    Thanks for starting the new thread @fidangul. I also think it would be good to carry forth the average from January.

    That's a good idea. Just add before the February average.

    So I've been 140 range for the past year and want to go back down to 135 range...

    Feb. 27th - 143.0 (had Pizza Hut Sunday night... hoping it goes back down since I've averaged 1400 calories for the week and my TDEE is supposed to be 1750).

    Success/struggles of the week-doing the 800g veggies and fruit challenge this week and saw an unexpected 1lb drop on the scale this morning. Someone said it could be water weight being flushed out by my higher potassium intake? Whatever happened, it was a nice little surprise :)

    mk here

    114 average for last two months.

    Guess what? yep, 114 this week, too.

    I did get back to running this past week, weather permitting. My leg/hip feel good and am beyond happy to be able to run again!

    P.S. Thanks @fidangul for continuing this thread!

    Success/struggles of the week: Started this week really badly (very hungry for some reason and ate loads) but managed to rein it in by Wednesday and I'm happy with how the week ended. My PT session at the gym was cancelled last Friday but has been rearranged for tonight instead. Looking forward to that! Have a good week all!

    Success/struggles of the week: Tightening up the logging after a very bumpy February of vacations and travel. Seeing progress already.

    Also finally bought a treadmill for home. This will kick start my motivation as still have another month or two of cold weather off and on.

    Finally I'm committing to more whole foods and less crackers/candy for quick snacks along with adding more protein. Time will tell but really want to get down to mid 160's for race season.

    Success/struggles of the week: I realalized only because of these threads I am still on a downward trend with my weight so I have upped my calorie intake. Even with eating over my calories every day and a couple of days of really going over my calories (baskin robins vertical Sundays twice this week) is not making much difference. I haven't been doing anything else other than steps averaged 16,500 per day and a little bit of weight training on my upper body.

    Name: Phoebe
    Total Weight lost: 40-45ish
    Time it took to lose: 15 months
    How long in maintenance: 16 months, but I had some regain about 6 months ago, and am just now getting back to where I was then. I'd like to lose another 5-10 pounds over the next year, to get my BMI out of the overweight range. So not 100% maintaining yet, but there's not a huge difference between maintaining and very slow loss.
    Maintenance weight range: 140-155
    Average weight recorded from January: 155.9
    Average weight recorded from February: 153.5

    Week of...
    5th March: 150.8 by scale, 152.1 by trend

    26th March:

    Success/struggles of the week: Stupid brain freaking out and throwing my eating all off. My Excel schedule says I'm eating within 100 calories a day of what should be my sedentary maintenance for this weight, but I'm losing 0.6 pounds a week. Trying to decide if the swimming I'm doing is actually burning a significant number of calories and I should eat some back, or if this is just random fluctuation and next month I'm going to eat the same amount and gain as things balance out. When I've experimented with logging exercise before, my NEAT and the slop in my logging changed enough that they pretty much exactly cancelled out all the exercise calories. Still too early to know if that will be the case this time, too. But my brain is apparently super unhappy about the intake vs weight change discrepancy, and wants some disordered eating to soothe itself. Worthless brain!

    Success/struggles of the week: I've been stressed all week. Midterms tend to do that. Friday was especially stressful; I don't think I panicked as much as I did then when my laptop, which holds ALL of my schoolwork, wouldn't turn on. Perhaps I should invest in Cloud storage. This weekend, I was very tired, and I didn't feel rested even after 7.5 hours of sleep. *sigh* Idk. It's a new week now, and I hope things get better.

    Success/struggles of the week: the past week I have been indulging on high calorie snacks for not reason but sheer frustration. I have not been keeping and eye on my food intake. A pattern is beginning to emerge. Nevertheless, I think that due to sticking MFP for so long my 'CICO' habits have changed naturally and for the better.

    It's the same process, just a different calorie number! Now we celebrate the scale staying in a range rather than moving down.
