Club 170s
- Thread starter Sprite1
- Start date
Okay... a goal, to be out of the 170s by the weekend! Go, team! 
(I know my own body, alas! I know that if I do manage to dip down under that magic figure, it'll just be a brief, bright flash-in-the-pan, and that I'll be likely to jump back up again - but jumping back up to 171.5 would still be an improvement over wavering between 172 and 173, which is how it's been these last few days!)

Oh, Nelly! I'm not sure if I can take one more day of being so strict with myself... 
but okay, just till Sunday morning!
I think I've got a fair chance of seeing a figure under 170, even if it's just briefly before jumping higher the next day. fingers crossed for us both!

Oh, Nelly! Well, in the name of Club 170s solidarity...
But this laptop has been behaving abominably all day, and it'll have to go in for repairs on Monday, so I don't know how long I'll be offline after that - and my Monday morning (when I go into town to the computer repair shop) will be your Sunday night, so that means I probably won't be here to see your triumphant march through the doors into the 160s Club.
That's a pity - but as soon as I can (maybe I can borrow a quick look using someone else's machine) I'll check into see how you've gone, and to congratulate you. (And you're so close! We both deserve congratulations already!)

well, due to off and on rain here for the past week i've only gotten out once for a walk... on the other hand i don't think i've ever had a stretch this long where my weight hasn't moved more than +/- 1½ lbs....
Hey there, Flyer! that sounds a lot like successful maintenance to me! (You should write about it on the Adventures in Maintenance thread! Maybe I could interview you on the thread, once I get this machine sorted out?)
And I'm on target here on my Sunday morning, @Nelly! Cheering for you to go well on Sunday!

169½! I probably won't stay there long, now that our special effort is over, but thank you for the special effort challenge, Nelly - it's been fun, and interesting to see that I could actually get there!
Now I'm off to get another quick look at the interior of the 160s Club!

I may be there too, maybe in reality, but I gained a "kilo" in one day for no reason at all, probs water weight or something because I ate well...have to see tomorrow.
@Nelly? Are you here? How're you going?
@Petal001 ? I'm back - while being unsettled puts some people off their food, it just makes me restless, and then I eat a bit of this and a bit of that - and think I must finish up the other... and the net result was this morning: 77.4 kg, which is over the 170 mark. And that was just this morning - goodness knows what it is now, or will be tomorrow morning. Ah well... we are going, heavens knows where we are going...

I'm eating 1000 calories but I gained weight. One day I was 78 kg. The next day I weighed myself I was 79.6 and since then it's been around 79. Why the fuck is this happening. I know it's probably water retention since I meticulesly calculate every single calorie I take in based (based on the package) but it's annoying AF. idk why this is happening. I know I'm eating a lot of carbs atm maybe it's that?
It might be - or maybe think about what you drink? Juices can have lots of calories per nutrition, and alcohol is notorious.
I'm back here, as predicted, but I know I can go through the door to thenext-door Club - I've done it once, and I can do it again! So, with any luck, see you there, soon!

I don't take any of that, just drink water. So Idk. I mean my eating schedule is weird now ig and I almost only eat carbs nowadays since the quarantine started cos that's what we have buy Idk. I drink slightly more water too
Here's my cal intake (I calculate everything very precisely. So it's accurate). The red dot is when the weight gain started.
Anyway, that's fine. You'll be back there soon enough, hopefully the quarantine will help
That's great though! Now you know what you can do
That is strange. Are you moving very little perhaps, and are you more cold than normal? If you´re eating that little and still gaining weight I can only think of two explanations: either you´re retaining water (perhaps because of stress?) or you´re body is so shocked by the low calories it´s trying to shut everything down that might cost energy (making you very tired so you´ll sit/lie down instead of being active, lowering body temp). I hope it´s the first. Or maybe it´s something completely different and I´m missing it completely.
