Hello everyone!!!
I'm finally back home. However, I've forgotten that today was my weigh-in so I'll be doing it tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it at all. But I need to find out ASAP. Anything below 75kg will be okay with me. Anything above will mean that I went crazy overboard on eating.
I'll be checking in tomorrow and will update in short as possible the past month's highs and lows.

Struggles: i am petty sure this weight is a sodium bomb so I am drinking lots of water and just keeping on keeping on. I had a procedure done on Wednesday and couldn't work out for two days.
Successes: I did manage to do my long slow run on Sunday. Definitely slow but almost my longest run to date. 0.2 miles less than my longest ever. Pretty proud. I helped my parents sign up for mfp. I highly doubt they are capable of. Wing honest enough with themselves to see the program work. Sigh. Each persons journey is their own.
Upcoming week plan: stick to the running training schedule and keep trucking. Add 2 hikes in/ week to get my legs used to climbing as I drove the race course and it is very hilly. I can only train on the flats so I have to do something to prepare for that.

Success/Struggles:
This is the last quiet week I have until everything starts moving again--and moving fast!--on the 18th. I'll have family members visiting several times in the next month. Then work will become more hectic when university classes begin on the 20th. I'm a librarian and will be working the reference desk which will be chaos, but wonderful, energetic chaos. This is a bittersweet time for me as I'm retiring at the end of October. Add to that a slew of routine medical tests and doctor appointments.
I'm preparing for all this! A visit to the spa for a facial and a mani/pedi and another appointment for the same in October. I'm thinking of adding a massage. Cleaned and organized my closet. Deep cleaned the house and added special touches to the guest room. Menu planning, grocery shopping, and as much meal prep as possible. Scheduling exercise, meditation, and lots of sleep time. What have I forgotten?4 -

September 4th 175.4
September 11th 174.4
Success/struggles of the week: I am at a healthy weight and I have made peace with my body so I claim goal today and join the maintenance club! My BMI is currently 24.3 and I am happy and healthy. My only struggle is finding a way to afford more groceries to actually maintain my weight. My best plan is to have money freed up in January so I might lose 10 pounds or so between now and then but I will still be at a healthy BMI.4 -
Name: Kathryn
Height: 5'3.5"
Total Weight lost: ~73 lbs (I dropped about 13 lbs below original goal)
Time it took to lose: 10 months (to original goal of 135)
How long in maintenance: I called maintenance in July 2016, but I have continued to slowly lose so I'm not really sure.
Maintenance weight range: 120 - 125 lbs
Average weight recorded from January: 127.1
Average weight recorded from February: 126.5
Average weight recorded from March: 126.2
Average weight recorded from April: 124.9
Average weight recorded from May: 124.9
Average weight recorded from June: 122.8
Average weight recorded from July: 122.1
Average weight recorded from August: 122.5
Week of...
4th September: 121.2 scale/ 122.1 trend
11th September: 119.6 scale/ 121.9 trend
18th September:
25th September:
Success/struggles of the week: My scale weight is a little below my range, but my trend weight is still in the range so I am not too worried. I didn't have much of an appetite this weekend and I guess it shows on my weigh in. I have a feeling that I will be up again soon. I will admit though that it did kind of make me feel good to see 119 on the scale. I haven't been that weight since I was 19 years old. It is probably a little too low for me now at 49. Although I never really know if it is true that older women should weigh more or if that is just one of those things that "they" say. Like that once you pass 40 you should wear your hair shorter. For the most part things are good. I feel good and have plenty of energy. My yoga and running are going well and I really love being active. Most of the time I feel like I eat a lot, and I certainly don't feel like I don't eat enough. I probably should have eaten more yesterday after my run, but I didn't feel hungry so I didn't force it. I think that the days I don't hit my calorie goal are balanced with the days I do go over it and that is really what maintenance is.4 -
Height: 5'4"
SW 177 lbs (probably higher but wasn't weighing)
GW 140

11th September: 137.8 (??)
18th September:
25th September:
Success: I'm continuing with exercise and using the elliptical more, building up my time. I don't have any upper body strength and like the workout I'm getting for my arms.
Struggles: I'm not sure why the weight gain, unless my scale is off, which is possible. I'm eating the same kind of food. I didn't eat an extra 7500 calories this week.

