    Oh right, it is Wednesday. Well, since I've not posted this anywhere previously, I'll start here.

    6/22- 155.1
    6/29- 152.3

    Still dropping faster than I'd like, even after pushing the kcals up to 1700 per day, and having a couple of notably higher days during food prep.

    6/29 - 152.3
    7/6 - 151.2

    Going to let it ride for one more week and adjust to slow down as needed.

    7/6 - 151.2
    7/13 - 151.9

    About what I was hoping to see this week, though well within a margin of error either way. Going to see how the trend runs over the next two months, making slight adjustments every couple of weeks.

    7/13 - 151.9
    7/20 - 151.5

    Getting pretty static, and I'm seeing about what I would expect. Going to hold this caloric level (1700) for another couple of weeks and see how it runs.

    7/20 - 151.5
    7/27 - 151.2

    Still running well within the expected range, and seeing extremely low variance during daily weigh-ins.

    7/27 - 151.2
    8/3 - 150.1

    Welp, time to average and adjust upward.

    8/3 - 150.1
    8/10 - 154.0

    Going from completely sedentary to lifting six times per week, and being more active outside of that than I have ever been, is definitely having a clear impact on weight fluctuation. Feels good though. Looking forward to seeing how the upward trend actually runs, now that I am running a surplus.

    8/10 - 154.0
    8/17 - 155.4

    Seen all manner of weight fluctuation over this past week, from a high of 158.4 (yesterday), to a low of 152.9. It doesn't surprise me, given the change from doing nothing, to lifting (or some form of resistance training) every day for the last week and a half or so. Already starting to notice a lot of musculature being brought back to life, from it's previously unused state. Going to run for another couple of weeks before I bother photo updating my bulk thread though.

    8/17 - 155.4
    8/24 - 158.5

    Continuing with the pretty rapid fluctuations and swings, though I am seeing a defined upward trend. Going for a couple of more weeks before tinkering with anything. Lifts are up, measurements are acceptable, and calipers haven't changed much. I'll take it, for now.

    8/24 - 158.5
    8/31 - 158.1

    Weight has started to stabilize a bit. I should be able to get a better grasp on things from here forward. Still going to mostly be watching the tape, calipers, and my emerging abdominals.

    8/31 - 158.1
    9/7 - 162.5

    Weight has stabilized at this exact point for the last few days, after a pretty strong falloff following my last refeed. This is likely the set point where I can finally start judging how intake is affecting weight, while also watching composition via tape and calipers.

    9/7- 162.5
    9/14- 167.5

    You never realize just how much water you put away, until a gallon only makes your shakes and PWOs for the day, and you still have a half-gallon of Coke Zero involved.

    SW for most recent high (Aug '15): 153.4
    SW for re-starting keto 9/2/16: 139
    CW: 134!
    Goal range for maintenance (barring unlikely muscle gain ;) ): 130-133
    I'm 5'7" but small-boned, little muscle, and prone to being "skinny-fat."

    185 this morning. Yes, I've gained some since the 183 I posted last time. But...ex-bf is STILL under my roof and I just don't have the energy to weigh/measure/log my food to track my carbs and calories. MOST of my choices are still low carb but there have been numerous evenings when two pieces of cinnamon/sugar toast has been consumed before bed. :( I'm still counting on him to be at least not living in my house by 10/1...although all of his stuff will probably still be there. I also like to drink beer!! LOL! I know, I know...not that great for low carb but I still figure if I can stay in the mid-180's I am successful. I've lost 50 pounds since last August following low-carb. I still walk 2.25 miles every morning which I feel allows me to maintain while not watching my food as closely as I need to in order to lose.

    Triplets! OK, fraternal triplets. ;)

    I spent most of my adult life yoyoing between 139 and 160. I was relatively happy but never quite content at 139. Just in the last few years I managed to get a bit below that and am really happy with it. Extra weight tends to go so disproportionately to my belly, those few extra lbs make a big difference in how easy it is to find clothes that fit well!
