    Good Morning

    My why
    I am playing a game with myself & setting little daily goals of losing 0.35lbs per day and using those goals to help me stay motivated and on track is a way of fasting that I saw in another group. Using my bathroom scale as a weight loss tool works for me. There are days that my weight increases by 2 pounds or more, and I understand that this is mainly water weight, and can go away as quickly as it came. That is why there are times that my daily goal and my weight that day are pounds apart. I am not expecting to lose 2 pounds of body fat by the next day. But it is possible to lose 2 pounds of water weight by the next day, so I stick to my goals. If it takes longer than one day to lose that water weight, I extend my fast for another day. Sticking to my plan, I will reach my 1st goal weight of 172 pounds on September 16 2023. This will put me in the overweight weight range which I have not seen since 2007. At that point I will decrease the daily amount to 0.2lbs per day to get to my ultimate goal of 140 by my birthday in February. I also have a cruise booked for my birthday & one of the tours offers a mini photoshoot. What a great opportunity to be at my goal & get semi professional pictures on the beach!
    I did an extended fast on April 9th that lasted almost 9 days. That got me back on track after Easter.


    Round 218 SW 232.4 EW 231lbs (-1.4)
    Round 219 EW 229lbs (-2)

    Round 220 220.2lbs (-8.8) (Extended fast)

    5/12 Goal 215.4/Actual 216.8
    Not quite sure why I popped back up. Probably just normal body fluctuations or maybe because I snacked on yogurt a little late yesterday. I probably shouldn’t have had that snack but I couldn’t seem to stop myself. I will fast most of the day today & have supper when I get home. I will concentrate on drinking water as well because I have hardly been drinking any this week. I look forward to meal prepping this weekend so that I do not have to think about meals next week when I am busy at work.
    5/13 Goal 215.1/Actual 217.2
    Well, this is a little frustrating. I had a bowl of cereal last night & for some reason TMI is becoming a problem. I know that my calories are low so this just has to be my body being stubborn & it will pop right back down. I guess I will be fasting next week because I am not comfortable being 2lbs off my target. I feel on track when I am within 1lb so just just eating low calories or one meal a day is fine but over 2 lbs is a slippery slope. I am working full time, not sleeping enough & certainly not drinking enough water. I plan to cook ahead today. A yummy chicken Thai stir fry with cauliflower rice & a Philly cheesesteak skillet & some taco meat for taco salads. If I decide not to fast I will have quick portions to eat. I guess I may freeze them if I do end up fasting.

    Help from keto/low carb folks:
    ==> How much do you bloat back when you re-introduce carbs back in?


    I'm currently on low carbs,
    which helps with cravings and hunger, so I'm slowly losing weight.

    I'm arriving to LA on 6/13T.
    The family graduation celebration party is on 6/17S, and
    6/18Sunday is Father’s Day big family gathering.

    Between 6/13T and 6/16F, I will be adding carbs back in (eating “regular” food/drinks).
    ==> How bloated will I be on 6/17S? How much weight will I pack back on?


    Thanks.
