    Scale up higher than I’d like, but mostly from too many calories earlier in August. Working to turn scale around. Smoke filled skies are not helping my steps.

    I’m tracking carefully & attending to my wts trends.

    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: 78.0 kg
    Today’s weigh-in: 78.2 kg

    Average weight recorded from 2015 (12 months): 85 kg

    HEAVIEST weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Total Weight lost: 30 pounds
    Time it took to lose: ~6 months
    How long in maintenance: Since July 2018 -- but with some fluctuation outside of goal range.
    Maintenance weight range:
    Ideally 142 - 148
    Absolutely 140-150

    (and STILL not sure those are the right answers)

    Average weight Week of...

    Sep 5 - 11 .............
    Sep 12 - 18 ....................
    Sep 19 - 25 ..................
    Sep 26 - Oct 2 ...........


    Success of the week: I continue to drift back down towards my goal range. Two pounds in August. One and a half of those are from the last two weeks. I took the week off work; already had approved leave. Used half of it even though I cancelled my river trip permit.

    Struggle of the week: Bummed about cancelling the river trip. At least I got out to paddle a little bit locally; more tomorrow.

    I still might revise my maintenance range up a bit. My current mass still has me at a healthy BMI. Like @Orphia, I feel like my range should be a bit lower. It is coming back down but so slowly. Winter is coming. I don't think that will make things any easier.

    Successes/struggles of the week: I'm still slowly moving back down again - I hit the low 112's again a couple of days ago. Of course, weekend/eating out meant that my weight jumped back up again. I wasn't able to work out as much as I would have liked this past week, but hope to be able to do so this week.

    The holidays I took over the summer have left their mark – my trend weight has gone from 49.5 kg at the end of June to nearly 51 kg now! Last week I was with my daughter and kids and we had fish and chips, pasties (we were in Cornwall) and cake – and beer!

    I have three weeks at home now before I go away again, so time to buckle down.

    maintained (i.e. was below 77.5 kg, and mostly below 75 kg) from February 2015-July 2017; was then put on a medication and gained 2 kg in a month; went on sabbatical (away from scales; lots of conference meals); hit (peri-)menopause and lost track of things except to note that I was steadily gaining and back to 85/86 kg.
    Lost to 81 kg at Easter 2020 (top of normal bmi for me), but then gained back to 88 kg in April/May (Easter egg binge; lock down closed the pool...).

    Average weight recorded for September 2021 currently: 76.79 kg

    Reflection: I came back from retreat and weighed in at just under 76kg, but two weeks later (back to drinking wine in the evenings after a month of no alcohol ...), I am firmly back at 77kg. I am still pretty toned having done a lot of walking on retreat, and am now back to working out in the mornings. I don't want to go much higher than this, but we'll see.

    Successes/struggles of the week: A mostly uneventful week, though it has been busy with work, so I've managed to get my daily steps goal in each day but haven't exceeded it during the week. I also didn't get a chance to do my weekly 20-minute stairs workout this past week due to being busy. Hopefully this coming week will be less crazy so I'll be able to do more.

    maintained (i.e. was below 77.5 kg, and mostly below 75 kg) from February 2015-July 2017; was then put on a medication and gained 2 kg in a month; went on sabbatical (away from scales; lots of conference meals); hit (peri-)menopause and lost track of things except to note that I was steadily gaining and back to 85/86 kg.
    Lost to 81 kg at Easter 2020 (top of normal bmi for me), but then gained back to 88 kg in April/May (Easter egg binge; lock down closed the pool...).

    Average weight October 2015 - September 2016: 72.33 kg

    21 September:
    28 September:

    Average weight recorded for September 2021 currently: 77.11 kg

    Reflection: Up to 78kg last week, though I might be on my way down now. I put this down to the change of diet and exercise while I was away, but I am also eating too much chocolate adn drinking too much wine. I'll aim to stay here (preferably around 77:5 kg) for the next few weeks adn then I'll be on my own for a bit because of work and can move back to losing for a few weeks and get to the lower end of my range.

    Reflections: it’s certainly not been easy to lose just a couple of pounds, but I’m - in general - more in control of my eating/tracking again! A week of cooler weather saw a drop. Hot weather next week, but eventually Fall will be here!

    More fatigued than usual- my doc took sept off, but I’ll see him first week Oct. I’m making a list :)

    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.

    More downward movement, yay.

    I started using Noom on Monday and it must have given me some motivation and determination to stick to a higher calorie deficit.

    Successes/struggles of the week: My average weight for the week is finally back within my range again, with two weigh-ins in the mid-111's! I haven't done anything differently, so it might be that it dropped with the onset of cooler weather recently.

    Average weight recorded for September 2021 currently: 77.35 kg

    Reflection: My weight seems to be all over the place at present, but the trend is definitely up, and hovering above my wider maintenance range. As well as my diet not being great, my sleep has been a bit interrupted and although I am working out most days, I haven't been walking. It's also a stressful time of year at work with the beginning of the academic year. I'm still comfortably within normal bmi so have decided not to beat myself up about this, but to get through the next few weeks and see where I am. I am really noticing and enjoying the muscles I've devloped over the last few months and my abs are quite defined, so this is not simply a slide.
