Success/struggles: big weekend with parties and houseguests. Monday was a bust but I was in the gym every day after. I dropped the calories and ate clean for the week and I am about where I was last week. Working on staying strong until I leave for the holidays as I am certain that I won’t be as free while I am away, though I will do the best I can. Rehab is a pain. I just wish I could ruuuuun.3 -
Wow, I see a lot of us are staying at or below our target maintenance weight! Keep up the great work, ladies. I think something to keep in mind is weighing in underweight. I am guilty of this. I know it is hard to find that happy balance in maintenance. We are all afraid to re-gain that damn weight, however being underweight is almost as dangerous as being overweight. I must confess, I am still a couple pounds underweight, but so far my doc is OK with it. What say you? P.S. Still 116#.6

@mk2fit I wonder if that feeling of being "afraid to regain" the weight back ever does go away?!?! It always mingles at the back of my mind. And it has also led to me pushing other things in life away.
I was severely overweight for 25 years and gained back large amounts twice during that time. I don't think the fear of regaining will ever go away, but I see that as a good thing. It helps keep me on track. Underweight is not my problem and I doubt it will ever be. Focus on maintaining a HEALTHY weight!3 -

I think as long as we feel OK and are eating to our plan, have energy, muscle etc.. that it's OK to be a little light on the "charts". I am keeping a close eye on the moving avg from the Happy Scale ap. I am a little light to my range right now but so hard to see real trends just yet... and.... Unfortunately, I am now dealing with an injury which is keeping my running in check so until I start working out again I am cutting out 200-300 cals per day off my maintenance. It's a guess because all my data for cals in includes my running 25-30 miles per week but this too is a learning experience. I am trying to think of it as **another set of information** for what level my maintenance eating needs to be when I am injured. I have been thinking about that anyway as a whether to eat more when I work out harder (daily fluctuations) or whether to keep my weekly calories at the same level without fluctuations. I tend to want to stay ahead of the game and not end up trending up but it's all new to me right now. Interesting question to pose. Thanks for letting me be a part of this team.3 -

@mk2fit You are so right. I have had to lower my maintenance range several times. I still have 10-12 pounds to go before I would be considered underweight. But it is so hard not to worry about re-gaining. It is easy to tell myself that I don't want to lose any more weight and believe it. But the idea that maybe I should gain a couple of pounds is hard to deal with. I guess because once I started counting calories the weight came off as expected, but once I tried to start maintaining I have continued to slowly lose. I guess I worry that if I try to gain back a couple of pounds when I stop trying to gain and just maintain I will slowly continue to gain. I do feel good where I am, and my running is going well. I honestly think I am eating more now than when I was fat. I'm just a lot more active. For now i will just try to make sure I hit my goal every day and not have too many days under. And next week with Christmas coming up I will try not to worry if I go over. But it is so hard not to fear gaining the weight back.4

Success/struggles of the week: continued to struggle with completing end of year deadline projects - that should be done now as the cut off for all projects against the 2017 budget was yesterday!
But then I got in a car accident yesterday afternoon (my first ever), so I am home bound in the snow while waiting for the claims agent to approve my rental car. Should be up and running by Monday. Just glad no one was hurt...
I can feel that my body is stressed - my legs and ribs are sensitive to the touch. I just know I have a lot of cortisol built up over the last two weeks - the “whoosh” effect should be coming any day now once I let go of the stress and water weight. Just got to take it one day at a time and focus on the big picture.

