Success/struggles of the week: I have set a "goal" of 115 -- not there yet, but this morning I hit 120.9 and I think that while I'm still trying to lose five more pounds, for a cushion, I am pretty much where I want to be. This feels amazing!!

I've lost the birthday bloat! Today's weigh in was actually the lowest I've had in 2 months. The mirror has been telling me that I've lost a little bit, despite the scales, so now we know. My plan is to keep it tight for the next 4 weeks, hopefully to give myself a little latitude for our big trip in June.
This is the April thread too, but I wanted to copy it into the May thread so I'll have it handy next week.2 -

Now that I'm home I couldn't resist jumping on the scale. Even though I still have a lot of bloatedness, and my doctor says that it'll take a couple of weeks more for the retaining water go, I'm within my range. So YAAAAY!
It my mum's birthday today so I'm planning to have a huge slice of cake!!!
Thankyou all so much (from previous thread) for you best wishes. It was very uplifting and kept me thinking positively.
Also, on Thursday I am celebrating my 1st year of maintenance and also 2 years of logging on to MFP.
It's a huge fitvessary for me!7 -

Success/struggles of the week: I decided to go ahead and drop my maintenance range from 128 +/- 2 to 126 +/- 2 so my range will be 124 - 128. I think this weight is good for me and I think I am maintaining here. I guess we will see. I have been consistently coming in under my previous range last month so I thought I would see how it goes this month.7 -

Success/struggles of the week: It's been a while since I've checked in, but I haven't had anything new/noteworthy to report.

I'll be browsing Google and the message boards for ideas.3 -

Name: Jen
Age: 45
Height: 5'2.5"
Total Weight lost:140lbs
Time it took to lose: 2.75yrs
How I lost it: My story
How long in maintenance : I declared it at 140 in January 2016, but that was too high for a petite lady. Redeclared it 4/14/17.
Maintenance weight range: Would like to stay under 125 at morning weigh-in.
Ongoing struggle: I still need to learn to trust my body cues, be content with eating just enough, and stop asking food to be more than just fuel. Life after work is just filled with getting steps and eating food to fill my evening. Really need to make peace with having fewer cals to work with. Contentment and an attitude of gratitude (and maybe a hobby) are the order of the day.

Success of the week: Made some decent food choices, like getting yogurt at a grocery store instead of going to a restaurant
Challenges of the week: Looking back, I now realize that my meteoric rising weight this month was more than just glycogen, but due to having more variables than I realized (bad diary entries, unknown Fitbit burn accuracy, water retaining tea, etc) I can't definitively point to the culprit. So I am going to hit reset and clean up my data sources, then try again.

Success/struggles of the week: Urgh. I missed one of my workouts this week, due to the Bank Holiday Monday, but I can't blame that for the rise in this week's weight - I know I loosened my grip on my snacking this week..... and it appears it hasn't worked out well!!! I've been 142lbs for the last 3 consecutive days now, so I know it's not just a temporary fluctuation (it's rare for me to be exactly the same weight 2 days on the trot even!). So - it's 'Action Stations' for me - I'm going to rein it in, lower my intake for a little while and try to get towards the middle/lower end of my happy weight range while I'm at it. I'm not going to rush back into logging all my calories just yet - I need to see if I can do this intuitively - but I am going to have to watch out for that snacking monster if this 'not logging' business is going to work for me.
Hope you all had a good week

28th May:
Success/struggles of the week: About a pound of that weight loss is water weight from starting blood pressure medication, but another pound is from diet and exercise. I am happy with how my body looks and feels, but I'm going to see if my blood pressure is happier with a lower weight. So I am going to head over to one of the loss check-in threads for a couple months.3 -
