Thanks @quiltingjaine , it does take time, doesn't it? Here I sit at 20BMI, a squinch under my original goal weight, practicing maintenance, and still seeing some of the behaviors that can make me regain. Watching daily helps, but I'd like habits that would be more sustainable. I am working and practicing to find that…

Couple of walks in the last few days, late evenings are good for this in the hot weather. In 1.6 miles I will see elves...

You may or may not have this type of store where you are, but we would be sad without our local grocery outlet. The food they sell can vary a lot from visit to visit, and it's a bit of an investment of time to learn what they do well and what may be less successful, but we routinely get inexpensive eggs, canned beans,…

I decided to count my elliptical miles as well as run and walk-for-exercise miles. (I am worried, however, that Mordor will run the whole world by the time I get there). So therefore, 2 miles yesterday and 4.9 miles till I see the pointy little ears of the wood-elves traveling in the Shire...

@puddlegoober I "get" vacations that aren't really all that much of a break and I "get" knee issues too. Welcome home!

I hear you saying that your lifestyle (doing everything for others) HAS to be sustainable because it's what you have chosen, what's culturally acceptable, and what's expected by others in your life. Your body is telling you it's not sustainable though. Telling you loud and clear. Great suggestions here - MORE CALORIES (and…

@naturalmermaid, try eating back half, or all, or none; if you're low on energy, get poor workouts, or lose unexpectedly fast, eat more. If you're not losing as you expect, eat less :) Personally I am a fan of eating, and I love cardio, and running is harder if I'm low on calories. Now in maintenance, I eat 'em all back -…

There are groups for anxiety and depression, its finding one with enough traction to stay active thats the trick. Try searching the groups section for things like mental health. Good luck. You are not alone.

...although most of the road to Mordor was not strewn with fun things lol! Yet I agree...

I encountered the Black Rider! 6.9 miles to meet the elves. The road goes ever on and on....

I am right with you! Only maintaining for a few months here, and at 5'7" 128 I still have a tummy roll that's wider than my road bike tire, and at 61 plenty of crepey skin... so the "feeling pretty" part has been slow for me. I still do "feel fat" and see the flaws and have a hard time accepting that in maintenance I don't…

^^This. I see me in the behavior you describe, OP. I am aware that end-of-stress for me, the eating to come down off the stress or reward myself fr handling it or deal with the residual thoughts of OMG did-I-handle-that-OK is a huge pattern. I am one who doesn't gain while on vacation, I gain when I go home. The idea of…

Yes, since yesterday afternoon. And there is now (finally, I have been watching as I troubleshoot) a thread in the Fitbit Group on that. Nothing in known issues on help yet.
-
Yes, since 6/16 at about noon Pacific time. Not that I am completely obsessive about my fitbit sync. Or dependent on it to know how much to eat. Or anything.

@tiabirdie56 @SheilaBoneham I totally get this, and applaud your goals. It's YOUR body and life, YOU get to make the goals and decide when you're done. Great job so far ladies and go for it!
-
You can do this. This site is all about awareness of what we are consuming and what impact that has on our weight. Go through the process of setting your current weight and activity level and your loss goal (like, 1 lb/week) and then log what you eat. Weight loss is mostly about what we eat; exercise improves our strength…

@back2cute and @troutt3677 do not be discouraged, weight loss is not linear and after initial larger losses it is NORMAL to stall out for a while. Let your accomplishment be what you are doing every day with food and exercise, and the scale will move. As my hubs always says when I'm antsy, You know how you get patience?…

I can relate to so much of this! I might have several biggest struggles ... Struggle to even WANT to use the extra calories I get in maintenance and from exercise for anything except the calorie dense over-eating trigger treats that will get me yoyoing again if I suddenly can't exercise... Struggle to do even the most…
