    Average weight recorded for October 2021 currently: 78.46 kg

    Reflection: My average over the week is down but my weight was up again this morning. This past week has been quite stressful. I've eaten more bread this week than I normally would. Although I'm still working out, I haven't yet got back into swimming, and because I was travelling/working from home I've also not been doing much walking. What I need to do is start logging fod again, but I'll be away next week (seeing family for the first time since January 2020); I'll be working on a better routine thereafter. Maintenance is a challenge I definnitely don't yet have my head round.

    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: 76.9 kg
    Today’s weigh-in: 77.2 kg

    Average weight recorded from 2015 (12 months): 85 kg
    Average weight recorded from 2016 (12 months): 64 kg
    Average weight recorded from 2017 (12 months): 64 kg
    Average weight recorded from 2018 (12 months): 65 kg
    Average weight recorded from 2019 (12 months): 65 kg

    Oct 11: 114.0
    Oct 18: 115.0
    Oct 25: 114.0

    Success/Struggle: Since I have had stressful, out of the ordinary, weeks for the last 5 weeks, I think I should call it ordinary. This week was a wind storm which knocked our electricity out for a day. It just messes with me. I eat differently, don't track food as I should, don't exercise like I want. I've got to make sure I stay with good habits even if my life is not calm. I know that is obvious but hard to remember when in the middle.

    Oct 30: 111.7 (trending 112.3)

    Successes/struggles of the week: My average weight for this week was 111.7, which is the lowest I've been since around May, after which I started gaining quite a bit of water weight due to summer temperatures as well as a new medication that makes me retain a bit of water weight. Still not down to the middle of my range where I prefer to be, but definitely progress in the right direction. Of course, it's only a few weeks until holiday season starts though...
