    This has been great thx for creating this thread. It's been a good motivator to get my butt in gear and be accountable.

    Could keep this one going, perhaps change title to something different to incorporate further months?

    Question????

    I found this thread very motivating. Thankyou all for joining. I was wondering if you would like to continue. We can either:
    - continue the thread as it
    - Start a new thread for February and every month from there on
    - Or stop

    ???

    I'd love to continue. I think it's motivating and helpful to see how others are managing maintenance.

    +1 Another vote that a new thread opens up every month and/or season. Even if nobody reads my updates, I like this checking in thing. Also, it's nice to see how others are doing, especially those who have been maintaining longer than I have.

    I think we should continue as is, just maybe post our February numbers in February, March numbers in March and so forth. It's a great motivation and way to support each other, but I don't think breaking it up on a new thread every month would be as good. It it's all together, one can always look back for references without unearthing old threads.

    Definitely up for carrying on - excellent idea! I've found this really useful. Maybe rename the thread so it's not just January, but carry on the same thread so that we can refer back easier?

    Name:Pam
    starting weight 176.4
    current weight 133.4
    height: 5'4"
    age :45
    Total Weight lost:42-45 lbs
    Time it took to lose:5 months
    How long in maintenance:1 month
    Maintenance weight range:130-135

    I am happy to join, I suck at maintenance but as I am getting older, currently 45, I don't want to have to LOSE weight again. As of today 1/29 I am 133.4 and would like to get down to 130...so I'm not quite at maintenance...but I am building strength and if I never get there...under 135 is acceptable.

    Success/struggles of the week:Yesterday I passed up Breakfast at Big Boy, Donuts my hubby brought home and pizza he ordered for a party... I did enjoy one thick slice of homemade bread with jelly! It kinda sucks to be the ONLY one watching their calories at your house.

    GW -126

    weight today - 128, has been for a week and a half now. Unlike me to hold onto bloat daily normally i fluctuate lots, I've not over eaten enough to gain 2 lbs, i may have worked out hard enough to annoy my muscles and make them bloat though i've gone pretty crazy on them and its also TOM next week so, i will wait till that is over and see what the scale says after that and address the issue. (if there is one!) My gut is telling me after TOM is done ill look leaner and my muscle memory will have bounced back a little more, hopefully!

    Love the thread. Would like to keep it going and change the name instead of having to find the new thread every month.

    3 months to loose.
    happy range 128.9 - 131.8

    2 Jan 59.5 kg, 131.1
    9 Jan 59.2kg, 130.5
    16 Jan 58.1kg, 128
    23 Jan 58.6kg 129
    30 Jan 58.1kg, 128

    Highs/lows- Happy with my first month of maintaince, I have maintained. At this point I'll be logging my food for a while. Without mfp I would be filled up on high calorie meals and slipping back to old habits. Still learning to reconcile when I get bit too light during the week but weekends aren't as active and I tend to eat more cico. This thread has shown me that it all balances out. Thanks for the thread what ever way it continues I am definitely in.

    Name: Nikki
    Total weight lost: 30 pounds
    Time it took to lose: 2 years (maintenance was hard for me, kept bouncing up)
    How long in maintenance: 4 months
    Maintenance range: 140 - 145

    Week of...
    2nd January: 143.6
    9th January: 143.0
    16th January: 144.2
    23rd January: 145.4
    30th January: 144.6

    Definitely been a struggle this month, work stress is high and I'm an emotional eater. Trying to focus on fitness rather than a scale number but I want the number to be in control.

    I vote to continue for February, but perhaps a new thread should start.

    Success/Struggle for the week: My struggle this last week was my nearly constant cravings for sugar. What the heck is up with that? My success is that I aced my weekly Fitbit goals!
