    Success/Struggle: My weight was (according to my scale) at my goal weight exactly 5 days last week. Not .1 or .2 but .0. Today it was up .9. I don't trust the scale but it gives me focus and it shows if I'm in the ballpark or if I need to change something.

    Successes:
    eating at maintenance
    Exercise is a priority & is increasing
    Food quality is vastly improved
    No eating out (my Achilles heel)
    Leg/hip pain vastly better - many more steps & more times walking without cane
    Tracking all food

    Struggles
    Longterm Rt foot pain makes walking less enjoyable/sometimes curtails the length of walk I’d love to take. Ditto longterm left ankle. Both reappeared with longer & faster walking as I recovered

    Just getting back in the true Dieting Mode after a long time. Still not there.4/8

    Have not successfully succeeded in achieving a true calorie deficit (but I have achieved the maintenance level.) so no longer gaining 2.5 lbs per month. Baby steps

    My MOTIVATION:
    I am happiest when my BMI is 24.9 Normal
    That’s 164 lbs for me.

    Ever onwards!

    Thanks,

    Successes:
    eating at a small deficit recently
    Exercise is a priority & is increasing

    Got back to true Dieting Mode after a long time. 4/11

    Struggles
    None at the Moment

    My MOTIVATION:

    However, my new Cardiologist said once I get to 166, I don’t have to lose anymore!!!! Very morivating.

    Most recent weight: 175.3
    Ever onwards! Only 9.3 lbs to go!!

    I lose successfully with MFP, and then I get lazy with logging or quit caring and slowly my weight creeps up again. Here’s a sample of the highlights and lowlights!
    Dec 2014 - 165.8
    Oct 2015 - 144.8
    Feb 2017 - 148.6
    Jan 2021 - 171.6

    Jun 2021 - 147.2
    Nov 2021 - 147.0
    Nov 2023 - 164.6
    I find maintenance terrifying and boring in equal measure, so I am trying different tactics this time: firstly, challenging myself to keep within a range this time around (target range set in HappyScale), hence the use of recorded and trend weights below; secondly, posting in the Maintainer’s Check-in.

    Recorded Weight/Trend on week ending:
    April 6: 151.0/150.7
    April 13: 149.4/149.8
    April 20: 147.8/148.5

    Success of the week: I got back into my ‘ideal’ maintenance range this morning (147.4). Hurrah!

    Successes/struggles of the week: Still trying to get back on track, which three days in a row of high carbs, sodium, and calories didn't help with, combined with TOM weight retention. Have been getting workouts in and a good amount of steps the past couple of weeks, which should help a bit.

    HEAVIEST weight: 171.6lb in 2021
    Starting weight: 164.6lb
    Total Weight lost: 17.2lb
    Time it took to lose: 162 days
    How long in maintenance: Arrived within my ideal range today!
    Maintenance weight range:110.2-149.9lb
    My ideal: 142.5-147.5lb
    I lose successfully with MFP, and then I get lazy with logging or quit caring and slowly my weight creeps up again. Here’s a sample of the highlights and lowlights!
    Dec 2014 - 165.8
    Oct 2015 - 144.8
    Feb 2017 - 148.6
    Jan 2021 - 171.6
    May 2021 - 149.6
    June 2021 - 147.2
    Nov 2021 - 147.0
    Nov 2023 - 164.6
    I find maintenance terrifying and boring in equal measure, so I am trying different tactics this time: firstly, challenging myself to keep within a range this time around (target range set in HappyScale), hence the use of recorded and trend weights below: secondly, posting in the Maintainer’s Check-in.

    Recorded Weight/Trend on week ending:
    April 6: 151.0/150.7
    April 13: 149.4/149.8
    April 20: 147.8/148.5
    April 27: 149.4/149.0

    Successes of the week: Stayed within calorie/macro goals.

    Struggles of the week: a Chinese takeaway, homemade Thai food, and lots of driving this week… so not surprised to see the scale reflect some water retention. Looking forward to the ‘whoosh’ when it disappears!
