Good morning. Lovely morning, off for an easy hike with the hike club this morning. About 5 miles, in the foothills and not to steep. Should be marvelous.

Today's weight 142.8

Feeling pretty stable. Continuing to try to muster the nerve to inch it back up to 150.

How are you doing?

Highest weight: 335 lbs, BMI 50.9

122.5 Seriously? I don't understand it but there it is. I seem to still be losing a pound or two a month. BMI is at 21.7 so I guess that's good, but I'm really stumped. I didn't expect this to happen. I really thought I would hit 145 and then struggle to stay there. I can't wrap my head around trying to gain. I'm too early (only 8 mos.) into maintenance to mentally even grasp that concept. I'll take it as long as I don't go under 120 in the next few months - sooo Woo Hoo, I guess! Thanks for letting me talk it out here.

You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!

I hear ya! My surgeons goal for me was 145. Dipped below that, but I also feel like it's too early into maintenance to play the "maybe I should regain some weight" game. I changed my goal range because of it and have been working on staying within the 5 lb range I set. As long as I'm still in normal BMI (though, I admittedly think its a crock of ****) the docs are happy, so I'm happy.

Disclaimer: if at any point I feel like it's a problem I will do what's necessary to up the weight.

Good morning.

127.2

I'm working in the Horticulture center garden this morning. Yesterday was the Food bank garden. 've been working 4 mornings in other gardens, and fit my own vegetable gardening in on the alternate days.

Does anyone else have a vegetable garden?

I had one this spring but the 100 degree heat has sucked the life out of it. That really sounds like fun. I think gardening is therapeutic. I plan to have a fall garden this year as well. Have fun playing in the dirt!...

My mom and I have a pretty massive garden every year. I mainly jus****er it, she does the hard work... LOL. Though I have been known to go weed/pick things when the urge strikes.

But I reap the benefits of the zucchini, eggplant, onions, green beans, broccoli, green peppers and tomatoes. The hot peppers are for my dad, I leave those alone... Evil, spicy vessels of doom as far as I'm concerned.
