Still losing, now with just over 1.5 kg to go, and in my maintenance range since late October. Since I have lost and gained before (see above) I really want to plan for maintenance this time; hence joining this thread. After maintaining for a while at 75 kg, I may adjust my maintenance weight down to 72 kg (+/- 2.5), but I want to reach 75kg and maintain for a few months before making that decision.
Comment on this week:
This morning, after normal exercise (i.e. not a row over 10km!), I weighed in at 75.6 kg; when my weigh-ins on mornings I don't exercise have been below 77kg over the past two weeks. This places my weight firmly within my maintenance range but still in the top half. I am planning to move to maintenance calories once my monthly average is below 75.5 kg, which might be at the end of December (depending on how I do over Christmas).

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: This week was a planned surplus calorie week for me as it was my birthday week, and I budgeted in a modest surplus over the week. I also allowed myself in the back of my mind to go all out and eat over my surplus calories if I wanted, but I ended up not doing that except for 1 day (almost 3000 calories!), and stayed within the budgeted surplus calories the rest of the time. I ordered a ton of food and desserts/pastries, and despite this, I somehow didn't see much of any water weight gain - in fact, maybe even the opposite, as I dropped back down to ~110.5 lbs on two days this week.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: Had a great Birthday! Ate all the foods, drank all the booze and binge watched a ton on Netflix. Ate out more this week than we have during the entire pandemic 😌
Might need to watch food intake this week to get this trend down a bit, well in my window, but high for what I've been the last few months
Hope everyone has a great week.

Hi My name is Marianne. I maintain my weight just under 199.9- however it has become more difficult it seems. Two years ago I was around 115-117. Now I fight to not see the 119 number on the scale. My life changed drastically as my husband of 37 years died in 4.5 months from GBM. I was devastated. Eventually I moved and then met and married a wonderful man, also a widower. I am happy with him very happy. However I never would have a glass of wine for dinner and now know I enjoy it!!! I believe just a small amount of alcohol is making things harder as I also will have some hummus and carrots etc with it- often at 4. So I commit to this group that I will not do that today! I hope it is ok to put this post on the page. I have maintained my weight for countless years after a pretty significant weight loss-2

So sorry hear of your loss, but glad about your new relationship. My husband is a wine buff, and I find it sometimes presents some challenges to balance our love of wine with my wanting to stabilise my weight. Good luck! Its not my thread, but I think it would be great if you were to come back and post here. I am in my maintenance range but still aiming to reach my goal weight, so we are in a similar situation.
I think your opening sentence should probably read maintain my weight just under 119.9? Or maybe even 118.9?0 -
Yes thank you- 119.9 - I will keep posting thx3

Success/Struggles: My weight has fluctuated up and down a lot this week, but is staying in range. I had to cut my run on Thursday short because of hip pain. I think it is tendonitis, but no running for a few days maybe a week. So I am a little nervous about the decreased activity, but I know that as long as I pay attention to CI/CO it will all be ok.

Successes/struggles:
I was supposed to be going away on holiday last week - 4 nights in a hotel from Thursday to Monday - with lots of festive food and drink and less opportunity to exercise (no cycling for instance). In the run up to this I was happy to lose a couple of pounds to the bottom of my maintenance range. The holiday is cancelled - the hotel is in North Wales - so now I'm at home. Our New Years' Eve break is also cancelled, and Christmas Day will be a quiet one with my mum and boyfriend. So, here I am, near the bottom of my weight range. with a few more weeks of staying quietly at home. When I was this weight in the summer I had several holidays coming up - not to mention "Eat out to help out" - which got me back to a more sensible weight.
However, I have been working on counting my blessings - my family are all well*, none of them have been made redundant, we are in a much better position than so many others - so in comparison I have nothing to complain about.
Hope everyone is keeping well, stay safe.
*My son is still having chemotherapy for his brain tumour but is reasonably well.

Still losing, now with around 1 kg to go, and in my maintenance range since late October. Since I have lost and gained before (see above) I really want to plan for maintenance this time; hence joining this thread. After maintaining for a while at 75 kg, I may adjust my maintenance weight down to 72 kg (+/- 2.5), but I want to reach 75kg and maintain for a few months before making that decision.
Comment on this week:
I seem to be hovering around 76kg at the moment, but this time last month I was hovering around 77kg, so that's OK. I am grateful for my tracking graphs, as it's so easy to feel that I have been stuck for ages, when in fact I am losing slowly but steadily through the top half of my maintenance range. However, realising how slowly I am losing these last few kgs makes me wonder if I should think of maintenance as 75kg +/- 2kg rather than +/- 2.5kg. Realisticaly, a real gain of 2kg means two months to lose it at 0.25kg per week. I think I don't yet know enough about my normal weight fluctuations to judge this.
On Sunday I didn't exercise and ate at (or maybe even over) maintenance. I was still down at my weigh-in yesterday morning. This was my first weigh-in under 76kg without exercise. (I have not been there since June 2016, when I passed 76kg on getting heavier!) I am looking forward to discovering the true level of my maintenance calories.

