    Success: A very small weight loss this week. We're spending a quiet holiday week-end at home. Smoke from the wildfires plus temps in the 90s here in Oregon mean I do my outside exercise early in the morning.

    Struggles: I've gone back to an 18:6 intermittent fasting schedule and keeping a close eye on the number of carbs I eat. The last of the summer's corn-on-the-cob is so tempting!

    Success/struggles of the week: Success was dropping back down to 133 and then 131.8 the past two days. :) Back on the right track! Struggle was fitting in as much exercise as I would have liked since I had extra stress and busyness this week but low energy!

    Total Weight lost: 4 stone (56lbs)
    Height: 5ft 6in
    Time it took to lose: 16 months
    How long in maintenance: 1 year 3 months
    Maintenance weight range: 137 - 140lbs (lowered from 142lbs in June)

    Average weight recorded for January: 141.9lbs
    Average weight recorded for February: 141.2lbs
    Average weight recorded for March: 141.2lbs
    Average weight recorded for April: 140.8lbs

    Average weight recorded for June: 139.7lbs
    Average weight recorded for July: 139.8lbs
    Average weight recorded for August: 144.4lbs

    Week of (I weigh for the record on Fridays)...:
    25th August (for ref): 146.6lbs
    1st Sept: 145.8lbs
    8th Sept: 146.0lbs
    15th Sept:
    22nd Sept:
    29th Sept:

    Successes/struggles of the week: I'm happy with the scale number this week - even though it hasn't gone down since last Friday - because it doesn't tell the whole story! After the excesses of last weekend, I weighed in at 148.6lbs on Monday - the highest I've ever been since getting to my goal weight, so, as you can imagine, I wasn't very happy!! I feel I lot better having at least got back to my post-holiday level. I'm liking being more instinctive about my eating and so I'm resisting going back to logging my CICO again at the moment, but in my head I've given myself 5 weeks to get back to being under 140lbs (I start my new job on the 16th October) before thinking I may have to start logging again in order to be more accountable - so we'll see how that goes!?

    I'm completely back to my usual level of exercise this week, which has been tougher than I thought it would be, but it felt really good to get back to doing everything - who would have thought I would have missed the gym so much?!?!?

    @girlgroves my weight has shot up 6 lbs twice this summer from water weight but came back down within 1-2 weeks. It's disturbing to see but you'll likely be just fine.

    Thanks @lorrpb - I know you're probably right..... It feels like it could be more than just water weight - it's been 3 weeks already! .......but I'm determined not to panic! :)

    Time it took to lose: Started Jan 1 2016
    How long in maintenance: One Week
    Maintenance weight range: 155-160



    Week of:
    September 3 155.8
    September 10 155.6
    September 18
    September 24

    Success/struggles of the week:

    Success: I am so happy to be here! My original goal weight was 165 I surpassed that and now going to try to maintain for awhile and think about if I want to loose 10 more pounds. I am very near the top of my BMI. Sunday's are me weigh in days. While technically I am not at my goal weight I'm figuring as I plan around with calories I will be very soon.

    Struggles: I am very anxious about how well I'll be able to maintain. I really am having a hard time with eating at my calorie maintenance number for fear of gaining weight back. This upcoming week is going to be hard as it's hubby's birthday week and we are going away Fri/Sun so gonna be extra good this week so I can save for the weekend.

    Name: Jen
    Age: 45
    Height: 5'2.5"
    Total Weight lost:145lbs
    Time it took to lose: 2.75yrs
    How I lost it: My story (PhotoBucket broke my pics. Still working on fixing this.)
    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 122 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 trend: 126.8lbs
    February avg weight trend: 126.1lbs
    March avg weight trend: 124.6lbs
    April avg weight trend: 122.9lbs
    May avg weight trend: 123.4lbs
    June avg weight trend: 122.6lbs
    July avg weight trend: 122.3lbs
    August avg weight trend: 118.9lbs

    Trend week of...
    25th August: 117.9lbs
    1st September: 118.5lbs
    8th September: 119.3lbs

    Successes of the week: Starting to feel comfier at school. New and anxiety-ridden is slowly becoming old, familiar, and comfortable. Will be glad when that transition is complete!

    Challenges of the week: The birthday celebration became a birth week celebration. LOL That is lovely, but I am having trouble getting myself to care about my food intake being over every day. Like, I am winning lots of battles, but one loss causes me to lose the overall war.

    Also, disconnecting my Fitbit from MFP this week to see if that helps overcome the compulsive urge to eat green cals, even when I know they are a lie.
