    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...
    October 28 - November 3: 143.8
    November 4 = 10: 145.1
    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.

    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!

    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: Fully expected a gain this week so I'm ok with a stay the same. It was my Birthday Tuesday, we had a big 'show' at work for our contractors, and a pretty heavy lunch out yesterday. Only 6 more days til we are on a plane to Sunny Cancun!

    Struggles: Just changes in schedule. I like my routine! But I'll keep on chugging.

    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

    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!! :blush:<3:smiley: 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! :D:D:D

    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!! <3:smiley::blush:

    I have to inquire, what the heck do you do for a living where you walk 15000 steps?

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: in the city all week, getting lots of extra steps in, just moving from point a to point b. Upped my calories a bit this week, holding pretty steady as I enter two weeks of holiday celebrations and I suspect plenty of “extras”. Preparing for a holiday bump in my weight, trying to be comfortable with it, knowing it’s just how life works :)
