Successes: Well, the turkey was amazing! Even if my roaster had some issues and never got beyond 250 degrees F. So, we ended up eating at about 9pm...good thing I didn't have a hungry house of people!
This month will be weird with weigh ins...Leaving for Mexico on the 14th, so I'll need to do my 15th weigh in early. And my 22nd will be after a week of indulgence. But putting that date to weigh as soon as we return will keep me accountable.
Struggles: Wasn't expecting the massive 2.2 lb drop this week.

Successes: I kept weighing in through the holidays. I knew I was going to eat whatever I wanted in whatever amount, and I knew the scale would reflect it. Most of the weight gain is food, and not important.
Struggles: I didnt log most of my food. This in itself is not a struggle necessarily. I am struggling a bit to get back into the swing of things. Over the next few days I'll get back into my routine. Holiday fun and new work schedule made it impossible to get all my runs in. We'll move forward in that arena too. 1 month from marathon sunday!6 -

HEAVIEST weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
Total Weight lost: 30 pounds
Time it took to lose: ~6 months
How long in maintenance: Since July 2018 -- but with some fluctuation outside of goal range.
Maintenance weight range: 142 - 148 (and not sure that's the right answer)
Average weight recorded from 2017 (12 months): 163.8
Average weight recorded from 2018 (12 months): 150.7

November 11 - 17: 144.7
November 18 - 24: 144.6
November 25 - December 1: 144.9
Success of the week: My November weight trend has been amazingly consistent even though it's up a pound from November 1. October wasn't a good month, so at least November didn't bring another BIG gain; just a small one. I'm still in the middle of my range, but I've had some crazy days when the scale was way up (or down). I need to remind myself that despite this small gain, I am actually maintaining pretty well. Not ideal, but pretty good.
Struggle of the week: I ended November on a high weight. Oh well. My trending weight was actually pretty flat all month, but it's higher in my range than I want. But still in range.

Name: Lisa
Age: 56
Height: 5.7 1/2
Total weight lost: 18 (mfp says 23 because it's looking at my weight in Jan as starting point)
Time it took to lose: 115 days
How long in maintenance: n/a
Maintenance weight range: current goal is 220 lbs. plan to 'rest' there a month and then aim for 200 lbs. I'm setting achievable stepwise goals like this so I can declare intermediate successes instead of obsessing on my end goal as the only way to 'win'. My end goal is 22% fat or less (but >17% as I'm female), whatever weight that turns out to be--it's hard to project the goal weight when I'm still so far from it. At present I'm guessing it to be somewhere around 150 lbs. My best weight when I was doing sprint triathlons in college was 135 lbs. So it's hard to say at this age, with less muscle mass, what my weight should be because even when young and at appropriate body composition I ran on the heavy side for a woman.
Average weights here are estimated by eyeballing charted data provided by withings/nokia scale records
Average weight recorded from 2018: 254 lbs
Average weight recorded from January: 258 lbs
(begin casual, unlogged avoidance of obvious dietary stupidity like high-calorie desserts)
Average weight recorded from February:
Average weight recorded from March:
Average weight recorded from April: 254 lbs (delta = 4 lbs)
Average weight recorded from May:
Average weight recorded for June:
Average weight recorded for July: 254 lbs (delta = 0 lbs)
Average weight recorded for August 250 lbs (start of mfp logging was Aug 8)
Average weight recorded for September 243 lbs (delta =7)
Average weight recorded for Oct 238 lbs (delta = 5)
Average weight recorded for Nov 236 lbs (delta = 2)
Loss rate was reduced in Oct/Nov due to exceeding calorie targets from birthdays and other family festivities, not a 'plateau', which I define as the frustrating situation of doing everything right and not getting results. In this case the reason for the slower loss rate is perfectly logical--voluntary over-eating.

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week:
last week--thanksgiving food and leftovers to consume. This is both a success (enjoyed a big feast) and a struggle in that it puts a small but expected uptick in weight.
long-term--chronic orthopedic issues that limit ability to exercise.5 -

Average weight recorded for November: 161.1
Week of...
December 1st: 164.1 (trend 162.3)
Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: It wasn't Thanksgiving that accounted for the bump (there wasn't enough time at work to sit down for more than a few minutes), but the day afterward - leftover pumpkin pie is kryptonite. Still, I fully expect the bump to be gone in a day or two. Exercise is going reasonably well. I also just realized that I declared maintenance a year ago, though I hit GW a few months prior to that. One down, forevermore to go.
@lesdarts180 I'm so glad to hear that things are looking a bit up. I hope that the holidays bring more comfort and joy to you.
Have a great week, everyone!2 -

Successes/struggles: I’m still struggling to keep my weight above 48 kg.
We've had another rollercoaster week. On Monday my son finally had an appointment with the neurology team to discuss his diagnosis and it was fairly hopeful. Apparently the tumour is low level, not aggressive, so that's good, but it is very complex and spread through several parts of his brain. He was referred to a hospital closer to where they live and an appointment was set up for Friday morning to discuss treatment options. However, on Wednesday he developed a very severe headache, went to A&E at Cheltenham hospital, where they discovered very high inter-cranial pressure, was whisked off for live-saving intervention, stabilised and sent to Bristol ICU in the middle of the night. By Thursday evening he was back in the neurology ward and on Friday evening he was home again. I've been up and down the motorway, looking after the children on Wednesday evening, hospital visiting etc. We're all exhausted again, just when we thought the news was relatively hopeful.
I’m home now and hope to have a few days peace and quiet, to recharge.
Thankyou @reversemigration for your kind thoughts.

