201.3 lbs

There is not rhyme or reason to the scale sometimes.

I woke up frustrated, remembering my lack of progress that I observed yesterday. Almost ready to give up and try something else. I am tired of being hungry all the time.

But, I got on the scale this morning and boom, 201.3. That’s progress I can live with.

And yesterday wasn’t a very strict day. That’s what I’m saying, no rhyme or reason.

Yesterday I had two salads with meat, one with crushed corn chips in it. Two eggs. A cheater bowl of lucky charms cereal and a beer at night.

This morning should have been a fail, but for some reason, it went down. I don’t know.

Just keep at it. The scale will frustrate you and the scale will reward you.

Keep going, almost to to sub-200!!

203.5 lbs

Ok. It’s Wednesday morning. I’m down to 203.5. This is hard. It’s creeping by and I eat very little. Feel like it should be more.

Wonder what is ruining it? I’m going to read through my posts and see how progress really has been.

Maybe too many peanuts or peanut butter. Every little bit must really count at this level.

EDIT: Ok, so I looked back. On June 9, one week ago it was 204.3. So, that’s about a pound per week. That sucks. I have been doing 20/4 time restricted eating. I really should have lost more. Damnit.

205

After the cheat day weekend. Not too bad. Actually, over 205 then down to 205 later in day.

I got hungry today. It’s hot and I didn’t sleep well. These days are a challenge.

But, I did good. Held to it.

Really want to break 200. Looking at probably two weeks. Man, this is slow. And I’m freakin hungry half of the time. Crazy.

The hunger did subside a bit, though, before I ate. That’s promising.

Some days are hard.

Some days are hard and it really sucks. You just want to eat. Like today. I’m hungry. And tired of being hungry. But, fluff it, it’s almost 2pm. Only hour or two to go.

203.9 lbs

Yesterday morning I weighed 203.9 lbs. Then I went to graduation lunch and ate a mole enchilada plate. And probably 30 chips. I ate half the rice and beans. Had a bowl a cereal later in the that day, and that’s it.

Today I weight 204.4 Half a pound more!! Could be all the salt, and the major shift is water. Or poop! or both.

Still, slow and steady wins the race. Keep going. I’m really determined to get sub200.

And, today, you eat almost nothing. Why? because you already ate it. (and it was good, but not that good. The chips and salsa with guac were actually more rewarding, I didn’t need the rest. Keep that in mind in the future. Where to get you “cheat” hits from.

And, perversely enough, I missed my salad.

Also, that intestinal thing that’s going on seemed to flair up a bit.

Funk Mouth

On days were your body is really eating itself, your mouth is going get funky. Pasty. It just means it’s working. These are really good days for weight loss. Drink lots of water or green tea, though.

204.3 lbs

Hard to believe that I’ve lost 10lbs and I’m still over 200. But, I’m making progress.

Yesterday I ate shredded pork with salad. twice. a little dressing on salad. second time i crumbled corn chips in. a handful.

I also ate half a can of spahetttios with meatballs and a few ounces of milk.

That’s it.

I thought it was pretty decadent.

Do I Weight More or Do These Pants?

Do I Weight More or Do These Pants?

I weight myself in the morning. Not every morning, but most. I was down to 205.8 or something, and now I’m at 206. 5

I haven’t been pigging out, but, maybe I’ve eaten more. I’m not sure.

I am wearing sweatpants instead of the normal pjs during weight in. Should try to keep it consistent. Always the same clothes.
