Per my previous post at 3 months, I'm a big fan of numbers. I've now hit 6 months in my journey, (24 weeks if you wanna be technical) and I thought I'd share some metrics to give some perspective on things for those of you that are as curious about numbers as I am. In addition to the numbers, I'll include some commentary on them for context.
Starting Weight: 310lbs
Current weight: 247lbs
Total weight lost: 63lbs
Percentage of starting weight lost: 20.2%
Median loss per week: 2.86lbs. (While out of context this could be interpreted as being more than 1% per week for someone in the 240s, it's important to understand that in the context of someone that's starting at over 300lbs, for several months this would be less than 1% per week.)
Most weight lost per week: 5.5lbs (week one water weight)
Least weight lost per week: 0lbs (hurray for stalls!)
Largest single day loss: 5lbs (Which happened 3 times)
Largest single day rebound: 3lbs (which happened 6 times)
Longest period without significant weight loss: 13 days (aforementioned stall, happened at 250)
Onto calories!
Median calories consumed per week: 1611
Highest calories consumed in a single day: 2824 (when I first started counting)
Lowest calories consumed in a single day: 950 (Had a nasty case of the flu, barely left bed that day)
Most calories in a single meal: 880 (popcorn shrimp with korean bbq sauce, worth every calorie)
Estimated TDEE: 3040 (A decrease of 230 from my previous 3 months. This puts me in between lightly and moderately active category for the calculators. Now I lift weights 3-5 times a week for 1.5-2 hours per, and occasionally doing cardio when the mood strikes. So if you think you're "very active" because you go for a casual 30 minute walk a day, think again)
Based on current projections, I am roughly 7 weeks ahead of schedule, and should be able to achieve my goal weight of 220lbs in approximately 14 weeks.
My original intent was to stop now, get fitted for the tux for my friends wedding, then restart after the wedding. But with her blessing (and some finagling with the store) we were able to push my fitting back a couple weeks, and I've decided to push through to the finish line.
If you have any additional questions about metrics, please feel free to ask. I'm on here all the time.
