    Name: Orphia
    Age: 53
    Height: 176 cm
    Heaviest weight: 98.9 kg
    Total Weight lost: 35 kg
    Time it took to lose: 12 months
    How long in maintenance: Since April 2016 - but gained 10 kg March-May 2020 after massive trauma combined with COVID-19.
    Maintenance weight range: 65-75 kg (not sure what’s the right answer - been up and down in there numerous times in my life, apart from going way over 2010-2015).
    I’d like to lose a bit to get back to 70 kg, but I’m still happy at around 75 kg.

    I’m experimenting with seeing how my satiety levels are in relation to the types of foods I eat. Trying to eat more whole foods, which I’ve been getting pretty good at, and less sugar, and it’s going quite well.

    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:
    Ideally 142 - 148
    Absolutely 140-150
    (and STILL not sure those are the right answers)


    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 2020 (12 months): 147.1

    Average weight recorded from December 2020: 150.9
    Average weight recorded from January 2021: 154.1 (!!!)

    Average weight Week of...
    February 1 - 7 ............... 155.1
    February 15 - 21 ............. 154.1
    February 22 - 24 ............. 155.1
    February 25 - 28 .............


    Success of the week: Well, it looks like I am maintaining this month. Pretty steady. That's a good sign.


    Struggle of the week: I'm still fairly far above my actual maintenance range. At least I'm still five pounds in to the healthy BMI range, and I prefer to be about 14 pounds below the overweight category (plus or minus five pounds).

    Week of...

    February 7: 113.0 scale/ 114.3 trend
    February 14: 113.4 scale/ 114.1 trend
    February 21: 113.0 scale/113.6 trend
    February 28:

    Success/Struggles: I was surprised that my weight was actually down a tad this week.  I wasn't able to get out for my usual runs but I didn't really change my eating.  I actually had a couple of high days. Nothing like sitting on the couch huddled under blankets to make you feel like snacking.  And drinking hot chocolate.  But it finally got above freezing on Friday so I got out for a run after work.  The streets were still kind of slushy but they were better yesterday and today there were just some puddles but that was about it.  I feel good that a few days of lower activity and higher eating didn't really make a difference in the long run.

    Struggle/Success: I had a few days where I ate chocolate cake and ice cream as well as Kraft Mac Cheese. I paid the price for that but got things under control. I may never know what sets off these eating binges that I've had for decades. The good news is yoga is back on track and my weight is ok, not exactly in the hoped for range but getting closer.

    Success/Struggles: Lowest average weight yet! Which goes to show you what logging faithfully can do. Got back on the water for the first time of the season on Saturday. And that was after a 4 mile run in the morning. Very sore the next day, but so glad to be back at rowing again! It will be weekends only until we get a little more daylight hours but Spring is around the corner. Also, did a little shopping and was pleased to find that the size 10 clothes I tried on were all too big. Even Medium seemed a little big. In the struggle side of things, I had lax logging this weekend. But did enjoy myself and earned every calorie eaten. I'll get be back on track tomorrow.

    A rough week, but getting back on an even keel. Habits help.

    Struggles: appetite (or mouth hunger) is bigger than available calories... eating fewer processed foods seems to be helping.

    Take Care ❤️
