GW <160 Sept 2018
Avg yearly wts 2019-2021: 155-157.5
Maintained <160 until Sept 2021 3 years
I’m whittling it back down, NOW, before it takes up residence!
I also found out I’m 5’8” now (1/2” shorter than I was in 2015) so once I get back in my maintenance range, I will set a new, lower maintenance range- to be more in line with shorter height.
Thank you for this challenge!

I have got to stop yo yo dieting. Portion control is the only thing that works for me. I will go back to weighing in on Fridays and post it here, the good, bad and the ugly. Good luck and good health to all!5

Hello all! I am going to give this a try. I have been actively watching my CICO for almost 2 years. In the spring I started eating gluten free-ish (about 95%) to help alleviate symptoms from hasimoto's. I started Dec 1, 2019 at 231.0 lbs. I am a 38 year old mom of two who "loves" to run half marathons.
11/1: 203.4 lbs - 20 days out from my half marathon and no motivation to train.
11/2: 202.6 lbs - yesterday was a good day eating wise but not much exercise.
11/3: 202.4 lbs - I was able to get in a run yesterday and my husband made an awesome GF lasagna. good day all around!
11/4: 202.2 lbs - Not much activity yesterday but I kept my calories in line.
11/5: 201.6 lbs - I weighed in much later today which is probably most of the decrease. I ran 2 miles yesterday. I am 2 weeks out from my half marathon and couldn't do my last long run last weekend bc I was sick. So I broke my 12 miler over today and tomorrow. I ran 6 this afternoon and will run 6 tomorrow morning. I am eating gluten today bc Chick-fil-A chicken tenders sounded way too good after my run but I only ate half my fries bc I was full. Have a great weekend all!!
11/6: 202.0 lbs - I expected the increase due to the Chick-fil-A. I was only able to get in 3 miles this morning. I haven't eaten well today but stayed within my calories.
11/7: 201.8 lbs - not great for eating today. We will see what happens to the scale tomorrow.
11/8: DNW - I had to run out to the school bc my daughter forgot her glasses, so I did not weigh in. Happy Monday everyone!!
11/9: 202.8 lbs - I've been under calories everyday... frustrating but just the way it goes.5 -

My mom who I have been estranged from for 10 years passed away and stirred up a lot of bad memories for me...we never had a relationship and in fact, I wasn't even mentioned in the will...expected that but nonetheless still hurts to know that your mom didn't care. So I reset and forge ahead as I deal with these mix of emotions! It's all about the journey and being the best version of ourselves!!! Have a great well all!!!
@shannonkelly08 I am so sorry for the loss and all the bad memories and mixed emotions that it brings. Not all relationships are are good or fair and I understand how difficult that can be. I have had some important relationships not work myself. Praying you will find peace with all your feelings.7 -

I'm sorry to hear this, my relationship wasn't great with my dad and I was really thrown by his death (back 10 years ago). Good for you for resetting. I found I needed to grieve the relationship I wanted and didn't have rather than the one I did have.
Thank you!! This is it exactly!!! ❤️4 -

Aug Starting weight: 134.8
Current weight: 130.1
Goal weight: 120
11/2 130.1
11/9 130.7 (+0.6)
Not sure why the scale is going up as I stayed within calories and spent 6 hours at the gym last week and have already logged an additonal 4 hours of strength training and spinning thus far this week. Weight loss was sooo much easier prior to menopause6 -
