Success/struggles of the week: About a pound of that weight loss is water weight from starting blood pressure medication, but another pound is from diet and exercise. I am happy with how my body looks and feels, but I'm going to see if my blood pressure is happier with a lower weight. So I am going to head over to one of the loss check-in threads for a couple months.3 -

Name: Macchiatto
Height: 5'7.3"
Total Weight lost: 30 lbs
Time it took to lose: came off in stages over several years (with some unfortunate yoyo'ing in there)
How long in maintenance: Since March 8. I "maintained" within 5 lbs of goal for about a year before this.
Maintenance weight range: 128-133
Moving average end of January: 132.8
Moving average end of February: 133.3
Moving average end of March: 132.1
Moving average end of April: 130.8
Week of...
3rd April : 131.0
10th April : 133.4 (bounced up one day thanks to TOM)
17th April :130.8
24th April : 130.8 (trend weight is now also down to 130.8)
1st May: 130.2
8th May: 134.4 (Way up after my birthday weekend! I was 128.8 on Thursday morning.)
Success/struggles of the week: Well, the birthday indulgences were planned. Hopefully it will drop back off fairly quickly though TOM is due any day now so that might delay things a little.
A struggle was with stamina. I have a 5K on Saturday and my running stamina last week was a lot lower than usual. I had to cut a few of my runs in half. I've been struggling for a few weeks now with both strength and stamina and feeling like I take a lot longer to recover. Not sure what that's about.2 -

Success/struggles of the week: I had a really good week. I think I am finally maintaining. My weight fluctuated as usual, but my trendweight stayed at 125.3 all week and only went up to 125.5 over the weekend. I am going to try to just keep an eye on that trend and hope that it stays the same.3 -

Success/struggles of the week: increased my calories by ab 200 and down two lbs in a week. New to maintenance. I was hoping to maintain at 140 but see there is a range so I decided to try and maintain between 135 and 140. I was scared of maintenance and think it will be hard but I know I can do it! Happy to find this thread3 -
@macchiatto I, too, have struggled with stamina in running the past few weeks. Stick with it. I pushed through whatever it was - spring?, time change? in a rut? Whatever, I seem to be back on track and know you will be as well.3

29th May:
Success / struggles of the week: I'm dropping down my maintenance range, I've seen the scale go down to 144.6 (just to bounce somewhat up, of course ). I would like to be able to go below 140, and see how i would feel once i get there. I'm still going to be in the normal bmi range. I've been spending more time on my bike since the days are much longer now, riding after work and on the weekends. The lighter i am, the more fun it is. I'm improving my stats as well, really happy about that. So I'm really motivated to lower my weight a little more and see how that would work for me.7 -