Success/struggles of the week: My scale weight dropped below my range, but the trend weight is still in the range so I am not going to worry about it. I didn't eat as much this weekend as usual and I'm sure that it will be back up in a few days. It was a bit of an ego boost to see 119 on the scale. I haven't been that weight since I was 19. It may be a little low for me now at 49, but it was still kind of nice to see. I never really know if older women should weigh more or if that is just one of those things that "they" say. Like you shouldn't wear your hair long after 40. I feel good and I think I look good. My yoga and my running are both going great and I feel so much more energetic than I did a couple of years ago.2 -
I tried twice to post my update. I got a message saying that it would be posted as soon as it was approved. I have no idea what that is all about. I guess if it doesn't show up then I will try again later. And if it shows up twice then my apologies.0

@RedSierra Weight fluctuates during maintenance just as it did during losing. I assume you've experienced that before? That's why it's a good idea to have a maintenance "range" just as you do. Your weight is up 1.6 lbs, that's normal water fluctuation, or poop, or whatever. You're still well within your maintenance range, so don't stress. It could be gone tomorrow!0

It's been a little bit of a crazy week, taking someone to the ER, etc (all is ok). My steps are a little lower than they've been this summer and I might have missed one day of swimming, but I've still tried to keep it going. It's not going to do me any good to flake out when others are struggling, and proper nutrition and fitness is key to that. Whatever life throws your way, do "something" that is part of your plan. It's always better than doing nothing!
Cheered on some friends yesterday who completed a triathalon-sprint (1/2 mile open water swim, 17 mile bike, and 5k run), so that was a lot of fun! I'm glad I was on the cheering end of this event, lol.

Thanks, lorrp, I appreciate the reminder. I know what you said is true, but it's still jarring when my weight jumps like that. I do not want to gain it back!0 -
@kgirlhart I don't see why one needs to weigh more just because they have aged. Unless there's a health reason that I don't know of. If you truly feel good then what's the problem? FYI Your profile picture looks fab- not just "good".3

Success/struggles of the week:
Success: I am so happy to be here! I've been eating a LCHF diet for the past seven years and a year ago began eating a ketogenic diet which I will continue. Exercise stays the same (yoga, HIIT on a stationary bike for 30 minutes and walking every day along with strength training 2-3 times a week). Daily 16:8 daily intermittent fasting. I've weighed myself daily for the past two years and will continue doing that. I wouldn't mind losing a few more pounds but my doctor says that, at my age and with a large body frame, this is a good goal weight for me.
Struggles: I am very anxious about how well I'll be able to maintain. It would be so easy to slip back into bad habits.

Success/struggles of the week:
Success: I am so happy to be here! My original goal weight was 165 I surpassed that and now going to try to maintain for awhile and think about if I want to loose 10 more pounds. I am very near the top of my BMI. Sunday's are me weigh in days. While technically I am not at my goal weight I'm figuring as I plan around with calories I will be very soon.
Struggles: I am very anxious about how well I'll be able to maintain. It would be so easy to slip back into bad habits. I have done this before and do not want to start all over again this time in my life.

25th September:
Success: I'm eating a mostly plant-based diet. Added sugar was/is a trigger food for me. I'm not good with moderation, so I cut most added sugar out of my diet last year. I no longer eat sweets and don't miss them (I will eat an apple instead). My cholesterol was out of control and is normal now. I aim for an hour of exercise a day.
Struggles: meal planning is essential. Sometimes I have to force myself to make food in batches, but it pays off. I don't cook much and gained weight from eating out so much. I returned to college, classes have started again, and I want to guard against getting busy and saying to heck with my health.

