Peanut butter M&Ms. The bag is labeled “Sharing Size” but I can’t make myself share.

@ajhouse We’re on the same page! My goal weight is also 125. I’m planning a maintenance range of 124-128. Like you, I’m always happy to see 120-something on the scale. 🙂 Keep up the good work! @kellycz My goal weight is 125. I would like to set maintenance between 122-125, but I am happy as long as I stay in the 120s for…

ajhouse, you’re doing great! Our stats are similar (except I’m 12 years older). I’m curious what your goal weight is.

Thank you for setting this up! I am only one month into maintenance, so this will be a great tool for me. Name: KellyCz Age: 49 Height: 5’5” Total weight lost: 18.5 lbs.

Congrats! Amazing job.

You look amazing! You must feel so strong and confident. Great work!

Thanks! At the original 1200 setting, I was VERY hungry and losing about 2 pounds a week which was too quickly for my stats. 1500 worked well for me (a loss of about 1 pound per week). When I got within a few pounds of my goal, I added another hundred to slow my loss down and help transition to maintenance.

You will!

Same. I must have music when I run. Previously tried Kronies wireless ear buds, and they wouldn’t stay in place. Been using my AirPods for 7 months now with great success.

Body Glide is a life saver.

I’m 5’5” and it was a tight squeeze getting into my size 10 jeans at 146 lbs. I’m currently at 135 lbs., and a size 8 fits comfortably.

Say hello to Dexter. He’s an old guy and slowing down, but still loves shorter walks.

Try not to focus on the 50 pounds… it can be overwhelming. Take it one day at a time instead. You said yesterday was a bad eating day, so just focus on eating better today and planning to eat better tomorrow. TOM makes me ravenous as well. I try to incorporate lots of extra walking during that time to help burn at least…

I am jealous of this on so many levels (see bolded content)! Congrats on your ongoing success. Hoping to be there someday too.

OP, have you tried using a weight trending app and weighing yourself more frequently than once a week? It’s often recommended here as a way to help you see the overall [hopefully downward] trend. I’ve been using Happy Scale since the first of the year, and find it to be quite helpful—especially when my weight goes up a bit.

56 to 72 ounces on average.

Yesterday I enjoyed a rest day. This morning I did yoga and ran 2 miles. Tomorrow I will do yoga. Sunday I have a 3-mile run on the schedule. Training for a 5-mile race in late April. 🙂

A coworker told me that she carries a lot of extra waste in her bowels, so she’s really 5 pounds lighter than the scale indicates.

I was about to reply something similar! I am also 5’5”. On Jan. 1st, I weighed 146 pounds (10 stone 6) and my US size 10 jeans were VERY snug. I’m at 136 now (9 stone 10) and my US size 8 jeans are comfortable.

Thanks for this. I started at 146 and am aiming for 126 or thereabouts, so very similar to your starting/ending weights. (Started Jan. 1 and am at 136.7 today.) I know everyone is different, but it’s helpful to see your overall timeframe.

Down 10 lbs. 7 to go. Slow and steady!
