Good for Err! Off the plateau, finally.

Still slowly creeping downward, but in a range I am comfortable with so it does not have to continue. However my weight doesn't seem to care much what I think...
  • August began 161, ended 159, ranged 163 to 159.
  • September began 160, ended 158, ranged 160 to 154.
  • October began 159, ended 158, ranged from 155 to 162.
  • November began 160, ended 153, ranged from 153 to 164.
  • December averaged 156 and ranged from 151 to 159.
  • January 2021 averaged 155 and ranged from 149 to 160.
  • February averaged 156 but ranged wildly 145 to 166.
  • March averaged 147, ranged from 143 to 153, the high just the one day after surgery.
  • April was not a great month, averaged 157 but ended at 164..., ranged from 147 to 166.
May
  • 1 - 164 lbs
  • 2 - 165 lbs
  • 3 - 165 lbs
  • 4 - 160 lbs
  • 5 - 160 lbs
  • 6 - 161 lbs
  • 7 - 161 lbs
  • 8 - 159 lbs
  • 9 - 158 lbs
  • 10 - 159 lbs
  • 11 - 158 lbs
  • 12 - 157 lbs
  • 13 - 155 lbs
  • 14 - 154 lbs
After losing about 160 lbs I began maintenance in July 2020 and am trying to stay somewhere in or close to the 150s.

Thanks. It seems to be mostly water weight, but I'll take it.

Hey Err, still well into the aughts, things could be worse. You are not far from onederland, for me that was a big milestone.

I am very much looking forward to the next century, but the calorie deficits are getting smaller (and even still, tougher to maintain) so I don't expect to regularly hit the 190s for another month. That still won't stop me from a mini celebratory dance when I first reach it dehydrated/glycogen depleted (e.g. I was 203 after today's 3 hour bike ride).
 
That's logical Err, losing more slowly as you approach goal.

Still bouncing, gave up another pound this morning, but no real change.

I ate about 600 calories more than planned last night which put yesterday at/around maintenance. These late night mini-binges seem to be occurring more frequently and it has me considering returning to a "no food after 8pm" schedule. I had maintained such a schedule for most of the first year, but in the last few months I've been experimenting with consuming protein right before bed to maximize protein synthesis. Any gain in protein synthesis has thus far escaped my detection, but I am eating more calories and not getting as good sleep so I can't say the pros outweigh the cons.

Evenings were long one of my problem times. Now I just plan a substantial late snack into my calories for the day. Can't say it cures all, but it does help. It does not however impact my sleep, if it did I would reconsider.
 
If I could keep the snack limited to something no bigger than a cup of cottage cheese it wouldn't affect my sleep. The problem (as I now see it) is that by having a snack I "break the seal" and tend to later unnecessarily grab a bowl of dried fruit or a handful of protein bars. Not only do I end up with more calories than I want, but I seem to then have problems regulating my body temperature (being too hot to be under the covers, but quickly too cold to be without them).
 
Hey Err, you know your body well and I can certainly understand the "breaking the seal" thing. That is a concern of mine about a lot of things as well.

Had a blow out last night. I had intended on doing a 1-hour evening run and had eaten accordingly with my goal of no food after 8pm. But I've been feeling run down lately and just couldn't drag myself off the couch. So I was already ~700 calories over what I would otherwise aim for when, at around 10pm, I started craving snacks. 1 ~200 calorie protein bar led to 1 ~1000 calorie container of almonds which lead to ~1000 calories worth of dried fruit. I may have been slightly hungry at the start, but towards the end I was feeling full and still couldn't stop until all the nuts and all the dried fruit were gone. All told, I wound up being 2500 calories over that day's maintenance.

On the bright side, I felt pretty decent physically this morning and finished last night's planned run with enough energy to still do today's planned bike ride. But I'm still pretty frustrated/annoyed that a ~1 hour binge basically undid the last 5 days' dieting...
 
Hey Err, sorry to hear about the binge. At this point no need to worry too much about it, no longer term physical impact I am sure. But it is important to do what you have to not to let it happen again. Believe me I know all too well how much easier that is to say than do. What will you do to try and make this a one time thing?

Gave up a couple of pounds this am, but still in my happy zone.

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it Err, this kind of slip happens to all of us. The good thing is you've recognized it and get back on track. Weight-loss and maintenance is a long-term game. Keep up the work, you're an inspiration!

Also, like Rob's question in how to prevent it again, that is key.
 
I'm wondering if anyone here is an emotional eater? I fall into that trap sometimes, any advice appreciated. I know what my triggers are, stress.

Down to 115.4lbs but through diet restriction mostly, not sure if I can maintain but let's see how it goes. Bit nervous for a date on Friday, I hate dates, they can be judgy when it comes to weight.
 
Hey Misty, good loss, down a couple of pounds since you were last here! Happy to hear you are going on a date tonight! I doubt if the weight will be noticeable to anyone but you, if it bothers him you are dating the wrong guy! Have fun, I am sure he will like you just for what you are.

Bouncing here, but into the 140s for the first time since surgery, I don't need to go that low, but its nice to see the water gone.
