    Just setting this up for Sunday when I weigh in!

    Hi! My name is Kristen. And I struggle to maintain my weight. I have had great success losing/gaining, but I'm hoping this group helps me be more accountable. I weigh only 1x week on Sundays, so that's when I'll check in. My 2 goals in 2020 are to not let the scale go above 153 and weigh in EVERY Sunday for the WHOLE YEAR. This seems easy to most, but I get lazy and make excuses why I don't need to weigh in and then all of a sudden everything in my closet has shrunk. LOL

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week:No lost no gain.Those pesky 2 -3 pounds just won't budge. I 'm going to have to get serious about losing them. People look at me strange when I tell them I still need to loose them. They remember where I was and where I am now and are like um your looking just fine. Good things my MFP people get it. Have a great week.

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I've been procrastinating a bit in the morning and being a little half arsed with my workouts. Still doing them (success!), but not for the length or intensity as I should, and by procrastinating (damn you Facebook!) I find myself short on time and taking short-cuts to get ready and leave the house. I think a ban is in order. Got to actually get out of bed when the alarm goes off, not simply wake and scroll!

    Successes/struggles: Last Monday I vowed to restart weighing and logging. Some success – I did breakfast every day – but I ate out a few times and skipped logging especially evenings. I had cake a few times without recording it, and there is one small slice left.
    I saw the surgeon and the physio on Wednesday and received the all clear to progress with more exercise. But the physio was very cautious about increasing the cardio and the weights on the gym machines. I forgot to ask her about swimming so I’ve sent an email and waiting for an answer. Walking seems to be the recommendation. I got my bike out and managed a very short, level, ride, but don’t know when I’ll be able to go into town on it. I’m seeing the physio again in a few weeks’ time, and it could be another 2 or 3 months before I get back to previous exercise routines. I know it’s possible to manage weight and lose weight without exercise but as a little old lady my BMR is very low and my maintenance calories are only about 1400 without extra exercise.
    However, I’m in this for the long haul and for my health, (mental health as well as physical) so maintaining at 50 – 52 kg for a few months won’t do any harm.

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I'm getting back on track with my workouts, including strength training, and with it, this week's weigh-ins have been bumped up quite a bit over the past couple of weeks. I had a friend in town and ate out almost every day, but even with a planned surplus week, my weight didn't go up as high as I was expecting.

    Successes: Either I have an extremely fast metabolism or my scale is busted. Stopped logging and weighing food. Eat when hungry, stop when full. Still down .4lbs.

    Struggles: Not logging or weighing food was weird. Like I was missing part of me. Going to keep going and see if I can get the scale to go up a bit.

    Here is to a better week.

    HEAVIEST weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Total Weight lost: 30 pounds
    Time it took to lose: ~6 months
    How long in maintenance: Since July 2018 -- but with some fluctuation outside of goal range.
    Maintenance weight range: 142 - 148 (and not sure that's the right answer)

    Average weight recorded from 2017 (12 months): 163.8
    Average weight recorded from 2018 (12 months): 150.7
    Average weight recorded from 2019 (12 months): 144.8

    Average weight recorded from December 2019: 145.0
    Average weight recorded from January 2020: 143.7
    Average weight recorded from February 2020: 144.2

    Average weight Week of...
    March 2 (back from Roatan): 144.0
    March 2 - 8...... 144.0
    March 9 - 15......
    March 16 - 22......
    March 23 - 30......

    Success of the week: I have kept my scale weight within less than a one pound range all week. My trending weight has stayed within a 0.1 pound range every day this week. I can hardly be more steady than this.

    Struggle of the week: More of a mental challenge, but that rock steady trend weight is just about a pound over what my primary goal weight is. Hardly a struggle, but yeah, it still bugs me.

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: over the weekend I hit a couple exercise NSVs.
    1. During a run, I got my heartrate up to 210bps (!), and stayed in 'peak' zone for 9 mins (I rarely ever get into the 'peak' heart rate zone).
    2. I did a 40km (24 miles) charity walk, which was almost 8 hours of walking.
    However I am now paying for that walk: have a huge painful blister and swelling on my left foot, while my right knee/leg/hip is very stiff and painful. I'm hobbling around, and am unlikely to be able to do my normal exercise this week. I am doing restorative yoga everyday (a routine for tired/sore legs) and using magnesium spray in the hope those help with the muscle soreness.

    March 23rd:
    March 30th:

    Successes/struggles: I’ve done much better at weighing and logging food and my weight seems to have stabilised now at just under 51 kg. There was a little upward blip last Tuesday but the trend line has now turned downwards after going up through January and February. As I’m still not able to do much cardio work I’m happy to stay at this weight for a few more weeks. I’m gradually increasing my steps – last week averaged just under 10,000 steps a day – and hoping to continue.

    Struggles: I'm hoping to start swimming this week, but I'm quite busy for a few days so I might struggle to actually do it. The physio also said I could go to the gym if I'm careful but I haven't got there yet.

    Overall I'm making good progress following the surgery so I just need to keep it up. It's so easy to drift into laziness again. That's how I gained weight after retiring from work - lost my routines and drifted into lazy days.
