"Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith My habit of logging here is working as well in maintenance as it did while losing. Wishing everyone a god round! Round 42 GOAL = Log every day. Get 5 cardio workouts. Get 5 mini strength workouts. 6/7 - 126.4 - whoosh of -2…

That right there is what this group helped me learn. Struggles and starting over (every five minutes if I have to) are part of the process. Weight loss is not linear and it pays to know a blip from a trend. NO DAY IS PERFECT, but all days teach something if we're listening. :heart: to alla y'all!

And @puddlegoober , ANY TIME. You have been a big encourager in turn :smiley: so thanks for that!

@evivahealth @puddlegoober @tiabirdie56 @MadisonMolly2017 @grandmajackie @quiltingjaine I have been here maintaining since I switched over sometime in last March ... I never asked if it was okay. I just stayed :innocent: Please stay too when you get into maintenance, we neeeeeeeed each other (sorry was that too creepy?)

@marcvb35 yeah me too in the 2 lbs overnight club. SMH, bodies are a mystery...

I am counting intentional walk/run miles, and got stalled somewhere in the Shire by some knee problems. Picked up my knapsack today and ran 1.25, so glad to be back at it! In 15 miles, I meed the dreaded Black Rider... :fearful:

Charge 2 for 5 months, they are spendy for my budget but I have been very happy with it. I wear it 24x7 except in the shower, set mfp to sedentary, sync from fitbit, eat my calories, lost my last 8 lbs and now maintain. Burn is pretty dead on for me at 1600-2200 depending on the day (desk job). I like the relax feature,…

Me too, thanks for this thread and the group.

... Anxiety here too, and mild depression at times. Some situational from a family thing, most just me and my brain lol.

That's the trick, isn't it... motivating to do what helps when it feels like it won't help. Glad I found this during an insomniac browse. Your goal sounds great, @skigal303

We get good at kitchen math here.

Weight loss is all about eating less. Log every bite every day. Do that till you don't mind doing it any more. Gym is great for getting stronger and more fit, but as they say... "you can't out-train a bad diet".
-
So you try again, and lose a little weight, and give up trying because it's too hard or whatever reason you tell yourself, and you gain that weight back. Suppose that takes, for example, two months. What results will you get if you just spend that two months overeating, instead of trying to learn to lose weight and keep it…

In again, of course. Would not miss it.

I have heard that using phone emoticons that don't translate well on the website breaks the post right there... maybe that?

OP, I had those same fears about going into maintenance because I felt I had not succeeded at keeping my weight in maintenance before. I have been in maintenance for 2-3 months now and succeeding, and you will too. I still log daily and do a lot of the other things that made my loss successful. I have come to realize that…

It is so much easier when you are doing it together!! My hubs has never needed to lose weight (unlike me) but he is super supportive. We plan dinners together by how much of a workout can happen (long run, pasta with pesto or homemade pizza; knee hurting, spaghetti squash and marinara...) When I cook I make sure he gets…

I was looking for the June thread and cannot find?

You know what's going on, that's great! Like @thebestyear2017 said, "diets" as in restrictive lists and plans to adhere to, do not work. But the good news is, if you eat fewer calories than your body requires, you WILL lose weight. You cannot help it. Science works :) So how many calories is that? The recommendation of My…

Altra brand shoes coined the term - running shoes with heel and toe at the same height for injury prevention and a more natural stride. Altras work for me like keto does for you :wink: and so comfy! Not making much of a fashion statement though :grimace:
