New to forum. Goal is to drop the 8.5 lbs it takes to lose an inch and have my pants fit again (hopefully). Tired of elastic. Been yo-yoing water weight for months so I'm ditching the scale and counting calories every day and storing my log in a gmail folder. Once I cut ~30,000 calories, I'm gonna hop back on scale and start wearing normal pants again (hopefully). Anyhow that's my plan, wish me luck!
It's not gonna be luck, you have a plan and with determination and discipline you can do it ! Welcome in the group. I find it so amazing to see the progress of others, hope it will help you stay on track I'm not disciplined, but since I joined this community I lost 5 pounds, and I'm still enjoying my veggies ��
Thanks everyone, looking back it's more like a few years I've been battling to get under 200 but I always lose motivation. The scale either disappoints and then I go get myself some pizza and ice-cream or it over-exceeds my goal and I'm the weight loss king and no longer have to battle. I realize now that when the scale dropped 4 lbs it was never all fat loss but rather mainly water loss. I've managed to gain weight on all sorts of diets recently, Atkins included, so now it will just be old fashioned calorie-in to calorie-out, pound by pound. Thanks again for support!
I was stuck at 210-220 forever. Once I made it as low as 204, for a minute. But I finally got on the right dose if dessicated thyroid which stopped my weight gain but caused no weight loss. I had tried a lot of diets but only Atkins worked and I couldn’t stick with it for more than a few weeks. Read a lot, especially on the Stop the Thyroid Madness website and learned that many thyroid patients can’t tolerate gluten, which is more or less what Atkins does. I also learned that 16:8 intermittent fasting works for thyroid patients. So that’s what I am doing. No gluten and 16:8 intermittent fasting. Also walking 10k steps a day and hand weights for 15 minutes 3 times a week. Also drinking a ton of water. I lost 35 pounds so far. Not fast but steady. Now at 185 pounds with hopes of losing 35 more pounds this year. Good luck on your journey.
Just want pants to fit!!