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I managed to maintain my weight through November and the Thanksgiving holiday so I guess that is a success. No real struggles. My exercise and my eating are both at levels that I feel comfortable with. If I ever have to decrease my activity I know I will have to eat less, but for now I am able to eat a lot and so I feel good about where my weight is.5 -
Prayers@lesdarts180 I’m sorry your family had such a hard week. It sounds like he is getting really good care. I hope you all have a better week and you can get some rest.1

1/1/2020 GOAL: 155
Successes of the week: I kept exercising even while traveling (long drives) & visiting with relatives, many social events, no routine except my regular breakfast & my walking/steps.
Struggles: Eating socially & eating out. Family members can eat more than me, so they wanted a full meal while I’m more in large snack mode for lunch & dinner.
Scale is up, but this was a planned experiment. I lost wt before the trip & planned to lose whatever I needed to in December. I was optimistic that I could do this given my successes in November. Takes me a few days to get back in the groove & then its pretty easy. I’m close to being fully back on track eating wise...😁
Goal: 155 or lower on New Year’s 2020.9 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Down two pounds from the prior week or post Thanksgiving. Still higher then my stated range. I am eating at a bit of a deficit to trying and get back down under 155, it may take awhile midnight snacks are the devil.
I also think I have a little inflammation with some bicep tendonitis from over training most likely. I am doing some very specific stretching to help the bicep and thankfully it seems to be improving, I am also not doing overhead press on machine or dumbbells for a while.
Hope everyone has a great week working toward their goals.

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: My weight is in a good place in the middle of my range now, despite having a planned surplus week this past week where I ate lots of good food. However, I'm definitely coming down with a cold or something, so next week will be a struggle to get the bare minimum steps in. I'll also have an added challenge of a mandatory work holiday party and a couple of meals out, all while trying to recover.

Successes: 1:42:20 Half marathon yesterday for a brand new PR of over 40 minutes!
Struggles: I still look to food as a reward system, and I'd like to not. I just ran this race so of course I need 2x the amount of food I actually need, or a bunch of food I dont actually need ever. I'm hanging out at the upper end of my self imposed maintenance range, and I'd like to see if I can bring it down to hanging out around my lower end to see how I feel, and how I perform

HEAVIEST weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
Total Weight lost: 30 pounds
Time it took to lose: ~6 months
How long in maintenance: Since July 2018 -- but with some fluctuation outside of goal range.
Maintenance weight range: 142 - 148 (and not sure that's the right answer)
Average weight recorded from 2017 (12 months): 163.8
Average weight recorded from 2018 (12 months): 150.7
Average weight recorded from January: 148.4
Average weight recorded from February: 146.3
Average weight recorded from March: 143.2
Average weight recorded from April: 143.0
Average weight recorded from May: 144.1
Average weight recorded from June: 145.6
Average weight recorded from July: 146.5
Average weight recorded from August: 145.8
Average weight recorded from September: 143.2
Average weight recorded from October: 142.3
Average weight recorded from November: 144.4
Average weight Week of...
November 24 - 30: 144.7
December 1 - 8: 144.7
I moved my weigh-in day from Monday to Sunday this month strictly for convenience. The November 25 - December 1 weight I reported for the end of November was 144.9
Success of the week: My November weight trend was consistent even though it was higher than I want. This week's number is actually down from my last report for November because of the date switch, but with the date change it's exactly the same. That's maintenance, right? I'm in the middle of my range, so the answer should be YES.
Struggle of the week: I ended November on a high weight. Oh well. It's still there. Yes, it's the middle of my range, but my range is skewed with not much room below my goal weight and a lot of wiggle room above it. I need to remind myself that despite being over goal, I am actually maintaining. Not ideal, but maybe I need to view this as acceptable or else move my range so my goal is in the middle and get back focused on bringing the number back down.

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Thanksgiving was amazing!!
No family drama, thank goodness & everything went super smoothly! The food was absolutely delicious! I definitely didn't over eat, though (I just ate until I was satisfied)! I eat around 2500-2700 calories a day to maintain (if I eat less than that, I lose weight) & I'm certain that I didn't exceed that even though I didn't log my food. I weighed myself the next day & found that I had maintained on the dot!! Even though I know my calories, I have to admit, I was pretty surprised! 
Despite the holidays, I got 6 out of 7 days of exercise in (my goal)! I'm feeling really good about my body, how toned it's getting, & my weight range!
Wishing everyone a wonderful week!!
I have to inquire, what the heck do you do for a living where you walk 15000 steps?1 -

Successes/struggles: My weight shot up by 0.7 kg (1.54 lb) overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday and has stayed there. However, in spite of the fact that I did eat out on Tuesday evening I don’t think that is the issue. We all know that that kind of scale fluctuation is probably not fat gain. I woke up with a cold on Wednesday and it has worsened over the last few days so I expect this is fluid retention. I would be happy to be 49 kg but I expect that in fact my “real” weight is around 48.5 kg and this water weight will reduce over the next few days.
On a more positive note, my son started chemotherapy on Friday and so far so good.🤞🤞

Upped my calories a bit this week, holding pretty steady as I enter two weeks of holiday celebrations and I suspect plenty of “extras”.
