Let me explain. I had my cycle on Jan 1st so that probably added 5 lbs but the scale doesn’t lie! And if I didn’t start low carb Jan 1st and continued to eat carbs I would be in the 170’s by now. No joke!
Yesterday I went to the gym and walked for an hour. I ate some tuna before the gym but not after. I didn’t end up having dinner and this morning I slept late at my boyfriends and didn’t weigh till now.
Full disclosure I have been going to the bathroom everyday on this plan I don’t know if that is normal since I am keeping carbs very low. But I am happy thatI can reach my goals faster.

I started high... But then I also went back to see what I was at the end of #364 which I won, expecting it to be lower but it was 217.5 so still a net loss since then when I thought I had gained a bit.

I looked at my book and found I had lost 30 pounds in 2019. It was not quick and only averaged out to little bit more than 2 pounds a month. It doesn't have to be quick.

Jschwab: regarding your 30 lbs weight loss in 2019. It was actually me moving my boyfriend’s son’s dumbbells that were about 15 lbs each when I realized as heavy as they were the accidental 40 lbs I had gained since 2017
I realized how heavy it is walking around with an extra 30 lbs.
So 30 lbs in a year - that in and of itself is a victory!!!

I did not lose today. It was my first day not losing but I did not gain and went to the movies and did not eat anything!!!
Hooray! I re-started on Jan 1st and already feel amazing!

Just wanted to update before joining the new thread. It’s just the ‘whoosh’ of water weight from starting over. Things will slow down now but as long as they keep going down I’ll be happy!