Barely any time or energy to eat. Now, that irma is gone, time to clean up and put homes back to normal state (mostly). We were so lucky and blessed to dodge the bullet for the most part, so grateful for that!1 -

Hey sorry if this is a stupid question... but on your weekly check-ins what does the trend weight mean? How do you calculate that?
Also, my family is down in Miami and I'm so glad as well that they weren't hit worse! Good to hear you are alright. x

@microwhisper , i use Libra app to calculate trend. All you do is input your daily, or however often you weigh yourself, and app does the rest. And yes, thank you, I'm glad your family is ok. If anyone else is here from Florida, hope all of you are ok and well1

Posting late this week
Success/struggles of the week: the past several weeks have had ups and downs. The first and last weeks were worst with regards to eating.
In general:
* 10k-15k steps every day. More 15k than usual
* Not eating out as much as I did last year
* Eating more fruit and vegetables
* Not eating out of frustration etc
* Not drinking enough water
* Not doing any formal exercise
* Drinking regular fizzy drinks instead of diet just because that was available
* Lack of sleep
I'm going to give myself until next week to settle into my new schedule . I've come back to a different daily routine. I now have early mornings which I'm struggling with because my body has gotten so used sleeping late. I hope to be able reschedule my eating times and that my body will accept it asap.
On the side, this week, I'm struggling hard with cravings. I'm constantly wanting to snack on anything whether it's sweet or savoury, food or drink.
Anywho, need to just keep going eh...5 -

Success/struggles of the week: It’s been nearly 3 weeks since I ran my first marathon. I haven’t been able to do as much running in that time compared to normal. I’ve had a few days over my calorie limit and the scale is scaring me, though still within my goal range. I’m nearly back to my pre-marathon activity level, and have nearly stopped feeling its effects. Still very happy though!

Successes/struggles of the week: Not a bad week at all, considering it included birthday celebrations (pizza and chocolate!). My trend weight has stopped trending upwards and flattened out too - which is most reassuring!
My running felt more difficult this week, but it turns out it's not because I'm less fit to run..... when I checked my pace, I've actually been running faster without realising it!
My lifting has also felt better this week. I was disappointed with having to deload after the holiday, but I'm almost back up to the same weight as before I left, and I fancy my form has improved as a result too - I definitely felt like I was squatting deeper (my legs are aching more now though

Week of September 29
Struggles/successes of the week: Maintenance is much harder than loss for me. I just don't know if I will ever have a "normal" relationship with food. Every day has its struggles and it's successes, I guess.
I was up 2lbs this week but still under my goal. I don't know. It's hard. I ate 1540 calories or less a day, and I weigh and measure everything. Everything. The Happy Scale app says I am doing well. But that Friday weigh in just kills me. Blah.

Trend week of...
25th August: 117.9lbs
1st September: 118.5lbs
8th September: 118.9lbs
15th September: 119.4lbs
Successes of the week: Been eating a bit better calorie-wise the last few days, but not respecting my GERD as I should. Turns out mint tea wasn't helping with the acid reflux, along with half the rest of my fave foods.
Challenges of the week: Balancing work, play, and sleep. Been short-changing myself on workouts and enough rest in favor of steps. Never saw that coming! :^/. Also, just found out my job hours are being cut back, so trying to cope with that stress.

Successes- very happy with my plan to switch my weigh ins to Friday still. Getting more and more relaxed by the week
Struggles- I was very concerned this week as between Sunday and Wednesday my weight continued to climb to a high of 154.7. Though still in my range, I was super worried because it kept going up, especially after weighing in at 148.6 just days prior. I think ultimately it must have been due to water weight either from an increase in carbs or an increase in sodium, though I monitor my carbs closely. So perhaps due to either the sodium or hormones, I'll have to look back at my diary. Anyway, after a few very panicky days, I'm feeling much better and the weight is back down.2
