No weigh-in for me this week. There was a death in the family and I've needed to spend my mental energy working through that. I'm going to try and get back on track starting today, so hopefully I'll have some good news next wednesday.

[Clarker86]

Got the all clear on both fronts for my health. Still not sure what caused my right pupil to dilate and me to pass out but the neurologist thinks it was a silent migraine. Anyways, my weight dropped a lot. I think it's mostly water weight cause I've changed nothing in my routine. 

Starting Weight: ~241+ lbs
Current Weight: 202 lbs
Last Week's Weight: 205.2 lbs
Weight Lost this Week: -3.2 lbs
Total Weight Lost: 39 lbs
Mini-Goal: Sub 200 lbs
Goal Weight: 160-165

@AuroraKat- I've always found planned maintenance a good thing.  The trick is to not use it an excuse to go nuts.  The other suggestion would be to stay off the scale for a week after you are back on plan.  Often maintenance will include more carbs, so your glycogen stores are replenished,  With that comes extra water as well.

@rubbyrose3: you want to go from 74 to 57 kg, which is quite a lot. If you were 160 cm, this would be going from BMI 28.9 (near the top of overweight category) to 22.4 (middle of normal weight). It’s possible to do it, but you need to have a plan (for eating and activity), and stick consistently to it. Merely wishing you’ll get rid of the extra weight, or watchin sugar, or lowering carbs, won’t cut it.

I had a look at your step count for the past 30 days (taken from your profile😞

You have been on Fitbit since January 2014 (three years), but seem to have lost motivation regarding activity: there are many days with very low step counts and some when you didn’t even wear your Fitbit. Maybe you’ve also lost motivation for your eating?

[A_Lurker]

@rubbyrose3- I have some of the same comments that @Dominique said.  I hesitate to say one eating plan is better than others, however, picking something that you only do for a little while may be why you lose and then gain when you stop following that plan.  Permanent weight loss is about making small manageble changes, seeing how they work, then adjusting.

Here's a thought - keep track of what you're eating for 3-4 weeks.  Be honest, but try not to change what you're eating.  This should give you an idea of how you're eating now and where you could maybe make some changes.  Then decide what changes to make and do them for the same period of time.  It might be as simple as dropping some liquid calories (coffee with cream and sugar, pop, beer, wine) or changing up one or two habits.

Look at your average number of steps from the last 28 days.  This coming week try and do a few more each day, become more consistent.  When I first started I did lots of steps on the week days but not on the weekend... so I worked on the weekends first.

[AuroraKat]

@A_Lurker - going nuts is not an option. I need to be in good shape for my 5k and being gluttonous is not part of the equation! My issue is "giving up" a few weeks of progress number-wise. I am very certain that planned maintenance for a few weeks will be beneficial for my mental health, but I cannot seem to give up on the scale moving. As far as glycogen goes, this is why if I do planned maintenance, around my 5k is the perfect time. I'll be able to have more energy for my race and the training leading up to it.

Morning all!

So, an injury has held me back a little bit this weekend, but I'm doing okay. Still haven't broken through that pesky 180 lb barrier, but darn it, next week is the week!

USW (12/2016): 195

PW: 181.2  -13.8 🙂

CW: 180.3 -0.9 🙂

UGW (?): 145-150ish

Hoping to push through to 179 this week and continue to mollycoddle my foot so I can get back to walking and at least jogging late this week or early next. Don't want to push it and destroy my plantar facia completely and derail everything—I'm not throwing away my shot! 🙂

@RachelShrinks - smart.  I've got a plantar facia problem too.  And it's being going on for months! Trying to remind myself that I burn just as many or more calories on my bike as I do walking/running and that the step counts don't reflect all my work, but ... I hate seeing the step counts go down!  I'm working on it though.  My weight-lifting is going back up  and I'm joining my wife this morning at her H2O class.  Some sort of water aerobics.  I'm sure I'll have all kinds of sore muscles I didn't know existed by tomorrow morning 🙂

So, flu this week, a visit to the ER (not for me) and a decision to go back to no food logging.  Yesterday evening I realized that I'd only eating 1400 for the day (too low for me) so made it up with a bit of a snack fest while watching TV.  I'm considering any week with more than a pound loss a good week.  I may eventually end up logging my food on the weekends.  During the week I'm actually better at keeping to a routine.  Next week I'm travelling 3 of the 5 days.  Once I get there I'm in one place so I'm actually considering making some type of cold grain/veggie salad to take with me for the evenings.  I'll have no control over the choices for lunch (I can choose what I take, but depends on the options).

I got my freezer defrosted and started filling it with some organic pork and beef from a local farm.  I started cooking up some items in the crockpot for better meal planning.  I'm going back to keeping a list of what's in the freezer.  The only items left in the freezer that were questionable were a couple of packages of shrimp, although I poached some up in a little salsa last night and they were good.  Everything else is vac-sealed so even though it's maybe been there too long it's in pretty good shape.

I slept in, but already have two crock pots going.  Yes, I live by myself and I have two of them.  One was a gift though and I don't think I've ever used both at once, but why not.  I've got a fairly busy day planned as I need to head out tomorrow night for my trip.  So everything I need to do needs to be done today.  Now I'm off to make brunch.  Fresh locally raised bacon and eggs.  The bagel is purchased and makes me think one of these days I should make and freeze some of my own.  Or when I'm away look for a decent bagel place and bring some home to freeze.

WEEKLY WEIGH IN for me the old short guy with a beard (Phil Chenevert)

WEEK SIX OF MY WEEKLY WEIGH-IN FOR ACCOUNTABILITY.

highest weight 212 lbs.

goal weight 144 (I am a short old guy, 5'4" 76 years old now)

WEEK 1 JAN 16, 2017 BEGINNING WEIGHT 161.6 pounds

WEEK 2 JAN 23, 2017 CURRENT WEIGHT 162.2 pounds + 0.6 pounds whoops!

WEEK 3 JAN 30, 2017 CURRENT WEIGH 160.4 -down 1.8 pounds !!!! yaaaa. feelin' good

WEEK 4 FEB 6, 2017 CURENT WEIGHT 160.0 - another tiny loss and in the right direction

WEEK 5 FEB 13, 2017 CURRENT WEIGHT 158.4 - a big loss for me. great!!!!

WEEK 6 FEB 20, 2017 CURRENT WEIGHT 158.2 - actually a surprise but a nice one.  

Exercise has slowed down; I don't have a left rotor cuff due to muscle atrophy (the othropoediast assures me) and the shoulder exercises were too much and apparently hurt it a lot last week so I skipped Friday workout.  He (the Dr) wanted to do a 'reverse shoulder operation' putting the arm bone on top of the joint instead of inside of it but that sounded weird.  So I've just been exercising it every day for two years and it seemed adequate until last week.  Will start light weights again this week.  

Keep your eyes on the prize everyone.  Healthy is a much more fun way to live and worth the planning, shopping, cooking and little spaces of hunger we feel along the way.

Everything is going well. Was finally able to break the 175 barrier with (2) 174 lb weigh ins on Saturday and Sunday. Completed my 2nd crossfit session and my legs are really feeling sore but I enjoyed the intensity.
