    January 4, 2019: Ten-day average 160.3

    October 4: Ten-day average 157
    November 4: Ten-day average 155.8
    December 4: Ten-day average 157.2
    January 11: Ten-day average 161.1

    Data from trend weights in Happy Scale.

    I’m happy because actual weight is the same today 159.8 as a week ago after a fast, steep climb to 163.

    I like this format.

    I also like monthly averages!

    I like your new format, too. Much easier for me to understand what the data are saying. Monthly averages? Yeah!

    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 recorded from December: 145.0

    Looking back to before I hit my maintenance range, ANNUAL averages don't say quite as much, but there's still a story.

    Average weight recorded from 2017 (12 months): 163.8
    Average weight recorded from 2018 (12 months): 150.7
    Average weight recorded from 2019 (12 months): 144.8

    Finally! After a slow, steady increase the last quarter of 2019, I'm heading back towards goal, and I'm almost there. By scale, I've lost 3.2 pounds in January, and by my ten day average almost a pound. Yay! My average weight is lower than one, two, and 12 months ago. My average weight three months ago was in a short period that it was at my lowest EVER. I may or may not get back there as it was actually below my goal range, but it felt good to be so successful. I look forward to reporting next week that I am below all three of these measures. Feels good to be back!

    Congratulations @mtaratoot
    You have worked hard for
    this!!

    Thanks @MadisonMolly2017. And as you are well aware, we both will have to CONTINUE to work hard to maintain where we've come. My fourth quarter 2019 is evidence of this. I am looking forward to see what 2020 brings. I am optimistic I can make those fluctuations a little smaller, and I am REALLY hoping I can avoid the fourth quarter gain that I've experienced in 2018 and 2019. If I do have a gain, I am hoping it's smaller than 2019 which was smaller than 2018.

    Maybe some day in a few years I will be able to say, "I think I've got this licked." Of course once I lick it, I will think it tastes awesome and then eat it.😒

    Haha! Thanks for the chuckle!
    Yes well since my blood pressure went from
    Low-normal to hypertension I the one time I “let loose”, I won’t be doing that again.
    Hoping bp will get back to low-normal.

    Glad we are on this journey together & can help one another.

    It doesn’t show the whole picture yet.. trends take awhile...but wt today was 158.6!

    BP is normal again, food under control, wt coming off. Found “Protein Pacing” & it’s making everything easy. #Grateful for my journey. #NeverGiveUp #InSkinnyJeansAgain:)

    I am in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds. I've been gaining slowly from October 1. I update once per week and report my ten-day average weight.

    January 18, 2019: Ten-day average 149.2

    October 18: Ten-day average 142.4
    November 18: Ten-day average 144.8
    December 18: Ten-day average 144.8
    January 18: Ten-day average 143.5


    I am continuing to recover from my slow steady gains the last quarter of 2019. I am essentially back to my goal weight. There is one anomaly; I had a gut bug, so my one-day scale weight today is lower than it should be at 139.8. It should recover in a day or two, but I'm optimistic I will keep my average where it is or just a little below. I played around with the idea of taking my goal weight down a little more, but I'm not willing to cut calories to maintenance at the lower weight, so 143 it is. If I get below by some odd luck, that's fine. My oringial goal when I started MFP was three pounds heavier, so I've already surpassed that, and I'm good with it.

    As far as relating to past months: My average weight is lower than one, two, and 12 months ago. My average weight three months ago was in a short period that it was at my lowest EVER. I may or may not get back there as it was actually below my goal range, but it felt good to be so successful. I look forward to reporting next week that I am below all three of these measures. Then, in a couple months, I expect I will no longer be weighing in less than ANY of these because I'll be stable at maintenance. Wish me luck.

    I am in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds. I've been gaining slowly from October 1. I update once per week and report my ten-day average weight.

    January 25, 2019: Ten-day average 148.4

    October 25: Ten-day average 143.1
    November 25: Ten-day average 143.8
    December 25: Ten-day average 145.1
    January 25: Ten-day average 142.7

    Success!

    I got back to, and actually below my goal weight. I had a relapse overnight, and while the scale is up three pounds from yesterday, my ten-day average is unchanged for the last three days, and has been within 0.1 pounds for the entire week. Yay! Now I just have to keep it here.

    @mtaratoot
    Thanks!! And congratulations on getting to a good place!

    I’m making steady progress, great sustained energy, never hungry, and not eating out :)

    I’m getting very excited about my One Year Maintenance Anniversary on 4-25-20.

    It’s definitely getting easier :)

    Again, so glad we are on this journey together!

    Why am I doing this?
    Because it keeps me aware that my goal is 157-153.
    Because I gained & now lost some, I can begin to think my weight is good.... It is better, but still in the 🟥🟥’s Ie not in maintenance range.

    Can I say that your Thursday is inspiring? You were concerned about the lunch with friend, and you ended up lower. That IS success. I love cornbread, but I don't typically like what they serve at restaurants. More like cake. I can eat the heck out of my savory cornbread....

    I am in maintenance with a goal weight of 143 pounds and an allowable goal range of 140-150 pounds. I've been gaining slowly from October 1. I update once per week and report my ten-day average weight.

    February 1, 2019: Ten-day average 146.6

    October 1: Ten-day average 141.4
    November 1: Ten-day average 143.8
    December 1: Ten-day average 144.6
    January 1: Ten-day average 145.4
    February 1: Ten-day average 144.5

    I struggled this week, but ended it lower than a month ago by a pound and lower than two months ago by an insignificant amount. Heavier than three months ago (and four if you're checking), and definitely better than a year ago.
