    I'm getting these off of MFP, but I wasn't weighing regularly until August

    Average weight recorded from February: 130
    Average weight recorded from March: 128
    Average weight recorded from April: 128

    Success/struggles of the week: Struggled some over Thanksgiving b/c I am all or nothing. I did well this past week, even though it included a family potlock. I still ate more than I should, but I tracked it all, which I normally wouldn't have done, and still stayed within my overall calories.

    Struggles/successes of the week:

    Terrible week. Big set back.

    I got the flu or something on Friday night. Aches, fever, chills. Had to work all weekend though. Ate bad things on Saturday and Sunday. Way over my calories on Sunday. But I was just craving and craving. Couldn’t exercise at all until Wednesday. Did well with eating on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday though. But as far as exercise on Wednesday I just felt up to walking.

    It’s Thursday night as I write this. I did very well with eating today and felt up to exercise but only at about 70% effort level. Got on scale today just to see and I was 131 lbs. I am devastated and so scared for tomorrow.

    Success/struggles of the week: End of year work obligations put all my routines out the window. Lots of stress. Worked from home a couple days. Stress + laptop on the EIK counter... tough to avoid overeating to avoid tough project work when the fridge is 3 steps away for 12 hours...

    @sofchak I know what you mean. Weekends and evenings are the hardest time for me because I am home.

    Name: Jen
    Age: 46
    Height: 5'2.5"
    Total Weight lost:145lbs
    Time it took to lose: 2.75yrs
    How long in maintenance : Since 4/14/17
    Maintenance weight range: Would like to stay under 122 at morning weigh-in.

    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
    September avg weight trend: 119.1lbs
    October avg weight trend: 118.6lbs
    November avg weight trend: 118.8lbs

    Trend week of...
    24th November: 118.1lbs
    1st December: 117.6lbs
    8th December: 116.8lbs

    Successes of the week: Been fairly good about my strength exercises lately.

    Challenges of the week: Pretty dehydrated from a cold. I should be pushing more fluids, but I just don't seem to want them. Trend has dropped because scale weight was 113.9lbs this morning. I don't expect that to continue, though, as the treats at school started yesterday. Two chocolate dipped pretzels and some fruit salad jumped my daily cals up by a couple hundred. It adds up so quickly!

    I am struggling with not over-indulging at school and being stubborn about trading out evening snacks to make up the difference. I wound up walking longer than usual last night to balance out the numbers, but missed my stretching session and was late to bed. (Have been short on sleep all week. No wonder I got sick!)

    @CoachJen71 - it’s such a difficult decision to work from home. So relaxing to hang in pjs all day, but then I have the fridge nearby to contend with all day.

    Alternatively, I can go to work and hang out on the walking treadmill while I take calls and negotiate contracts. Burn calories, away from the fridge and get my work done...

    Decisions, decisions...

    Still over my goal range, though I’m under my calorie limit every week.

    Did a 30 km run yesterday, and running, swimming, or walking daily, so gaining muscle / losing BF.

    Not sure if I need to adjust my goal range.

    Name: Summer
    Age: 59
    Height: 5'1.75"
    Total Weight lost: ~32 lbs
    Time it took to lose: 4 months
    How long in maintenance: 10 weeks
    Maintenance weight range: 99-101

    Average weight recorded from October: 103.9
    Average weight recorded from November: 100.9

    Avg 29 Oct - 4 November: 102
    Avg 5-11 November: 101.8
    Avg 12-18 November: 100.7
    Avg 19-25 November: 100.0
    Avg 26 Nov thru 2 Dec 99.8
    Avg 3 Dec - 9 Dec 99.1

    Success/struggles of the week/month: 10 weeks in and still adding week to week,but now I am also starting to account for hard workout days vs rest days. It is encouraging that I think my TDEE might be continuing to rise as I keep adding. My workouts have not really changed except maybe to have a little more NRG so it must be that overall my activity level and cal burn is a little higher in the day to day activities.

    Success/struggles of the week: same struggle with end of year deadlines fast approaching.

    Snow put a hamper in usual training plans for Saturday so spent most of the day today indoors - luckily I didn’t eat the house. I’ll call that a win.

    Tomorrow is our 6 year wedding anniversary so we are going to an all you can eat Rodizio to celebrate... let’s see how that plays out for next week’s weigh in....

    Thank you, @CoachJen71! We had a very nice lunch - neither of us were willing to even try to count the calories for that all-you-can-eat meal. Lol.

    Now back to normal for both of us - Maintenance for me, 1-2lb weekly deficit goal for him. ;)
