    Name: Kristen
    Age : 39
    Height : 5'11
    Total Weight lost: 22lbs
    Time it took to lose: about 5 months
    How long in maintenance: I'm not sure I'd actually call it maintainance as I'm still slowly losing...set my calories higher on Sept. 25th
    Maintenance weight range: 145 - 150 lbs (Revised range as of 12/18)

    Average for October 2017: 146.2
    Average for November 2017: 143.4

    Week of Dec 3rd: 141.8, 142.4 trend
    Week of Dec 10th 140.4, 141.9 trend
    Week of Dec 17th 140.2, 141.0 trend
    Week of Dec 24th
    Week of Dec 31st:

    Successes: Scale weight is staying basically the same. Trend is going down. I have a feeling it's on it's way back up - but we'll see. I started not logging on the weekends, just to see if I can get the scale move up a bit. I'd feel better at 145. So, I'll go through Christmas with logging weekdays, not logging weekends, and see if we can get it budge.

    Struggles: I saw 139.6lbs on the scale Wednesday (every day weigher, record it all in Libra, may be obsessive but it helps to keep on track). Now, granted, I still have 7lbs until I'm considered underweight, but I have NEVER seen that number on the scale when I've been on it. I'm sure it's normal or even high for most but when you are 5'11, it's pretty darn low.

    My parents are heading here Sunday from Pittsburgh for a few days. We have the menu planned out - I'll start baking cookies Friday while I'm off work - still need to do lots of cleaning. I'm going to enjoy those cookies without guilt and get back on track in January.

    I may not check in until Wednesday next week. Ok, back to work. Hope you all have a wonderful week and a great holiday!

    Total Weight lost: 70lb in total and 41lb since Jan 10th 2017
    Time it took to lose: 4 1/2 years but with a 3 year gap in between. Took 11 months to lose 41lb this year.
    How long in maintenance: Just started
    Maintenance weight range: 111lb - 119lb

    Nov 3rd 118lb
    Nov 20th 115lb
    Dec 9th 114lb
    Dec 18th 111lb

    Successes. Lost a total of 5st. four and a half years ago I tipped the scales at my heaviest at 12st13. Lost 2st 2lb back then so was down to 10st11lb. Was starting to creep back up again but didn't realise until I saw a photo from xmas last year and I thought, Oh No!! Not happening! Time to lose the rest, Hopped on the scales on the 10th Jan 17 and was greeted with the result of 11st3! Not happy, But I am ecstatic now. Have lost all of the weight and I am very proud of myself.

    Struggles. Seeing weight fluctuations. HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT!! I know this is normal but I tried maintaining in Sept/Oct and as you can see, I put a few lbs back on and to be honest I wasn't truly happy with what I saw in the mirror. I found that you put the original water weight lost at the beginning, so decided to get down to 8st and I am now very happy with what I see, (I am as of today actually 7st13) I will be even happier when I start building some muscle. I also have what looks like a deflated balloon in my stomach when I do a plank but even that's got smaller.

    Goals. To start weight training/strength exercising in Jan so I can tighten up my tummy, Butt, Boobs, arms, Well basically everywhere.

    I am still going to be very diligent this week so that I go into the holiday weekend at the low end of my maintenance range (125-129.9). I have a couple of "swimsuit vacations" coming up in Jan and Feb so I want to continue to be very mindful about my calorie intake for the next 7-8 weeks.

    I’m in the same position with the same mindset, @fitand50inSD. My husband is joining me on a cruise to the Western Caribbean in January - our first holiday together in almost 3 years! I want to have all the confidence I can muster, so being very mindful these next few weeks in preparation.

    Where’s your vacations to?
