    Name: bettina
    How long in maintenance: 8 months or so
    Goal maintenance range: 128-132
    Current weight: 133
    Current goal: 130
    Recent success: seeing 132 and 133 on the scale this week has been encouraging. My skinny jeans still fit too tight though 😬 hopefully at 130 they will fit right again. Didnt gain on vacation which was great!
    Strategy for your goal: sticking to 1800 calories and increasing my protein.

    Maintenance weight range: 142 - 148 (and not sure that's the right answer)

    Average weight Week of...
    July 29 - August 4: 144.6
    August 5 - 11: 144.2 (only average of August 10 & 11 as I was away on a dive trip and nowhere near a scale most of the week)
    August 12 - 18: 145.6
    August 19 - 25: 147.6
    August 26 - September 1: 145.3

    Success of the week: I never went out of my maintenance range. My weight has been coming back down. Today I hit my goal weight again, but I think I'm dehydrated.

    Struggle of the week: The struggle starts today. I'm going to a big party that's held twice every five years. I'm going to eat and drink. Lots. And then some. Join me!

    Is there a September thread?

    I was briefly posting on this August one.

    An update for me, after 5 weeks of a lot of scale movement upwards rather than downwards (was trending at 132 for most of August and early Sept) I'm now back at the high end of my maintenance weight 130. Am aiming to get to 125-126 in the coming months.

    It can be disheartening at times but stick with it, keep consistently at deficit and it will pay off.
