"Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith About me: 61, 5'7", in maintenance 125-129 since March this year. Serial loser and regainer of 20 and determined not to slide back up this time. Round 46 report: Not a bad round, some faith-building workouts including more…

Didn't stop to rest at Buckleberry Ferry... but then neither did Frodo, Sam, and Pippin. 2.5 miles on the elliptical today, and now only 2.8 miles to Crickhollow.

In, of course. Thanks for continuing to welcome maintainers too! This thread is how I got into maintenance and I still get so much value out of hanging with you guys! @puttyputty love that great mental space, @SheilaBoneham what beautiful flowers, @grandmajackie thanks for the thread, @tiabirdie56 such emoji fun!

Whew I am so sorry you are going through this Coach Jen, and I have a huge amount of respect and appreciation for the self-honesty it takes to put this out here. The rules sound exhausting. The ED part, purging and over-exercising, sounds risky. I appreciate that counseling is expensive; some employers have a 6-session…

Ran to gym and ran on treadmill with walk breaks - 5 miles total, now it's 2.3 miles to the Buckleberry Ferry!

I can eat a little of whatever I want any time, some of what I want much of the time, and all of whatever I want once in a while and still meet my goal of maintaining weight. I don't have any rules about good food or bad food, but I have to watch calories or I will gain. I have proved that. I am determined NOT to yoyo…

@quiltingjaine at home strength workouts can be done with a minimal investment in an exercise ball, a non-slip yoga mat, and a set of resistance bands. Squat? step on the bands, squat, pull the handles up behind your shoulders, go. Or, put the ball between you and the wall and roll it down as you squat. Rows or pulldowns,…

61 here, lost the weight I planned to during the past months and currently in maintenance. Not sure it was actually harder than when I was younger, but I can say I feel like I don't want to do it again, so I am still here weighing and measuring and logging and working out and being accountable to myself for my daily…

it is 100% normal for your weight to fluctuate all day based on hydration level, etc. I would say that this one blows that old wives tale about how coffee dehydrates you right out of the "water" lol! Weight goes up and down ... a lot ... pay attention to the calories in and out, and the weight takes care of itself ((hug))

@81meg1L my weight-loss-and-maintenance life changed when I started keeping track of my 10 day challenge average weights. Through all the daily ups and downs I could see the pattern emerge, and the pattern was, most 10 days the scale went down. Now in maintenance I don't worry about being back up 2 pounds (like today)…

@mazcor536 welcome to maintenance!! I found this thread when I was brand new to maintenance too and it has really been a help. @Jimb376mfp your loss is a total inspiration!! good for you, impressive work.

If you take virtual hugs from women your mom's age, you get one for that. There is no need to beat yourself up. Our inner critics can turn vicious when we're already down, but a breakup is about a mix that isn't working not about who's right or wrong. Looking at what happened can be helpful or it can just suck you back…

2.1 mile walk Thursday night and 4.2 mostly run today. 8.3 miles to the edge of Farmer Maggot's field.

If you are a Tolkien fan check out the Walk to Mordor phone app and the Walk to Mordor challenge here on the message boards. It's a cool way to motivate ourselves to move. I am almost to the edge of Farmer Maggot's field .... long way to Mordor still... And welcome, and best of wishes with your weight loss. I too have…

@Rachelmilloy thank you for your feedback and encouragement on the sugar-mood issues. Still observing this one, doubt if I will ever let go of it completely because just too much joy in the sweets... @kgirlhart and @HarperAnn6 I totally get fear of regaining, I am was a yoyo who gained and lost the same 15-25 pounds so…
