I've been back and eating on plan for 5 days and the water weight from my vacation is gone. I am back in my maintenance range.

Success: Right at goal weight. Actually, have been under during the week but I always weight the most on Monday's (my official weigh-in day).
Struggle: The fact that I am at goal is luck. I had some things come up this week and was not doing my exercising, yardwork, and logging my eating like I wish. I know what would happen if I left that keep happening. No good.3 -

Successes/struggles of the week:
I had an unexpected surprise at work that is causing a fair amount of discomfort that I'm still trying to work through. I did find it increased my urge to overeat but I tempered that for the most part. It's been quite hot so I've found ways to get my exercise in without overdoing it in the heat.1 -

Successes/Struggles:
Another holiday, another bump in the road.
I went away on Monday Aug 1st in my motorhome for 7 nights. Motorhome holidays are easier on the diet than hotel breaks as we have a lot more control over the food. Even so, when I weighed in on Tuesday morning (after a long hot drive home cross country on Monday) the scale registered over 51 kg. However, it dropped away steadily over the next few days and here I am back at 50 kg.
I have a few quiet weeks at home now before we go away (to Kos for 2 weeks later in September) so I shall aim to drift down another kg or so.

Success: Right at goal weight ever week so far this month! A bit unusual but okay with me. My scale only has lbs and 1/2 lbs so not as remarkable as it seems.
Struggle: I am not getting to my exercises as often as I plan. Bothers me. It isn't just weight as a concern but my health in general. I need to get that on track!
Struggle:2 -
I have loss a total of 140pounds in three years by eating a clean food such as eggs and low-fat bacon and 1/2 cup of grits and black coffee and for lunch I will have a deli turkey 4oz sandwich on 45 cal wheat bread and Greek yogurt and apple and a bottle of water and for dinner I will have 6-8oz of baked chicken 2 cups of salad and skinny girl dressing and a bottle of water and for snack i will eat 200 Cals or under. It works for me.2

Well, todays weigh-in was a shock! Weight up by a kg from Saturday morning. We were out on Sunday at an agricultural show with friends and ate foods high in carbs (and noodles for lunch were probably high in salt). But I didn’t expect quite such a big jump in one day. I daresay it will be short-lived.
Success: I got back in the gym on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Success/struggles of the week:
I mostly stayed on track despite some unexpected stressors in my life. I am finding life quite busy right now so it's a matter of adjusting when I feel like I have less time across the board.
My TOM was also delayed so that is likely the reason my weight spiked as it's coming back down again.
I am exercising less because I have less time, which I miss for the benefits but it just means eating less so overall it shouldn't have any impact on my ability to maintain my weight.3 -

Success/struggles of the week:
I spent more of the last week in my maintenance range than I have yet this month, so that was exciting.
I leave for my last large holiday (second last of the year though) on Thursday, so I'm happy to be back to my starting place.
Struggles surround work stress, not enough time when I commute home to do the level of exercise I'd like, more eating out that normal.
Making it work, but it adds mental churn to the process. All part of being successful in maintenance!3 -

Successes/Struggles:
I didn’t expect it to take a whole week to repair the damage done by one day out (Sunday Aug 21st we were out) but I’m back where I want to be. Funny how the trend line shoots up with one high data point but is very slow coming down again.
I hope to lose another kg before I go on holiday in September, I have over 3 weeks to get there.
