Hi All, On week 3 of my weight sanity plan. I'm tracking CICO & intermittently fasting. Rather than focus on the daily fluctuations of the scale, I'm focusing on the long term trends. I've set myself a goal to lose 1 lbs per wk (.5 kg). That's a sustainable number for me (48F). I've lost 7 lbs, 4 lbs more than expected. I suspect that's mostly water weight and my loss will slow down. But by having a schedule and a plan, when I hit a plateau, I'll have a tool to safeguard me from being discouraged. Rather than fretting the scale, I'll just go from being ahead of schedule to being on time. As someone whose chronically late for everything, on time is good enough for me!
Even if I have to adjust the goal later to .5 lbs/wk (..23 kg), that's still the right direction. At that rate, I'd be at my GW (something I haven't been since before 9/11) before my 50th birthday. Im in this for the long haul.
