Hacker Diet update week 17 (skipped 16) Current mood: optimistic Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes Well... the last 2 weeks have seen a turn around. Last we met, I was heading full bore towards a plateau. Well, I was able to break through. And All this with Thanksgiving in the middle... I brought my trendline back below the 2.5 lb/week estimate and have it continuing to fall at a bumpy rate... Here's the deal, I did what I said I was gonna do: § I double checked everything, and made sure I wasn't eating anything I didn't record. For this I DID cut out my crystal light iced tea for now, as it was always something i never tracked, but at 5 cals per serving.. it was something I needed too. So out it went. § Some chili was made... then eaten... § Chicken soup was made.. didn't calc the cals, but I'm pretty sure it's on the level with Chili... so I clock it at 150/cup seems ok.. § I've been eating larger lunches, and smaller dinners. So this jump started things again... but it was thanksgiving... twice... so I ate right to my limit, and canoli more on thursday and saturday.. this caused some bumpiness.. Also tonight I had some popcorn; putting me over my limit by about 35 calories.. But trend/weight is going down at an acceptable rate, excersize is going up at an acceptable rate, and all in all looks like I lost about 10 pounds this month.. which is right on target (even though my target is lower than I want....) This has renewed my faith in the system! Not that it ever really waned, but my resolve did.. Here is the chart for the roughest (emotinally) November I can remmeber. -allenkll 11:30 PM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos

Hacker Diet update week 15 Current mood: disappointed Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes Another week.. no loss. And I even layed off the halloween candy. I double checked over my diet diary, and did notice a bit of a pattern of having an extra ~100 calories/day . But still, if I was loosing 3 lbs/week that's -1500 calories /day.. so +100 shouldn't make a difference. But still my trend line is dangerously close to being overtaken by a weight measurement, I was only .8 lbs under my line today.. and it has flatten right out... my last 2 weeks of weight are all over the place. I don't get it. Is this where my real stability point is? I had plateaus in the past that only lasted a week.. but this one is different. I'm considering a fast for 2 days. ~500 calories/day should jump start things again.. I did skip my excersize on sunday, but I did it yesterday, and I pushed myself to do a Rung 5 today.. 2 rungs above my current level.. hmm. Just need to make sure I am counting every calorie. And continue to block my mothers attempts to fatten me up. She's always pushing High calorie shit on me. Like she wants me to fail. That's not a good thing. Well I guess I need to buckle down more, and try harder until things get moving again. But the upside is... I still have lost 50 pounds. That's like ~15% of my original body weight.. That's pretty incredible. I still want to loose at least 50 more, though my actual goal is 90 more. I reallly think that 200 Lbs. is too skinny. I'm fitting into 44's now. Which is awesome. Easier to find pants. Also I'm fitting into a XXLT shirt pretty nicely.. depending on the cut. I figure another 50 pounds would put me into 40's and XLT's. It just appears to be getting harder... I don't know. I'm not a quitter though. Like I said, I just need to start double checking my calories. Something must be slipping by. Also, I think I'll try to eat larger lunches, and smaller dinners. I need to make more magical chili...
