    How long in maintenance:3.5 years
    Goal maintenance range: 125-130
    Current weight: 132
    Current goal: 131 (pre vacation weigh 5/8t)
    Recent success: down from 135 (5/16-last week)
    Strategy for your goal: add in some more cardio, better logging, skip the ever present summer desserts and limit to 1-2/wk. limit alcohol to average 1 drink/day (so. Many. Parties).

    Shorts and some dresses are still feeling a little snug, and stomach feeling a little jiggly. Trying to remember when faced with yet more ice cream that I hate this feeling

    Well, first week went well, second was totally off the rails. So much eating and drinking and so little moving (I worked out but was stuck at a desk the rest of the time).

    So scale is moving the wrong way and I triggered the worst gallbladder attack I’ve ever had yesterday (my gallbladder is low functioning, so any big/multi day fatty snack food binge will trigger pain). Spent the afternoon in bed, am now trying to find the lowest fat foods I can for a week or so of gallbladder reset. No fun, since a lot of low fat foods have fake sweeteners, which also trigger gallbladder problems for me. Guess I’ll actually have to plan some real meals for me (last week we hosted a foreign soccer coach and that involved a lot of cooking/prep and parties, but little non-meat healthy stuff for me). Pity party over, I’m at the gym looking forward to my vegan fake burger and salad 😆

    So goal is still get back to 131. Additional goal is get gallbladder under control.

    How long in maintenance: 4.5 years
    Goal maintenance range: 136.5-138.5
    Current weight:141
    Current goal: Continue not eating after dinner, except occasionally.
    Recent success: Weight yo-yos back up to 140/141 when it should be trending 138-139. No successes this week.
    Strategy for your goal: Continue to avoid the above; get back to correct range. Watch carefully what I am eating, i.e., up the fruits and veggies and protein, lower the carbs.
