Goal Day

Cubit said:

As of 6AM Pacific, I weighed in at 164.8, which makes my original goal of
165 official. (Yesterday, I still had half a pound to go.) I'm male: 5'
8"

During the 1980's I had reached 165 with a starvation diet. I had
remembered thinking that was a good weight at the time, so I set my goal at
165. Now that I am recovering from having been as high as 320, my body does
not hold its fat evenly distributed. Thus, it is obvious I need to continue
on. My new goal is 150.

Cubit, that's an almost unbelievable accomplishment. It was a long
road and it seems that weight loss was not an epic struggle for you,
which hopefully will translate in weight maintenance of approximately
the same difficulty. I wish you success...

It's nice to know that you lost all this weight, eating mostly fat.

I never figured you for one that would have what it takes.

Everybody is wrong sometimes. ;-)

If the problem is distribution, maybe the solution is
firming more than it's further loss? Something to
consider as an alternate.

Loosing weight is addictive, is not it? 🙂

(Been there too.. Gone through 4 goals.)

Anyway, do not forget adjustments for your glycogen, if you want to
match goal reached via non-LC method.

Do heavy carb-up before deciding what your real weight is (done that on
weekend - eight beers and unlimited carb calories - ended with 6 pounds
of water/glycogen up next day).

That's fantastic. I bet you look and feel like a totally different
person! I've lost alot less weight than you have, and it hasn't been
fun for me. I admire that you've had the dedication to stick with it.

I saw some of Cubit's earlier pictures that he posted a few months
earlier. Even then, he looked like a completely different person from
his fat picture.

So is that called an experiment or a celebration? ;^)
No need for it to have only one purpose, right?

The amount lost during Induction is a good max to figure
glycogen plus the water it is dissolved in. Induction
includes some fat loss so it will be an over-estimate.
I lost 8 on my first Induction, and my water retention
swing is 6. (For folks doing ketosis but not Induction,
your loss on day 15 is the number to use).

When I switched from a moderate carb diet to a low carb diet (already
at normal weight), my weight loss was zero.

This is wonderful news! Congratulations!!

Congrats again (OFFICIAL congrats :-)!

I know what you mean about revising the goal weight. I don't know how
I'll feel about it when I get to 125 lbs (and I WILL get there
eventually), but I know that when I was at 137 lbs before, I was
thinner. The big difference this time is that I have a lot of sagging
skin, so the extra skin is not shrinking IN so much as it's simply
sliding down until something stops it , whereupon it just bulges at that
point :-( It may be the same in your case.

OTOH, while I'm enjoying looking better (SO much better), my main focus
on a goal weight is to take stress off my feet, knees and back, so
having some jelly-like bulges is annoying and disheartening, but not as
important to me. From a purely detached point of view, it's actually
kind of fascinating in a warped kind of way :-)

I'm 5' 8" as well, and recently hit 165 (248 starting weight). I too
decided that wasn't enough after getting there, even though quite a few
pounds ago it certainly seemed like a low enough weight.

FWIW, In addition to deciding to lose a few more pounds, I've been doing
some basic workouts (pushups, crunches, and lunges) 5-6 days a week,
which seem to be helping. I haven't been losing any weight the last few
weeks, but my clothes are definately fitting more losely (I had to buy
more medium sized shirts and 30 inch waist shorts, which I cannot ever
recall wearing in the past), so some changes are still taking place. I'm
certainly feeling better since I started exercising.
