Better direction, but sick of fighting these same ten pounds. Really ready to move on the the next.3 -
Less loss to record this time. I believe the difference is mostly due to hormonal water weight, but a small bit of the difference is likely due to changing my movement (the setbacks mentioned last week). Next week's number should be telling in that regard.
2.5 pounds down for the week, 9.7 so far for the challenge period.

Challenge End Weight Goal- 199 lbs or lower
Total weight loss goal by Christmas- 24.5-31.5 lbs for the challenge period4 -
Challenge starting weight- 259
10/23- 258.7
10/30- 252.9 - I would assume that has to be some water weight drop because the weekend prior to the 23rd wasn't my greatest showing of self control around margaritas lol, probably realistically closer to 3lbs. My average has been 2-3lbs a week so that would make more sense. Total loss from challenge start to date - 5.8lbs
11/6- 248.6 - Moving along. Had a decent week with a ton of physical activity in construction projects, house work, etc so made a huge stride. Total loss from challenge start to date - 10.1lbs
11/13- 244.3 - Haven’t taken an off day from my workouts here lately, going to have to do that today. The newly added pull up negatives have my shoulders starting to feel it. Weight loss is still more than I expect per week but I haven’t really been eating into my burn off amount and sticking to staying under my baseline 2lb a week numbers. I’ve also been doing a lot of construction (building my wife a greenhouse) and starting to work my falconry bird. It’s clearly paying off. Thankfully I don’t see any muscle loss (in fact it's been the opposite) but that’s definitely due to the constant addition of strength training exercises. Total loss from challenge start to date - 14.4lbs

I crossed the "20 pounds lost" mark this past week, so that was a nice milestone. Only 6.3 pounds to go to reach a "normal" BMI and 8.6 pounds to go to reach my goal of losing 30 pounds this year...

I figured I'd share this in case it's helpful for anyone else to see, especially folks who weigh in once per week.
The graph below shows my weight each morning since the start of this challenge. My diet has been consistent throughout. No single number is worth dwelling on because they are all over the place. The downward trend is good, but it takes a few weeks to see.
The one thing that is different for me this time versus previous times when I have tried to lose weight is that I really am being patient and trusting the process. If I stick with the right behaviors, I know it will eventually reflect on the scale. For me, I've learned through trial and error that if I stick it out for 8 weeks, the numbers will settle out where I want them. That used to feel like forever, but it has gotten easier as I've seen that it works.

Happy Wednesday everyone! I increased my protein intake this week. Heading to Las Vegas for a conference then to San Diego for a couple of days. My goal when away is to be conscious of my food choices, walk, use the hotel gym and not be overwhelmed by all the stimuli around me.
