Excatly, it doesn't really matter but was just curious if it was. I mean when I was 73 pounds heavier I technically fasted every few minutes for a few minutes and then right back to eating. :D

I couldn't eat all my calories if I tried which is weird because I used to go WAY over without thinking about it. Now that I have trained myself and do think about it there no way I come near my allotted calories.

Yeah I'm sorry guess for the negativity. Just a little annoyed by the scale this morning. These last 15 are just stubborn as hell. I knew it was gonna be a pain but I didn't think it was gonna be this much of a pain in the butt. Again sorry for the negativity and thanks for the replies.

Yeah fluctuations I get that but I thought there 204s were over. Between 200 and 203 but I guess seeing 204 I did not like. You are right though, it's all good. See what tomorrow brings.

Now today's weigh in really pissed me off! Really, really pissed me off! I ate right yesterday, I know I did and at work did a ton of calorie burning. I walked miles yesterday and today I was 204.2 which I have not seen on the scale in months. I am extremely pissed off this morning, extremely! That number really pissed me…

Yeah I'm pretty happy with how I look, WAY happier than when I was 74 pounds heavier. 😁 I love putting on jeans that fit and look good. It's a whole different world. I really do want this last 10-15 pounds off. Want to be 185-190 which is roughly 10-15 pounds more. I guess this last bit could take a year. 😭 I just have a…

I'm just about 100% sure I'm in a calorie deficit. I have an extremely active job and I'm not quite as disciplined as I was when I need to lose 80 pounds but I'm not way way off. No way am I near any kind of calorie count that I'd be gaining any weight. Thanks for the replies. These last 10-15 are just gonna be a pain in…

Yes, that is a PERFECT way to describe it. Just ride it out and it will go away. Also maybe I felt "really hungry" this morning because I had pizza last night. We had Sicilian pizza which is a lot of carbs. Maybe there is a correlation to what you ate the day before? Interesting, thanks guys.

Yes, it wasn't a laughing at or make fun of situation. It was a feel bad and understand kinda thing.

It's funny now that I have lost most of the weight I when I look back at basically everyone I met or saw at that time as embarrassment. Everyone I basically saw at any time, saw me and most likely judged me as "a fat guy". That could just be in my mind but most people judge by what you see. Most of us do it. I was an event…

In mixed cinnamon in today actually with the banana. It was delicious.

I'm definitely going up try some peanut butter in my oatmeal this weekend. That will be my weekend variation of Oatmeal. Maybe oatmeal and banana both.

Oh an actually I was still 5 over my protein for the day so I didn't fall behind on protein.

I'm gonna stick with the Oatmeal and banana for now and down the line experiment a bit. I had a great day of not being hungry or anything so its been the same or maybe better actually. I have flavored Quaker Oats Oatmeal too in the little bags. 160 calories in one bag. I'm gonna use those too sometimes. Thanks for the…

Well I really just started today, actually Saturday but today is the true switch in my mind and I'm not hungry at all. No difference between the yogurt and Oatmeal. I use water to cook it or heat it up. I don't want the extra calories at all from any type of milk. I use Kirkland unsweetened almond milk organic when I do…

Yes, that's the first thing I thought of is I'm losing a good bit of protein. I do get a lot of protein everything but I'm still losing a bit with this move. Thanks for the advice.

Too expensive, I like the Kirkland protein bars. Tasty, great price and great macros.

Yes you are correct and I love now that when I'm at an event where it centers around food I refuse and have the ability to say no to eating just for the sake of eating. I do not care if people talk about me either, I refuse to eat unless I want to or need to. I will not have meals just because. I don't eat after 8 O'clock…

Awesome that you lost the weight and that is a lot of weight, you should be proud of yourself because that is no easy task.

Have you now lose the weight?

I understand completely. I am also VERY grateful to not be what I was. The thoughts and memories I hope and think will keep ,e from being that again.

Definitely had some eat at or close to maintenance days at times, mostly on weekends.

I'm 5.7 about 200 pounds now, down from 272. 190 is the goal because I was there once and liked it, plus BMI is under obese. It's a totally different day today. No idea what was going on yesterday but I was starving all day. Opposite today, all under control.

No, but I did your morning. I had Oatmeal and I measured the milk.

And today it's totally different and better. Thank goodness for that. Yesterday from the minute I woke up I was starving till the time I went to bed I was starving. This morning woke up as normal and had Oatmeal which is very different for me. I usually eat Skyre or Yogurt. I'm rededicating myself now to lose this last…

I wish that were true. I've been waiting on a woosh for 6 months. Thanks

The thing is I have been trying to lose this last 10-15 pounds for 6 months and getting really, really annoyed. I mean really annoyed. I've been bouncing around between 199 and 204 for 6-8 months when I want to be 190-185. I really don't know what to do here?

Quest, the protein bar company makes a high protein pizza if that is what you are looking for.

6 months and not sure if its doing anything is a bit disconcerting. Thanks for the info.

Yeah we can only go by what we are doing on the stationary bike and what it says. I mean some people get a little too literal about things.