Also, when you are rehabbing an injury and you know that there is a loss of muscle, if you want your clothes to fit the same way...I don’t want to have to lose fat again just to stay the same # on the scale. That said, I have only been in maintenance for 7 months it’s a lot of trial and error. As long as my docs are ok, I am ok being a little under. I am also ok being a little over when I know my muscles are heavier during the winter/ skiing months as my body is a tool that allows me to do the activities that I want. Such a journey.0

@mk2fit , definitely there's the ever present awareness of regaining. Although, having been maintaining for over a year, i feel a lot mor confident in my ability to keep it off. I have quite a few experiences of loosing weight and regaining lbs lost plus some extra. But i know that in the past I've made a mistake of making the change a temporary thing, cutting out certain foods or even groups of food altogether (reference to you, "atkins diet"!), and obviously temporary change provided temporary result. So now my approach is different, it's a permanent way of eating and moderating my needs and wants. I'm not underweight by any means, and i catch myself getting upset if i see scale climbing up a few pounds and staying there a few days too many, or opposite, if it goes down some, i give myself a quick pat on the back (not literally, but still...). So at this point i would say it's not a fear so much, but realization of having to be vigilant and paying attention without fail, probably for the rest of my life, as far as i can see. I have to say, this thread is so encouraging, love to see people here overcoming their difficulties and sharing positive experiences. Thank you, everyone, for your honesty, support and participation.1 -
Great feedback everyone. Thanks! It is nice to know I am (we are) not alone in this.1

Age: 59
Height: 5'1.75"
Total Weight lost: ~32 lbs
Time it took to lose: 4 months
How long in maintenance: 10 weeks
Maintenance weight range: 99-101

Average weight recorded from November: 100.9
Avg 26 Nov thru 2 Dec 99.8
Avg 3 Dec - 9 Dec 99.1
Avg 10 Dec - 16 Dec 98.9
Success/struggles of the week/month: 11 weeks in to maintaining and my first real challenge. I thought the weather and the shorter daylight would be my nemesis, but it turns out that at 59 you can run into a door with your hip and put yourself totally out of commission. sigh. Yeah. No running for a while so I am going to have to play with cals in for a couple of weeks to see what the trends are. Expect the next couple trends to be up. Trying to look on the bright side and maybe a couple weeks off running after hitting it hard since July will allow all those little aches and pains to heal up totally too. It will also be informational for me to see what my intake needs to be without working out hard.2 -

And next week with Christmas coming up I will try not to worry if I go over. But it is so hard not to fear gaining the weight back.
I feel the same way the fear of regaining makes me keep losing. I know I'm at a healthy weight and battle every day with trying to eat the calories I can. I know in my head I've got to start although when I eat more I get full quickly and stop eating.1 -

Thanks, @CoachJen71. Appreciate the kind words.
I think we are both worse for wear at the moment when it comes to lack of sleep these days. Cheers to the ability for us both to prioritize sleep better moving forward. I sincerely think sleep impacts our ability to make good decisions (willpower) throughout the day. Let’s see what a new week brings!1 -

Successes/struggles: I am not amused about the scale number this morning - I know it is water retention (was at 126.2 4 days ago), but I haven't seen 130 since sometime in June. Downloaded Habitbull to help me stay committed to tracking (which I haven't been doing), reduce alcohol consumption, along with a few other personal improvement habits.
Thank you for this thread! I wasn't going to report today because of the scale number, but I realized all of you are here to support one another - not to judge.

Name: Kristen
Age : 39
Height : 5'11

Time it took to lose: about 5 months
How long in maintenance: I'm not sure I'd actually call it maintainance as I'm still slowly losing...set my calories higher on Sept. 25th
Maintenance weight range: 145 - 150 lbs (Revised range as of 12/18)
Average for October 2017: 146.2
Average for November 2017: 143.4
Week of Dec 3rd: 141.8, 142.4 trend
Week of Dec 10th 140.4, 141.9 trend
Week of Dec 17th 140.2, 141.0 trend
Week of Dec 24th
Week of Dec 31st:
Successes: Scale weight is staying basically the same. Trend is going down. I have a feeling it's on it's way back up - but we'll see. I started not logging on the weekends, just to see if I can get the scale move up a bit. I'd feel better at 145. So, I'll go through Christmas with logging weekdays, not logging weekends, and see if we can get it budge.
Struggles: I saw 139.6lbs on the scale Wednesday (every day weigher, record it all in Libra, may be obsessive but it helps to keep on track). Now, granted, I still have 7lbs until I'm considered underweight, but I have NEVER seen that number on the scale when I've been on it. I'm sure it's normal or even high for most but when you are 5'11, it's pretty darn low.
My parents are heading here Sunday from Pittsburgh for a few days. We have the menu planned out - I'll start baking cookies Friday while I'm off work - still need to do lots of cleaning. I'm going to enjoy those cookies without guilt and get back on track in January.
I may not check in until Wednesday next week. Ok, back to work. Hope you all have a wonderful week and a great holiday!4 -

