2017 OCT 13 -- Day 55

I have lost a lot in the past two days. In the past two days I have eaten at least 1,200 calories per day. This is about twice as much as on the prior days when my weight barely dropped at all. This is very interesting.

On the 11th, I consumed 1,268 calories. On the 12th, 1,245 calories. From the 10th to the 11th, I went from 381.2 lbs to 379.8 lbs. That was a drop of 1.4 lbs. Then from the 11th to the 12th (now), I dropped by 1.2 lbs from 379.8 lbs to 378.6 lbs. I ate a total of 1,368 calories today, and I am very curious to see what I weigh tomorrow.

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 378.6 lbs ⇩ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

If this major whoosh down continues to happen, I may hit my initial goal of losing 20 lbs this month. I'm at 15.2 lbs loss so far, and I have 5 days to go in this 30-day period. If I can continue to drop one pound per day over the next 5 days, I will hit the mark.

I'm realistic, though. I am prepared to not see a dramatic loss like that by Day 60. My average rate of weight loss so far this month is at .61 lbs per day. With that trajectory, I am on track to end the month around 375.6 lbs. I'm amazed at being 378.6 lbs today, but 375 lbs? That seems so impossible. I don't know why, though. I am only 3 lbs away from it. It's very close.

Three pounds to go to get to impossible graph:


My husband is up a bit from 235.8 lbs yesterday to 236 lbs today. He is still just staring, though, and this bouncing around of his weight is what I expected to see. He's making better food choices, and that's important. He only ate about twice as much s I had last night on game night, do that is a step in the right direction for sure. I have some really good, balanced, lower calorie meals planned for us this week. I'll be making Beef Stroganoff and shrimp paella in the pressure cooker.  The amount I am making should easily carry us to the end of he week with leftovers. I also made my own ginger salad dressing to go on our salads.

2018 AUG 2 -- Day 113

My weight is down to 340.6 lbs again today, but that's what it has been every other day for the past 5 days. This is not encouraging. I like that it's gone down instead of up, but it's still not as far down as I'd hoped. I'm not feeling great about my progress at the moment. I'm beginning to doubt I can succeed with my ultimate weight loss goal at all. Am I losing inches, maybe? I don't know. I don't feel like I have, but I'm too afraid to measure myself. What if I haven't lost inches or if I have gained inches? I would be so discouraged! Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  340.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs My blood glucose readings were in the 120s when I first started measuring, but now they are staying in the 150 to 160 range. Every now and then they get into the 190s or 200s. That's fairly frightening. Why is my blood glucose so high? I read that there is possibly glucose in  my fat cells th...

2018 JUL 28 -- Day 108

I have lost a little bit of weight from yesterday to today, but I'm still not too happy. I am about three pounds heavier than where I should be right now. I know it's because food inevitably causes weight gain, and breaking my fast two days a week will invariably make my weight bounce back a bit. While I have to accept it, I don't have to like it. Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  339  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I was feeling a bit yuck from a combination of my fight with the porcelain fairy and the stress I've been under. I decided that eating would be a good idea today, so I had a salad with a nice, fat-infused Italian dressing I had made and some feta cheese and a few cherry tomatoes. It was really tasty. I also ate about an ounce or two of pork rinds. You'd be surprised at how many rinds are in a single ounce. They are a bit difficult to weight, though. I had quite a handful of them. Likely, it was two h...

2018 JUL 30 -- Day 110

I gained 3 lbs. I hate that I gained 3 lbs. I made the decision to change my eating regime and start eating when I feel hungry. I ate with my husband when we got home from work yesterday. We had taco salads. It was good, but I am now 3 lbs heavier than I was yesterday. This doesn't make me feel good. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  341  lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I had about the same amount of actual salad that he had, but while he had an Italian Romaine blend of lettuce, I had a spring mix with baby spinach. I also drank almost my entire 7-cup bottle of water -- maybe 5 cups of it. I know that fiber retains water, so I'm hoping that when I eliminate the salad as waste, I will lose this 3 lbs and then some. We shall see and only time will tell. I feel good, though. I feel better than I have in several days. That's telling. Have I been severely dehydrated, maybe? I don't know. Have I been missing out ...
