! I had a similar situation with my husband 2015! How wonderful he made it trough I am in maintenance now but still very active, I am posting photo diary of my meals/picture from my walk daily until my vacation in 36 day! Add me

It's natural to worry. 6 months ago I had a lot of anxiety over weight maintenance as it is new phase and require different mindset and adjustment. I regained few times before and this time it was really important for me! Take it slow, keep an eye on the scale, set a range of at least 4 lbs and if you go above that review…

log it and move on. I would cut calories only if there is weight creep up week later.

American/Thai?

I lost weight eating about 50% carbs so it's not really issue for most people, as long as you keep an eye on daily total food intake and keep an eye on your weight. You can start slowly, keep an eye on the scale and adjust Well done for reaching your goals!
