I hit my first goal of -100lbs right before my 1 year mark of July 27. It was hard work, but that same day my best friend killed himself. I gave myself a bit of slack while I picked up the pieces to that and just maintained for a while. The maintenence turned into a bit of a backslide, but I stopped that at about 7-10lbs back up from my lowest and worked my way back towards right around -100. Since then, I was stuck at 240lbs, and have been since about November. My new goal is 220, and it has been INSANELY frustrating to not see the scale go down any more despite doing cardio daily and maintaining a "lose 2lbs per week" calorie defecit on MFP.
WELL this week I have been insanely busy trying to find a place to move, and touring places with my SO. as such, I've not worked out (indoor cycling usually) at all this week, which has been frustrating,and my diet has been a bit more lax with less time to cook. I still record, but I've been eating closer to 2000 calories than my previous average if 1700. I was nervous to check my weight this morning as I assumed my habits would have caught up with me, but I am down to 238 today. I broke my plateau by slacking somehow....
This isn't intended to tell people to be less diligent or to brag that this is easy or anything, just to vent about how sometimes working your ass off does nothing and sometimes slacking somehow does work. I'm confused, but glad to finally be below 240. 102lbs down, 18 more to go!
