    Out of curiosity, and given it is something many, if not most of us, are concerned with, was there a distinct change between the time where you were maintaining your loss and when you started the incremental regain?

    Here are my figures for the week:

    Start Weight (17th March 2021): 96.0kg - BMI 40.0 (obese cat 3)
    Last week: 76.6kg - BMI 31.9 (obese cat 1)
    This week: 76.2kg - BMI 31.7 (obese cat 1)

    Garfield now needs to float around this weight for the next 2 weeks while I'm on my deficit break....

    CW: 176.2 - 24.9 ΒΜΙ (overweight)
    Variance: +6 lb / +3.5% TBW

    I feel ya Laurie. My scale was up 5-lbs from my weekend of poor eating. By the calories, there shouldn’t have been any added weight. Water weight FTW! 😂

    @aishmartin, welcome! We're practically on the same journey! I'm also 1.55m and my SW back in March was 96.0kg. I'm now hovering around 76kg (currently on a short deficit break because I hit the 6 month anniversary of starting this journey). My ultimate goal is 55-60kg because I'm quite small-framed underneath all my fat! When I get closer to goal I may decide that's too low and settle around 60-65kg instead...I'll play it by ear.

    Welcome to Larger Losers. I've only been here a short while but I've been made to feel so welcome, and the folks are lovely, supportive, wise and kind (though all as mad as a box of frogs!).

    Hello, @aishmartin!

    I am one of those boxed frogs :)

    You made it here (back to MFP) and that is a major step. You can do this.

    Welcome to the frogbox!

    That's awesome! Can I friend you? Good on you for losing so much already! I've always had kind of a "sturdy" frame even though I'm so short. I grew up in Southeast Asia and everyone around me always thought I was fat even when I was 110 lbs (49.9 kg) because I wasn't stick-skinny like them. It's a little easier for me here in the States where bigger is "normal" and people aren't going to tell you every day that you're "fat" or "so big" and that you'll die if you don't lose weight quickly (every single day when I lived in Asia - Argh!).

    Friend me, everyone, if you're up to having another friend :)


    Hi Frog Box!!! :D;)

    As long as no one believes their mother when she tells them that she has a special hot dog for them to try in Italy... and then asks them whether they enjoyed their frog legs! :rage: I'm keeping my legs to myself, thank you!

    This week: 76.6kg - BMI 31.9 (obese cat 1)

    8 days of eating maintenance calories and water retention from my run in with a venomous little bug(ger) has led to a gain of 0.4kg. I'm happy with that, even if I do feel a bit like this at the moment due to sting-related oedema.
