There are so many factors when it comes to loose skin that there is not really a simple answer. Generally, loose skin will continue to tighten up for about 2 years once your weight stabilizes. It is debatable if weight training will tighten it more or faster.

If I did that I would never eat. I fast all day, and don't get home from work until 5:30 or so. By the time food is made it is usually 6:30 to 7PM. Eating that way I lost the 100 pounds I needed to, and continue to maintain. The only relevance is if eating later negatively affects your sleep.

If you want to be really frustrated, in Canada there are a whole bunch of foods that are not liquids but the serving sizes are only given in milliliters or cups. Things like canned fruits and veggies, ice cream, and the like are all serving sizes in volume measurements. It drives me crazy.

I will say what I have said numerous times. Those two days are not the issue. Assuming you can get back to eating low-carb, keto, etc the day after Christmas, eating freely for Christmas Eve/Day, while it will cause some short-term gain of weight, for you to gain fat you would need to eat far more than you likely would.…

We had a fellowship dinner at our church last night. It was a splurge meal for me, and I ate heartily of all the food there. Weight wise, it put me up about a pound and a half, likely all water weight. Ketosis wise, I was knocked out of ketosis according to my breath meter. Now to see how long it will take to get back into…

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American Lo-carbers. Just a normal day here in Canada.

AnnP basically wrote what I was going to write. As a Canadian who lives near the US border, I am frequently surprised by the nutritional information differences in products that are sold in both countries. Add that this database covers basically the world, and yes, there will be differences in products even from the same…

Finished the Legs workout of my new Push, Pull, Legs workout program this morning. I am likely retaining a fair amount of water right now as I have a noticable DOMS. Ah, the joys of switching programs. Overall I like the new program. Lighter weights, more reps makes for a big change from doing 3-5 reps for 3 sets of heavy…

Great goal. You can do it.

The only reason your food would be going to fat is that you are eating too much. Fat doesn't turn into fat just because you happen to eat it. It, like other macros will be used to meet your bodies needs. Once those are met, it along with the protein and carbs, will be stored. If there is not excess, your body will pull on…

Not a great eating day yesterday. I was about 875 calories over my calorie budget. On the positive side, the macros were great, very low carb, lots of fat, and decent protein. Back to it today, although at the moment I am not hungry at all. I will see when I get hungry again since even with a calorie budget, I still only…

I can identify with that comment. That was me about 2 years back. After about 100 pounds loss, I was trying to figure out maintenance with some limited success. Then I looked at what my body looks like, and decided that I needed to go back on a small deficit to let the last of my fat slowly go, so I am not in maintenance…

For me protein fills me up, and fat keeps me full. If I get hungry earlier than expected, I can pretty much always find that my fat percentage in the previous meal was not sufficient. I find while carbs fill me up quickly as well, I get hungry very soon afterwards (1-2 hours) so for me, in terms of satiety, I avoid them…

While I like the idea of challenges, as they can push one out of complacency, at the same time, trying to achieve them can also cause one to push too far. That is especially true for me now in my 50s. I am still learning to really listen to my body, and not get so focused on meeting the goal of the challenge that I ignore…

In general, no. With the various possible situations where it could be as mentioned by previous posters.

My experience has been basically the same. I had a pre-diabetic A1C, and going basically Keto (started out extremely low carb, then moved to actual keto after doing more reading, and now more meat based Keto) I found not only did my A1C improve back to normal, but a whole host of other issues I didn't even realize where…

Weight is coming down again. I am remaining in Ketosis according to my breath meter, and my exercise is on point. Overall, I am pleased with how this month is going.

Good goals. All the best. Keep us updated on your progress.

I have never really liked running. I did it when I had to. This time I seem to be enjoying it. I still wouldn't consider myself a runner, but my weight program is a strength program, and it really doesn't do much to get my heart rate up for more than short bursts when I am lifting. It is great for building strength, but I…

I have been doing a good job on staying in Ketosis. Less good on losing weight. The numbers have actually been going the other way. I am pretty sure it is because I started running on our treadmill. I have never been much of a person for running, but I wanted to do something different. I did some searching on Youtube, and…

My November goal is to go to a new goal weight 5 pounds less than my current goal weight along with continuing to workout according to my existing workout plan. I am not really set on getting to my new goal weight in November, just really getting the weight moving down and closer to it since I wouldn't be looking to lose…

It was Canadian Thanksgiving this past Monday. We celebrated as a family on Sunday, and I used my smoker to make a smoked turkey. It was excellent. More work that just putting it in the oven, but I thought it was well worth it. There were very little left overs from it, and that this point all that is left is the wings and…

I don't really have goals for October other than maintaining my weight and keeping working out. I did switch from Bodyweight to lifting weights this Monday. Canadian Thanksgiving meant a free eating day for me, although I did make some Keto desserts so I could enjoy dessert left-overs without huge numbers of carbs…

Excellent.

Well, I have discovered a new favorite way of cooking burgers at home. My favorite burgers are those cooked on a grill over the fire while camping. I discovered that using my pellet grill I can get the same sort of flavor in my backyard without having to build a fire. Time to get more ground beef. I will have to thaw some…

The smoker worked well, although boneless skinless chicken breasts (all I had available as I am working at emptying out our freezer and they were thawed) are not ideal for smoking. They did turn out ok, but really I needed something with more fat. I have several racks of ribs, so I think I will thaw them and smoke them on…

I picked up a used Pit Boss pellet smoker yesterday. I only had time to fire it up to make sure that it would at least start last night, but hopefully tonight after work I can use it some more. So much more space than my vertical smoker has, and having integrated temperature control so I don't have to constantly adjust…

Thanks for the update. Good job. Keep it up.

It looks like it will be beautiful weekend weather around here. Lots of sun, and no rain. The temperatures might be a little high, but that is not a bad thing for what I need to work on. Our car has some rust holes that need work. I figure that will fill my time for the weekend. I have to do the same on our truck, but I am…

This week has been pretty good overall. There was a potluck at our church on Sunday, so I ate freely for that meal. I had a small snack of meat late in the day so I would not be hungry in the morning, and that worked well. According to my ketone breath meter, while I didn't drop completely out of ketosis, I was back into…
