Another great week…the weight loss “whoosh” is real!!!

Basically, your body fights you for a few weeks and then eventually gives up, if you stay consistent, and then BOOM…you have a good weight loss week.

I’ve replaced my food addiction with cozy gaming addiction and I’m FINE with that- I’m way happier than I have been the last few years.

I’m currently getting lost in a ton of new games from a new genre that I didn’t even realize existed.

I’m currently playing Palia- if anyone on here is playing- it’s basically World of Warcraft only with a peaceful, cozy feel to it.

It’s an open world MMORPG that is currently only PC and Switch but is coming to Xbox and PS in May with a massive new updated.

I could get lost in it for hours and it’s really helped pull me out of the hellscape reality we currently live.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

I am currently not hitting my weekly weight loss goals- it’s going very slow- however, Zepbound has continued to work amazingly.

I’m still eating less than I ever have.

I am also still overall ahead on my weekly and monthly goals of where I wanted to be- only because the first several weeks were so much larger than my goal.

I have yet to gain weight during a week and that is a massive accomplishment itself.

Forgot to post this update yesterday- I was slangin’ drugs all day in Hyland Point… (Schedule 1 game).

I ate a big lunch yesterday and then nothing after about 2pm and didn’t really care. My stomach crawling this morning literally woke me up but I wasn’t hungry at all.

I fixed me a breakfast burrito- keto friendly tortilla- but couldn’t even finish it.

Already started the weight loss for this week…I was actually 394 lbs. this morning, but that will go towards next week.

If my insurance ever decides to stop paying for Zepbound, then I will become a Zep Head….I’ll be offering to perform sexual favors behind the Sav-A-Lot just for a shot!!!

Yes, I know what today is…but… this week’s weigh in is early because I hit a milestone and don’t want my body to do something stupid like retain water and I lose it tomorrow

It’s like my body knows I weigh in on Thursdays so I usually go up a few ounces, even a pound and I’m not losing this 399 lbs. unless I go up next week- today is a “part” of this week and this is what I weigh this week…lol.

I take my wins when I can get them!

Interesting how quickly the weight loss stops.

It’s been a month since my first weight in and I’m down 20 lbs.- my monthly goal is 15 lbs. but most of that 20 lbs. was lost the first two weeks. Months cover actual “month” so this isn’t an official monthly weigh in.

In that month, I had one “cheat meal” and that was a couple of cupcakes to celebrate my birthday; other than that, I’ve been under my MACROs and I’ve done perfectly.

I didn’t start tracking my food until 02.23.2025 bue here is my averages-

1475 Avg Calories
82.5 Avg Carbs
72.5 Avg Fats
106.5 Avg Protein

Under 100 carbs is still considered low carb- I just need to focus on getting my protein in.

I’ve got 10 days to lose 5 lbs. and hit my March goal and I’m 6 lbs. ahead of what my goal for today was.

No the weekly and monthly goals don’t add up- weekly is more reasonable while monthly is best case and the month doesn’t fall exactly on a week.

5th day at 405….the streak continues!!!

8…7…4…?

If you have ever really tried to lose weight before, you will recognize that pattern- it’s the pattern of your body adjusting to it’s new caloric intake while still being in “cave man” mode and trying to figure out how to keep you from starving because something has drastically happened in your life to cause you to start eating about 2,000 calories LESS than you had.

This week is going to be hard, and I know it- I’m ready for it. I’m going to do perfectly and hit all of my MACROs but it will still be a low week.

I haven’t done a lot of exercise the last 3 weeks to prepare for this- I wanted the shock of less calories to hit and now that my body is leveling out, I need to throw in steady exercise to help off set the change.

It doesn’t last but it comes and goes- you could do perfectly and even gain weight- it’s all apart of the process.

You always lose a lot the first few weeks- mostly water weight and the fact that your body doesn’t yet realize all those calories aren’t coming anymore.

Then your body realizes and tries to save us from dying.

Then the body realizes that this is the new “normal” and evens out to a pretty steady weight loss.

The thing to focus on is AVERAGE.

In order to reach my overall goal, I need to average about 3.46 lbs. lost per week. The last time I had massive success with weight loss, I averaged 4.23 lbs. lost per week, over a 6-month period.

The more you lose, the smaller you get and the less calories you need to just live- so it gets harder and harder as you get closer and closer to your goal and that makes it even more frustrating. You can see your goal but nothing you do seems to get you closer and you finally give up.

I’m going to try not to do that this time.

Based on the calorie calculator on Mayo Clinic- if I get no exercise, I need about 3200 calories per day to just live.

My goal right now is about 1600- so that puts me in a 1600 deficit per day already. When the exercise kicks in, I should be 1900-2300 deficit per day.

Average of 2,000 calorie deficit for 7 days is 14,700 calories used for a rough estimate of about 4.2 lbs. of calories.

I highly doubt I’ll lose 4 lbs. this week.

If weight loss was truly just “a numbers game/calories in VS calories out” then life would be pretty damn simple.
