This goal helped me transition into maintenance smoothly two months ago. I have always failed at maintenance. So, I'm thrilled that this is working! I want to keep it going through month 3.

November goals: maintain below 83kgs, fill out MFP each day

1: 81.55, MFP

I’m really hoping for more than that, but I need to start small. I’ll set a second goal if I get there

Sigh. 83.05 is a very annoying number when the goal is to maintain below 83. I had several off-days, but I got back on track on Monday and I'm confident this will be a temporary glitch.

Edited 15-Nov: That got fixed fast! However, I think today's weight mostly reflects dehydration following a visit to my brother's hot tub.

November goals: maintain below 83kgs, fill out MFP each day

1: 81.55, MFP
2,3,4,5: MFP
6: 82.0, MFP
7,8,9,10,11,12: MFP
12: 83.05, MFP
13,14: MFP
15: 81.4, MFP

loss: 8.5lb

so, a major milestone for me today - I have reached my goal weight !!

it's taken me about 2.5 years, but I've lost 93lb & I'm now a whisker into the "normal" BMI range, for probably the first time in my adult life. obviously I didn't have a clue how much of me there would be left at this weight, but there's still a fair bit of belly, so I'm going to aim for another ~15lb of loss & then reassess then.

I've revised my goals on MFP because I have probably been losing weight a bit too fast for the last few months - I was on 1,500cal/day - which is a 700-900 daily deficit - & an even bigger deficit when I was exercising because I wasn't eating my "exercise calories "on top of my allowance. MFP is now giving me 1,800cal/day which seems a bit more sensible.

anyway, I'm delighted & am going to go & poke another new hole in my belt.

In fact, I started losing weight in early fall and I am very happy that I am already making my dream come true. I've already come a long way, but I haven't fully achieved what I dream of, so I'm still working on myself. And on my journey to the body of my dreams, training, properly selected supplements from Canadian Pharmacy Online, and of course a balanced diet help me the most. More to come!
