3 Feb 2019 - Diet diary - Just checking in before heading to bed. Got busy yesterday and didn't get around to posting. Intake was under 1300. Today, didn't enter food in my tracker. I went out of town to get things I needed for the cabinet build and by the time I got home, was tired and not in the mood to list things. I did keep rough count and am not concerned, I'm confident I did not go over 1300. Will track again tomorrow (today) as 2/15 is getting closer. -2 lbs from 2/15 goal.
That's a tight/low/tough calorie challenge. It's hard to stick to something that low that long. What's your "about" weight now. What's your goal weight? Right them down. Post them on your fridge. continued success.
It is a low count to maintain, especially after taking off (going to maintenance) for the holidays. However, if I don't cut back pretty far, loss is almost non-existent. I am presently only around 7 pounds from my final goal, which is 140 pounds. That will put my BMI below 25, which is in the "ideal" range.
I keep a chart to track my weight, not sure if I will continue to do so when I've reached my goal or if I will just record it on the calendar regularly to note I am still in the "acceptable range" I will set. That will probably be within 5 pounds of the target weight. If I let myself gain more than that, it becomes increasingly difficult to convince myself to lose back down before it gets away from me. (voice of experience) I've been at this for 20 months now so I don't want to lose the progress I've made. I've reached the age/condition where mortality is a serious consideration in daily life so I can't "afford" to regain this time.
I'm not into the selfie thing so this is the best I have, from about 2 months ago.
@DotLewis Glad you're using the BMI...that's a good tool.
Glad - and impressed - that you're working so hard!
Posted by OldMetalHeadI hit a new weight milestone this week. Still trying for the six-pack.
Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
