Success/Struggle: I have way too much to do this week which can have something to do with fitness: I skip my exercises, I eat because of stress, I eat less because my mind is elsewhere or don't eat the right foods. I am trying to convince myself that taking care of myself is important too!3 -

Successes/struggles of the week: Not a bad week overall. My weight was a little bit on the high end at the beginning of the week, but that dropped down by yesterday. Of course, I got some takeout from an Italian restaurant and ate that for both lunch and dinner yesterday, and then saw a jump back up in my weight this morning. I've been getting some good workouts in this week, but the weather hasn't cooperated enough to be able to take a long walk/hike outside.4 -
Name: Orphia
Age: 54
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.
Weekly averages checking day for me is Sunday.

Success: Did manage to drop a little weight this week. Running mileage is increasing as I train for my next half marathon. Also got vaccine #2 today!
Struggles: Been really bad about faithful and accurate logging. Was particularly troublesome yesterday when I took a chocolate tempering class on zoom. Made lots of chocolate goodies. There was some spatula licking going on at clean up and then some nibbling on the confections. Didn't pay for it on the scale yet, but Monday will probably be high.3 -

Success/Struggle: I decided to take Saturday off. I'm retired but keep busy with lots of commitments. I had a bad night Friday with very little sleep. Decided to just ignore everything and take it easy, took a nap, read lots, did some knitting, worked with my pictures. I didn't log or exercise. And of course, nothing bad happened. Everything is fine and I haven't felt this good in for a long time. I didn't even gain any weight!4 -
Name: Charlotte
Age: 57
Height: 5'11" (180cm)
Maintenance range: 75kg (+/- 2.5 kg) - but we'll see, maybe a bit lower. (I'm currently wondering about 73kg +/- 1 kg.)

maintained (i.e. was below 77.5 kg, and mostly below 75 kg) from February 2015-July 2017; was then put on a medication and gained 2 kg in a month; went on sabbatical (away from scales; lots of conference meals); hit (peri-)menopause and lost track of things except to note that I was steadily gaining and back to 85/86 kg.
Lost to 81 kg at Easter 2020 (top of normal bmi for me), but then gained back to 88 kg in April/May (Easter egg binge; lock down closed the pool...).
Average weight October 2014 - September 2015: 75.72 kg
Average weight October 2015 - September 2016: 72.33 kg
Average weight October 2016 - September 2017: 76.82 kg - monthly average mostly within maintenance range (74.82 - 77.86 kg) for the first 10 months, then >79 kg in August and September
Average weight October 2017 - March 2018: 80.90 kg

Average weight recorded for April 2021 currently: 74.91 kg
Successes: My monthly average remains just under 75kg, which is where I want it. Hurrah! Also, I seem to be maintaining with a slightly higher calorie intake than mfp predicted, which is very good news.
Struggles: My rolling 7 day average has been up a bit every week this month, so I need to keep an eye on that.
Overall I feel this is starting to be a transition to maintenance!

Success: Average weight below 160 for the first time! And this was despite having some chocolate indulgences (I took a chocolate tempering class and ate the evidence!) and going out to dinner this week. Also got my second vaccine this week.
Struggles: As mentioned above, over indulged in chocolate confections. After shot #2, I felt a little under the weather, but nothing horrible, though I did take a day off from running. Having a rest day did my body good.
