Up a pound. Staying under 250, though, so that's good. Enjoying the snow day.

Noticed how slowly I am losing weight. Maybe one pound and some change per month! Slow and steady...

Any loss is a step towards losing weight and health! I set my goal to lose 2lbs a month and not stress about it. This CAD diet with one carby meal makes me feel like a normal person. I can have carbs around and not binge on them or crave. Probably the only reason I'm doing ok with weight and being on prednisone.

Nawchem, prednisone is the worst! I hope it's helping you feel better, though.

Back to the low I hit before I left for my trip last week!

I've always been something of a slow loser, too. This week is a bit unusual, because I'm readjusting from my trip. In the past, it's typically been a couple of pounds a month. When I re-started in January, I just didn't feel I could stay committed if I didn't see a little faster progress, at least at first. I am fighting like crazy to try to lose 1-1/2 lbs a week. I'm being way more vigilant about keeping carbs really low--close to 20 instead of my previous "30-ish" that often crept close to 40. I'm keeping my eye on calories. I'm trying IF. My guess is that after a few months, I won't want to be so strict, and I'll slow down. But hopefully the momentum will keep me going long term.

I think one of the reasons this thread works is we're all losing roughly at the same pace. If we had someone here who was one of those "I lose 10 lbs every month! I love this WOE. It just melts off!" people, they'd win every time.
