    I don't think today's weight is real. I donated blood yestetday.

    I post my average weight for the week, but I have a spreadsheet to calculate it. Just using a one-day weight would show my crazy up-and-down variations, and they aren't "REAL" either.

    How long in maintenance: I hit my goal weight in the beginning of January 2018, but officially started maintenance in mid-March 2018 after figuring out my calories for a couple of months.
    Maintenance weight range: 108-111.5

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: My weight was up by a lot this week due to a combination of factors, including being sick, TOM, two holiday parties, and eating out two other times. I still managed to get in workouts on 6 days (although I did take it easy for the first half of the week since I wasn't feeling great) and I kept up with my steps.

    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
    December 9 - 15: 144.6

    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: I may have stopped the slow creep up that started at the end of September. My one-day scale weight got back to goal today, and that only happened one other day since the last week in October. It looks like my weight trend is finally coming back down, too. There's a possibility I could get my weight trend down to goal before the end of the year. I had a bump in October through November last year, and it was even higher than now, so I should be pleased. I will be more pleased when the trend comes back down.

    Struggle of the week: It's mid December, which is always a struggle for me. The earliest sunsets of the year in the northern hemisphere were last week - 16:33 where I live. This week we start the shortest daylight at eight hours 49 minutes. The sun will continue to rise later until early January. On the mass thing... I still have a couple pounds on my trend to get where I think I should be, but if I keep the scale where it is, that should happen next week.

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: It's been a busy couple of weeks - so busy I forgot to check in last week. Still battling to even out calorie intake and avoid the huge swings between days that have characterized the last few weeks. I've been having a lot more cravings than usual and temptation is all too close at hand. All in all, though, I'm happy with where things stand, particularly given life challenges lately. Have a great week, everyone.

    Colonoscopy, ok but it’s out to pathology, stressful
    More use of food as comfort, but had a good past 4-5 days. Don’t want to gain my weight back.


    Scale is up, but this was a planned experiment. I lost wt before the Thanksgiving trip & planned to lose whatever I needed to in December. I was optimistic that I could do this given my successes in November. What I didn’t account for was suddenly I’ll cat who needed surgery & several other things that all hit at once.

    Things have settled down. She’s doing GREAT!
    Working to lose weight these final days of 2019!

    Goal: 155 or lower on New Year’s 2020.

    Regardless, I’ve kept my average weights between 152 and 157 from Nov 2018 thru Nov 2019
    That’s the longest I’ve ever maintained ever! I’m really working to keep this perspective❣️

    December 16 - 22: 145.1


    Success of the week: Sticking pretty much dead in the middle of my maintenance range. Surviving the darkest day of the year. Today we have a whole extra SECOND of daylight where I live; we had 14 seconds less yesterday than the day before, and I'm glad the daylight is returning.

    Struggle of the week: My maintenance range is pretty big, so mid way through it is heavier than my goal. I would like to get to a slightly smaller maintenance range that's about two pounds lower than where I'm maintaining right now. I will get there, but it is a bit of a struggle.
