    Name: Beth
    Age: 61
    Height: 5'7"
    Total Weight lost: 20 lbs, but over and over :grimace:
    Time it took to lose: 5 months this time
    How long in maintenance: almost 3 months
    Maintenance weight range: 125 - 130
    Average weight recorded from 2017 (12months): guessing 140, max 148

    Average weight January: 133 (still on .5/week loss plan)
    Average weight February: 130.5 (still on .5/week loss plan)
    Average weight March: 128.8 (mostly on .5/week loss plan)
    Average weight April: 127.5 (based on <20 weigh-ins, vacation)
    Average weight May: 128.7 yes this was high! Working on it.
    Average weight June: 127.6 happy with this

    Week of...
    24th June: 128.6 this morning. Av wt last week, 128.0 average sugar grams 99
    1st July: 126.0 this morning. Av wt last week, 127.5 average sugar grams 62
    8th July: 126.2 this morning. Av wt last week, 126.4, average sugar grams 57
    15th July, 126.0 this morning. Av wt last week, 126.6. average sugar grams 64
    22nd July, 126.6 in morning, today 23rd, 127.8. Av wt last week, 126.2, not tracking sugar guess why?

    Success/struggles of the week: I did get 10K steps every day, and 8 days was the biggest streak so far for me. Got in an emotional tangle that affected my workout motivation and had a total food blowout from Saturday night through Sunday which I have not yet logged. Working on no guilting myself over food, cause that's counterproductive.

    Name:Kathy
    Age:48
    Height:5 ft 8in
    Total Weight lost:6lbs
    Time it took to lose:2 months
    How long in maintenance:two weeks
    Maintenance weight range:132-135
    Average weight recorded from 2017 (12months):?139-142
    Struggle of the week: wine, processed sugar. Just trying to not have to buy bigger pants!

    I know we are not supposed to compare ourselves with others, but I look for stats and posts from women my height with not a tremedous amount to lose. I am so very awestruck and full of admiration for people who lose 50, 100 plus, pounds!
    I am 60 years old (so, yeah, 12 years older than you), 5'8" tall, and size 10 pants fit nicely, and I started at 167 in November 2017. My weight does not want to budge below 155, despite my committed efforts. I can't even imagine weighing in the 140's, let alone 130's! But, all things considered, I don't look half-bad, and I feel great, just lugging around more weight in the middle than I'd like to.

    So, great job! nice stats!

    Update 24th: Still learning how my body responds to overages in maintenance. Had a pretty active day yesterday and bam, weight back to 126.0. While losing I was accustomed to those bounces, knew it was just "used food" I was carrying around etc, but somehow in maintenance that 2 pounds up is terrifying. There's no reason for it to be ... even if it WAS all fat, I KNOW WHAT TO DO.

    Hey,

    So I just started maintenance when I hit the mid-point of my goal weight range about three weeks ago. I just found this thread, so I'll join in. I have been participating in some "lose X by Y" challenges, but now that I am not trying to lose, it's time to find a new challenge. I plan to continue the challenges I'm already signed up for, but I don't plan to sign up for any more of those. Thanks for keeping this one going.

    While I know my body fat estimating scale is probably horribly inaccurate, I still think I need to do some recomposition to oxidize stored fat and build some more lean mass. At my age, I know it won't be so easy, and it will take a while. That's ok. This isn't a short race; I'm in it for the long term.

    Here goes:

    Name: It's ME!
    Age: About a year older than I was last year.
    Height: About 5' 7" or just under.
    HEAVIEST weight: 175.4 about five years ago
    Total Weight lost: 31 pounds total; 24 pounds since January 2018
    Time it took to lose: About six months (assuming start date January 2018)
    How long in maintenance: Less than a month (started early July 2018)
    Maintenance weight range: 142 - 148
    Average weight recorded from 2017 (12months): 163.8


    RECENT weight about 170 during most of 2017
    ACTUAL weight recorded from January 2, 2018 (only weigh-in that month): 168.2
    Average weight recorded from February: 157.5
    Average weight recorded from March: 154.4
    Average weight recorded from April: 153.2
    Average weight recorded from May: 151.6
    Average weight recorded from June: 150.2

    Average weight Week of...
    July 1-7: 148.5
    July 8-14: 145.9
    July 15-21: 146.4
    July 22-28: 146.8
    July 29-Aug 4:

    Success of the week:
    Got back from a river trip where I ate and drank at will; didn't gain more than a couple pounds, and it came back off during the week. Never popped up out of goal range.

    Struggle of the week:
    I had to go back to work after an awesome river trip.

    Success/ struggles of the week/ month (since I'm not posting weekly): I'm very happy with this week as well, it seems that i was finally able to rein in my snacking and eating and get it under control again. My goal is to be able to have my fav snacks but in sensible portion sizes, so it wouldn't put me over my maintenance. The challenge is to stop in time.
