Welcome Bo and Kristine!!

I hope that you had a great time on your vacation, Kristine!! I bet that those vacation pounds will be gone in a couple of weeks.

I'm still a newbie to this maintaining thing( 4 months) and it feels like I'm walking in unchartered territory for me. While I still eat according to my plan, I do find myself being a bit more relaxed about my food. While I'm not losing, I'm also not gaining. So I guess that this is a good thing.

sorry..I couldnt figure out how to cut and paste (blonde to the roots...SIGH0

LOL Deborah!! I added you in and hope that in the next few weeks, you will learn how to copy and paste the list so that you can do your own updates!! Its really very easy once you can get someone to show you how to do it.

Hello Everyone,
May I please join in. I am still in premaintance and I do jump on my scale on a Monday so this works for me. I would like to lose some more weight but I like my tape measure more than the scale, it's just kinder to me.
here goes.

Count me in.....I've been faithfully fluctuating between 131-135 since I entered maintenance in Oct. 2005 and feel pretty stable at this point, but I started exercising again after taking a long break, and monitoring the scale more closely to see what happens.

In addition to posting weights, I'd be interested in hearing brief updates as to how each of our LC week went...whether you tried new foods, exercised, took a break, overindulged, etc.

Hi Lori-
I like that idea too. Anything for us to have a more active thread here and talk about some of this stuff.
I "broke" a CALP rule yesterday- had dessert without my RM and about 4 hours after dinner. Honestly- it wasn't that great and I could have done without it. Scale this am- 125. I weigh daily.
So it didn't affect me, but I will be strictly OP today.

Great idea Lori!!

I just wrote about this in my journal. I've been having a rough time with my food this week, not with offplan food but just genral overeating of legal stuff. I think that because I still log my food each day, that I was able to see this when I saw a 2 lb increase on the scale for 2 days in a row.

So Friday morning I took responsibility for my quantities and got back into my plan eating. I had been feeling very full all week and yet I kept over eating. I think that the blizzard was stressing me out as I was afraid of walking dogs and falling on the ice. I do tend to be a klutz on ice.

I too have gotten away from my pilates class and need to try to gte back to it. I'm going to try this week.

Thank you ,Judy....I will mess with the cut and paste thing at next weigh-in..I appreciate your patience.

If you can get a person there to actually show you, it'll be much easier for you to learn.

I will tell you that
1- if you know how to highlight text, I can then tell you the next step...which is to right click on the highlighted text and hit copy.
2-next step would be to bring your mouse to the place that you want to paste that text and right click a second time and this time hit paste

So...do you know how to highlight? Because if you don't, thats the part that you need to see in person as thats the part thats hard to explain for me. I'm blonde too but not from the roots!!

By the way. I had to learn this from a person online too...I had no idea how to do it either but once you know it, its very easy!!

I used to work for an online forum, explaining how to copy/paste was a very common duty of mine, LOL.

Here ya go:

1) "highlight" the text you want to copy by putting your cursor at the beginning of the text. Click your left mouse button, hold it down, and move your cursor over the text. When all of the text you want to copy is highlighted, take your finger off of the left mouse button.

2) With your cursor touching the highlighted text, click the right (not the left) button on your mouse. A menu will appear. Click "copy". (you can do this another way by clicking on the "edit" menu at the top of your screen and click on "copy")

3) Open up a new message reply window, put your cursor where you want the copied text to be. Right click, or click on the "Edit" button at the top of your screen. Click on "paste".

Thanks Lori!!!

Thank you Judy for this challenge. It’s just what I needed to help reach my goal. I’ve been maintaining +/- 170 lbs. for about 1 ½ years and believe me, it’s not always been easy. For your challenge, I’ve simply cut back on my portions and increased my fat a little. Seems to be working!

Why am I the only guy here???

Good luck to all.

Bo

Hey Bo!!

I'm glad that this has inspired you to take some action with your food plan!! As for y0u being the only guy.....I think that the ratio of men to women here on this forum is about 1 man for every 9 women so thats just about right. Mike/Dodger posted once to us here but I don't think that he'll be weighing in with us. I'm guessing that we'll get a few more men along the way. You can be our token guy for now!!
