    Original starting weight (March 2013) - 175.4
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    August 30, 2019 starting weight - 146.0 (ten-day rolling average 146.7)
    Ultimate goal - Maintain around 143 (range between 140 - 150)

    I had achieved my goal last Winter and gone into maintenance. I have mostly stayed within my goal range, but have bounced around a bit. Now as the seasons change again, a new maintenance challenge awaits. I'm sticking to it!

    September 1: 143.0 (10-day average 145.8) This is the meteorological beginning of fall.
    September 2: 148.2 (10-day average 146.0) Look how the scale went up so much but the average just a little.
    September 9: 147.2 (10-day average 145.2)
    September 16: 144.0 (10-day average 144.4)
    September 23: 141.8 (10-day average 142.7) Equinox - astronomical start of fall. I am now at my goal weight.
    September 30: 139.4 (10-day average 141.4)

    Weight lost this week: The scale says another 2.4 pounds in a week. That's three weeks in a row at least that much.. That's hard to believe! My ten-day average indicates 1.3 pounds; another big loss. Time to start eating more calories!

    September Goal: 143
    September Actual: I passed my goal and kept losing. Not a real problem yet, and I'm happy with it.

    Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
    Actual Weight loss for the challenge: I'm below that by scale, and ten-day average is near the bottom of the range, so that's nice.

    August wasn't a great month for me. September was my catch up. Now if I can hold steady, I'll be chuffed.

    I think Fitbit really overestimates calories burned.

    You wouldn't be the first to notice this. I am pretty sure my Garmin does for SOME activities, like SCUBA. Others it seems pretty close -- like walking.

    There's an ongoing discussion on the "Lose a Pound a Week" group that uses collected data from a device or whatever and helps calculate a calorie "adjustment" that you can add to your diary (up or down depending what the numbers say) to get closer to your daily goal. I think just recognizing it's happening will help; you can do it in your head and mentally keep your target lower than MFP wants.

    Oh, yeah... you ARE making progress towards you goal, so celebrate that even if it was a less-than-stellar week.
