  • @jerier hugs to you. It is hard to stop the ocean liner when it is headed for the iceberg... And hard to change direction when your mates are so used to listener-you. Take care of yourself, maybe think in terms of paring it down to the very least you have to do for anyone until you are more restored? It's frustrating but…

  • @denswrex @quiltingjaine Another vote here for tracking those 10 day averages. Doing that REALLY helped me see progress, lose concern about the standard +-2.5 pounds thing that my body likes to do, and understand and SEE when in maintenance I really had a gain going on, versus when it was just the standard ups and downs in…

  • 1.4 walked yesterday, 8.9 to the grumpy vindictive tree. The maths went wrong somewhere between Crickhollow and the Willow but I'm not concerned. Trudging on.

  • @abowersgirl like @denswrex I use protein bars as a "harm reduction" type treat, and they don't seem to creep on me too much. When I was in a deficit I always saved about 200 cal for a night time treat and it was often such a bar. Also I run and am otherwise active, and eat mostly vegetarian so getting protein is something…

  • Update 24th: Still learning how my body responds to overages in maintenance. Had a pretty active day yesterday and bam, weight back to 126.0. While losing I was accustomed to those bounces, knew it was just "used food" I was carrying around etc, but somehow in maintenance that 2 pounds up is terrifying. There's no reason…

  • Yes to what everyone says. I tried all sorts of snake oil before I found MFP, and the guidelines here (and my Fitbit, TBH) make it easy. Eat less, move more, and use MFP and a food scale to track the eats. It's easy and it's free and it works, no snake oil required.
