    November 15: away on vacation
    November 23: 146.8, down 2.4lbs after coming back from a very indulgent eating vacation. As always, my weight follows a 2 week lag pattern, it always reflects what I did 2 weeks before. But also, I did IF (OMAD) on the trip and stuffed my face with seafood because I was by the ocean, so not a bad way to indulge.

    Challenge Weight loss goal: 4.6lbs

    I have been doing IF for 6-8 weeks now, and in that time have had not one but two very indulgent eating vacations. One in the land of cheese the other in the land of lobster.

    My metabolism and weight loss had been stalled for over a year, but I have so much more energy now.

    I've settled on mostly alternate day fasting, which I really like, and my system seems to respond well to. So I'll eat one day however I please, fast the next, eat the next, and so on.

    I wouldn't do it if it wasn't easy, but I can see maintaining this indefinitely. I'm very pleased.

    Hi, I am in for another cycle. Thanks for starting this again.

    STARTING WEIGHT/DATE WITH MFP: about 175 on 8/19/12 (been here a long time, lol, but kinda off & on)
    Lost about 25 pounds, then pretty much maintaining, up a little, down a little, but would like to lose another 15 or so.
    Ended last challenge at end of Aug. at 151.94# & didn't weigh for the month of Sept. I felt like daily weighing was getting to me, so tried not weighing for a month. Seemed to pretty much maintain, but now I am ready to get to a healthy weight.

    Challenge starting weight: 152.07
    I weigh every day & average them on Monday, so my numbers are the weekly average.
    My goal for this cycle will be 5# (I amended this a bit, as I felt I was being too aggressive)
    Oct. 4= 152.07
    Oct. 11= 151.4
    Oct. 18= DNW at dd's house & no scale
    Oct. 25= 152.56

    Oct. loss= +.49
    Oct. average weight= 152.01

    Nov. 1= 150.75
    Nov. 8= 152.84
    Nov 15= 150.77
    Nov 22= 150.43

    Highest Weight: 262
    Starting weight with MFP: 260 lbs (morbidly obese) Oct 22, 2021

    YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE: 257 lbs
    YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 242 lbs (-15 lbs in 2 months)

    Current challenge weight: 251.4 lbs (-5.6 lbs)
    Weekly weight loss/gain: -1 lbs
    Total weight lost from highest: -10.6 lbs

    Joining the challenge a bit late (just joined MFP)
    Official weigh day for me is Saturdays

    October 30: 252.8 lbs
    November 6: ??? No firm conclusion, probably gained.
    November 13: 252.4 lbs
    November 20: 251.4 lbs
    November 27: 252.2 lbs (I actually saw 250 on the scale but it was days before 27th, even made my goal of exercising 5 hours total this week. But my body had the last laugh apparently. Going to try a fasting diet next week to scare my body into submission. Hungry is healthy for me, full is gaining weight. dang it. On the bright side, I actually had energy in the evening once or twice, which is very unusual for me.)

    November Goal: 249 lbs (Milestone marker; top lb bracket of 'obese BMI' for me; no longer morbidly obese)
    November Actual: 252.2 lbs
    November Loss: -0.6 lbs :cry:

    What I've learned so far:
    - exercise in the evening after eating has less impact than exercise in the morning before eating, regardless of same caloric intake

    Just a suggestion: Take a look at your macronutrient balance. Are you avoiding simple carbohydrates? Are you getting enough protein? Try losing just 1/2 pound per week; that's only 250 calories per day less than maintenance. Give yourself a reward once a week, if you've met that week's goal. That can help you tough it out, having that to look forward to.

    • October 4: 224
    • October 11: 222.2 (-1.8)
    • October 18: 217.2 (-5.0): Nothing really changed this week. Think the whoosh was some water weight from PMS.

    October Actual: 214.4 (woo hoo - beat my goal!)

    • November 1: 210.6 (-3.8) Stressful week. Going through some personal stuff. I'm trying to focus on eating more.
    • November 8: 209.2 (-1.4) Another stressful week. Not sleeping very well and struggling to eat up to my BMR. 
    • November 15: 207.2 (-2) That's a relief! I expected a gain or at least to stall. Feeling stronger this week. Added in a 3rd weight training session to deal with the stress and trying to get to bed earlier.
    • November 22: 206.4 (-.8) Had a lot of social activities last week. Looks like I need to learn to regulate what I'm eating and drinking a bit better!
    • November 29: 202.6 (-3.8) Been sick since last Friday. Haven't been able to workout, but also not much of an appetite. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss the gym!
