Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: With the small increase in my daily step goal, my weekly total this week was closer to where I normally am. I might need to bump it up again (I only increased it to 500 steps/day more), but I'm going to see how my weekly total is for the next couple of weeks first.2 -

April 26: 114.8 scale/ 114.1 trend
Success/Struggles: My weight is still up this week and even the trend is up. But I know it is from the birthday last weekend. Cake is definitely something I only need individual portions of in the house. I probably ate about 3/4ths of the birthday cake from last weekend myself, maybe more. I just have to remind myself that even if my weight is up I am still a bit under my maintenance range and going up a pound or two is not a bad thing.4 -

Age: 51
Height: 6'
Total weight lost: ~65 lbs
Time it took to lose: 8 months

April 19th: 159.4 (trend 160.6)
April 27th: 156.2 (trend 159.9)
Successes/Challenges: Missing lunch at work a couple of days in a row made a dip in my weight today, though I should bump back up in short order. A lot of stressors in life right now, but I've for the most part resisted snacking. Fitting in daily exercise and averaging a bit over 20K steps, which at times seems excessive but probably is a somewhat healthy way of dealing with things.
Hang in there, everyone!2 -

Successes/struggles: On a positive note, my weight is stable, and my fitness improves daily. I’m averaging over 14,000 steps a day plus a bike ride of between 30 and 60 minutes every day.
But I’m getting very fed up with the lockdown. As an older person (nearly 70) and retired – therefore no work to go to – I can see I’m going to be largely housebound for months.
Stay safe everyone, see you next month.

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week:
I said last week that if I gained more, I would get serious about losing. I am now serious. I lowered my calorie goal by 210. That is only 1470 a week and it takes about 3500 to lose 1# so lowering the calories to that much might just get me back to maintaining. We'll see. If I gain more next, I'll make a change. If not, I stay with this for awhile.4 -

Success/struggles of the week
Success: Approaching my two year anniversary on Maintenance in May! WoW! My reaction to quarantine is to Not Gain! Working but no fun.
Struggle: Limited activity without my former life with aqua aerobics. Diagnosis with Drop Foot affected my walking with a brace and numbness.5 -
Hi! My name is Kristen. And I struggle to maintain my weight. I have had great success losing/gaining, but I'm hoping this group helps me be more accountable. I weigh only 1x week on Sundays, so that's when I'll check in. My 2 goals in 2020 are to not let the scale go above 153 and weigh in EVERY Sunday for the WHOLE YEAR. This seems easy to most, but I get lazy and make excuses why I don't need to weigh in and then all of a sudden everything in my closet has shrunk. LOL

Week of...
May 3: 145.5 (Trend Weight 144.8)
Successes/Struggles: There is no May Check in yet, so I'll put this here. I seem to be in a up 2, down 2 pattern each week now, which is fine since I'm still under my low range weight and, well quarantine. We've had some really crappy weather this week, other than yesterday where we got lots of landscaping done. Took 2 walks too...I'm feeling it today! I think some of the scale is water retention.
Let's see what this week brings! Hope everyone is hanging in there.1
