Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: successes - Being okay with being away and having to be a little less accurate in my diary whilst still enjoying myself was quite hard. Also I have started training for a half marathon and quickly come to the realisation that being at goal weight does not equal fit!7 -

Successes/struggles of the week: I officially started the arduous process of buying a new house! Applied for the mortgage yesterday, put down the good faith deposit, have the home inspection today... I wasn’t expecting to find the perfect house on the first outing with the realtor, so this is a lot of craziness in complement to the new job and my first semester of law school (starts Thursday).
I know how I react in high stress long term - I end up using food as an aspect of my life that I can control (now that I have tools to do that). So, I venture to guess you won’t see me stray out of my range once the stress kicks into high gear around mid-October.
Otherwise, surprised my average is down this week as my husband and I went to an all you can eat buffet 2x. Guess I’m getting better at enjoying the company more than the food.
Have a great week everyone!5 -
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 recorded from July: 146.8
Average weight Week of...
July 29-August 4: 146.8
August 5-11: 145.1.
August 12-18: 147.2
August 19-25: 149.0 -- I am now two pounds over maintenance range, so I have reset my goal back to losing 0.5 pounds a week until I'm back in or below the middle of my goal range. Way bummed.
August 26-Sep 1:
Success of the week:
Didn't ever get over 150.6. When I started my journey, my initial ending goal was about 150 pounds. I revised it down, so I think I need to see 150 as a success even though it's outside of my current maintenance range.
Struggle of the week:
I'm clearly outside my maintenance range this week, and I need to tighten up to keep from regaining any more.

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: My trend was down all week ranging from 125.6 to 126.2 and today my official weigh in day I was up the same as last week. If I didn't keep track of my weight daily I would have been discouraged although I am not happy that I weigh more at the end of the month then what I was at the beginning so will be extra careful in the upcoming weeks. I will be headed back to school on Monday which will help keep me away from food although will need to change up my exercise routine no more early morning walks.4 -

Name: missperfectpitch
Height: 5'4"
Total weight lost: About 43 pounds
Time it took to lose: 1 year and 2 months
How long in maintenance: I hit my goal weight in the beginning of January, officially started maintenance in mid-March 2018
Maintenance weight range: 108-111.5
Average weight recorded from January: 110.6
Average weight recorded from February: 109.5
Average weight recorded from March: 109.0
Average weight recorded from April: 109.1
Average weight recorded from May: 109.3
Average weight recorded from June: 109.7
Average weight recorded from July: 110.1
Week of...
August 5: 110.6 (trendweight 110.4)
August 12: 110.1 (trend 110.2)
August 19: 109.5 (trend 109.9)
August 26: 108.7 (trend 109.3)
Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I had one very low weigh-in day, but I think it might have been because I spent the whole day prior out in the sun and might have been a bit dehydrated. I banked a lot of calories for Friday and Saturday, when I ate out a lot, including several desserts. I managed okay, but it's interesting how eating the number of calories I was averaging while losing weight for a couple of days this week to compensate for this weekend's very high calories now feels like "too little" during maintenance, even though I ate fewer calories while losing weight and didn't usually feel like it was a deprivation.3 -
