    Successes/struggles of the week: I feel like an a-hole complaining about losing weight- so I’m not going to do it. But I just don’t know what’s going on. Clearly I need a lot more calories ??? This new way of eating is clearly doing something quite drastic. I don’t know. I guess more avocados and olive oil and honey are in my immediate future- though what I really want is to put away half a cheesecake!

    MW. I totally understand what is happening I'm going though the same never would have thought being in maintenance was harder than losing

    @CoachJen71 Hang in there.

    @microwhisper Losing too much weight is still a problem. Lots of people will say that they would love to have that problem, but a problem is a problem. I have been surprised at how hard maintenance is. I think that the avocado, olive oil and honey are great ideas.

    @bringbackthejoy I'm sorry about the HM. Hope you heal quickly.

    @CoachJen71 At least you are still within range. Things will get better!!

    @microwhisper I had the same problem. Try not to worry too much about it; things will eventually work themselves out. It took me a year. I am still a tad underweight, but my doc is ok with it. You will find your "me" weight.

This week 2 more dinners out.

    I didn't make my goal of 5 miles a day walking almost was .8 tenth of a mile short cold weather and me don't mix. and now that we turned back the clocks gonna try to get out before the sun goes down.

    Well, I have lost track of all the monthly stuff.
    My maintenance goal range is 114-117.
    I have been holding steady at 116 for a couple of months.
    Thanks @fidangul for these threads. Please do not give up on yourself or us! The struggle is real, but you can do it!

    Success/struggles of the week:

    Hate the way my body reacts to food by retaining water. Saw 156.2 Friday but back to 159 today. Tomorrow (after weigh-in) I'll probably drop off some of it. I reacted to rice (Friday) and ice cream (Sunday), even though I was well within calories. ugh. Still a learning curve. Will avoid both this weekly and should post a nice loss next week, as I'm still trying to get back to my ideal maintenance range.

    Name: Kristen
    Age : 38
    Height : 5'11
    Total Weight lost: 13.4lbs + 4.5lbs in "maintainance"
    Time it took to lose: about 3 months
    How long in maintenance: 7 weeks
    Maintenance weight range: 147 - 152 lbs

    Average for October 2017: 146.2

    Week of...
    5th November 144.0 lbs scale, 144.8 trend
    12th November: Won't weigh - on vacation
    19th November:
    26th November:

    Success / struggles of the week : I find that it's hard for me to eat to maintainance, unless I go out to eat. If I make food at home, take food to work, or am in control of what I eat, I tend to eat low. So, totally mental...LOL But I'm happy with the weight I am - have been pretty stable for the past few weeks. I haven't decided if I'll adjust my "range" since I"ve been under it for weeks. But I'll see what happens after a week in Cancun.

    Successes: I've been on the pill for as long as I can remember. For the last few years, I haven't had any "anything" for the TOM. Then Friday, I did. I'm sure it was the fast weight loss and the fact that I've started leveling out. 1 day I was 143.6 the next 145...stayed that way for 3 days then got "it". I'm back down to 144 now. For as long as I can remember "TOM" water weight has never been an issue...until now. So I get what everyone freaks out about. Especially newbies. I knew better - I knew I didn't gain fat - but I wondered what was causing the gain, since the scale was going down steadily over the last month.

    Well, it's only 6 days until we leave for vacation. I'm 6lbs lower than what I thought I'd be, so happy about that. And very happy with my swimsuit situation. I'm sure the Nov. 12th recording will be insanely high...looking forward to seeing how much damage I can do in 1 week! LOL

    I'll talk to you guys the week of the 19th! Have a great couple weeks!

    27th November:


    Success/struggles of the week: For the past week I focused on trying to hit 2100 calories per day using the TDEE method. I averaged 2002 calories per day so I need to bump it up just a little, but I think I did ok. My Fitbit shows that for the past week my average burn per day was 1764. I am going to continue trying to hit 2100 each day and see if I can't finally get to where I am holding steady. I see so many people talk about how Fitbit overestimates calories burned, but mine definitely is underestimating. It frustrates me because I would really like to just eat what it says I should but I do not maintain when I do.
