    I’m going to join up again, not entirely sure what to set my goal weight as. I just upped my calories and am not sure at all where my weight loss rate is going to settle.

    I hope you do not mind me copying you!

    1) I need to taper to maintenance and do not know where my "final" weight will settle.
    2) I met my Easter challenge goal of 165 lbs early, went on two weeks of maintenance, and gained a pound. Ugh. (In my defense I had to attend THREE seders AND a big Easter dinner. That was a very ham-and-wine-intensive weekend.)
    3) I will be traveling for three weeks in May so, realistically, may not be able to manage my weight as well as I have at home...but I will sure try.

    For these reasons, I want to participate but without a set number of pounds for the final weight. My goal will be to lose between 0 and 3/4s of a pound per week.

    To get back to my goal weight I only need to shift the last 5lbs of the 11lb I've put on over the winter. That stubborn 5lb have been so difficult to shift but it's time to see it go!

    I have an analog scale, and usually I see some fluctuation throughout the week, but this week the needle was on 170 every single morning. Not sure what that’s about, but I’m hoping for a pound or two to come off in the next week.
