    Starting Weight: 184 lbs (29-01-13)
    Current Weight: 10/1: 144.4
    Goal Weight: 130-140 lbs
    I'm refocusing on a BF% of less than 30 and a waist that's less than 30 (currently BF at 31.4% )

    Goal Weight for October: 142 lbs. I know . . . it's a lose 5 lb. group - but this is a warm, supportive group and so it's OK that I'm aiming for 2.5 lbs.

    Weigh In Days: Saturday
    10/1: 144.4
    10/5: 143.8 - BF 31.2%

    Nonononono =( ok I give the TDEE -20% one more week before switching back to a lower cal intake (around 1300) because it's really hard for me to eat that much cal and it doesn't seem to help me since I do not lose weight, feel bloated and think more about binges...

    ^^^ this is not a typical weight loss for me. i had some longer workouts this week because a friend was coming in to town for the weekend. i knew we were going out to eat and drinks so i worked for it. i didn't want to have to worry about what i chose to eat.

    It is October 7, but I think I want to start today. I'm not sure how to bring up the format I see others using for weight & weigh in days. I haven't been able to stick to a diet for more than a week in a long time. Not sure why.
