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.

2017 AUG 30 -- Day 11

I weighed myself before work again tonight. I like these lower numbers. I'm pretty sure this is due to not eating during sleep for at least 6 hours. Whatever the case, I'll take it! Yay! Low number! Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  406.4 lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs I'm at work. It's 10:30 PM. I've been feeling the hungry growly monster in my tummy, but I've been ignoring him... until now. I'm eating my sandwich. According to the book, you are only supposed to feel hungry when you're body is below its set-point. Is my set point higher than 406.4 lbs? Wow! I need to find out how to lower that a lot faster. How can I make it 145 lbs? LOL. I know the answer to this. It gradually becomes lower over time; I must be patient. The trend is still downward on the whole, but right now it is still well above the first measurement I took at 404.8 the day I got my scale. It's going down, and I saw 406.4 lbs today ...

2017 SEP 1 -- Day 13

I splurged a bit on high-set-point food this weekend. I have regrets. I also have a rather large up-blip as a result. I ate pizza with my favorite toppings which is a very familiar flavor making it a more fattening food according to Seth's theory. Flavor recognition makes food more fattening, basically, because there are very strong flavor-calorie associations. Foods with very familiar flavors are called "ditto" foods, and ditto foods must be avoided. It's possible to change the flavor of the food so it is not a ditto food, but I didn't do that. The result: Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  410.4 lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs This seems like a huge setback, but I'm going to ignore it for now and just keep truckin'. I'm sure I can drop it again in a few days as I did before. The graph of my numbers since starting is very reassuring. I now know how to regain control. I simply have to remember to use m...

2017 NOV 7 -- Day 80

Woo! 374 lbs! Now we're cookin' with oil! Hehe. I know that's not the saying, but it fits better than "now we're cookin' with gas." I also don't want to have my body associated with gas. LOL My plans are really coming together for Thanksgiving. We do ours the Sunday before the actual holiday so that our friends don't have to worry about fitting our event into their schedules with their own families. We don't really have family. It's just me and my husband. Our family all lives in other states, and we don't have kids or anything. We're free spirits, and our holiday traditions reflect that. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  374  lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Thanksgiving is more of a glorified game night anyhow. We all sit around the giant TVs in our living room and play Jackbox games. It's super fun. My husband also bought the Munchkin board game and a whole bunch of expansions for i...
