JockoT's Journal, 13 Jan 17

Oh dear. Now I have managed to delete the original post AND comments. I thought I was just deleting the wrong weight entry. As I said in my first go. I was lower mid week, back up yesterday, and down a pound today. Disappointing. I'll give the new regime a month to get settled into and see how it goes. 

A loss is a loss. What is your new regime? 

No longer dieting per se, but eating healthier, drastically reducing sugar and refined Carbohydrates, sticking to IF (16:8 or thereabouts), and taking Apple Cider Vinegar. I have become an advocate of Dr Jason Fung. 

I have set my RDI for Maintaining Weight, though I did choose a Sedentary life style (in more ways than one!). Aiming for 2500 Kcals/day and Carbs below 30%. 

You sound in good spirits Jocko, and from a recent high of 218, you've done great overall. Yes I think changing your diet regime will help. I'm on your side with Jason Fung. I suppose it's about educating ourselves and understanding what works for us  

Brilliant loss. Well done. Things are looking really positive. Glad you've found something that is working for you. 

If you go into the weight settings, then look at the right, you can enter historical weight. Have a mess around with that, you can change the weight to correct it.  

Super loss, Jocko! 

Great loss Jocko 😊 

Sounds like we're following the same regime/WOE Jocko! You do sound in good positive and controlled place mentally....always a good thing in my book :) It's sometimes worth going online (or to a local butchers) and see just what 1lb of fat looks like. I went on dietdatabase.com, near the bottom under the Science, Health & Nutrition heading on the first page, there's a comparison between 1lb and 5lbs of fat and muscle...worth a look! 

I also don't think you should be disappointed with your loss since the new year started Jocko - as with changing eating plans you have to give your body a little while to relax and it has probably resisted loss a bit until it works out what game you're now playing - then you may see soon that it got happy and stops resisting loss if you're giving it what it needs. 

I always get excited when I adjust my WOE. It reminds me that my weight and health needs are forever changing, and changing things up to suit them means that I am aware of my health and actively involved in the future needs of my body. That is motivating to me because I have spent the majority of my life ignoring my body or knowingly damaging it. Great job on your loss, Jocko! You have this in the bag! 

Jocko!!! You dropped a pound!! Great job! Just from going to the 16:8 IF. You are going to do great. 

Jocko... good job!
