Success/struggles of the week: Finished off painting the walls of my house and staying within maintaince range. Very greatfull not packing on weight due to poor choices and lack of exercise calories. My current struggle is with my skirting boards, waiting for the gloss enamel paint to dry on them, cutting and prepping more skirting boards so they can be also ready to be fixed to the walls. In the meantime not reaching for biscuits whilst waiting for paint to dry. At least I might be able to walk the dogs this week and should make my steps target unlike this last week.

Success/struggles of the week: Some time around the winter holidays, I started eating less fruits in favor of holiday goodies, so I've been incorporating more fruit in my diet again. I don't want to rely too heavily on my multivitamin for all of my vitamins.

Success/struggles of the week: Last month was a struggle for me, I'm dealing with a new reaction to gluten and am discovering how many foods I assumed were safe are not. My reaction has been to hold several pounds of water, for several days, after ingesting gluten, but I'm now reacting differently (hello bathroom) so need to be much more proactive. There's a definite learning curve, and I'm finding that many people have issues with grains rather than just gluten so I'll be experimenting to see what my actual issue is.3 -

Total Weight lost: 70 pounds
Time it took to lose: about 10 months. I have actually dropped about 10 pounds below my original goal.
How long in maintenance: Started maintenance July 25th, but still trying to actually maintain.
Maintenance weight range: 126-130
(New)Average weight recorded from previous month: 127.1

27th February:
Success/struggles of the week: My weight has been the same the last 3 Mondays which is odd. I am still losing a little and trying to figure out how many calories I need for maintenance. I dropped down to 124.8 a couple of days this week, but my trendweight is 126.4 so even though my actual weigh is a little under goal range my average weight is still ok. I increased my goal by 100 cals per day. I'll see how that goes and maybe increase it again next week until I stop losing.4 -

That's actually today's weight, somewhat high, thanks to Superbowl indulgences, expecting that to go down to normal. I'm not tracking weight on any other app than mfp, and it doesn't give me average, but i don't feel like bothering to figure it out. Lowest of the week were days with 150.8-151 on the scale, and I'm really happy with that. I keep on getting comments from strangers how fit and lean and muscular i look, and honestly, i love hearing that. I feel so vain for admitting it, but it's true. Aside from that, i also love the way i feel physically, but not always emotionally. So that's still a struggle, to get my emotions back to more leveled and pleasant. On the upside, i menage more consistent riding schedule, and being on my bike puts me in a total tranquil place, i love it so much. Rode before work today, feel absolutely amazing. Going to try to hung on to it for the rest of the day.5 -

Success/struggles of the week:
- I was really ill all week and I was feeling nauseous and put off food some days. That has showed on the scale. Need to recover asap and pull myself together. My flu has also triggered my migraine so I'm having a party.
- I've been extra extra sedentary the past week. I need to up my daily step to at least 5k+ even if I'm not 100% so that I don't fall back to be a couch potato.
(I forgot to update my "how long in maintenance" info. One more month added of course)2 -

Success/Struggle for the week: Did great on my fitness last week. Missed one day of goal on Fitbit, but nailed the other days way above. Struggle is once again craving for sweets! I bought some fun new flavors of Dannon Light and Fit yogurt which are only 80 calories and they really are tasty and feel like dessert.5 -
Name: Stephen
Weight Lost (Jan-Dec 2016): 77 pounds
6th February: 182.8 pounds (trend)
13th February:
20th February:
27th February:
Trend dropped by 0.2 pounds this week; goal weight is 185 pounds, so I'm running a little low, as I'd like to stay between 183-187.
Back in the gym this week, alternating days of 60 minutes cardio (elliptical) and 60 minutes strength (primarily bodyweight), followed by 30 minutes stretching; planning to do 2-hours walks instead of the gym on Saturday and Sunday to change things up.
TDEE looks to be settling in at 3,150 calories, so need to up daily intake somewhat. Still somewhat cautious / leery on that point...

Name: Sara
Total Weight lost: 50ish pounds
Time it took to lose: 6 months + a few months of slower loss as I transitioned into maintenance
How long in maintenance: 3+ years

Success/struggles of the week: We moved this past weekend and wow, what an 'adventure' its been! Seller decided the day before we were supposed to take occupancy that she no longer wanted to leave/move, (closing was at the beginning of January, so we've owned the house for a month at this point but she had a 30 day occupancy window to move out that ended on Sunday at noon). Things got very nasty and we found out that she must have some mental health issues that came out in full force (her realtor thinks she's bi-polar based on info from the ex-husband/her behavior). Numerous threats were made against us and the realtors involved and she trashed the house, (broke windows, stole items from the house like door knobs, dumped water and cleaning supplies on all the floors, smeared dog 'stuff' on floors and walls etc etc). Crazy thing is this wasn't a foreclosure situation and she listed the house for sale! Anywhoo long story short-we are now very familiar with the sheriff's deputies in the area
Because of all of that my eating has been all over the place and my weight hasn't even been a thought over the past few days. Got on the scale this morning though and was pleased to see where I was at-still on trend to get my maintenance range a bit lower.4 -

@crzycatlady1 Um... Holy... Just, wow. I'm sorry you went through all that, but glad you've got at least one thing going alright. I hope the clean-up wasn't too nuts for you... and that insurance or SOMETHING can be done to ease the insanity! In your place, I'd likely have gained a few pounds from an excess intake of alcohol... J/S.
Way to go, lady. Good luck with the house and psycho former owner.2 -
