Just realised while starting this new month that I lost count somewhere along the way, I passed my 1 year anniversary back in April.
Successes: I have lost another kg, right down to my goal weight of 49 kg. I have increased my activity and exercise levels to bring my fitness up to a very good level.
Struggles: Mental struggles with the restrictions. The restrictions are being eased but I am not sure whether I want to go out much. Still can’t visit my children and grandchildren as they live too far away for a quick visit.

I started to gain with the "Stay at Home" way of life and got that under control. That was big for me. I actually had to move into a "lose" mode for a few weeks but I did it. This gives me so much confidence. Saturdays have been a problem for me. I want to eat because I less to do to keep my mind off of food. It's has been raining the last few Saturdays which doesn't help.1 -

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

Total Weight lost: 30 pounds

Success of the week: My scale weight continues to moderate back to where it should be. This week's average is still a half pound above my ideal six-pound maintenance range but remains within my ten-pound absolute maintenance range. Somehow, and I'm not really sure how, I never busted through that ceiling when looking at trends. I had a few individual days the last month or so outside of that range, but never an average or a trend. I laugh because the Trendweight app says I will hit my target in October, but I know better.
Struggle of the week: I seem to have been experiencing more stress about the pandemic this week even as we move away from our stay-home restrictions.2 -

Successes/challenges
Success is I've continued eating as planned and maintained weight. Challenge - last week was first week of successfully getting my daughter back to school - driving her in the mornings - have to get used to this routine again, but last week my exercise all went out the window. This week I have work on reestablishing a daily exercise routine, and make myself go to bed earlier, and get up earlier.3 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week:
Last Wednesday was a struggle. I would grab little snacks like a few chocolate chips from the freezer, a few extra nuts over my allowed amount. Not really bingeing but just extra calories. Then I let myself go over my calories a few other days. That could be why my weight is up a little today. I'll be more careful this week.2 -

Successes: We went out in the motorhome for a picnic last Tuesday, down to a local seaside resort. It was good to get out and walk somewhere different. There were a couple of take-away places open and several ice cream opportunities, but no indoor places were open. Very strange to see people carefully queueing in marked out spaces. The new normal for this year I suppose.
Struggles: our holiday in July is cancelled. It was a coach holiday, but the hotel is not going to be open in time apparently. That’s four holidays cancelled already this year. We were supposed to be on a cruise on the Rhine next week.
Life is tedious. Stay safe.

Success of the week: Yesterday was the first day since April 22 that my trends were all within my ideal six-pound maintenance range. They never went outside of my ten-pound absolute maintenance range even though several daily weights did. The trends/averages got close, but never out. That's a big success. An even better success was when the next day the scale was up, it didn't phase me at all because the trends are still down.
Struggle of the week: I am still concerned about stress eating in part about the pandemic. I still have a few pounds to get my weight stable at the middle or bottom of my ideal goal range, and it does seem to be a struggle sometimes. This is the flip side of my big success this week.
See you next week!

Success is I've continued eating as planned and maintained weight. Last week I did an extended fast (72 hrs), aiming for increased autophagy benefits - hadn't done one this long since early January. Am back in a better routine with getting up earlier, going to bed earlier, daily exercise.
Challenges: I'm in a bad habit losing too much time to facebook! I'm also a bit indecisive about how to optimise what I'm doing. I've shifted my goal weight/range down a little bit (not sure how low to go), unsure about the right balance of different types of exercise (used to do a mix of running, walking, bodyweight HIIT, yoga; now I'm doing qigong every day, run once a week, walk a couple days) for best health and wellbeing, unsure of best fasting protocols for my current goals. Lose time to researching these ideas, but still none the wiser.

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week:
I gained a couple #s after the lockdown. So I lowered my calorie goal and lost them. I have found that I have to stay at the lower calorie goal or gain. I do DVD exercises but I did work harder and longer at the gym. Also less running around at the store and using "pick-ups" plus online shopping adds to needing less calories. At least I have the tools to figure out what to do.3 -

Successes/struggles:
I’ve been below 49 kg for over two weeks now, weight holding steady now. However, I don’t need to be below 48 kg (I went right down to under 47 last autumn when I was worrying about my son and it was too skinny), so I have to change my mindset. I find it difficult to adapt from watching the scale weight dropping to accepting it staying the same. Really maintenance is a juggling act gaining and losing a couple of lbs over and over.
In a normal year I would go on holiday or short breaks, even days out and then spend a week or two losing the small increase. Now, I’m hardly going anywhere, almost all my meals are sensible home-cooked, so losing the weight I gained post-op was quite easy, but I need to stop now.
Well, I know what to do, either eat more or exercise less, I suppose.3 -

Success/Struggles: So I’ve still been struggling with losing some weight slowly, but I think I’ve found a way to mitigate it! I’m still eating at a slight deficit each day, not because I want to, but by the time I’m done eating and adding up my calories I seem to be a bit under my goal and just not hungry. I’m even eating ice cream sandwiches at night to help close the gap! But, now that things are open again, I’ve been going out with the wife once (or twice) a week and enjoying myself. Nachos, beers, drinks, burgers, fries, you name it. Not all day plowing but a nice long afternoon out eating and drinking. This seems to be helping to “balance” out my small daily deficit by eating about 1,000 calories over once a week. And it’s fun! Yay! Benefits of maintenance, right? You can eat more!

Challenges: Finally having enough free time and mental space to check back in here. Dad passed away at the beginning of last week, and while there were some very lovely moments and meetings in the days afterwards, the plague has definitely changed these sorts of life moments. Thank you for your kind words from last month @425Recess and @Rachelmilloy - I appreciate your support. Having more on my plate (literally and figuratively), being on the road several times over the last month, and being out of my usual routine made eating well and exercising more difficult.
Successes: I managed to get out for a run at least six days a week, kept my activity/steps high, and my weight generally in check. Not to say I didn't have times when I ate the wrong quality of stuff in the wrong quantities, but I've been able to limit it to a day or two and balance out the extra calories later.
Hang in there, everyone!4 -
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

Successes/Struggles: Scale is down a bit...I'm feeling fine, my clothes still fit, so I'm giving myself some grace. Crazy to think though that I've gained 4lbs in quarantine. Still a tad under my goal though. Maybe this working at home and rarely going out is bad for my health?
We also recently installed a fence in our backyard. Which is great and our dog loves it, but it's making me lazy...less walking with her means less exercise.
Let's see what this week brings! Hope everyone is hanging in there.

I slept like crap and didn’t feel great this morning so I didn’t weigh in. I weighed in most days this week though so trend alone is fine.
I’m moving towards a more plant based diet, at least to try. Starting with being veggie at home once I’ve gotten through what’s in my fridge. If that works well I might take that to always. Not sure. Trying new sources of protein which is kind of fun!
Runs have been going great! Feeling really strong and seem to be on track to meet 200+ miles

Success of the week: My weight trend has continued to moderate back towards my goal, and it's back to where it was April 14, about a week earlier than it was a week ago. I also had an epiphany I posted about in another discussion that had to do with finding an old document that showed my weight about 30 years ago, and it's right above my current goal and smack in the middle of my maintenance range. This helped me realize I'm still successful even though my mass increased in March and April.
Struggle of the week: Two days with scale weight outside my ideal maintenance range, and a couple other disappointing surprises. Still well within the larger 10-pound range that I'm feeling I should pay more attention to.
