@puddlegoober said "a quick self-reflection put things squarely into focus; this is why I weigh myself every morning, and why I post here every morning. This is just information..." YOU ARE SO VERY RIGHT. This is information, not a reward or punishment. You are doing great and I appreciate your voice here!

I think I figured out my biggest obstacle to maintaining weight, which is what I am now trying consciously to do WELL for the first time. I lose my 20 pounds again, and that's exciting because I feel successful and have agency and a goal and look a little better to myself all the time. Rewarding. I get to maintenance. I…

When I first started, in my first "introducing myself" post I made some friends. It seemed like the very very first batch of friends I made were people who reached out specifically because they were brand new too. Sadly, as with any venture, many brand new people don't stick with it ... or don't stick with it the very…

Lenie, you and me both!! See my similar post a few above yours ... I think it has to do with the relief of stress after a lovely, very active, but at times stressful vacation ... Kindof like a kid seeing their mom after day care and suddenly bursting into tears ... or maybe it's that the thing I had been both dreading and…

Oh and @RandJ6280 Nice to see you here and Welcome!

I am REALLY NEW to maintaining and kind of afraid. My pattern before is, I get ALMOST to my goal of 130, don't look or feel as "pretty" as I want (as in, still fluffy and floppy), determine to exercise more, get discouraged or get injured, stop logging, and regain that 15-20 pounds. I have done this three times on MFP, and…

61 here, lost the 20 I needed to (Again! And for the last time!) between October '17 and March '18, brand new to maintenance but just held my own on a 2 week vacation with no scale. Slow is super smart because then you just ease into maintenance with some habits that work longer term -- I HOPE! I am still logging and will…

I couldn't agree more, I have always been a daily weigher but I followed what I saw others do on the challenge, and kept my 10 day rolling averages. Those helped me have a sense of progress in spite of the normal, daily ups and downs.

Ginger tea is my savior for nausea. And OP, like many others have said, you can't wreck this in a day. Go on, go easy on yourself, make it sustsinable.

OP, I have a "meal" logged of individual components on mfp for my local mex chicken enchiladas which I order with no cheese no sour cream, and it dings me about 500 cals - completely survivable and my go to. Alternatively, enjoy and log as best you may :)

Lucky you ... just came back from my first trip to NM - it will NOT be my last, adored the food and fell in :heart: with green chile sauce.
