    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 145 - 150
    Absolutely 143-153

    (Updated goals up a few pounds versus the last couple years, 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 2021 (12 months): 153.4

    Average weight recorded from December 2021: 150.4
    Average weight recorded from January 2022: 151.8
    Average weight recorded from February 2022: 152.9
    Average weight recorded from March 2022: 151.2


    Average weight Week of...


    Mar 28 - Apr 3 ................. 150.3
    Apr 4 - 10 .........................
    Apr 11 - 17 ........................
    Apr 18 - 24 .......................
    Apr 25 - May 1 .................


    Success of the week: Ended the first quarter in a good place and strengthening good habits. My ten-day average weight stayed at least in my absolute maintenance range for the entire month of March. Maybe in April it will move into the ideal range.


    Struggle of the week: I failed to meet my quarterly "miles" target by just a few miles. That's OK. I can catch up in Q2.

    Name Lesley
    Age: 71
    Height: 154 cm (5’ 0.5”)
    Total weight lost: 22.5 kg (approx. 50 lb)
    Time it took to lose: 9 months


    How long in maintenance: 35 months – nearly 3 years!!
    Maintenance weight range: 48 – 51 kg (106 – 112 lbs)

    Average weight recorded from 2018: max 72.5 kg in July, 56 kg in Dec
    Average weight 2019: 49.8 kg – reached goal weight in April, average since then 48.7 kg
    Average weight for 2020 49.3 kg (109 lb)
    Average weight for 2021 49.3 kg (109 lb)


    Average weight recorded for November 50 kg (110 lb)
    Average weight recorded for December 49.6 kg (109 lb)
    Average weight recorded for January 49.5 kg (109 lb)
    Average weight recorded for February 49.0 kg (108 lb)
    Average weight recorded for March 49.15 kg (108 lb)


    April 4th: 49 kg (trend 49.2 kg)
    April 11th:

    Successes/Struggles:
    March was an up and down month (or rather down, then up). I had a short break away in the middle of the month, but planned for it by eating at a deficit for a few weeks and easing down in weight to under 49 kg. Then saw a big spike after returning home but lost that fairly quickly, so here I am back at 49 kg, spot on my maintenance goal.

    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 145 - 150
    Absolutely 143-153

    (Updated goals up a few pounds versus the last couple years, 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 January 2022: 151.8
    Average weight recorded from February 2022: 152.9
    Average weight recorded from March 2022: 151.2


    Average weight Week of...


    Mar 28 - Apr 3 ................. 150.3
    Apr 4 - 10 ......................... 150.0
    Apr 11 - 17 ........................
    Apr 18 - 24 .......................
    Apr 25 - May 1 .................


    Success of the week: I did it. Finally. I am back in my maintenance range. My average weight is at or below 150 for the first time since December. Back in December I had a very short time below 150. Just a few days. Before that it was December 2020 as I was in the middle from gaining my lockdown weight. That started in September 2020. So it's been almost 19 months with this little struggle, and I feel successful to be back in my maintenance range. I track a ten-day moving average, and it hit 149.9 yesterday. The one-week average will follow in a day or two.

    Struggle of the week: I am not giving any power to my struggles this week so I can focus on the success.

    Successes/struggles of the week: A couple of very high weigh-ins this week - likely a combination of high sodium/carb takeout meals a couple of days in a row, in addition to a new medication that I'm on that has a side effect of gaining weight.

    Successes/struggles of the week: Success was getting to my goal weight. I am nervous about learning to do maintenance and won't even begin until next week after the food craziness tomorrow. My daughter is in town, and we've gone out to lunch and dinners the last two nights. Tonight was Texas Roadhouse. Success was not going too crazy there!

    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 145 - 150
    Absolutely 143-153

    (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

    Apr 11 - 17 ........................ 151.0
    Apr 18 - 24 .......................
    Apr 25 - May 1 .................


    Success of the week: Last week I didn't list any struggles. This week, no success to speak of. Except this: I won't let the struggle bug me too much. I'll just keep sticking to the program, and I can be assured that results will follow. It's just another little blip.

    Struggle of the week: Just as I was settling back into my maintenance goal range, it's like I hit a rubber floor and bounced back up, up, up. It's down from Friday, and it's down from every day since Monday except yesterday, but it is back up where it was end of March. Grrrr..

    Successes/struggles of the week: Eating out is very difficult. We like "hole in the wall" places of a variety of ethnic foods. It's a total guess on calories, which makes it difficult to know how much I have left for dinner calories or whatever. I'll have to figure out how to be okay with uncertainty once a week.

    @LiveOnceBeHappy – it can take a while to settle into the mindset of maintenance – balancing relaxing the constraints of strict calorie counting with still keeping an eye on your intake. I find that eating out (as long as it’s not too frequent) can be managed very well. Just remember some of the things you learned over those 8 months of losing.

    Success/Struggle: Did really well in the first half of the week and fell apart in the last half.
    Life is good but challenging. I had to give a talk at three different services at church and organize the signup tables, etc. It was a definite "out of my comfort zone" experience. I had to fit eating in there somehow and not exercising or tracking. The event did go well though.
