As long as I am getting stronger and building muscle it doesn't bother me to be a few pounds up.

gaining 2.2 lb a week
20 February 2016
I joined a gym this last week. A friend of mine wanted a workout partner so I'm getting together with her now to actively get more exercise. Today was my gym orientation, which included a fitness test. I first did a bench step test which involved me stepping up and down from an elevated platform (~8" tall) for 3 minutes and then checking my heart rate after resting for a minute. Next I did a bent arm hang, then squats, then push ups and finally crunches. I did fair in most of the other exercises, but I was a little frustrated that I wasn't able to do the bent arm hang longer. My lungs were tired before my arms were; if I wasn't struggling as much to breathe I think I could have held out even longer. As it stands I feel kind of awesome because the trainer who tested me was impressed. (I held on for 56 seconds.) I'm not exactly new to weight training as I used to regularly lift weights with my husband when we were in the habit of working out 2-3 times a week. I remember training to do dips (which I can't really do yet) by hanging from a bar and lowering myself very gradually from a chin up position. I also had my BMI measured using an Omron reader. I wasn't sure what it was going to say because I didn't have the faintest clue what my BMI was. The reading it gave though was a little under 22. So, considering that my initial ultimate goal body fat percentage was 17, it's kind of exciting that I am relatively close to that now. (I know though that dropping that last 4-5% typically is the hardest challenge in the weight loss journey.)
I looked again at my weight graph. In the past year my highest weight was 170lb. That was May 2015. I am currently at the lowest weight I have ever been in my adult life. I weigh about the same now as I did my freshman year of high school (and I thought I was fat back then because I was comparing myself to girls who were younger then me and had more slender frames than I do). I am happy with my current weight and actually hope not to lose much more- if any weight. I want to work on increasing my exercise and lean muscle mass as well as ensuring that I have good eating habits. (I.e, I need to cut down on snacking/ binge eating late at night. I do well with breakfast and lunch currently, it's just my eating habits at home after work that I need to work on.)

losing 0.7 lb a week
15 January 2016
I have been using a scale that isn't calibrated correctly. (It doesn't read zero when it is not in use, it reads about -5lb, so trying to remember which way to change the actual reading it gives me is an interesting/ humbling illustration of my challenges with simple, mental math.)
In other news my job search is over. :-D I start my new job on Monday and my last day at my old job is Jan 30. (I have a lot on my plate right now so I am not ready to try and pull two jobs at the same time long term, especially when I am fortunate enough not to need to do that.)

steady weight
30 December 2015
I went clothes shopping at a thrift store to prepare for a job interview and get a few more work clothes/pants that fit better. I am now wearing about a size 6/8 (varies by brand). I was wearing a 10/12 back in June, so it seems I am down about one or two pant sizes. Yippee! From now on I am going to try to ensure maintenance between 125 and 135. When I initially joined fatsecret several years ago my goal was 130lb and/or 17% body fat. I am not doing any weight training for now to work on BF%, so 130lb is my target and I'm ok with being 5lb away in either direction. For my frame I don't know that it would be good to go below 125lb.
