3/29 (Thursday) - 213 - Hopeful for 210 at the end of 10 days

3/30 (Friday) - 213 - I stepped on the scale this morning and all all sorts of #'s flashed by, from 211 point something to 212 to 213. Smh

3/31 (Saturday) - 213 - I consumed a couple of very carby foods for Passover, so my weight is a surprise to me. The "wine", juice for me, has 37 carbs per 8 ozs, I drank 3 ozs. The matzo has 25 net carbs per serving, which is my limit on keto.

4/1 (Sunday) - 214.2 - Lol. Not a good sign. Now not so hopeful for 210 by the end of the challenge. Tough week ahead, carb wise. Feast of Unleavened Bread ends Saturday evening.

A Miracle!!
I’ve been working at this since January 2016 (not 2017 LOL) I told myself even if it took 2-3 years, it would be better than gaining 2lbs a month as I had been, and if I maintained for a month, I was *really* losing 2lbs. I lost 12.3 in 2016, 25 in 2017, and 15 so far in 2018.

7 more pounds to GW. I lost more this month than in any of the previous 5 months. I’d always been told weight loss slows down as you nearGW, but I boosted my exercise frequency & intensity greatly. I’m going to take off the final 7 pounds much more slowly (basically recomp) & focus on fitness.

@Slja2013 , this thread has helped me get over fear of those fluctuations and learn to treat the scale as information not a reward or punishment, simply because I can see a mess of us on this thread doing the same thing, upsies downsies! However I am in COMPLETE support of whatever strategy works best for you personally, because.... wait for the bad joke ... Weight loss is not "one size fits all"

@mz144 yep up and down! Stick with what works for you, take it slow and steady. I would suggest you track your 10-day averages over time. Many of us on this thread have spoilers you can look at that show how our averages have dropped.

2. no mindless/unhealthy snacking, limit eating out/takeaway
3. stay AF through 6/7 days,
4. 8000-10,000steps 6/7 days
5. 8-10 cups of H20

Day/Weight/Comment

3/29 - 124.0lbs(Starting no. looked doubtful, having dropped suddenly from 125.8 after MFP for last 3-4 days). Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
3/30 - 124.0 Ate in calorie limits; no mindless snacking; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.
3/31 - 122.4lbs (?) Ate in calorie limits; was sucked into a bit of mindless snacking took a few bites but otherwise stayed away; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day. The number on the scale looked doubtful. Was back to 124 midday, so may be a fluke. Remember to eat meals on time to avoid snacking.
4/1 - 123.5lbs Ate in calorie limits; snacked but accounted, eed to plan and control better; AF; 10,000+ steps; 10 cups H2O :: Good day.

Round 9 for me. I REALLY wanted to shoot for ONEDERLAND this round, so I'm going to. I may not get there, but I'm going to give it all I've got. Potential issues that could slow me down: one scheduled day of basketball, my brother-in-law flaking out on me again regarding teaching me squats and deadlifts (meeting up with him Saturday night), Easter (dinner and candy), and potentially feeling a little bit MEH. No matter what happens regarding my goal, though, my weight trend is clearly and steadily heading in the right direction.

Age: 45
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs

Ultimate GW: 195.0 lbs (and then reevaluate)
R28 SW = 220.0 EW = 219.8 (-0.2) AW = 220.2 (+0.2)
R29 SW = 219.8 EW = 214.0 (-5.8) AW = 215.9 (-4.3)
R30 SW = 214.0 EW = 214.0 (-0.0) AW = 214.1 (-1.8)
R31 SW = 214.0 EW = 209.2 (-4.8) AW = 211.3 (-2.8)
R32 SW = 209.2 EW = 209.6 (+0.4) AW = 208.9 (-2.4)
R33 SW = 209.6 EW = 207.4 (-2.2) AW = 208.2 (-0.7)
R34 SW = 207.4 EW = 206.6 (-0.8) AW = 206.6 (-1.6)
R35 SW = 206.6 EW = 204.2 (-2.4) AW = 204.1 (-2.5)

Total loss (since 1/14/18, but before this round): 15.8 lbs
Average weight loss per round: 2.18 lbs

R36 SW = 204.2
Goal for this round: ONEDERLAND (going for it)

