Trying to figure it out still and behave well with diet.

Weighing in twice a week (Wednesday and Saturdays)

Started at weight 188, Sept 12, using the website (from 192 start goal 2 weeks prior)

Sep 19 Weigh in lost 2 lbs (8 days later), weighed on a Thursday because bought new scale.
This was 8 days of adding exercise and stretch routine and sticking to diet, off sodas, etc. 2 lbs in 8 days isn't impressive or my aim, but I was just starting to track everything and hadn't started adding extra walking/exercising yet.



12th - 1467 calories, 142 carbs, -983 calorie deficit
13th - 1244 calories, 103 carbs, -1118 calorie deficit
14th - 1644 calories, 121 carbs, - 750 calorie deficit
15th - 1131 calories, 71 carbs, -1058 calorie deficit

The above equaled 2 lbs of weight loss to 186, according to website with logging all food and exercise, came to 3909 calorie deficit according to website. 2 lbs in 4 days is pretty good, so no complaints with this weigh-in. On the 12th I had some pizza and a cheeseburger for the first time for days and extra carbs through that, the 14th I had a fish sandwich (bread) due to getting extra hungry from a day of being more active, and 15th had a bologna sandwich. When losing the 2 lbs in 8 days I was abstaining from bread much more, but it didn't hurt it with these 4 days since I lost 2 lbs.



16th - 1337 calories, 117 carbs, -1113 calorie deficit
17th - 1542 calories, 169 carbs, -1056 calorie deficit
18th - 1347 calories, 109 carbs, -1834 calorie deficit

Stayed same with weigh-in on the 18th as 186, 4003 deficit
This could be hormonal/time of the month water weight.I was not surprised not to lose weight since I Had a lunch size of lasagna and one breadstick from Olive Garden for a celebratory lunch from director and some chili Monday night. Otherwise stayed healthy




19th - 874 calories, 106 carbs, -1930 calorie deficit
20th - 1439 calories, 149 carbs, -1204 calorie deficit
21st - 1160 calories, 143 carbs, -1579 calorie deficit

Lost 4 Lbs over three days with this weigh-in for Wednesday. Could have been some of the water weight coming off from hormones? 4, 713 calorie deficit. Strangely this was the time I indulged for the first time in weeks in soda Friday (a decent amount) and ate a potatoe with butter with more carbs. I also had bread Saturday, and coke again (not a healthy two days), but this was my biggest drop in weight since starting the diet - my cheat week saw the most weight loss oddly! 6 Lbs that week, which admittably is a bit too quick, but when added to the other weeks with hardly anything, is evening out.




22nd - 925 calories, 83 carbs, -1835 calorie deficit
23rd - 1242 calories, 122 carbs, - 1111 calorie deficit
24th - 1307 calories, 172 carbs, -765 calorie deficit
25th - 941 calories, 83 carbs, -1380 calorie deficit

This made me GAIN 2 lbs, back to 184, despite being the lowest calories. I did have one free donut from work the day before.




26th - 1274 calories, 116 carbs, 918 deficit
27th - 1451 calories, 194 carbs, 647 deficit (no stretching/exercise)
28th - 1113 calories, 99 carbs, 1113 deficit (haven't added in exercise yet today)

That made me lose 2 lbs again, back to 182 tonight. My second slip with soda was Friday with a small cheeseburger (bread). I swear it seems the days I sneak in extra carbs through bread, soda, or another source is when the weight starts to drop, which really doesn't make much sense, and today I had bread.

I will eventually figure this yo-yoing out. So far this week my bathroom habits have become more normal finally, and I had to cut back on the walking a bit because of my tendonitis in my ankles and giving them a few days to rest. Apparently since I lost 2 lbs Wed - Saturday my body was okay with that for now at least.
182.2 lb Lost so far: 9.8 lb.    Still to go: 47.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

I also look at my individual weight and my eating and my exercise and try to make sense of it but I think sort of day to day it does not really add up. I think maybe week or month you can see where your efforts or lack of efforts came in and hurt you (unless you binge or something). Good work though!!!!

Thank you liv, it's not making full sense to me yet but this is a new journey as I keep trying to remind myself when getting frustrated. Good luck to you too!
