    I am SUPPOSED TO BE in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds and an IDEAL goal range of 142 - 148. I fluctuate wildly day-to-day, and try to stay fairly steady month-to-month. I often succeed, and sometimes I am not exactly where I want to be. I will update here once per week and report my ten-day average weight.

    May 9: 2019: 142.1 - At goal; Ultimate final weight and bottom of IDEAL goal range. I was around my lowest average weight on my entire journey. Those were good days. River trips!

    February 9: Ten-day average 144.2 - Still in the lower third of IDEAL goal range.
    March 9: Ten-day average 144.1 - Lower third of IDEAL goal range.
    April 9: Ten-day average 147.3 - Almost the the top of my IDEAL goal range; top third of absolute goal range.
    May 9: Ten-day average 149.6 - Significantly over the top of IDEAL goal range. Last week I could hardly have been any closer to the top of my ABSOLUTE range. I'm up another 0.1 pound since then. At least that's all it is. Up over 2.5 from a month ago and about five pounds (!!!) from two months ago.

    @mtaratoot

    When this happened to me late Dec & early Jan & again in Feb 2020, I got flustered TOO! My brain fogged up (from FEAR, I think).

    SO, what worked?

    I asked my husband to look at all the data (exercise & food tracking) & tell me how many calories I should eat to *gradually* get back to maintenance...

    That worked. I just focused on staying below that calorie number. The fear subsided. I re-gained my balance & was kinder to myself.

    SO from your figures above, they would indicate ~ 230-290 calories extra on average per day. So if you take an extra walk for 150 calories. And walk your food by 100 cals a day (a few bites), you would gradually get back down.

    You are my hero. You CAN do this.

    I had to stop purchasing trigger foods. That worked. Once down, I occasionally let myself have them.

    Keep drinking lots of water & SLEEP!

    I’m rooting for you.

    Thanks for the very kind words.

    I sometimes sabotage myself at night. I've started being more vigilant when I tell myself "The kitchen is CLOSED." If I really try, I can just do it. My test this week - I did buy some foods I really like that are easy for me to overdo. Like dates. Like those Norwegian crisp seed crackers. Yeah. Like that. And some Akmak crackers. If I bought bread, all bets would be off. Well, I did get two bagels. But since I was down yesterday to get one with toppings, I just got a couple fresh ones to go. I want to keep them in business.

    This stress is a good reminder for me to continue to reassess my goals. I may just change them depending how I feel and if I stabilize where I am now. I really think I'm still at a healthy weight, but dammit Jim... my goals!

    I sometimes sabotage myself at night. I've started being more vigilant when I tell myself "The kitchen is CLOSED." If I really try, I can just do it. My test this week - I did buy some foods I really like that are easy for me to overdo. Like dates. Like those Norwegian crisp seed crackers. Yeah. Like that. And some Akmak crackers. If I bought bread, all bets would be off. Well, I did get two bagels. But since I was down yesterday to get one with toppings, I just got a couple fresh ones to go. I want to keep them in business.

    This stress is a good reminder for me to continue to reassess my goals. I may just change them depending how I feel and if I stabilize where I am now. I really think I'm still at a healthy weight, but dammit Jim... my goals!

    @mtaratoot
    I hear you! I wanted to be 155 or below. Said the same things to myself. .. but that wasn’t your goal... I got a number in mind & went down to 153 so when my digestive track was more full I would still be under 155.

    But u know what. 157-158 is MUCH easier for me, never hungry. And I’ve seen folks on here who look much fitter a year later after exercising & they weigh 5-7 lbs more.

    I’m healthier & look better. The scale number gave us a good initial goal- now we know how we feel & can figure the balance!

    What do you do for stress release? My daily hike/walks in nature lift my spirits immeasurably...

    Doodling?

    Movies?

    Music?

    Part of maintaining, for ne, has been finding other things that bring me joy, other than overeating.

    PS finding substitutes for the foods you like are a crucial skill!!! Bravo!

    Pps also of scale starts creeping up to 158 I cut back cuz I’ve already given myself 3-5lbs extra so SURELY I can maintain under 158. MIND GAMES
    But they work!

    I am SUPPOSED TO BE in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds and an IDEAL goal range of 142 - 148. I fluctuate wildly day-to-day, and try to stay fairly steady month-to-month. I often succeed, and sometimes I am not exactly where I want to be. I will update here once per week and report my ten-day average weight.

