in Goal: Maintaining Weight
Happy new year maintenance friends old and new!!! It's a new day, a new year and a new thread and I'm looking forward to it. Very exciting...

This thread is a continuation from the previous month (AND year). The aim of this thread is to have a weekly weigh-in check for some accountability or support.

I've added a new section to record our Average weight from 2017 as a starting point. Otherwise, I feel, the list will be far too long as time goes by, and the thread pages will be very extensive. Will be adding each new months record just as before. New joiners can begin to record their weight whenever they start and do not need to include a 2017 average weight.

    Success / Struggles: Kind of overdid it yesterday at New Years, but I feel a strong resolve to clean up my eating today. I haven't been tracking as carefully as usual, so that is something I will need to watch, too.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!!

    Success/struggles of the week: I lost 10 pounds in 2017. My goal for 2018 is to maintain my weight in the 120 - 125 range. I guess I need to gain a couple of pounds this year and try to keep them without gaining too many. Who knew maintenance would be so difficult?

    @Nudgey02 It looks like the chocolate has not done too much damage. Sometimes you just need to cut loose.

    @ryenday - I know your struggle, for real. Every single day. I am still miffed about how to find a sustainable balance. It shouldn’t be this hard forever, should it? I’m a year into maintaining now and I still find myself hungry and trying to fight the urges almost every single day.... you’re not alone.

    I am also one who eats some chocolate every day. As long as it fits and you aren't hungry because you "wasted" all your calories then it's all good.

    Success/struggles of the week: Still right in the middle of my weight range which is good. Even so, I am feeling the difference from gaining weight over Christmas and now I’m not sure if I like it. I think mostly the fact I decreased my workouts has me feeling less badass and looking less toned. I’ll play around with my diet and exercise, and see if I really want to lose a bit more or keep my original maintenance goal.

    I finally realized that I have to track calories on a weekly basis not daily. On a daily basis I have 0 calories to spare for anything that could be considered a treat. But by tracking weekly, I can actually save some calories for food or drink that is just fun to have. That changed everything. Still hungry a lot, but have mostly conquered the hangries. Work in progress for sure!

    @kalchthaleri It is so hard not to feel that way when your weight is up. But you are not gaining back all the weight you lost. You are in fact still under your maintenance range. I struggle with this as well, so I know exactly how you feel. Try not to worry and know that you've got this.

    Struggles/successes of the week:

    Last week I was 120.5 and today I am 122. So of course I worry I am on my way back to 338lbs. Didn’t binge or restrict all week and worked out every day though. So I will just keep going.

    I worry about the same and I'm just starting out. You know what to do if you keep gaining the trick is to start it right away something I will have to remind myself if I see my weight going up.
