Thanks a lot. When I use the strength entry I get about 200 calories, which sounds better I think. Thus thanks a lot. I wasn't aware of this entry. Note: I didn't really do a lot of breaks; about 15-20 seconds between sets just to catch my breath and get into position for the next one, and 3 minutes between the three…

@ContraryMaryMary Wow, nearly a sister, and I also probably gained over a similar period: stress at work, getting so used to certain things I should not eat too much of (crisps anyone?). My last week was a bit slower at -0.2. Pretty much on schedule. Have to see how this week works. I was at a music festival the last…

Ok, some update: last week was crazy as I lost weight every day, in total 800gr. I guess this is what some people call a whoosh as I had lots of visits to the loo :D Not sure if I'll regain lost water weight. This week seems to be a bit quieter and I'm currently hovering around the weight from the end of last week. So lets…

I know. And I eat none of those things other than beans and lentils, and they require cooking as they aren't available precooked here. Most of the other things are 'slimy' to me. Thus no, I don't eat dairy other than hard, very old cheese (but only with bread), no eggs, mushrooms, tofu or similar. I also don't eat green…

Unfortunately not, it feels too 'slimy'. I am a bit hypersensitive, you know. I'll eventually be fine with an additional slice of bread.

Oh, I manage (just about) the minimum protein amount. But I try to not eat too much meat for ethical reasons and don't like most plant-based protein. And those that I like require cooking or otherwise preparing. I just don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen as I need extensive relaxation time as a quickly…

Thanks for a bit of perspective! I have a bit of a seeing everything in black/white, but I know this and try to look for more moderate views. This is a fantastic answer for this. So thanks a lot <3

Yeah, you're probably right. I mean I expected to lose about 1kg per month, and I'm already further than that, which cuts quite a bit of time off this long-term project. I think I'll finish this week on a high and eat some more from next week. I might start with 150 or 200 more and see what happens. I don't think I could…

Hmm.. interesting. Maybe I should let this run for a bit longer, provided I'm not getting hungry or tired, or I suddenly become hyper - I'm hypothyroid and had my meds adjusted upwards a bit 10 weeks ago because I'd gained quite a bit weight and felt hypo. I'm all new to this and tried to answer all my questions online…

Not me as I take the pill long-term. The next break is still about 3 months away :D Hey, I feel empowered! :p But yeah, I certainly have weekly fluctuations due to sitting behind a computer.

Yeah, I've been wondering about that. I am sedentary, that's a fact. Water weight, that's probably the variation throughout the week, right? Each week starts at Monday where my weight tends to be fairly low, then rises until Saturday morning (computer job), and then drops again. Unless I was running, which you can actually…

That's my own. I have a much more complex spreadsheet and only made those plots for this website. I'm using averaging, some statistics, etc. So yes, I'm aware that my maintenance calories are likely quite a bit higher than estimated.

Yes, you're probably right. That's actually quite interesting as eating 250cal more bumps me up to what calculators say for maintenance... and that I must have eaten a shitload more than that to gain weight in the first place :o

Thanks a lot. Yes, I'm very sedentary. I can stare at a computer until my huge tea mug is empty, then I get new tea and stare on. On a typical day at the office I get about 1000 steps, and the evening doesn't look better unless I need to do groceries or go running. Yes, those 1600 are without sports, which I try to…
