On track, but not minimising cat 3 = morbidly obese

This is a 1lb gain while eating at maintenance and with bug run ins. You may actually still be losing. In any case you're within measurement error range of up, down, maintain, so pretty much doing great❣️❣️❣️3

Really? That’s music to my ears @PAV8888 … especially when feel fed up / let the side down about the gain! Hey ho.. to err is to be human eh?!
To err is human, to forgive divine! This is a super marathon after all, or a long term germination experiment...depending on your roleplaying preferences. You may have even lost some in actuality, given the particulars. This is a good resource.
Scale Fluctuations Are Annoying. Here’s What’s Going On
Back to the Balkan front, small progress this week, in the right direction though.

Thanks for link @Dante_80
Does resonate with me! The fluctuations are a reason why I have gone from weighing so much!
I’ve never been able to weigh daily as it would just blow my mind, weekly was bad enough, which is why I’m going to see if I have the courage to go to monthly … as I believe in the process and I have other important - if not more important things to think about - like macros and exercise types I can do to get to where I’d like to be! ✊4 -
Congrats, Dante!3

Dante - thank you for that link. I read this before but I really needed it again. No matter how much I know that a bump or even a BUMP on the scale doesn't mean very much when I'm on an overall good eating/moving program - it still messes with my head after a few days. I've been a daily weigher (except recently when I don't weight myself after a day of eating too much). For a year I've used that lower scale weight in the morning to motivate me. But, now that I have less fat to lose that doesn't happen so consistently so I think it is time for me to give up daily weigh-ins - OR - really absorb the info in that link! Not sure which I will do. Probably just torture myself a bit longer - but I really hope not.5

Weight trend app
Happy scale fruit people
Libra for little robots
Trendweight for me and web people (free Fitbit account required--but device not required to open one)
Weightgrapher if you need to compare to "a month ago" because of hormonal monthly weight fluctuations3 -
I'm a Happy Scale person...2

But it is really really depressing when you make the weight trend app show you bad looking trends....

If you're a little robot you can change how many days it takes into account and smooth out out more🙀❣️2

You all are all still doing so great. Happy to read about all the continued progresses! I’m down another 10lb mark and I’m definitely still learning about how my body reacts to calorie intake/restrictions. I’ve been sticking to my low cal amount (1350) and now started HIIT exercise 3-4 times a week so I’ve been doing good. I had a planned cheese/wine night a couple weeks ago which unfortunately led me to binge for two further days (not extreme binges like I’ve done in past but still eating atleast prob 3x what I normally eat if not more) which led to a zero weight loss for that week following BUT since I went right back on my plan after that binge I actually dropped 6 lbs this week! (It’s always so true that consistency produces those results..that has really stuck with me this time around which is why I think I’m finally being successful. Dust myself off when needed and never give up is my mantra). What I am now just learning (yes...even after 8 months!) is that my body reacts to a variable diet/cal intake. I tend to slow/stall weight loss if too low in cals for too long so a temporary large intake in calories tends to kickstart that weight loss again. I remember reading about this from others but never quite paid attention to it. Anyway, I’m now going to try and plan these little breaks every 6 weeks or so but I need to learn how to eat at maintenance during these times as it can quickly turn the other way and make me gain if not careful. So on to my stats..
Height: 5'8
Age: 39
Start Weight and all time high (dec 2020): 308lbs😳/sz 22
LW-240.4
CW- 230.4
Next Mini GW- 220lbs - sz16/18
Ultimate GW 160-175ish🤷♀️
78lbs total loss....another 58lbs left to goal...I still wonder if I will ever reach it3 -
Congratulations @joone_9. You have shared some great insights in this post. Thank you!2

Won't help because trendweight doesn't let you change settings 🤷🏻♂️
After your march to May increase you started coming down mid May and did some way sharper decreases July to mid September❣️
Only you know if the late September increases are real extra calories or exercise/sodium etc related 🤷🏻♂️
I can assure you that *my* 2 or 3 lbs are absolutely real!!!🙀 😹1 -
They are maybe a combination? Everything seems a bit extreme - the 7 pound weight gain just over a week ago that happened in two days - of eating too much but not THAT much. So it must be waterweight. But wow it is taking a long time to drop off despite some healthy/lower sodium eating. But those stats...they are so curt!

Wish I was as methodical as Dante and others about numbers. I don’t have FitBit - or clock steps. I’m doing the lazy woman version. Watch the eating and get some exercise daily. I’m hoping to structure the exercise program once my “sports” injuries recover. The goal is do the best I can each day and move on. I’ve managed to lose .5 lb this week. I’ll believe it when the weight is down consistently next week.3

@Dante_80 , the loss of 30 BMI points is awesome! I know BMI as an absolute measure has been discredited somewhat, but by any measure losing 46.5% of your starting body weight is a tremendous achievement!5

You guys are doing awesome!
And I sense that Connie is getting some real competition here❣️😹1 -
