Sounds like you are doing really well! You can achieve 10 pounds by Christmas!

My near-term goal is to weigh less at my upcoming Dec 3rd physical than I did at my last physical (4 years ago)...I really want to avoid that “you gained weight, watch those calories!” lecture.

I had been maintaining at 148 plus or minus 1/2 pound for about 3 months (even with all the fasting, strength training and “intending” to eat low carb...guess my occasional deviations are too common). My few days of off-plan eating this past week has put me over 150. US Thanksgiving is this Thursday - that usually adds a pound or two. I need to weigh 147 in the morning of the appointment to look like I have it under control. Silly, I know this is temporary water weight, but I hate that lecture!

My next goal is to avoid holiday weight gain. I would love to go into January below 148. The past two years I have gained 7 or more pounds through the holidays, then struggled to shed that through the year. It would be nice to start next year’s fat-shed effort from where I am now...not 7 pounds heavier.