Day/Weight/Comment

3/29 = 203.4 (-0.8). Another BOUNCE BACK™, but a good way to start the challenge. I'm getting excited about the Keto idea, but it's not so much about weight loss (as I'm getting pretty good at that). I've talked about potential health benefits (less inflammation, something good regarding my brain, etc.), but I also recognize how hopelessly addicted to sugar I am. To me, if it's not actually a drug, it might as well be. When I get near it, I go insane. It takes EVERYTHING in me to avoid partaking in this habit, and EVEN MORE to get me to stop once I've started. It's a craving, it NEVER makes me feel good when I eat it (just my taste buds!), and I think my life might be a little better when it's no longer part of it. This will be an experiment, but one that I'm excited to try. As soon as I make an appointment with my doctor to make sure I'm not going to kill myself with it, that is. Food was good yesterday, though may have been just slightly below maintenance (I'm careful to estimate "over" when tracking food). Going to the gym tonight with my wife. I'm pretty fit overall, and I did a bunch of research regarding proper form on squats and deadlifts, so I'm going to try them tonight (with very light weights). T minus one more week before I can play basketball again (stupid Spring Break).

3/30 = 203.2 (-0.2). Had a decent day eating yesterday. I'm noticing that, since I've been tracking steps and having them converted to "extra calories," I've been eating all those calories. It's not bad, necessarily, but it's been happening. What also happens, though, is I'm walking a lot more as a result. It's probably a good tradeoff, but I'm thinking I'll try to eat back no more than half (something I try to do on any exercise day). I'm 99% sure I'm going to try keto. If I can get through the first 8 weeks, I'll stick with it for at least 6 months to see if I notice any tangible benefits. I'm going to start in a couple of weeks, though, because I want to enjoy my Easter candy in a non-binge way. My last hurrah. Don't judge me!

3/31 = 202.0 (-1.2). DROOSH™ (night after drinking). Happy hour with coworkers led to 3 beers (not too bad), a quesadilla (all I had for dinner), and a minor binge on Peeps and Lucky Charms marshmallows (450 calories or so) when I got home. Food otherwise was pretty good for the day. Finally going to learn deadlifts and squats from my brother-in-law today (unless he flakes). Having a hard time trusting that this is my actual weight, but I'm going to suspend disbelief for today.

4/1 = 202.4 (+0.4). I expected a bigger bump than this, so I'm relatively happy with this number. I have to confess that I am writing this in the evening after a really long Easter Sunday at my in-laws' house. I had lunch out with my wife and brother-in-law yesterday, but at a small dinner to compensate (and stayed under calories). I finally learned how to deadlift and squat (as brother-in-law did NOT flake on me), so I'll be starting SL 5x5 soon (probably a week from tomorrow). I'll write about today (Easter) tomorrow morning after my weigh-in. Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend.

3/31 272.8 Nice Woosh surprising went to opening day and ate ok but not my normal range of foods and not "clean" as normal so maybe I can lose weight and still enjoy everything in moderation

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.

Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.

According to Big Fat Myths: When You Lose Weight, Where Does the Fat Go? which is an interesting perspective on "diet" 148oz / 9.25 lbs of food/water/oxygen a day but depending on how efficient everything processes we don't operate on a perfect 24 hour cycle to use all that so you get those fluctuations. I think that is semi comforting to keep in mind we are not robots and CICO doesn't operate at perfect 24 hour scale either.

3/29 - 195lbs. major munchies late last night so kinda surprised at a loss.
3/30 - 195lbs - surprising after eating 800 calories worth of turkey burgers last night.
3/31 - 196 - up 1 pound -oh well I was just following doctors orders to eat less greens. maybe 20oz ground beef patty was a little overkill. but so yummy. I do love meat.
4/1 - 195lbs - my children nicknamed me the cause of obesity and with everything on the menu today I believe they speak the truth.

Goal for this round: 155ish. This will most likely be a maintenance round for me if I’m lucky. I had a big loss last round and that is usually followed by a stagnant period. I’m ok with that; my body and I are figuring each other out! I also am in the middle of a kitchen make-over, so…I’m eating out almost every meal. I’ll be happy to mostly maintain until I can cook again.

Day/Weight/Comment
3/29 = 156.4
3/30 = 156.6
3/31 = 155.8 Got the bounce to reverse, so that’s good. Also I have a good grill now that hubby and I can cook on while the kitchen is still without appliances. Won’t have to eat out quite as often, although cleaning up after cooking, with no sink, will be fun.
4/1 = 155.4 Was SO good to cook at home last night! Easter buffet today though so calories will probably be over today. Hoping for some exercise in the afternoon though to help offset.
4/2 = 157.4. Easter cost me two pounds, but hopefully only for a little while. I can get this back down in a few days, I think.
