    Height: 5'4"
    Total weight lost: 50 lb.
    Time it took to lose: Over years with ups/downs
    How long in maintenance: at current weight ~ 6 years - Was on maintenance for 7 years at 125 lbs.
    Maintenance weight range: 115 +/- 2 lbs.

    Average weight recorded from 2018: Don't have the recorded number but stayed at goal.
    Average weight recorded from 2019: 114.5
    Average weight recorded from 2020: 115.0
    Average weight recorded from 2021: 114.7
    Average weight recorded from 2022: 115.2

    Jan 23 114.5

    Success: I continued to get my extra 16 oz of water in. I have never done it this long before.
    Failure: I have been consistently eating more calories than I have set and haven't gain for a while, so it was not surprising but still a shock to see the scale hit 116 today.

    Failure: I am so happy with my success that I am not going to think about failures.

    Average weight recorded for 2020: 111.6

    Jan 28: 113 (trending 113.3)

    Successes/struggles of the week: Continuing to slowly decline in my weekly average weights since the beginning of the month, and hoping to continue the trend. I recently met one of my fitness goals that I've been working towards for months, being able to do a pistol squat - I'm proud of this achievement, as other areas in my workouts have been suffering due to lack of motivation, so I'm glad that I've been able to work on this one and make progress where I haven't with other workout goals.

    Thank you! I was toppling over back in September when I first started trying 😆 It definitely takes a ton of practice and consistency with trying and failing!

    Name Lesley
    Age: 72
    Height: 153 cm (5’ 0.5”)
    Total weight lost: 22.5 kg (approx. 50 lb)
    Time it took to lose: 9 months

    How long in maintenance: over 3 ½ 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 for 2022 49.9 kg (110 lb)


    Average weight recorded for September 50 kg (111 lb)
    Average weight recorded for October 50.9 kg (112 lb)
    Average weight recorded for November 50.5 kg (111 lb)
    Average weight recorded for December 51.3 kg (113 lb)

    Average weight recorded for January: 50.7 kg (112 lb)


    Feb 6th: 49.9 kg (trend 50.6 kg)


    Successes/Struggles:

    I did well in January, losing much of the 2 kg I gained in the last 6 weeks of 2022, but my weight has stalled at around 50 kg. There’s nothing wrong with 50 kg but I’m away on holiday for a few days from Feb 13th and will be eating breakfast and dinner in a hotel for four nights so I had hoped to be closer to 49 kg before going.

    Struggling with exercise as my OA is really affecting my mobility. Thus, I have to be very careful about calories – no wiggle room.
