I have no idea why the scale went up this week! I'm irritated but I'm going to try to just keep doing what I'm doing. Consistency is key, right?

I don't know what to say, Destiny! Stay the course, and see what happens before you make any drastic changes. Does your scale only weigh in whole numbers? You could be fluctuating around the 159.5 mark, so not actually gaining a whole pound.1 -

There's a nice loss, Karyn! Not the same pace as before, but you are smaller and fitter, so maybe it is to be expected?0 -

I've lowered my deficit to 500 calories after my maintenance break, aiming for around 1 pound a week loss.
But, as long as it keeps going in the right direction, I'm not too worried anymore how long it's going to take. I am at my lowest ever adult weight now, so every extra pound lost is a bonus.
I still have around 2 stone (28 lbs) to lose to get to a healthy BMI, but I feel that taking it slower will help when I switch to maintenance not to rebound and gain back any of the weight like I have done so many other times.
It's kind of strange, yet freeing, to be actually focusing on a feasible longer term (life) goal, and not just "I need to lose this weight NOW"

What a very healthy mindset! With aiming for a small deficit each week, and hitting the gym and the rink regularly like you do, it probably doesn't even feel like you are trying to lose weight, much less leaving yourself feeling deprived at all! The switch to maintenance will be seamless, with a much higher chance of long term success...which should be everyone's goal, not just, like you said, "I need to lose this weight NOW!"1 -
