Next step in lossing

In September I started my journey in getting healthy. It is a long process. By the end of November I lost 23 lbs. I decided at that point to stop lossing and just maintain that weigh. I ended at 171. With a goal I could only gain 2 lbs, no more than that.
I have been able to do that. So today I have decided it is time to start trying to loss again. My goal is to loss another
10-20 pounds.

    I like to watch the stock market news. Always have. Don’t know why. I don’t have money in it.

    But they talk about trends a lot. An appreciation of trends is helpful in weight loss. Sometimes they talk about markets being in periods of consolidation. It’s like the trend needs a rest.

    In weight loss I was stuck a long time at about 220lbs. But I was there so long that 220 became the new normal. A lot better than SW of 285 lbs.

    I think you’re doing the smart thing. And when we start from far away, it’s hard to figure a GW. Go for the 10lbs and reassess. You may be surprised where you end up. I sure was.

    Sounds like you are taking it slow and steady, with diet breaks worked in. Well done!

    It is odd and refreshing to see a post from someone who is actually sensible about their fitness journey. Most of us want results yesterday, whine about it, toil over the entire thing and live in a state of constant angst.
    ..and here you are doing the sensible thing that I'm sure will end with a great result.

    Congrats on dropping to 167.6. I'm starting week one and know it will be slow. I don't even want to look at the scale until I can sense progress.

    My last post I stated that my CW was 266.
    That is a mistake I meant CW 166.

    On Friday I was getting ready for the day.
    I put on an old shirt that I was no it able to wear in a long time. I was shocked how good it looked on me .

    I’m getting close to my end on the phase that I work really hard to lose. I’m CW162.6
    So not bad.
    Then I will work on maintaining this weight for 4 months.
    After that I will decide if I need to work at it again.
