no need for rocks in your pockets 

eh. you can pee and lose 2# man. king of maintenance. to the king.  

😂 I actually just have .4 to lose, One. My limit is 172 pounds. I'll probably be back in the reward zone tomorrow if I'm careful, which I will be. 

Just a little brick-work required; that's all! 👍👍 

I'm on it, sk! I've already logged my food for the day. Now I just hafta stick to the plan. 

I’m with you, Lonnie! I just lowered my RDI, so good luck to us both!! 💖🤜🏻🤛🏻 

Here’s a gentle tap... tap tap...☺️☺️ 

I log my food ahead too. I just hate going back and changing anything.  

Thanks for that tap, wifey. It's good to know you're still there watching me. 

I did well today, mountainman. I may need rocks in my pockets again in the morning. 🤞 

I find it much easier to plan out the whole day ahead of time, Carolyn. There's less chance of getting off track that way. 

I thought you had a 10 lb. Buffer. Looks like now that you've been under your goal for awhile that's your new normal 😊 You're doing a great job staying there.  

great! 

I drew the line at 172 pounds, Sherrye, so that my 10-pound buffer stays intact. Technically, my buffer is fully intact at 172.4, but I like whole, even numbers, so I rounded down to 172. Once I get above 172, I go back on my diet until I go back under 172. I've been calling that my reward zone. Just because I'm in my reward zone doesn't mean I run out and get a giant burrito. It just means I can relax some of my diet rules, like weighing and measuring my food, and logging everything I eat. It's a nice break not to have to do that, so I enjoy lingering in the reward zone. If I really, really want a giant burrito, I'll allow myself to have that too, but I'm being mindful, just like you so kindly warned me, that doing it too often defeats my goal of staying healthy. I'm trying to have the treats in moderation. 

Amazing approach Lonnie. I'm going to use this too.  

Be my guest, One! 👍 

I think I misunderstood your buffer before. I have been gravitating between my goal & 3 lbs. below. I feel happier these days if I'm below at least a lb. 😊 Anyway just an observation.  

I'm still making my plan up as I go, Sherrye, so I probably confused you at some point. With my latest adjustments, I like to have a full 10-pound buffer. My goal weight of 182.4 is the weight at which I have a normal BMI. I've drawn the line at 172, which is 10.6 under my goal weight (my buffer). Anything under 172 I don't worry about. As soon as I go over 172, I put myself back on my diet.
