Success/struggles of the week: Happy to be in the lower end of my maintenance range. Wanting to drop a few more pounds if I can and so far I am heading in the right direction. Did a glorious hike this week (up to the Continental Divide and a mostly frozen lake). Enjoyed feeling strong and healthy.

Weekly successes and struggles:I'm ahead of my calorie goal. I was eating around 2300-2400 this last week. Had a big flux up today because I covered a first shift on my day off (I'm third shift) and I'm not as "regular" at the moment. Back to normal schedule this week so hopefully things get a bit more regular in that department.5 -

Back to normal schedule this week so hopefully things get a bit more regular in that department.
Took a day, but after a 3 lb up flux, I had the opposite 3lb down tick. Trying to get to 2500 calories as my trend is still going down, but I'm struggling a bit. I want to continue eating mostly my own food because eating out and from the employee grill constantly is what got me to my biggest weights. Getting another 500 on top of that seems like so much but I know it's just getting used to it.1 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I had a very good meal planning week, stuck to my plan.. but I had a lot of unnecessary nighttime snacking.. so that needs to get under control! Was a little bummed to see the 1lb jump this morning from yesterday's weigh-in, but I know I was within goal yesterday, so probably just some water I’m holding on to. I have 1 more week until my husband gets back from his 10-week training program, so one last week to really stick to my plan. Things always get a little off track when he’s around!

I’m weighing in a couple of days early as I’m away in the motorhome for a few days now.
Success(es)/struggles of the week: My weight has been below 48 kg all week, but I hope I have caught the downward trend. On Wednesday morning the scale was at 47.3 so I decided to have a rest day – no gym, no cardio workouts, I didn’t even do my abs and planks. However, I spent a good 3 hours in the garden – fighting with the ivy and brambles that are taking over the fences and hedges. Stretching up, bending low, pulling, raking, using a selection of hand and powered tools and taking heavy bags of stuff to the tip! So not much of rest really!
Well, I’ll be eating more while I’m away, so perhaps next week I’ll be back over 48 kg.

Have clocked up over 28 miles running this week (and no falls!) and some yoga and circuit classes so pretty happy with that.
Have a good week all x6 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I'm catching up on two weeks as I was on vacation last weekend. My weight jumped up over the high end of my maintenance range again, but I've been eating at a surplus (planned) for the past several weeks, in addition to eating out a lot while on vacation, air travel, TOM weight, etc., so it's not unexpected. Still a bit hard to see on the scale though. This upcoming week will be a planned deficit week, as I'm not eating out at all. It's also the first week in several months that I'm not eating out at all (crazy!) so I can create a pretty large deficit if I want to help with getting my weight back down.5 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I've just returned from a couple of weeks on vacation, in which I didn't have scales of any sort, logged everything (albeit SWAGish), and had the goal of gaining a couple of pounds to get closer to the bottom of my range. I figured that being a bit more sedentary coupled with lots of opportunities to eat good food would make this easy. Sooo, I stepped on the scale this morning with bated breath and found that I am...down half a pound since my last weigh-in. This, coupled with the fact that I didn't do any resistance training while away, is sure to be reflected in my next lifting session. My goal for the next few weeks will be to up calories a bit, keep protein intake where it ought to be (which was definitely less than it should have been while traveling), and make some muscle.
Have a great week everyone!2 -

Weekly successes and struggles: I've been sticking to around 2500 daily calories and my 7 day average maintained the same. I think I'll stay at this caloric level for another week and continue to monitor. Just based on math I expect my 7 day will drop a bit. This is the first time I'm comparing averages. I'll keep trying to look at that to not let daily fluctuations drive my decisions.
