Success/struggles of the week:
I did 3 pilates workouts this week. Yay! I went for a swim and did some water aerobics. That was so fun. Generally it was a very active week for me. I also took my mum on a couple of walks and now she wants to walk more too. My sister-in-law treated me to a relaxing spa day. It was sooooo relaxing and refreshing.
I've lost 1kg since last week. Even though it's higher than what I'd like it to be, I'm still not worried about it, yet. My muscles are aching and I think it's down to the pilates that I've been doing.2 -

Success/struggles of the week: Being new to maintenance, I am trying to find my new normal as far as calories are concerned, a common theme amongst new maintainers. Lowered my range to be under 140, was at that point a couple of days last week for no apparent reason and then down a bit but not at my lowest which was Thursday. Trying not to be too bothered by a 1-2 lbs. fluctuation.3 -

Success / struggles of the week : I just realized that i had about 10 lbs worth of fluctuations in June. Nothing much new this week. I might need a hip surgery to fix the damage from bike crash from over a year ago. It's been bothering me for a long time, went to see orthopedist and got an MRI. He can't do that procedure and referred me to other ortho dr. Will have a consult in a couple of weeks. Not happy about the whole thing. I would much prefer conservative treatment, phisical therapy, ice, ect to surgery. Doesn't seem like those will correct the damaged joint. Ugghh. Plus, there are some other findings from MRI that are worrisome. Gotta look into that as well. All good weight wise though, it's a plus. Happy 4th to all Americans!4 -
Name: Kathryn
Height: 5'3.5"
Total Weight lost: ~70 lbs (I dropped about 10 lbs below original goal)
Time it took to lose: 10 months (to original goal of 135)
How long in maintenance: I called maintenance in July 2016, but I have continued to slowly lose so I'm not really sure.
Maintenance weight range: I am going to go ahead and lower my range again. For now it will be 120 - 125 lbs

Average weight recorded from February: 126.5

Success/struggles of the week: I still seem to be slowly losing. I decided to go ahead and lower my range again. I feel good and I eat good so I don't think I need to gain any weight. I am running 4 days a week and doing yoga 5 days a week. I am just so much more active now than I was before I lost weight that I am able to eat more than I think I should for my height. I think some of my family members are finally realizing that I am not still trying to lose weight. I think for a while it seemed like I was exercising obsessively. But I only do about 30 minutes of yoga in the mornings and I usually run between 2.5 - 5 miles. I really don't feel like that is obsessive. I do think that this thread is helpful. Thanks again @fidangul.5 -

Successes/challenges of this week:
Successes:
- Started a more focused gym workout plan to target strengthening my lower back, and working on my core again. Seems do-able, and plan to hit it again today when I get to the gym.
- Finally got the raceboard out this week. My clocked 1 mile time wasn't the greatest (18:37), but it wasn't too bad either with the light chop and wind, especially after not being on the water with it in weeks. Now to start to paddle consistently again as I have a race in three weeks.
Challenges:
- Weight is trending up, and this was the first month since I started my weight loss journey in May 2016 that I logged a gain on the first of the month. I'm also at the upper end of my maintenance range today which I would blame on DOMS; however, my monthly measurements are also up, so it's time to really get serious with tightening up, and probably need to go back to a minor calorie deficit (preferably by working out more) to get back on track.
- I have been eating poorly for the past few weeks and not working out due to not feeling well (old lady issues/hormones), so it's not surprising that all my measurements went up. I really need to start preparing food weekly again, but have been lacking motivation. Time for me to figure out something to motivate me - I may need to get myself back into some old accountability threads.
- Maintenance is harder for me than losing as I just want to be a complete slug and slack off from doing what got me to goal. Need to treat this as a consistent/persistent journey instead of a target.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, like sign language) are the order of the day.
January avg weight: 126.8lbs
February avg weight: 126.1lbs
March avg weight: 124.6lbs
April avg weight: 122.9lbs
May avg weight: 123.4lbs
June avg weight: 122.6lbs
Week of...
30th June: 122.6lbs
7th July: 122.3lbs
Successes of the week:
Had a lovely anniversary dinner with hubby: white pizza with roasted veggies and prosciutto on the best crust, curry mayo and hand cut fries, and a salad with vinaigrette dressing and pumpkin seeds. Also went on a beautiful hike on the 4th. Had sweet potato chips, grilled corn, bell peppers, red onions, and Portobello mushrooms at our cookout. Not a low cal meal, but much lower than what I have had in the past!
Challenges of the week:
Still dealing with eating compulsions, as always. It’s amazing how easy self-justification and lying come to me, and how hard it is to say no to those urges or eat mindfully.

