.... I'll be away from my own scale during August but hopefully I'll be back in time for September. I know some of us have found this thread to be of some use so I didn't want you to miss out.
I'll be visiting family and I hope that I will still be able to maintain. I won't be looking forward to my first weigh-in when I get back.
Any who, whenever I get chance to connect to Wifi I'll be taking a sneaky peek.5 -
have fun and thanks for keeping this thread alive! Portion control is your friend.3

Struggles: not many. I did have Thai food on Sunday which bumped my number up due to sodium.
Successes: I had a great run yesterday and I started c210k for structure. I was good about my morning work outs.
Upcoming week plan: Continue C210k and follow the program. 3 treadmill runs, 3 outdoor runs and complete all challenges. Eating the meal plan and cutting out the snacks. Getting that last fluff off before my travels next week. Nose to the grindstone.
@fidangul have a great vacation! Thanks for setting this up.5 -

Success/struggles of the week: I have experienced some setbacks in my personal life and have not been tracking as faithfully as I'd like. My weight crept up to 138, which is not where I want to be. I've decided to lose 5 pounds, so my weight range falls between 133 and 135. Sometimes maintenance requires a reset!6 -
Not in maintenance yet but following this thread as it is so inspirational! Thank you to everyone for sharing.6

Name: Jen
Age: 45
Height: 5'2.5"
Total Weight lost:140lbs
Time it took to lose: 2.75yrs
How I lost it: My story (PhotoBucket broke my pics. Still working on fixing this.)
How long in maintenance : I declared it at 140 in January 2016, but that was too high for a petite lady. Redeclared it 4/14/17.
Maintenance weight range: Would like to stay under 123 at morning weigh-in.
Ongoing struggle: I still need to learn to trust my body cues, be content with eating just enough, and stop asking food to be more than just fuel. Life after work is just filled with getting steps and eating food to fill my evening. Really need to make peace with having fewer cals to work with. Contentment and an attitude of gratitude (and maybe a hobby, like sign language) are the order of the day.
January avg weight: 126.8lbs
February avg weight: 126.1lbs
March avg weight: 124.6lbs
April avg weight: 122.9lbs
May avg weight: 123.4lbs
June avg weight: 122.6lbs
July avg weight: 122.3lbs
Week of...
28th July: 121.8lbs
4th August: 120.7lbs (Loss mainly reflects banking, so lower food intake means less glycogen and sodium water retention, and less waste.)
Successes of the week: Succeeding somewhat with dialing cals back without majorly upping activity level past 20K steps to help build a deficit, although getting down to 1200 cals gross only seems to work if I skip breakfast and morning snack. Seems like it is better to let sleeping stomachs lie! LOL
Challenges of the week:
Humidity and arthritis, procrastination of important things I need to deal with.2 -

Forget about the weigh-in. Just make as many good choices as you can and enjoy your family time.1 -

I know what you mean about faithful tracking. I keep sneaking in extra bites.
I hope the setbacks resolve positively and quickly, and that your weight settles back down as painlessly as possible! *hugs*

Wow! You are an amazing person to make such donation!!2 -
Thank you @CoachJen71 for your kind positive words! I have been relying on my MFP friends for encouragement and to keep me honest when it comes to tracking. It's been a better week!2

Struggles: I did not work out at al this weekend which I normally do at least one day.
Successes: I was good about my mornings and made all my week days and worked out well. I was within my calorie range at least 5 of the last 7. Even when I had ice cream yesterday!
Upcoming week plan: I leave tomorrow for my two week trip. I will try to work out when I can, eat well, when I can and have fun! I'll check in possibly by probably won't have access to a scale and at any rate, it won't be my scale.2 -

Success/struggles of the week:
Getting my steps in over the first week in August has been .... a challenge. A combination of gruesome British weather and a tardy OH. other commitments also impacted on my classes at the gym - only 2 Pilates classes, and one of them replaced my Body Pump class ( don't know what I've done to my shoulder!!).
Successes - despite eating Chinese food and in a restaurant twice since August 3rd, (a reunion and a birthday), my weight hasn't drifted too far. Only up a lb, and drinking plenty of water will resolve that.
The next few weeks will be more of a challenge - no access to scales and I'm on holiday - so wine, scones and ice cream will feature large in my logging.
