At least that is better than gaining, Ian, and you now know how to maintain, which is the hardest part of weight loss, I have found over the years!My weight chart shows what someone maintaining their weight, not losing it, looks like. Haven't done very well lately.

Yay, another 2lbs off - that is fabulous. It is hard to balance increased exercise performance with weight loss, especially muscle building. I think adding in as much more protein as you can, may help. If you go to a gym and if there is a trainer there who is knowledgeable about these things, they would probably be able to give you some great pointers. Let us know what you find out, I would be very interested, too.I weigh every day, which can be unnerving. Still, I feel the need to do it…for now. I’m down 2 pounds for a total loss of 80. I haven’t reached my goal weight yet, but am close. Right now I want to focus on building muscle and core strength, though. I think my calories are too low. Need to increase them.
I'm right in that zone as well. Maintaining is not necessarily a bad thing. I think of it as stableizing before continuing the journey.My weight chart shows what someone maintaining their weight, not losing it, looks like. Haven't done very well lately.

Thanks, but I'm not at a weight that I want to maintain.At least that is better than gaining, Ian, and you now know how to maintain, which is the hardest part of weight loss, I have found over the years!
Maybe I should think of it that way too.I'm right in that zone as well. Maintaining is not necessarily a bad thing. I think of it as stableizing before continuing the journey.
Oh no! That is a nuisance - can you go swimming instead or does cycling bother it at all? It is hard to keep the calories low once you have lost a significant amount of weight because our TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) goes down considerably.My knee (2 yr old torn meniscus) has been bothering me lately…..this does not fit into my fitness plan. Oh boy. I may need to keep my calories low, if I can’t do cardio.
Yay - well done on a great loss this week, Miss Muffett - and for remembering to weigh, even if you did forget to post here!I remembered to weigh myself on Friday morning but then forgot to post it on here lol! I lost 1.6lbs this week!
I have a meniscus tear on my right knee @Prancy as well. Wakes me up in the night! I’ve ordered a tens machine as my last one has stopped working and it really helped, along with this physio on YouTube with a great set of exercises for a meniscus tear that have really helped me.
I’ll try the exercises! Thanks for that video! PT has helped me before…quite a bit. I’ve had ITBS too. Also, my Primary recommended a piece of equipment to for my knee at the gym, that until now has really helped. It’s like I need that exercise, for my knee, every 2 days, apparently. When I miss, it acts up. And, I was thinking of getting a tens unit. Will do it soon!I remembered to weigh myself on Friday morning but then forgot to post it on here lol! I lost 1.6lbs this week!

Swimming is an option, but it brings issues. I could swim at the gym pool, but I wear an insulin pump that has a built-in cgm.( Medtronic 780)I can remove it for short periods of time, but it has to stay near me, so I have to figure a way to secure it safely near my pool lane, ensuring it doesn’t get stepped on, wet, etc. While I’m swimming. It’s just a hassle I was trying to avoid. Plus, I color my hair and have to get into a cap….just a lot of extra work. Right now, I’m very busy at work, while trying to do increased care for my senior parents. Mom is suffering hip issue rught now. But, eventually, the swimming is a great idea. I love swimming. I swam in college and have some since then. I’ll need to figure out the pool situation at some point though. It’s a great exerise. Thanks for the suggestion.Oh no!
