Lost some weight which is nice. I think I gained weight because I got a food box full of food that I normally don't eat.

I was good all year, but I'm back to holiday eating, which involves a whole lot of sugary and fatty foods. I'll be back on the wagon in January!

I've been stuck at the same weight (give or take a pound) for about 3 weeks. I'm about ready to give up... :fluttersmith:

Now that my month of holiday food binging is over, it's time to get back on that wagon!

Starting weight: 213.0

11 pounds lower than last year's start, so that's good. My goal as usual is to get to 185, but I don't think I ever got lower than 188 last year, so we'll see how it goes.

Need to get back on this bandwagon too. Dropped under the goal for just a bit, then moved in with my partner and wavered around, then holidays jumped back above 157. Less than the start of last year, which I guess is good given how much I've missed out on due to lockdown, but still wanna get back to that goal.

I have not posted very much at all recently, but oh damn the whole 2020 quarantine had me gain just about 40 pounds and I'm super embarrassed.

So, I'm starting again. I had lost a bunch of weight in 2019 and now I'm aiming to repeat that.

Starting weight: 227.8 lbs. :fluttersmith:

Week 1 water weight loss is the best. Too bad I'm not gonna see losses this big from here on out.

Week 2 Weight: 205.4
Weekly Change: -1.6 lbs
Total: -7.6 lbs

Since my partner and I are both binge-eaters, the way we're dealing with it is to be strictly good about dieting for 13 of every 14 days, allowing ourselves one day every two weeks for us to go hog wild and eat whatever we want. We call it "Faturday". Tomorrow will be our first Faturday of the year, so we'll see how it affects weight loss this week.

Doing good, a bit slow but it's better than gaining a bunch of weight like I was worried I'd do.

Holy cow that's more than I expected, maybe the most weight I've ever lost on a non-first week. Much like Octavia I will be having a hog wild day tomorrow, in this case because it's me and London's 5 year anniversary and we will just consume whatever. But honestly with the weight loss pace this has been going out I don't think it's bad to press the brakes for a day.

Congrats on the anniversary! :yay:

Remember that this isn't a race, so there's always time to hop back on the wagon and it's never too late.

I guess I just had to get past 256 before I could actually lose anything? I still feel like this weight loss is just water weight and my body'll be like "Ah-ha! You thought you were losing fat, it was actually water! Joke's on you!!"

As for this week:

Yeah not terribly shocking, but I had a good time and I didn't gain. We're following a weirdly similar path!

232.2 lbs today, so up 2 lbs from last week.

I give up. I'm tired of exercising 5 days a week and counting calories only to he stuck in the same spot for months. I'm fucking done. Fuck dieting and exercising. They just make you miserable.

252.8

Not as much as I was hoping for but I didn't really exercise yesterday as I normally do since I was busy running errands yesterday and did a lot of walking instead. I guess that was enough for some sort of progress? It's pretty exciting that I might meet my mid-way goal of 10 pounds lost this upcoming month!! I didn't think I'd make it this far!

Week 5 Weight: 204.2
Weekly Change: +2.8 lbs
Total: -8.8 lbs

I was good all week in counting calories, so I'm not really sure what the fuck happened. :ohrarity:

What makes it especially annoying is I was being extra good this past week because this weekend is both my partner's birthday and the Super Bowl, for which we have a nice dinner and snacks planned.

Oh well, just one of those weeks I guess. I'm gonna keep trudging on. :pinkieshrug:

Not as much as I was hoping to lose but it's definitely better than gaining, I suppose. Also, I kinda know why I didn't lose much weight, I ate more throughout the day for a few days than I normally do so it probably made things a bit harder on my end to lose more. This one thing I make tends to make me hungrier for some strange reason so maybe I should look into alternatives instead of making that again, at least, until I run out of the main ingredient I use for it. As much as I like eating it, I don't think it's working out for me right now, maybe I should make it with TVP instead of seitan? Oh! Maybe I could use TVP with the sauce and make buns with it??? Sounds like fun!

I didn't weigh in a week ago because I thought I did bad that week and I was scared, but weighing in after this very good week makes it seem those fears were unfounded. Still going!

Honestly better than I expected. This has been probably the most stressful week since the lockdown started, so eating healthy has been low on my list of priorities. I have a colonoscopy this week, which requires me to fast for a day, so I'm wondering how that will affect my weigh-in next week.

I was expecting to gain weight since I haven't exercised as much this week(but I have been running a lot of errands so I guess all that walking counted) and I've also been eating a bit more than usual but mostly due to boredom I think lol... But I have been keeping an eye on how much I eat through-out the day and have been trying to keep away from buying snacks at the store, did try some gummies for the first time though since I always walk down that aisle at the bulk store, so I figured I'd try something from down there, just to treat myself.

Wow and all it took was fasting for 40 hours and draining out my entire digestive system for a colonoscopy :roll:

I have a feeling next week it's gonna go up a bit.

Back to exactly where I was pre-colonoscopy. I think I might have to start hitting the exercise bike again. I'm strictly eating 1,200 calories a day and I still can't lose weight, which is just bonkers to me. :ohrarity:

247.8

I have no idea what I did to lose so much but it's nice to finally get past 250!! Also I've lost like 2 inches on my waist and hips, just one inch on my bust. This is basically the lightest I've been in two or three years.
