I see good and substantial results and solid trajectories.
Reasonable goals that motivate are good. Achieving a process that will eventually allow you to reach your goal *and stay there* is even more important I think.
Achieving a pound a week represents a substantial deficit and results in a substantial decrease in weight over time (52lbs a year, for example: try swinging that kettlebell around! ๐น)
I've averaged both a 695 average calories a day deficit for a year. And a 125 average Cal a day deficit over a year.
I will honestly say that even though the results of the first were more dramatic, neither of the two was easier, or harder to implement at the time.
I will also say that the degree of hamster ๐น checking necessary to make sure that things were not going off the rails by over restricting or by making short-term decisions instead of keeping the long-term prize in mind was, for me, non zero!๐น And that was more intense with the larger deficit.
Long term plans are good. The flexibility to enjoy good results that are heading in the right direction is even better! And what's best? Not getting to the end, 'cause that means I'm still above ground and kicking *kitten* โฃ๏ธ๐น
Off to get rained on by the deluge, but the girl has to poo ๐ฉ!!!๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ4 -
Very reasonable, PAV.
My "calories in" number has gone way up to match the time I'm "way up" into the week hours, working
My "calories out" number is down to match the hours spent sitting when only my brain is active
Work may pay the bills - but sometimes it really sucks.3 -
Ain't that the double whammy... and so very true so often.3
-
I hear that loud & clear, @lauriekallis - I'm trying to remember to be gentle with myself, since it looks like the combination of stress, insomnia, and "work sucks" may have derailed what I thought to be a ridiculously achievable goal for February.
Taking my own advice has never been a strong suit, lol ๐3 -

I lost 6.4 pounds in February. On 2/20 I saw a new low of 227.2 but I ended the month at 227.8 lbs. All last week the scale was yo-yoing between 227.8 & 228.8 glad the month ended on the lower number.

Congrats, ABD. I'm quite excited about a new month starting tomorrow!!!!!2

Congrats, ABD!!!
Hoping to start posting again soon, I've been very thankful for that thread about not letting the scale get in your head the last couple weeks - it has only recently become a "not-odd" point in the cycle for things to stall/increase. Should be on the other side of all that within a few days....just carrying on, and waiting for a fantastic whoosh.
Anyone else who's been around the mountain multiple times notice particular sticking points where your body just seems to dig its heels in even when you're doing the things right? Not sure what my body has for the 230s, but I want them in the rearview mirror already. ๐คฃ๐6 -
Always feels longer while you're there. Yet in the rear view mirror it's a blink
I remember thinking I would NEVER get under 200, I am so stuck here
One day under, many days over.
Now? It is in the free falling section of the weight loss graph somewhere in history
I'm saying the same thing for 156 now (157 today, 155 three days ago). But I'm using two different scales/locations and there is no scope for free fall!๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ5 -
Welp...that was a big hiatus. Sorry for that, covid sucks.
Back on track now!

GW: 68.7 kg - 151.5 lb - 24.9 ฮฮฮ
LW: 84.6 kg - 186.5 lb - 30.7 ฮฮฮ (Feb5)
CW: 82.6 kg - 182.1 lb - 30.1 ฮฮฮ
Variance: -2.0 kg / -4.4 lb / -1.82% TBW in 26 days
OL: 95.2 kg - 209.9 lb - 34.5 BMI - 53.5% TBW in 659 days
Weight class projections:
Obese class II: Reached - 21.05.2021 - 401 days.
Obese class I: Reached - 25.09.2021 - 526 days.
Overweight: 0.1 kg - 0.2 lb - 1 day.
Goal (74.4kg): 8.2 kg - 18.1 lb - 59 days.
Got that close to the overweight category, but no cigar. Will have to wait for next week.
Also, given my body composition I have moved my immediate goal from 25 to 27 BMI. I would have to lose a lot of muscle to manage the original goal, so getting to 27 first and then assessing would be more prudent I think.
Onwards.6 -
Hey that is some pretty awesome results for a month you were sick.
Hopefully recovery was complete!1 -
Glad you are back and feeling better, Dante. And yeah - like PAV said - your numbers are extraordinary. Congrats!2

This week's stats - week 49

Down 0.6kg (1.3 lbs) for scale weight but only down 0.2kg (0.5 lbs) for trend weight. Still pleased though.3 -
Losing ounces steadily. That last 25 lbs. is coming off this year!2

Keep going, ABD. You are so into the groove I can feel it.
I'm going to join you with number sharing soon. My CW is going down - but I'm still having a hard time getting my head around how much higher it is now compared to a few months ago.
Maybe next week. Your examples give me a nudge every time.3 -
I've taken the momentous decision to switch to maintenance for at least the next six months. I've asked a lot of my body in the past 50 weeks, and I think it deserves a chance to consolidate and recuperate. I'll hold steady at this weight until September and then if I feel ready I'll push on to lose the 8lbs that separates me from a 'normal' BMI, and then the additional 14lbs required to reach my ultimate goal.
Wish me luck in maintenance! Today is the start of week 51, and in the past 50 weeks I've lost 72lbs (which equates to an average daily deficit of 720 calories per day). I've lost 34% of my starting body weight, and my trend graph looks like this:

Being math averse, I never calculated percentage. Iโve lost 33% of my starting weight. I surprised myself! An entire third of me is gone. ๐ฒ3
