    Success/struggles of the week:

    I stopped logging in my food diary since mid-week. I've been eating silly. My belly, I think, is about to explode. It is not a pleasant feeling.

    Also, can't be bothered to complete 10k steps each night. Because I've been so conscious about getting in the steps, I don't have time for other hobbies/interests. I'm gonna just try and stay naturally active without getting worried about numbers.

    I need to sort my sleeping pattern. It's not doing me any favours. I don't exactly know how I'll achieve this but it needs to improve.

    Hang in there gal! I hear you on the eat until you think your tummy will burst. I think it's the time of year. Just give yourself 3 to 4 days to get back on track and it will get better. Many hugs. I think a lot of us are going thru this right now but we are all going to maintain!!!

    Name: Kathryn
    Height: 5'3.5"
    Total Weight lost: ~76 lbs (I dropped about 16 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 2017: 123.4


    Average weight recorded from December: 119.7
    Average weight recorded from January: 119.2

    Week of...
    4th February: 119.0 scale/ 119.6 trend
    11th February: 117.6 scale/ 119.1trend
    18th February: 119.2 scale/ 119.5 trend
    25th February:

    Success/struggles of the week: My weight started low this week then went back up after some tacos and some homemade pan pizza on valentine's day. Then it came back and settled at 119 which seems to be where I am maintaining. The trend stayed at 119.something all week so I knew it was just fluctuations. It's weird because even though I don't think I need to go any lower, it still bothers me a bit when my weight is up. And up just put me back into my range which I am maintaining slightly under. Sometimes I wonder if the mind games of weight loss will ever go away.

    Homemade pizza and tacos? Are you married? If not, interested in a slightly neurotic 36 yo? J/K Slightly is probably an understatement for me! Much love and well wishes!

    @CoachJen71 - thanks for your reply - I went up to the MFP estimate to maintain at 1535/day - so then I went back to 1200 and decided to inch it up by 100 cal/day and see how that goes, will try to fine tune my real maintainance level.

    @cypressfey I bring as much pre-weighed food with me as I can. All my regular stuff like sugar-free yogurts and pb2, chicken, tumaros wraps, lite cheese sticks, tea, stevia, fat free half n half, light margarine, tic tacs/sugarless gum/hard candies, dark chocolate, etc. I aim to only eat out once per day and usually try to keep it light, unless it's really amazing.

    Trend week of...
    2nd February: 118ish????
    9th February: 117.7 (Home scale is working again.)
    16th February: 117.8
    23rd February: 118.2

    Successes of the week: Did all right while out to eat. Made good choices.

    Challenges of the week: Vacation always leads to overeating at home and then playing run away from my fork. My clothes are getting tighter and arthritis achier, so I think my new calorie plan is a bit too generous for just walking up and down my hall or lifting little hand weights. I'm going to dial back a bit and see what happens. I will be happy once I figure my numbers out!

    You got this Coach!
