Club 200-250

Oh, how great! Good for you, @MegaDeuce ! This gang (who used to be in a different Club altogether, not all that long ago) are spectacular to watch in action, and now that there's three of you zooming along, I predict a great 2020 for the spectators alongside the track, as well as the 200-250 racers, setting speed records on their way to their goals!

(Ahem! Not that anyone's recommending crash dieting of course - just good, steady progress!)

Hey, its good to see our cheerleader, Amy back!

That's right, we joke a lot about who's ahead and all that, but so long as you are going down you are winning!

You are a living testament to that. I got so distracted the last few weeks of 2019, but you were chugging along!

I went to the Korean spa yesterday amd boiled and steamed myself down from 247.4 to 264. It feels nice to detox sometimes. Feeling slightly dehydrated today as a result. So I need to keep drinking.
 
Back up to 247.4. I am going to start the weekly weigh in method. This daily up and down is too exhausting. Also I don't care if I mess up a little bit here and there. I don't want to be a perfectionist. I want to generally have control over eating, but not NEVER give in to my weakness.

Yeah, it can be.

I actually weigh myself most days, sometimes more than once. I try to figure out what causes the ups and downs, I've had some success but can't figure it all out. I just do the 3 day averaging thing weekly and take that as my weight for the week, I don't take the daily ups and downs too seriously, and don't post them. It took me a while to convince myself that so long as I eat right the weigh will come down, but clearly it does.
 
It's Monday morning and day 1 of my weigh in process. It appears I will be down a little, not a huge loss, but if this holds its going to be the right direction anyway.
 
Just dropping by to wish you all well this week! :seeya:
And agreeing with this aspiration:

because I think that's right - real control doesn't mean always holding the reins in an iron grip.
 
Thanks Amy, always happy to see your face in the Club, stop by often!

Its Tuesday and I think I will lose some weight this week, not a huge amount but some, we'll see what Wednesday brings.
 
232, down 2 lbs this week. My numbers jumped around a bit in the weigh in process, but I think this is a fair average.

My progress through the 230s has been slower than it was through the 240s, but still going down.

I tend to get really down on myself for not eating perfectly, but I am fighting this. It's a very strong habit right now, but I am pushing back now.
 
Good for you, Kyle, about pushing back hard on those negative voices - there's enough negativity that will come anyone's way in their lifetime, we don't need to join in against ourselves! :D

245.2 Ha! I've got this under control WITHOUT the self criticism. Down we go!

Good for you!!

I am struggling with my weight a bit, since yesterday morning's weigh in I have gone up a couple of pounds. I keep trying to remember all the advice I've given others about about variability. But such advice is always easier to give than to accept. Anyway my eating has not changed, I am sure this is temporary.

That is the kind of self-doubt I want to get under control. Yeah sure I need to be honest when I am messing but, but there is a thin line between honest self-criticism and putting oneself down. I am trying to find that balance.
