Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week/month: same old battles, trying to keep nightly snacking at bay ( not too successfully) and balance that out with big bike rides. Overall, it's all good, although there are days when all i want to do is eat. On the other hand, if I'm really busy i can go for hours not thinking about it and not even realizing how long it's been since I've eaten. Boredom is my worst enemy. I love food, it's often hard to stop when it's good. Also i look for high calorie snacks after dinner (which is usually high volume, relatively low cal). Almost two years into maintenance, i know by now what to do and how to do it.

Total Weight lost: ~76 lbs
Time it took to lose: 2 years 3 months
How long in maintenance: I called maintenance in July 2016, but I continued to slowly lose until December of 2017. I have been in maintenance for ~ 9 months
Maintenance weight range: 118 - 122 lbs

Average weight recorded from May: 119.7
Average weight recorded from June: 119.4
Average weight recorded from July: 119.8
Average weight recorded from August: 118.8

Week of...

September 9: 119.0 scale/ 118.5 trend
September 16: 119.6 scale/ 118.6 trend
September 23: 118.2 scale/ 117.8 trend
September 30: 117.8 scale/ 117.8 trend

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Still a little on the low end. But I am maintaining. I was feeling a little frustrated about being under my range, but I have decided that it is ok. I realized that I feel really good about my weight, my activity level, the amount I eat and how I look. I think I am letting concerns about what others think about my weight stress me out. I am not under weight or even close to being under weight. I am simply thinner than I used to be.

Total weight lost: 31lbs
Time it took to lose: 6.5 Months
How long in maintenance: 0

Weight end of April: 148.0
Weight end of May: 140.7
Weight end of June: 133.4
Weight end of July: 129.0
Weight end of August: 125.0

Week of...

September 7: 123.7 (t. 125.0)
September 14: 123.5 (t: 123.7)
September 21: 121.0 (t: 123.3)
September 28: 121.5 (t: 121.7)
September 30: 121.3 (t: 121.1)

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Weight and trend below goal range. Fell off the wagon logging correctly, obviously not to my detriment too much. Weight seems to have leveled off around the 120-121 range (after dipping through the week as low as 119). I think I may just adjust my goal for October, I'm satisfied with my calorie range. I often have to add calories to hit my calorie goal. There were many days I had to eat two servings of ice cream at night to hit my goals for the day, which is probably why my weight has finally settled and stopped dropping (meeting my calorie goals). On to October!

Success - did join the gym and did get a few sessions with the trainer to get to know the machines and set up a good routine I can follow when I am done with her thank you
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/profile/usercard/23611842 and
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/profile/usercard/1000555630 for your great advice, I think I would have pulled a Uey as soon as I walked in there without that session booked! Trainer is great and I think I’ll be able to do everything myself once we are done.

Way out of the comfort zone and not something I ever thought I’d see myself doing but feeling really good about the whole thing!
