Sounds like a good plan MT! 

That’s the way, Melissa 👍🏻👍🏻 

Mine too but one foot at a time for me. 

I hear you. I can weigh a couple times a week like my nutritionist wants but only when weight is on or below target weight. When I start creeping up I start weighing daily. Do what works best for you and you'll have success. Always here for you! 💜💜 

You are sure starting with a good number. Way to go 

Thank you so much Erika and Eva! ❤️caraken, yes, that is what we have to do... Just one foot in front on the other! 👣 Diana, sometime I seem to manage just fine weighing less frequently, and sometimes weighing daily and recording just helps me keep accountable better. I wish I was just stronger about having self control. It is just so darn easy to slip and slide rather than climb! Liv, I've lost muscle this winter... So the amount of lard I'm carrying now is super disappointing, but thank you! We all trudge Onward! 😁  

Onward indeed! Except I keep sliding back down the slippery slope. Time to get a grip and move forward every day instead of 2 or 3 times a week. Glad you're back, we can do this! 💖 

Yay!!!! I’m v be a k to it too!!! We got this!! 

I feel that logging actually makes our journey easier. I thinks it helps us to achieve consistent results without thinking so much. Most of us are poor at judging how many calories we consume or burn daily. I don't feel any shame in using my maintenance crutch. It could be one less thing to stress about. GOD bless!!! 

John, you are the maintenance king 👑!  

Outstanding Melissa! 

Thank you, Shir! Somehow the longer we are working at this the easier it is to say "tomorrow." We have had so many yesterdays on this journey. We know things don't change overnight.... But they never change if we are working hard 😁 

We can do it, kawiener! John, you have so much experience and wisdom to share... You are the maintance king for sure. 😊💙 Thank you br_e_co! I need you guys, mermee, so it is a darn good thing I've found you! ❤️  

Yes!! 

Please forgive me Melissa. I forgot to acknowledged your outstanding loss. Please charge it to my head and not to my heart. Congrats on your huge drop!!! 

Thank you, Hanako! I've got so much work to do, Petra, but thank you for being a dear, Dear! ❤️  

Oh, John! Goodness, I don't deserve "acknowledgment." Had I not gained, I wouldn't have needed to lose... Still need to lose. But, thank you, kind sir! You know me... I'll keep fighting... Trying to follow you. 👣 I wish things were easier, but I'm really glad I can be here, and I'm so incredibly grateful for the support and help. My girl is doing better this week. ❤️ Truely, it makes the world seem a sunny place filled with hope and no need to senselessly turn to food when I absolutely should not. It is a better week! ❤️🙏❤️  

I am so glad to know that your daughter is doing better, Melissa!  

Wow! Great drop, and I am SO happy your kiddo is doing a better this week.  

Nice drop M🙌🏽, you're crushing it💪🏾🥗.
