    Didn't get a chance to post yesterday. I'm really hoping that this is water retention from starting a lifting routine and adding an extra three classes plus not sleeping well. Now that I type that it, it seems really obvious that my body is overloaded. It didn't feel like that much during the week but based on the weigh in and how late I slept yesterday and today, that was a lot of additions!

    Weight lost this week: Actually it was just one day, but the scale moved almost a half pound in the right direction (and two tenths considering my 10-day average). That's great. Even better, today's weight was down to 145.6 (ten day average 146.4).

    While that's all true, my scale weight is still 0.6 pounds up from seven days ago. Perhaps the better news is that my ten-day average weight is down 1.5 pounds from seven days ago and it's down 4.3 pounds from a month ago. I am now almost comfortable saying I'm back in maintenance. My average weight has been below the top of my six pound range for a week. Not much, but I am going to focus on keeping it there. If my maintenance range is set a little too low, which I think it might be, and if I was to stick with the original goal I laid out a year ago, I've been in maintenance over a month.


    February Goal: Lose 1.8 pounds from ten-day average to weigh below 145
    February Actual: I'll tell ya later
    Challenge Weight loss goal: Eight pounds
    Actual Weight loss for the challenge: 5.0 pounds based on scale; 5.2 pounds based on 10-day average

    Weight lost this week: Just going by the scale, I lost 1.8 pounds this week! But I don't buy it because my ten day average weight is up almost a half pound. I had a big bounce this week up to 150 on Saturday (5.4 pounds in two days) which is up out of my maintenance range. It's slowly come back down since then.

    February Goal: Lose 1.8 pounds from ten-day average to weigh below 145
    February Actual: So far... it's mixed. Scale weight is on target, but ten day average is affected by a spike.
    Challenge Weight loss goal: Eight pounds between December 21 and March 21
    Actual Weight loss for the challenge: 6.8 pounds based on scale; 4.8 pounds based on 10-day average