    May 16: 2019: 142.7 - At goal; Ultimate final weight and bottom of IDEAL goal range. I was around my lowest average weight on my entire journey. Those were good days. River trips!

    February 16: Ten-day average 144.2 - Still in the lower third of IDEAL goal range.
    March 16: Ten-day average 145.7 - Top third of IDEAL goal range.
    April 16: Ten-day average 149.1 - Over the top of my IDEAL goal range; almost top of absolute goal range.
    May 16: Ten-day average 149.2 - Significantly over the top of IDEAL goal range; almost top of absolute goal range.

    OK, so I don't weigh less than a month ago, but at least it is pretty much the exact same as a month ago; I'll call that a little victory. I am up 3.5 pounds from two months ago, five pounds from a quarter ago and look longingly at what I had achieved a year ago.

    @MadisonMolly2017 - I love all the green!
  • mtaratoot
    mtaratoot Posts: 14,278 Member

    I am SUPPOSED TO BE in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds and an IDEAL goal range of 142 - 148. I fluctuate wildly day-to-day, and try to stay fairly steady month-to-month. I often succeed, and sometimes I am not exactly where I want to be. I will update here once per week and report my ten-day average weight.

    May 23: 2019: 144.3 - At goal; Ultimate final weight and bottom of IDEAL goal range. I was around my lowest average weight on my entire journey. Those were good days. Oddly, this average weight is exactly the same as the day before I left for Roatan and the day I got back. Interesting!

    February 23: Did not weigh; I was on a fabulous dive trip on Roatan off the coast of Honduras. Was near my ideal weight when I left and when I returned; I strive to get back to that weight, and I'd love to go do some warm water diving again.
    March 23: Ten-day average 147.0 - Near the top of IDEAL goal range.
    April 23: Ten-day average 148.5 - Over the top of my IDEAL goal range; almost top of absolute goal range.
    May 23: Ten-day average 148.9 - Still not less than a month ago, but close; Over the top of IDEAL goal range; almost top of absolute goal range. But - daily scale weight is down over 3.5 pounds in the last four days and today's is back inside my ideal range. Not by much, but yay!

    I still don't weigh less than a month ago, but at least it is less than a half pound difference. As mentioned, I'm also at a scale weight inside my ideal goal range, so I can be glad about that. I am up just shy of two pounds from two months ago, about 4.5 pounds from a quarter ago and a year ago - same exact average. I weigh every day and track trends, and yesterday was the first day that the Trendweight app told me my weekly trend was going down again. The projection is pointing in the right direction.

    I am SUPPOSED TO BE in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds and an IDEAL goal range of 142 - 148. I fluctuate wildly day-to-day, and try to stay fairly steady month-to-month. I often succeed, and sometimes I am not exactly where I want to be. I will update here once per week and report my ten-day average weight.

    May 30: 2019: 144.8 - Just a couple pounds over my goal, but still in the middle of my IDEAL goal range.

    February 30: 144.3 OK, there's no such thing as February 30. I was on a fabulous dive trip on Roatan off the coast of Honduras and away from my scale from February 21 through March 2. Either could stand in, but March 2 makes more sense. It's the mathematical equivalent to February 30 in a leap year. Funny thing - my ten day average was exactly the same for both entries. This was near my ideal weight. I strive to get back to that weight, and I'd love to go do some warm water diving again. Close to my goal and in the bottom third of my IDEAL goal range.

    March 30: Ten-day average 146.3 - In the top third of IDEAL goal range.

    April 30: Ten-day average 149.1 - Over the top of my IDEAL goal range; almost top of absolute goal range.

    May 30: Ten-day average 148.9 - Finally! Less than a month ago! I am still just over the top of IDEAL goal range and about just as close to the top of my absolute goal range. As a bonus, 10-day average is exactly the same as a week ago, and scale weight is down almost half a pound since then. My scale went UP six pounds in two days between Sunday and Tuesday because I allowed myself a food fest at a barbecue for Memorial Day. I knew that would go up, and it's coming back fairly well. When will I get back to goal? I hope some time soon. No more feasts any time soon. But there's going to be lots of ripe fruit in the back yard.

    Maybe June will be kinder to me. Or maybe I'll be kinder to myself in June.