Success/struggles
Not feeling well every other day. Very rare for me. Hope this goes away soon! Scale was edging up, now flattening. Glad I was able to catch it. Exercising a lot when I’m peppy, resting otherwise. Reducing calorie intake. Improving quality of food to help tummy bug.

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: My weight is up from last week, but that's a combination of that one 3000 calorie day I had last Saturday, which led to a big weight fluctuation Sunday and Monday, combined with some regular monthly fluctuations. I'm currently going through a salad phase for the last couple of weeks, where I've just been buying and eating a lot of salad greens - not something that I typically do, but it doesn't hurt to eat more veggies especially when I'm eating desserts all of the time!7 -

Age: 53

Total Weight lost: 35 kg
Time it took to lose: 12 months
How long in maintenance: Since April 2016 - but gained 10 kg March-May 2020 after massive trauma combined with COVID-19.
Maintenance weight range: 65-75 kg (not sure what’s the right answer - been up and down in there numerous times in my life, apart from going way over 2010-2015).
I’d like to lose a bit to get back to 70 kg, but I’m still happy at around 75 kg.
I’m experimenting with seeing how my satiety levels are in relation to the types of foods I eat. Trying to eat more whole foods, which I’ve been getting pretty good at, and less sugar, and it’s going quite well.

I’d like to lose a bit to get back to 70 kg, but I’m still happy at around 75 kg.
I’m experimenting with seeing how my satiety levels are in relation to the types of foods I eat. Trying to eat more whole foods, which I’ve been getting pretty good at, and less sugar, and it’s going quite well.
Success/struggles of the week: Trying to learn not to be so hard on myself.
One day over calories does not outweigh the calories I was under on other days.
Saw a physiotherapist again and have been doing my exercises and my hip is starting to feel better.
Just run 1.5 km, and I'm happy about that.

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

Name: Kathryn
Age: 52
Height: 5'4"
Total Weight lost: ~80 lbs
Time it took to lose: 2 years 3 months
How long in maintenance: I called maintenance in July 2016, but I continued to slowly lose until December of 2017. I have been in maintenance since December 2017
Maintenance weight range: 113 - 118 lbs
Average weight recorded from 2018: 118.8

Week of...
December 6: 112.0 scale/ 113.7 trend
December 13: 112.8 scale/ 113.5 trend
December 20
December 27
Success/Struggles: My weight was good this week. Since I wasn't running this week I dropped my calorie goal by 350 calories. I didn't have any trouble eating at that level. And my weight trend stayed in the 113 range all week and I only had 1 day at 114 actual weight and today was 112.8 but I try to just look at the trend. So that reassured me that if I need to cut my exercise I will be able to eat less and not feel deprived. My hip is feeling better and I did get out for a 2.5 mile run yesterday. So I am easing back into running and will adjust my calories as needed. I really love that CI/CO works.

@kgirlhart --
Yes - CICO does work. When I was eating about 300 calories over maintenance, I started gaining about a half pound a week. Now staying closer to right on target, I'm stabilizing. Now I need to work on a small deficit to get back the middle and/or bottom of my maintenance range.

Still losing, now with around 1 kg to go, and in my maintenance range since late October. Since I have lost and gained before (see above) I really want to plan for maintenance this time; hence joining this thread. After maintaining for a while at 75 kg, I may adjust my maintenance weight down to 72 kg (+/- 2.5), but I want to reach 75kg and maintain for a few months before making that decision.
Comment on this week:
Still hovering around 76kg... I am really looking forward to being able to say that I am hovering around 75.5 kg!
I am not surprised my weigh-in this week up a bit, as we ate takeaway on Thursday and Friday: my first non-home cooked meals since I travelled back to Germany at the end of June. We ate well over the weekend too. I would still like to be below 75.5kg before Christmas. We'll see...

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: Well, my weight is still up a bit, unfortunately. I did have a few meals from restaurants which probably didn't help with that. On the other hand, this week has been a pretty good workout week. I've basically been putting minimal effort into most workouts and have maybe one good workout day here and there, but I had three good workout days this week.3 -
@kristen8000 Yes, I figure that if you're confident you can lose it again, you can eat a bit more at Christmas. That's how we got where we longterm maintainers are. That's also something the beginners need to learn how to do.
@mtaratoot Haha, yes, I've been cooking nice food, which is good, and can be bad when it comes to the scale. 0 -

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 of the week: Even though I am cooking some really delicious food, am returning a little focus on moderating my weight back to where it should be. I also have realized I can give myself permission to luff for the next eleven days so my focus will be more of a "soft focus," and I can have a little joy in my crazy life.
Struggle of the week: I am cooking some really delicious food. And AFTER I made fresh whole wheat buttermilk biscuits yesterday, I found my neighbors had left me a really tasty cake on my porch. Don't worry. It won't bother me for much longer.

A rough few weeks, but lab tests are beginning to shed light. My major struggle is not letting the fear of the unknown overwhelm me.
And actually resting.3
