    Disconnected my garmin tracker from MFP so I can focus on hitting one consistent calorie target. For now I have it set to 2260 and will adjust according to trend weight over time. Trend weight is going down. Would love for it to be towards the low end by the Chicago Marathon.

    Successes/Struggles: I got my 4 video exercises in this week. That has been a struggle for me the last few weeks. But I didn't get my walks in every day and did not do so well tracking my food. Weight is stable but I do all those things for general health not just weight. Tracking food keeps my focus on healthy food as much as keeping track of calories.

    Name: Orphia
    Age: 54
    Height: 176 cm
    Heaviest weight: 98.9 kg
    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.
    Weekly averages checking day for me is Sunday.

    Current moving average: 77.86 kg
    Today’s weigh-in: 77.59 kg
    Average weight recorded from 2015 (12 months): 85 kg

    I’m still deciding if I need to eat less.

    Wishing all of you a great week!

    Name: missperfectpitch
    Height: 5'4"
    Total weight lost: About 43 pounds
    Time it took to lose: 1 year and 2 months
    How long in maintenance: I hit my goal weight in the beginning of January 2018, but officially started maintenance in mid-March 2018 after figuring out my calories for a couple of months.
    Maintenance weight range: 108-112.5

    Average weight recorded for 2018: 109.8
    Average weight recorded for 2019: 111.2
    Average weight recorded for 2020: 111.6

    Average weight recorded for August 2020: 112.9
    Average weight recorded for September 2020: 112.4
    Average weight recorded for October 2020: 111.7
    Average weight recorded for November 2020: 111.5
    Average weight recorded for December 2020: 112.1

    Average weight recorded for January: 111.6
    Average weight recorded for February: 111.7
    Average weight recorded for March: 112.2
    Average weight recorded for April: 111.3
    Average weight recorded for May: 112.4
    Average weight recorded for June: 113.1

    Week ending:
    July 3: 114 (trending 113.6)
    July 10: 113.6 (trending 113.6)
    July 17: 113.7 (trending 113.6)
    July 24: 113.9 (trending 113.8)
    July 31: 114 (trending 113.8)

    Successes/struggles of the week: Ending the month quite a bit higher than I'd like, though this week was a weird one. My weight jumped all the way up to 115 lbs, but then I dropped down by 1.2 lbs the next day, then another .8 lbs the next, for a 2 lb difference in a couple of days. I've been trying to drink a lot of water to help get rid of some of the water weight retention issues, and that has been helping, but it is difficult to drink so much water consistently.
