I tell myself that I'll weigh in here once a week (say, Tuesday), but then I check my weight each morning, and if/when I see a loss, I think, "claim it!", so that I can see even the littlest bit of progress. So here I am, with a half pound (hey, that's two sticks of butter!) loss to record. I've actually been eating more calories this week - deliberately - and a little more fat, since my gallbladder seems to be doing better. I'm not at RDI, even with the increases, so this is not like the apple newtons incident.
I intend to stay with this general eating plan, but I've decided to play around with maintenance intermittently. Meaning, take a higher calorie week once in a while to eat some of the things I can't necessarily eat when I'm focused on losing. I think it's helping me get into a better mindset of these changes being lifelong.
Have a great day - let me know what you're working at, and how you're doing!

losing 1.8 lb a week
01 August 2017
It's the first day of August (I bet you knew that). I am down exactly 10 pounds from the first day of July, so I am counting this month's progress as quite good! I lost 13 in June, 10 in July, and I have a goal of 185 (11 more pounds) by the 7th of October. I should be able to make that happen...perhaps even more!
I do expect that the more rapid weight loss will taper off at some time, so I want to make sure I'm not overly-focused on the progression of numbers. There has been a time or two lately, very likely hormone-driven, that I've eaten more than planned at one sitting, and then felt pretty miserable afterward. It's important for me to remember the immediate benefits of feeling better, less sluggish, more energetic, all that, and that it really is rewarding along the way, not just at the end.
Other than losing weight, I have an August goal to try some more new foods. I'm hoping to try jackfruit this month, and to find a couple of new ways to eat both zucchini and green beans, since I have those in the garden.
How are you doing lately? What are you working on with regard to mindset, or trying something new, or permanent change? What are your goals for August?

losing 0.9 lb a week
30 July 2017
We did well with framing this weekend and got a lot done! We had to get more lumber, and next will be framing out for the shower stall.
Tonight I did some food/meal prep for the week. I cut up a cantaloupe, made some baked tortilla chips from corn tortillas, and portioned out some fruits, snacks, salsa, etc. I made carrot and celery sticks and salad too, so we have a lot of quick and easy things to grab for the next several days.
Tuesday is a new month...I'll do my next official weigh-in that morning. I'm hoping for another half-pound gone...we'll see!

We are framing in the basement today. I had to shrink the waist on my tool belt because it was sliding down too low and I was going to trip over my own hammer!

I have always heard (I think a few of us have) that it takes your body something like 20 minutes to register 'full', and I've always thought that was odd - why would it take so long?
Today, I ate my lunch, which was a half portion of a previous zucchini-marinara-mushrooms-chicken dish and some potatoes I added so it would be enough calorically to do what I needed to. Ate...still hungry. So, I ate my snack that was supposed to be for later...still hungry. Had a fig newton and 15 minutes later, felt like I'd stuffed myself at Thanksgiving or something. I added up all the calories, and it was about 400 calories in all, and I'm a girl who was used to many more calories at one sitting just a couple months ago. I felt over-full for the next hour. Moral of the story? Eat slowly, wait (or drink some water) and avoid that icky feeling!
I'm still good with regard to RDI for the day (actually, I'm low). Just wanted to share!