Successes. Lost a total of 5st. four and a half years ago I tipped the scales at my heaviest at 12st13. Lost 2st 2lb back then so was down to 10st11lb. Was starting to creep back up again but didn't realise until I saw a photo from xmas last year and I thought, Oh No!! Not happening! Time to lose the rest, Hopped on the scales on the 10th Jan 17 and was greeted with the result of 11st3! Not happy, But I am ecstatic now. Have lost all of the weight and I am very proud of myself.
Struggles. Seeing weight fluctuations. HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT!! I know this is normal but I tried maintaining in Sept/Oct and as you can see, I put a few lbs back on and to be honest I wasn't truly happy with what I saw in the mirror. I found that you put the original water weight lost at the beginning, so decided to get down to 8st and I am now very happy with what I see, (I am as of today actually 7st13) I will be even happier when I start building some muscle. I also have what looks like a deflated balloon in my stomach when I do a plank but even that's got smaller.
Goals. To start weight training/strength exercising in Jan so I can tighten up my tummy, Butt, Boobs, arms, Well basically everywhere.

Success/struggles of the week:
Quite amazing the way a liberalized diet can trigger appetite and cravings, for me anyway! It's no wonder so many successful dieters get sucked back into the black hole of weight re-gain! I am so grateful that MRP has a "Maintainers" category, and that fidangul set up this thread - and that you all contribute to it - nothing like reading all that commentary from other Maintainers to learn the lay of the land... to not panic and to soldier on, to actually truly believe that I will eventually (as night follows day) be measuring my "maintaining" time in years, not just weeks.
I've dialled back on the sugary chocolatey treats to free myself from the torment of wanting more, More, MORE! And I'm aiming for a modest daily deficit to eliminate my small remaining weight gain - really enjoying the "nip it in the bud" approach! Sad to say that my Fitbit vanished without a trace almost two weeks ago... I had been maintaining rigorous records of calories in vs. calories out, and expected weight loss vs. actual weight loss for almost a year, and that all came to a grinding halt! But an awesome close friend on the other side of the world is mailing me hers because she has stopped using it. I will have to work out a high-level security plan to keep track of it!
Wishing you all a serenity and joy filled week and a Happy Christmas. My favourite stress-reduction tip, if you're looking for one, is to remind myself that it's OK to scale back, and to simplify!6 -

31st December:
Success/struggles of the week: I was trending down this week. I actually logged in at 117.2 on Sunday and that is the lowest I have been since I was a teenager and really lower than I would like. My weight was back up this morning, but I am still both weighing and trending under my range. I feel like this morning was just a fluctuation since we went out for Mexican food last night and I had beer and dessert. Plus I had run 9 miles earlier that day and I scarfed down the chips because I was starving. I am kind of hoping that it wasn't just a fluctuation because I feel like I need to be weighing in at least at 120. My husband has his work Christmas party tonight and there will be plenty of food this weekend so I am going to try to just enjoy myself and know that even if I over eat a little I could probably use some extra calories. And I know that after Christmas I will be able to get back on track and not over eat and I won't just suddenly gain all of my weight back. I really am grateful for this thread. It helps to know there are others with the same issues and it also helps to be able to "complain" about losing more weight than intended without people saying they wished they had that problem. I probably won't get to weigh in until Tuesday next week. Merry Christmas to all!5 -

I had my first epidural in my neck today. It was rough but not horrible. It will be a few days to a couple weeks to see if it helps. Today is light duty but tomorrow back to normal.
I made some photo calendars online of pics of me and my friends hikes this year. I included a motivational quote for each month. I received them today and they came out really great! I know my friends will love them.5 -
