    I didn't realize until a few minutes ago that I'm more than 50 lbs down from my heaviest weight (January 2015). When I see 190 again, my weight will be lower than it's been since high school. Life is working, and I'm just going to take another moment to thank everyone here for everything. This place has allowed me to sit with whatever it is that's been bothering me. It's given me space to really examine how I've been living my life, especially the pattern(s) that have been derailing me from previous success. I feel so much more prepared to deal with life than I was a few months ago, and this group has everything to do with that. I'm blessed to have you in my life, and I love each and every one of you.

    Age: 46
    Height 5’11”
    Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
    Recent SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
    Ultimate GW: 189.8 lbs (and then reevaluate)

    R28 SW = 220.0 EW = 219.8 (-0.2) AW = 220.2 (+0.2)
    R29 SW = 219.8 EW = 214.0 (-5.8) AW = 215.9 (-4.3)
    R30 SW = 214.0 EW = 214.0 (-0.0) AW = 214.1 (-1.8)
    R31 SW = 214.0 EW = 209.2 (-4.8) AW = 211.3 (-2.8)
    R32 SW = 209.2 EW = 209.6 (+0.4) AW = 208.9 (-2.4)
    R33 SW = 209.6 EW = 207.4 (-2.2) AW = 208.2 (-0.7)
    R34 SW = 207.4 EW = 206.6 (-0.8) AW = 206.6 (-1.6)
    R35 SW = 206.6 EW = 204.2 (-2.4) AW = 204.1 (-2.5)
    R36 SW = 204.1 EW = 207.4 (+3.3) AW = 203.9 (-0.2)
    R37 SW = 207.4 EW = 202.0 (-5.4) AW = 203.5 (-0.4)
    R38 SW = 202.0 EW = 196.8 (-5.2) AW = 197.1 (-6.4)
    R39 SW = 196.8 EW = 194.2 (-2.6) AW = 195.8 (-1.3)

    Total loss (since 1/14/18, but before this round): 25.8 lbs
    Average weight loss per round: 2.28 lbs

    R40 SW = 194.2
    Goal for this round: 193.0

    Day/Weight/Comment

    5/8 = 194.0 (-0 2). I finally went shopping on Sunday night, and I actually food prepped last night. I made a sausage and pepper soup (delicious) and a bacon frittata (also delicious). Tonight I'm getting some new cookware that I need in order to finish my food prep: a chicken casserole thingy. Lots of work getting it done, but it felt good. And it's great not having to stress about where I'm getting my next meal. And it tastes good!!! 4 more days until I can resume basketball/lifting weights, but I might cheat a couple of days early and play Thursday.

    5/9 = 194.2 (+0.2). I stayed "on plan" last night, but impulsively had another serving of dinner. And then a little bit of dark chocolate. I was on-target with carbs, but over everywhere else. Snacked a bit to much during the day, which left me with very little wiggle room at the end of the night. I really wasn't hungry; it was impulsive. Moment noted. I'm not going to dwell. My tattoo is looking/feeling pretty healed. I'm going to take a pic of it, send it to my artist, and ask for permission to play basketball tomorrow. Focusing on avoiding snacking when I'm not hungry today.

    5/10 = 193.6 (-0.6). A tiny WHOOSH™. I literally overate slightly last night, so there's no other explanation. Overeating slightly is eating my prepared food, and then my wife comes home and says she wants tacos (which includes fresh chips and guac) from a local place. I get a skirt steak burrito with no refried beans and extra steak. I throw away the tortilla, throw some guac on top, and that was my snack. I also had lunch out for my friend's birthday, and had a salad with tuna salad, avocado, and Caesar dressing. Everything I ate for the day was Keto-friendly. It is getting easier. It really feels like I can do this long-term. I'm playing basketball tonight!!! And lifting weights.

    5/11 = 192.6 (-1.0). A regular ole' WHOOSH­™. I don't understand it, but I'll take it. I drove about 30 minutes to play basketball last night after lifting weights, and the high school I play at apparently decided to setup the gym with tables and chairs for something, so no basketball last night. Infuriating. I was out in the field for work yesterday and decided to stop at Panda Express for lunch. I made the mistake of not checking carbs before eating my food; I now know that Teriyaki Chicken (with no sauce) has 11 carbs, and whatever the Steak option is has 16 carbs. I probably ingested less carbs than that; I didn't eat all the vegetables in my steak dish (only the ones I know are Keto-friendly), and I pretty much ignored my vegetable side. It was an important lesson, though; trust no one! Plus, if I'm being honest, I did some math in my head when I was ordering, and I probably should have figured it out. I knew total calories, I knew protein content, and I could have probably extrapolated the fat/carb macros. Not to mention I could have just plugged everything in to one of my handy dandy apps that does all that crap for me automatically. Anyhoo... I ate great the rest of the day (ended up with 36 net carbs), so the damage was minimized, but YEAH. And somehow I still dropped a pound. On a side note, my wife is getting jealous at my continued weight loss. I'm trying not to influence her directly in any way (which is unusual for me), but I think she's coming around to it on her own.

    5/10 500.8- I think I am being a bit too hard on myself while wishing I had lost more than just a pound. I did so good yesterday and I am proud of myself for that. Let's do great again today!

    I think you have a great point here. You're definitely being too hard on yourself.

    At some point in your experience you might even enjoy a day when your weight stays the same (when you didn't expect that to happen). You've embarked on a journey, and you're doing great. Enjoy your "streaks" (like this one) when you lose weight every day for a bunch of days in a row. Pay attention to plateaus (or unpleasant surprises in the other direction), and recognize them as opportunities to reflect on what you've been doing, to identify potential issues that might be holding you back, so that you can keep moving forward.

    This is going to be a long journey. We're with you. Being here and staying accountable EVERY DAY has been life-changing for me. I hope it will be for you, too.

    This is my first round. I Started dieting last may lost 22 kg before desember. Then I stopped logging. Didnt gain before easter. And then I guess I just thought hey I have masterd this I can just eat without thinking because now I know what is enough. But I guess I was thinking more about what I was eating before easter because 5 kg jumped on so I am back to logging.
    SW 92
    Sw round 40 :73.2 kg
    Gw round 40:71.2kg

    @gmiller725 How are you liking T25?

    @amfmmama I love it! I have always been a fan of Shaun T and his workouts. T25 is a super quick workout and has a person doing modifications the whole time which is good for beginners and when you need a break. I have the on-demand subscription so I just go to the website and press play. Netflix for fitness!
