Hi everyone,
I'm late to the game, but would like to join in!
I'm at my final stretch, so I need some extra motivation to reach my final goal.

1) I need to taper to maintenance and do not know where my "final" weight will settle.
2) I met my Easter challenge goal of 165 lbs early, went on two weeks of maintenance, and gained a pound. Ugh. (In my defense I had to attend THREE seders AND a big Easter dinner. That was a very ham-and-wine-intensive weekend.)
3) I will be traveling for three weeks in May so, realistically, may not be able to manage my weight as well as I have at home...but I will sure try.
For these reasons, I want to participate but without a set number of pounds for the final weight. My goal will be to lose between 0 and 3/4s of a pound per week.

On vacation since May 8 and just now found a scale...
04/29: 166.0
05/08: 166.2 <--Start of vacation
05/19: 165.5
04/29: 166.0
05/08: 166.2 <--Start of vacation
05/19: 165.5
05/29: 167.2 <--End of vacation
Three weeks in southern Spain and (mostly) without a scale took its toll on me. But I regret not one minute of it. :-)

I’m not weighing myself this week since I just got back from Vegas. I didn’t really go overboard while I was there, but I did eat out a few times so I’m sure my weight didn’t go down. I had a blast though!2 -

May 10: 161.8 - not a huge loss, but glad I was able to lose at all. I had a pretty full weekend of calories and it took some extra time to get that weight back down.
May 17: 161.4 - not much loss again, but I've been sick this whole week. Slept most of the time so wasn't as active as normal. Hoping to start next week off healthy.
May 24: 160.8 - slowly but surely... Almost to the 150s!!! That's my goal for next week 😁
May 31: 161.0 - Ok, I can explain. I started TOM this week and Memorial Day Weekend was full of giving in to cravings. I gained about 4 lbs worth of water weight but it reduced quickly. This week WILL be better!

May 10: - 9st 5lbs (131lbs) (-1lb, -4lbs) Lost weight but I have gone really off track with eating. I am either crash dieting or eating far too much. I have changed my goal to one of eating consistently and well.
May 17:- 9st 4lbs (130lbs) (-1lb, -5lbs) Maintenance weight. Now to eat well to stall well.
May 24:- 9st 6lbs (132lbs) (+2lbs -3lbs)
May 31:- 9st 5lbs (131lbs) (-1lbs -4lbs) I'm trying really hard not to become hung up on small weight changes of a couple of pounds. As soon as I see the scales move up I panic. I need to be calm and see the bigger picture.

I’m suspecting this weight is mostly water weight after a day of airline flights and a late salty dinner. I ate at maintenance over my vacation, which was a nice diet break for me. My bigger concern is seeing if I backslid after a week off from running—I’m hoping that I can slog through C25K week 6 without having to go repeat any previous runs.1 -

I have never experienced such a large whoosh before. And given that I have been tracking just like I did when I lost 35 lbs previously, I should not have lost more than about a pound. So I have to think this is almost all water weight.
I had been eating at maintenance for about 6 weeks prior to 05/29, so now that I am restricting calories again my glycogen may be depleting (though I do not do low carb at all.) Also for about 36 hours of the 48 hours right before I weighed myself last week I was traveling continuously, not sleeping, and eating a lot of salty food... so maybe my water weight was high because of salt/cortisol on 05/29.
Anyway, I don't expect this will happen again.0
