I got a new fitbit scale which bumped me back into the 250s as soon as I used it. Maybe my old scale wasn't accurate? Anyway, back to fighting to get back into the 240s so no recorded weight loss this week.0 -

The scale hasn't really moved in a while, if anything it has gone up a bit. But, I know it's a lying liar so I'm not worrying. I know my belly is shrinking and I'm focusing on NSV's like clearer skin, no hypoglycemia, increased energy, and less abdominal discomfort. I know the weight will come off eventually. Even if it doesn't I'll keep eating this way to keep away the diabeetus.8 -
Start of LC diet (Oct 1): 143lbs
Start of keto (Oct 13): 139.8lbs
Today: 137.4lbs
GW: 130lbs (128-132 range)
Whoa! LC, particularly keto, is very powerfully successful for me! Why, oh why, did I stubbornly hold on to the low fat, low sodium, high carb dogma for so long? THIS WOE is right for me!
Even though I've been getting 4-5g daily sodium, I've shed sooooo much bloating, inflammation, and water weight (seriously, my belly, feet, and ankles were so chronically swollen--that water had to GO).
On my previous WOE, just one 3g+ sodium day was enough to make me puff up for a week (so painful).9 -

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.
9/14 - 167.5
9/21 - 168.7
Had to make some adjustments, and temper the intake. Putting in way more fat than I am comfortable with, given the rate of muscular accumulation.
9/21 - 168.7
9/28 - 170.6
9/28 - 170.6
10/5 - 170.0
10/5 - 170.0
10/12 - 171.1
I'm honestly shocked that it's only that much higher, given that I pushed my refeed back by two days this week. Usually takes at least five days for all of the pickup from that to go away.

My fitbit scale regularly shows me +2 lbs from my other scale (which is just a $10 wal mart special). Stupid fitbit scale! I do like that it records my weight into my online profile so I don't have to worry about it!
This morning's weigh in:

I went on a vacation Oct 8-18 and tried to be good but there were definitely carbs and alcohol. I'm happy to be back to losing again.

CW: 209 (20lbs in 8 weeks).
What I'm most pumped about is my reverse diet worked in restoring my metabolism...I've lost this 20lbs eating 2600-2700 cals per day whereas in the past I would have had to be down under 2200.6 -

This is my 100th day of this diet. Longest I have ever been on a diet since my Diet Centre days when I paid a lot of money for a daily weigh in (I gained it all back & a 100 more pounds). I had quite high carbs this last week but stopped drinking Coke Zero so that might have helped a bit. I am HAPPY \0/6 -
Wow BaconSan that's a great loss!0

All aboard the struggle bus.. up 2 this week, lol. I'm still bouncing around the same few lbs. I did see 249 on the 21st and 22nd then boom right back up again after wing night, even picking the carb friendly wings. I seem to do really well on Thurs/Fri then it goes back up on Sat/Sun. Maybe I've been eating too many sugar free things on the weekend? New goal is to cut those out of my coffee and water, and really limiting them everywhere else.1 -

Thanks. It took 44 years to figure that out but it'll make the next 44 more fun 1 -
Still down for the count with a cold.
Logging...yes
Weighing...not really
Activity....reaching for kleenex and cough drops.
I read in one of the threads to just focus on what actually goes in your mouth. That is the most important thing.
I think I allowed the monitoring activities to minimize the real goal. So, just keeping an eye on what goes in my mouth for now.1 -

Dat dere RFL. Think I'll end the cut as soon as I break back into the 150s, and the waist hits 32. That's clearly going to happen before my planned six week run is up, at this rate (I'm only halfway through week three).4
