    Week of...
    August 5:126
    August 12:125.4
    August 19:126.8
    August 26:126.8

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: My trend was down all week ranging from 125.6 to 126.2 and today my official weigh in day I was up the same as last week. If I didn't keep track of my weight daily I would have been discouraged although I am not happy that I weigh more at the end of the month then what I was at the beginning so will be extra careful in the upcoming weeks. I will be headed back to school on Monday which will help keep me away from food although will need to change up my exercise routine no more early morning walks.

    Height: 5'4"
    Total weight lost: About 43 pounds
    Time it took to lose: 1 year and 2 months
    How long in maintenance: I hit my goal weight in the beginning of January, officially started maintenance in mid-March 2018
    Maintenance weight range: 108-111.5

    Average weight recorded from January: 110.6
    Average weight recorded from February: 109.5
    Average weight recorded from March: 109.0
    Average weight recorded from April: 109.1
    Average weight recorded from May: 109.3
    Average weight recorded from June: 109.7
    Average weight recorded from July: 110.1

    Week of...
    August 5: 110.6 (trendweight 110.4)
    August 12: 110.1 (trend 110.2)
    August 19: 109.5 (trend 109.9)
    August 26: 108.7 (trend 109.3)

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I had one very low weigh-in day, but I think it might have been because I spent the whole day prior out in the sun and might have been a bit dehydrated. I banked a lot of calories for Friday and Saturday, when I ate out a lot, including several desserts. I managed okay, but it's interesting how eating the number of calories I was averaging while losing weight for a couple of days this week to compensate for this weekend's very high calories now feels like "too little" during maintenance, even though I ate fewer calories while losing weight and didn't usually feel like it was a deprivation.

    Name: It's ME!
    Age: About a year older than I was last year.
    Height: About 5' 7" or just under.
    HEAVIEST weight: 175.4 about five years ago
    Total Weight lost: 31 pounds total; 24 pounds since January 2018
    Time it took to lose: About six months (assuming start date January 2018)
    How long in maintenance: Less than a month (started early July 2018)
    Maintenance weight range: 142 - 148
    Average weight recorded from 2017 (12months): 163.8


    RECENT weight about 170 during most of 2017
    ACTUAL weight recorded from January 2, 2018 (only weigh-in that month): 168.2
    Average weight recorded from February: 157.5
    Average weight recorded from March: 154.4
    Average weight recorded from April: 153.2
    Average weight recorded from May: 151.6
    Average weight recorded from June: 150.2
    Average weight recorded from July: 146.8
    Average weight recorded from August: 148.1

    Average weight Week of...

    July 29-August 4: 146.8
    August 5-11: 145.1.
    August 12-18: 147.2
    August 19-25: 149.0
    August 26-Sep 1: 149.4 -- I am now over my maintenance range, so I have reset my goal back to losing 0.5 pounds a week until I'm back in or below the middle of my goal range.


    Success of the week:
    I stopped an upward trend that had gone on for a couple weeks and had gone outside my goal range by a couple pounds. I ended the month (not the week) with a monthly average weight just at the edge of goal range within the margin of error for my scale. Ended the week with a scale weight back within goal range.

    Struggle of the week:
    Ended the week with an average weight clearly above goal range. Ended the month with a monthly average weight a hair outside of my goal range. Not by much, though.
