    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.

    Average weight recorded for 2019: 111.2
    Average weight recorded for 2020: 111.6
    Average weight recorded for 2021: 112.5

    Week ending:
    July 1: 114.2 (trending 113.7)
    July 8: 116.1 (trending 114.9)
    July 15: 115.7 (trending 115.3)
    July 22: 115.3 (trending 115.2)
    July 29: 115.1 (trending 115.2)

    Successes/struggles of the week: Still about the same as last week in terms of trending weight. We had a bad storm a few days ago, and my power was out for quite a while so I lost the contents of my fridge. Unfortunately, that meant that I was back to takeout for a bit, which kept my weight on the higher end. I'm getting back into the fresh produce now, so hopefully I'll be able to get back on track again.

    Average weight Week of...


    July 31 - August 6 ........................ 151.1
    August 7 - 13 .................................
    August 14 - 20 ...............................
    August 21 - 27 ...............................
    August 28 - Sep 3 ........................


    Success of the week: Skipped my weekly hike to take two friends paddling; we had a great day. Took a couple days just to relax; I needed it. I feel good that even with the relax days I'm moving more towards the middle of my maintenance range. Someone is coming to look at a very nice canoe I have for sale.


    Struggle of the week: I miss time in the forest. Funny - for quite a while I wasn't hiking. I spent spare time on the river. When I'd hike I'd remember how much I enjoyed it. So now I miss that too. I am not sure I actually WANT to sell that very nice canoe. I'm going to get it out one more time just to make sure I'd be OK if it found a new home. It should. I like that it's ultralight. I probably should just get some part time work, earn some money, and build a storage shed so I can keep more canoes.
