I'm here! Day 1 of year 2 and day 7 of maintenance. I'm eating around 1950 calories a day, which means I'm running a buffer deficit of only about 50-75-100 calories a day (if my TDEE calcs are accurate). I'll hold the calories at this level until the end of March and then take stock, to see if I have to drop the calories a little to maintain this weight. If I'm still losing I'll nudge the calories upwards instead.
So far so good...7 days at 1950 and my weight has been hovering between 63.4 and 63.8, which was the plan!5 -
Good work everyone!
I'm still trying to figure out my weight loss challenges 🙂
I'm thinking I maybe dropped my goal too low last year. And for sure I'm having unrealistic expectations now... And my ridiculously sensitive number awareness is causing trouble...so... I'm going to try changing v things up by and switching to metric 🙂
My new goal is 75kg (nice number)
My new height is 175 cm (another nice number)
Monday morning I will switch my scale settings and find my new current weight. (Waiting till then to dislodge some of this March Break nonsense).
And then I will start anew.
I know this might sound absurd... But such is life!

Not absurd - psychologically it can be helpful to switch things up.
You're less familiar with metric weights, so you won't be so obsessive about them. Plus there's less temptation to weigh in tenths of a pound (which, when you think about it, is the thing that's completely absurd). A tenth of a pound is only 1.6oz - who needs to be that precise about their weight? My scale measures metric in 0.2kg increments, and pounds or stones/pounds in 0.5lb increments. That's precise enough for me.
Personally I'm trilingual - I know my weight in metric, stones/pounds, and pounds...but metric is my favoured measurement.2 -
Thank you for the vote of confidence, Bella.
Fell asleep too early and woke up in the middle of the night and I'm still up and just ate the leftover single veggie dog on a white bun and I was thinking how little fiber was involved in that meal and was thinking of you.
By the time we figure everything out about our bodies we will probably be done with them and ready to move on to whatever comes next.
I look forward to your updates. It's so exciting to follow people challenging themselves and some pretty deeply ingrained ideas of what and how we should eat.2 -

When everything else has failed we either give up completely or we challenge the deeply ingrained beliefs. Sometimes you just gotta poke the sacred cow to check that it really moos rather than quacks.
Just because something is widely believed to be true, doesn't mean it IS true...or at least, it doesn't mean it's true for everyone.2 -

The Boy would say that if you poke a cow it will poop. Poop occupies a significant role in at least half of his conversations. We make up endless songs about "it."
I hope that means if you poke the cow enough things will work out ...🙂2 -

Ladies and gentlemen, we got 'em!
Twas high time I passed that obese mark, between getting Covid and some weird water retention bouts this eluded me for more than a month.
No more!

Weight class projections:

This took more than 700 days, cannot really complain though...in a way I feel that time has passed a lot faster than I thought.
Onwards!

Yay Dante, awesome! Your patience has paid off and you're starting to reap the rewards! Just think - you already have 700 days of experience under your belt, which will be invaluable when it comes to maintenance!5
-
I am positively gobsmacked by Dante’s ongoing transformation and success. The consistency and dedication! Makes me embarrassed at being stuck with 25 lbs to go.
My numbers don’t change - but I need to work harder and try some new strategies.4 -
So today is day 9 of maintenance, and so far so good....
9 days at around 1,950 and my weight has been hovering between 63.4kg and 63.8kg, which remains the plan. No scale uptick yet from the greater proportion of refined carbs which are an unfortunate side effect of my lower-fibre experiment, but then this is only day 3 of the lower-fibre experiment, so it may take a while to impact the scale. So far I LOVE maintenance - I feel as though I have tons of calories, and it makes meal-planning so much easier!
The plan is still to have at least 3 months at maintenance (probably 6 months) before pushing on to lose the remaining 3.4kg that separate me from a 'normal' BMI...and then perhaps pushing on a little more to lose a further 6kg. But I ain't in any rush!6 -
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!!!!!!
Dante, your numbers are staggering.