@MichSmish Like your new pic! Great job staying within maintenance!
Almost forgot to post this week.
117# again. Spent so much time south of this number that it feels high, yet it is still underweight for my height. Clothes still fit rather loosely at the same size I wore at 114#. Life is good.4 -

Today I deleted several days of data from Libra (daily logging app) to remove the ridiculous water weight numbers right after my trip. (I fluctuated up about 5 lb over my usual high.) They were just skewing the trend line too much, even after 3 weeks.
I had good workouts and good steps number this week!3 -

Successes- I cannot be more elated! As you can see, I did not weigh in the week of July 3. This is because I was on vacation in Orlando from July 1 to July 8. While there was a scale in the fitness center, since this is not the scale I've been using throughout, I did not want to skew my results. While I was able to maintain almost my entire workout regimen with some improvisation (did not have access to heavy dumbbells, so I used lighter ones and did more reps, etc.), I ate literally what I wanted with little to no planning ahead of time. This was including but not limited to pizza, pasta, candy, and a delicious ice cream sundae. Though I ate what I wanted, i did track everything. I was prepared to return from vacation 5-10 pounds heavier than when I left due to water retention from elevation change, increased carb intake, and sodium increase from eating out so much. I was so excited when I weighed in the day I returned to find that I had gained less than two pounds! So I essentially gained no weight, as I remained in my maintainence range and still account for some water weight! Couldn't be happier
Struggles-I returned from my vacation on Saturday the 8th and began a new job today the 10th. This will alter my routine as my job routines are different than my previous job, my commute is about 6x as long, and my schedule is different (8:30-4:30 vs 9-5). I will have to slightly alter my regimen in terms of times I can have snacks and my gym schedule as I am now getting home later after work (when I work out) than I had been previously. So today, I actually ended up having to alter my planned day as my orientation schedule did not allow for all of my snacking. So developing a new system will be a pain, but key to my success5 -

I did 3 pilates workouts this week. Yay! I went for a swim and did some water aerobics. That was so fun. Generally it was a very active week for me. I also took my mum on a couple of walks and now she wants to walk more too. My sister-in-law treated me to a relaxing spa day. It was sooooo relaxing and refreshing.
I've lost 1kg since last week. Even though it's higher than what I'd like it to be, I'm still not worried about it, yet. My muscles are aching and I think it's down to the pilates that I've been doing.

Lowered my range to be under 140, was at that point a couple of days last week for no apparent reason and then down a bit but not at my lowest which was Thursday. Trying not to be too bothered by a 1-2 lbs. fluctuation.

Success/struggles of the week: I keep struggling with the fact that everytime I get close to 55kg from gaining (which is fine weight) I have to lose it again. The lower I go, the less restless I feel in my mind. Hoping to find someone who can relate. A success is that it doesn`t bother me all of the time. Sometimes I just have to kick my own butt.3 -

Start of Apr-127.2
Start of May: 122.6
28 May-115.0-GOAL
Start of July-113.4
July 3-was away being very bad
July 8-114.4
Struggles: Was away with the in laws. While I did get in two runs, was otherwise terribly unhealthy. Sigh. It's what I do to cope with my dh family. Couple that with two long flight, I came back to a full 9 lbs of bloat. Totally sucked but I did manage to clamber back on the wagon
Successes: I got back on the wagon. I was able to bring weight back into check. I also introduced a new workout plan that I am excited about.
Upcoming week plan: staying on a 1200 cal plan until I am back around 113. Then I can bring it back up to maintenance. Do my 5 miles a day, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks get back into running plan. Incorporate my a** and abs challenge daily. Glad to be refocusing.2 -
Success/struggles of the week:
Only positive, is that I did 1 hours worth of outdoor cycling. I hadn't done so in years (excluding spin classes). Everything else is BAD. I now definitely need to get my act together. I'm 5kgs above my average from this time last year.
I am really struggling, too! *hugs*

Struggles: the effects of 4th of July celebrations presented itself on the scale. Enjoyed every morsel though. Did not log what I ate at these events and went way over caloric goal.
Successes: had only one alcoholic drink at each event and substituted water or non caloric drinks for the other one or two I would have had in the past.5 -

Week of (I weigh for the record on Fridays)...:

7th July: 139.6lbs
14th July: 138.2lbs (what?!)

28th July:
Successes/struggles of the week: Not sure what's gone on this week!? I'm not deliberating cutting back on my calories (although I have been trying the whole 'not logging' thing again this past week or so - so I don't actually know how many calories I've been eating) and I've not done any more exercise than usual, but I've been weighing in at under 139lbs all week - which is unusually consistently low for me.
I've been making sure to keep my protein up, especially at lunchtime, and have been feeling so full as a result that I've not been having one of my regular snacks in the afternoon - so maybe it's that?! Or perhaps nerves and stress ('cos there's been a heck of a lot of that again this week
) make you burn more calories in general (is that even a thing?)!?!
Anyway - I'm not complaining - I like my food far too much to ever have to worry about going below my maintenance range (not sure I even really need a lower limit to be honest!) and a little drop will only serve to give me a bit more wiggle room when I go on holiday in a couple of weeks time.
Hope you all are having a good week.5
