SW: 234 GW:138-143 EW Round 224: 196 EW Round 226: 193.2 I am coming off a 10-day maintenance round. I’m experimenting with a cycle of doing 10 days at a deficit followed by 10 days at or just above maintenance. Repeat. It’s partly inspired by the MATADOR study but mostly is just my way of making this process sustainable.…

The VO2 max feature on my Garmin is reading my fitness age as 12 years younger than I am. This is so wonderful and incredible to me because I had Long Covid and just six months ago, my fitness age was reading 5 years older than I am. One of my non-scale goals is to reduce my fitness age as much as possible.

Thank you so much for this challenge. I'll be joining this round. You all impress me and right now I need the accountability.

Well, I got down to 188 (a 10-pound loss during this challenge) and then decided to "maintain." Unless maintenance makes my pants tighter, I haven't maintained. ;) I am back to my weight loss plan now and will weigh myself on January 1. It won't be pretty, I'm sure. But I'm not going to give up. Sometimes in weight loss, I…

My current mini-goal is 184. It's 4.6 pounds away and would be 50 pounds down. Once I get there, I'll likely take a maintenance break until after the holidays.

There are quite a few Christmas goal deadlines going, so that's understandable. I lost 40 pounds in less than six months, so I encourage anyone who wants to try it to try it. Everyone is different, of course, but regardless it's good to have goals to work towards. Even if you fall a bit short, it's still a win. At least…
