During April, March, may, June, July, and august I steadily lost about 8 pounds a month. September went to 6 and October and November have been like 2-4 pounds. It’s demoralizing.
But there are a few high points: trendweight produces the graph of my weight loss trend. On a day to day basis it goes up and down. But over the multi month long term the graph goes down. Moreover I’ve tracked every calorie since April and I eat better food, more vegetables, and fewer calories by a significant number. I’ve also maintained a significant exercise habit.
This group has assisted me in innumerable ways. I come here to reassure myself — just keep putting one foot after another. Focus more on food than exercise all else being equal. My next challenge is doing some tucking (walking with a weighted backpack basically).
I hoped to lose 100 pounds in 12 months. I’ve lost ~55 pounds in 8 months. I need to lose another 45 pounds in four months—which would be about 11.25 pounds per month. Alternatively I may just extend the timeline a few months.
(And once I get to 260 then I’ll set a different goal, but probably more focused on body fat than weight — I’d love to get to like 185-195 with like 10-15 % body fat but that seems like a wild dream in this moment though (which is why I thought I’d start at the 100 pound loss).
