    Success/Struggles: Weight is up a bit this week, but still staying relatively stable. Just typical fluctuations.  I had pizza and seafood this weekend which are both pretty high sodium meals for me. So I'm not worried about a little bump up.

    Sleep is so big. Really trying to get closer to 8 most days and not getting there as often as I'd like

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week:
    I'm doing okay, following my meal plans, staying close to calorie goal but I don't have the wiggle room that I use to have. I had a beer Friday out on my deck with husband on nice sunny afternoon and it put be way over my calorie goal. A couple of those in a week and I start to gain. Should I try to get more exercise in? Should I lower my calorie goal? Not sure.

    @425Recess I"m the same height and about the same weight as you. 115.5 puts you at 19.7 BMI which is on the lower end. I'm pretty active so I have a hard time seeing how one beer can put you way over your calorie goal. I would think that if you aren't very active then you must be eating at a pretty low daily calorie goal. If so then I would probably try going for an extra walk or something on days I wanted a little extra. Or maybe try eating a little lower 3 or 4 days a week so you can have more on the weekend. And if 115 is too hard (mentally) to maintain you have plenty of room to gain a few pounds and still be quite slim for your height.

    Success/Struggles: Fitting into my new shorts and shirts is a nice bonus. Still losing a bit of weight though, even with my new “blow out” days. Average weight is down this week from week prior. Bought some higher calorie alternative foods last Friday so I’ll see if that helps a bit.

    @kgirlhart You're right. One beer won't make me overweight though in my heavier days I would say this one cookie won't hurt but there were too many of those "one cookie" times. Right now, to maintain my weight - something I want to do - I have to kept my calories at a level lower than pre-pandemic days and that's my complaint. If I want a beer now and then or cookies, I have to increase my exercise. Happily, over the years I have learned that I do have a choice. That's significant.

    June has really brought the HEAT this weak. Runs have been tough to get through and I didn’t make it through my pace run at pace but got through the mileage. We’re over 200 miles for the month!!

    Still have quite a bit of chicken to get through in my freezer but I’ve been trying a lot of stuff with tofu and plan on making up some tofu scramble today to try this week. Anybody use templates to get through the majority of their meals? When I picture my ideal day to day relationship with food it would be something akin to the plate method at home. (50% veggie, 25% grain 25% protein) I might skew the numbers a bit to aim for higher protein.

    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

    June 15 - 21 ....... 147.3
    June 22 - 28 ....... 146.0
    June 29 - July 5 .......


    Success of the week: June continues to be a successful month at getting back closer to the middle or bottom of my maintenance range. My daily weight has bounced up and down up to four pounds this week, but the trend is still good. three and end has continued to moderate back towards my goal, and it's back to where it was April 7, about a week earlier than it was a week ago and two weeks earlier than two weeks ago. Looks like I am moderating about the same rate I was gaining. Interesting. I also had a very good visit to my physician. I hadn't seen him since I lost most of my weight, and my results showed marked improvements. I am making progress on the war against all the ants.

    Struggle of the week: Some stuff I don't want to write about.

    Success/Struggles: So still losing weight, albeit slowly. Down another half pound average from last week. My calories were down about 140 less per day so that would explain the difference. Still trying to add snacks and calories. I’ve resorted to drinking beer at night now (not the lite stuff, full calorie versions!) but that’s only adding 150 calories. I’m definitely at the weight I want to be at but still trying to add calories in to keep from going down too much. Added in some more strength training this week too so we’ll see how that factors in.

    Success of the week: June ended on a good note. I've been slowly moderating back down to the place in my maintenance range I prefer, and the little bounce up this week doesn't even bother me. Ideally I can keep on the same pace and be quite pleased by the end of July. In fact, my weight trend on the TrendWeight website today is 0.1 pound less than it was on July 5, 2019, and exactly the same as my average weight for this week.

    Struggle of the week: Tiny struggle seeing the average weight bounce up, but it doesn't really bother me. I'm doing fine.
