Successes:
FASTEST that I ever got back to large (for me) calorie deficits after a gain. Vastly relieved.
Great exercise, food quality, calorie deficit, weight loss
Struggles:
The exercise takes a lot of time. I’m doing it mainly because I’m on a stellar Apple Watch Challenge team & I don’t want to bring their score down - but - I cant run, so it takes 2.5-3 hrs per day for me. I’ll figure it out, but I don’t want to injure myself by pushing too hard.6 -

Challenges / Successes
Getting close to the top of my maintenance range, has been cold, wet weather, and am back to losing a lot of time each day to driving - so have been less good about exercise, had more stress, and slipping into a few bad habits staying up late (not getting enough sleep). Will have to make a bit more effort this week.

Successes: A lot of walking helped to offset the holiday eating last week so I only gained a little. Going away in the motorhome means I’m still self catering and able to keep an eye on what I’m eating.
Struggles: None really. I’m away again this week, to a hotel for 4 nights. I shall have to exert some will power over my food choices. I hope the swimming pool is open but not sure the Covid rules allow it.

Successes/Struggles: Thanks for all the kind encouragement regarding weighing. I didn't restrict the weighing but didn't weigh everyday which worked out well. I'm hanging in around goal so that's a motivator to keep up the good work and to stay away from chocolate (trigger food for me).2 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: My average weight this week wasn't quite as concerningly high as it was last week, in part due to finally dropping some water weight that I've been carrying around for over a week. I'm hoping that the changes I've made will start to get me back down into my range. I know it'll take a while and I'm fine with that. I bought a lot of fresh fruit for the coming week, so I'm off to a good start with balancing out healthy food with the takeout meals that I have planned.2 -

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

Success: I am really enjoying rowing. I am filled with wonder and joy every time I go out. I typically see bald eagles, deer, egrets, great blue herons and fish jumping from the water during my rows. Making time for it is difficult - rowing times are in the early morning hours and I am not a morning person. But I'm adapting because it's worth it.
Struggles: Had quite a bit of water retention mid week - I think due to some homemade chicken Pho where I may have gone a little overboard on the Fish Sauce. Now that I am no longer on high blood pressure medicine, my body reacts to overly salty food. I need to be mindful of that. But after a couple of days, the water dropped, losing 3 pounds in one day. I was at 170.2 yesterday and today, but the average of the week, was exactly the same as last week.

Struggle: Had teriyaki takeout this week and ate the leftovers the next day. I didn't want to struggle with figuring out the calories to log so didn't log for 2 days. Then I was very busy yesterday and didn't log yesterday. This is a concern because it is a beginning of a lost in focus. I woke up this morning committed to the plan again.
Success: Even though I drifted with logging, I didn't gain.

Successes/ struggles: We were away from Monday to Friday at a holiday resort. Lots of walking and a swim each day helped to keep my “calories out” reasonably high but the food was very high in carbs and low on fruit and veg, I also succumbed to temptation and had a couple of alcoholic drinks. The Covid rules meant that all the food was plated up and served to the table. The resort usually have much of the food buffet style and I would load up with salads, veg and fresh fruit. Unfortunately the portions of veg were very small and there was very little fresh fruit on offer. The desserts were all high carb, high fat options. I feel lucky that I didn’t gain more, even though it was only a few days.
My son and little granddaughter were staying over the weekend, so I’m only just getting back to normal.
However, 2 quiet weeks now before we go away again, so back on the straight and narrow.

Hi Lesley,
First congratulations on your weight loss and maintenance! What an accomplishment!
I am 66, 5'2.5" and currently weigh about 160lbs have lost about 30. Goal is to lose about 40-50 lbs more. Going at a crawl but I know I nibble a bit.
To lose your weight how many calories did you allot per day and how did you set your macros carbs, fat and protein? What about activity? Was it organized exercise? For maintenance what is your calorie and macro allowances?
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Leezy

Total weight lost: 11kg
Time it took to lose: Started April 2020
How long in maintenance: August 2020
Maintenance weight range: 56-57kg

Just starting maintenance and weigh-in day for me is Friday
Week of:

Struggle: Not eating heaps of cakes / lollies. I don't seem to be able to just eat one or two. Partner got rained out at work on Tuesday and brought home a bag of fried donuts, ate one and then kept eating them throughout the day.
Success: I managed to keep at least two dinners this week on the light side which probably helped with the overall maintenance. I think I weighed 2-3 times during the week but without stress which was good.0 -

Success/Struggles: So my weight shot up over my top end of maintenance range after a “binge” last weekend (yikes!), but good news is its all already gone. For all those “scale watchers” and weight fluctuation folks out there, I’ve had an 8 lb swing in my weight this week. And no, I did not eat at a 28,000 calorie deficit this week to compensate! Sodium, carbs, water weight; it all adds up quick and goes away just as quick.
My birthday is at the end of next week so we’ll see how THAT goes!

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

August 23rd: 147.5 (Trend Weight:147.2)
Successes/Struggles: Didn't log this week, but also didn't change how I ate apposed to last week, other than yesterday when we had friends over for a cookout. It was a good tome, don't regret it! Back on the normal today!
We booked a trip at the end of October to Riviera Maya, Mexico, so I have even more motivation to keep everything in check for the next few months!
Hope everyone has a great week.3 -

Success of the week: Realizing that my average mass hasn't varied more than a half pound for the last three weeks.
Struggle of the week: There's just so much produce coming from my garden (and neighbors who I trade with), it's hard to keep up. I love gazpacho, but I need a break.

Successes: Doing well. I am still losing weight, just really slowly. I'm eating a ton, but also getting a lot of exercise. I may have "declared maintenance" a bit early, so I kind of see this as a dry run as I figure out where I really need to be. I lost another 1/2 inch off my waist this week.
Struggles: I normally run on M, W, F and Saturdays. I took a rest day on Wednesday this week. I was just so tired! I need to figure out how to keep up with the running while adding rowing to the routine and still incorporate time for rest. So listening to my body and adjusting. Rowing season will end in November, so I want to get in as much time on the water as I can. But I also don't want to lose ground on running either. Fortunately they are good cross training for each other.4
