2024-10-01: 225.2 lbs. I got down to 221.5 during the month, but had a rough week and a half at the end of it. Let's see if I can treat the new month as a reset point.

@phaen 25 pounds should be doable in 3 months, what can we expect the last month?

How are you doing?

Do you plan on using means that would lower your weight at the very moment you go on the scale while not being a true stable weight loss ? (e.g getting dehydrated)

@Mich Not intentionally. I won't be doing anything special at or leading up to the last weighing (and I haven't for the monthly ones I have been posting here). I'll just follow my normal daily routine.

If I miss by half a pound or something, so be it; I'm not interested in gaming the number.

2024-09-01: 225.2 lbs. If I keep up August's pace I should (barely) make it, so my goal for September is to build enough of a buffer that I can take a few days off at the holidays if I want.

Don’t let me down! I believe in you.

2024-08-01 was 232.1 lbs

248.8 today. Wrong direction!

are you opposed to taking semaglutide?

Not entirely. But even if I go that route, I'll have to figure out how to sustain things after going off it anyway, so I'm focusing on that first. I might reconsider when supply shortages aren't so frequent.

@phaen finding a new lifestyle that you can sustain is the key. I wish you all the luck with your attempt. I lost 30 ponds two years ago and still am at the same weight after I stopped my diet fase. Learning to understand my portions were too big, not that I was eating wrong things made a big mental change.
