I’d have to give blessing with you on this. Which is not something I typically do! I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

I just don’t understand those charts!

Everyone seems to be pretty busy these days and not finding time for blogging. We all understand.

I think everyone struggles more with the weekends. But you can hardly call .02 massive…

You’re doing fantastic with maintaining your weight, Andrew! A big inspiration!

The weekends are hardest for me too. It’s not a bad gain so don’t let it get you down.

Andrew – don’t worry about a again of 0.02kg. Most people eat way more than that in a single meal. Understand that your weight will fluctuate (kind of like the stock market) but overtime it will go down if you continue on your path!

Looks all good to me, I reckon if we know exactly where we’re going “wrong” (I wouldn’t call maintaining too wrong), then it is still right on track. I find if I have a good weekend, it sets me up for a good week and vice versa, only problem is, some weekends are just too full of good (bad!) food offerings!

I think you are doing so great. I wonder if that’s what maintenance looks like. A few days up, a few days down, and it all evens out in the end!

Andrew, looks more like a plateau effect going on for you now more so than a gain. Not sure if more running is what you need; like I would know.. or of more blogging will do it Blogging burns calories; no?

Hanging tough Andrew! Keep it up!

Weekends get a lot of people off & for some, ruin a whole week’s worth of healthy eating. Looks like that is not you BUT I developed my own strategy for the weekends & maybe doing that will help you. I pick a couple treats.. I dn’t do whole days….

Boy, that’s not a gain, my scales don’t even measure to that degree – just call it even!

I don’t know if I could call that a gain LOL, you will get there!

First gain of the year and it’s hardly a gain. You are doing great considering the last pounds are the hardest to lose.

I recently started training for my first 10k witches is in a couple weeks. It seems like every weekend I take two steps back for the one step forward during the week.

Yep, after the Christchurch marathon I’m going to mix it up a bit more.

Good luck this week. I flat-lined over the past week because I wasn’t able to run (or do any other sort of exercise, for that matter). But the good news is that I’m holding steady more or less steady even in the absence of exercise — and I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to resume normal exercise soon.

.01kg over goal weight? That’s barely anything – I’m sure you’ll have no problem at all getting there next week. I know what you mean about weekends though, they’re still tough for me too. It’s much easier when I’m stuck at work and just have my set of healthy snacks for the day, without access to anything else to munch on.

The last few kg’s are really hard to shift. I think you are doing great.

One thing that might be happening is you are probably getting really used to running the longer distances. You might want to try mixing it up, maybe some shorter interval training or incorporate some cross training?

I know what you mean about weekends. That is where I have the hardest time too with maintaining my caloric intake. It’s a good thing we run those long runs on the weekend to offset some of the excess calories, huh?
