EDIT: Also, I am just barely under 180 today, which is neat.

I notice you managed to get down to 178.2 before dropping off the wagon on Sunday - congratulations!Even though you didn't quite manage to go for the planned 5 days without cheats, I think the drop of 3-4 pounds during the period you did manage it is more than random variation. You have valid experimental results, and now you know what you need to do - no cheats!

And, if you look at how I track weight, 180 on Monday is _still_ lower than the previous monday. So yay.I tried real hard not to cheat, but it's hard to do with those people - they're the "go ahead! eat some more!" type of old people who shovel stuff on your plate and think they did something wrong when you refuse food. I'm thinking of telling people I have a gluten allergy from now on It's interesting how big of a difference one piece of cake (and a little bit of pasta) can make.Do you think this weight would shed faster because it was gained faster, in the same way that water weight will shed fast?
I expect it would, it's most likely carb / water weight
Down to 177.6 today. YayYesterday I actually ate a can of tuna around 2pm, really because I had it at the office and wanted to get rid of it. At home I fried up some spinach in tallow, added 3 eggs, and ate that along with an apple, banana, some blackberries and some strawberries. Lot of fruit last night, little fat. I wonder if that's why I'm hungry right now....
So yesterday I cheated twice.I ate a small sugar cookie around lunch time.And I had a beer with dinner.For dinner I actually made a sauce with onions, red peppers, garlic, and some spices. I blended it so that it was actually like marinara sauce, except awesome. Put that over chicken. I ate 3 chicken breasts, an apple, and some greek olives, along with about 1c of the sauce
I'm curious what else you ate on this day? Your dinner sounds very yummy BUT did you eat the skin on the chicken breasts? Seems to be again...low fat. And yesterday you ate low fat...hence maybe the uncontrollable sugar cookie that was calling your name?Quote from: phrakture on March 12, 2010, 03:33:39 PMSo yesterday I cheated twice.I ate a small sugar cookie around lunch time.And I had a beer with dinner.For dinner I actually made a sauce with onions, red peppers, garlic, and some spices.

Have you ever made it a week without cheating?
While I'm normally not a fan of Cordain's "one cheat meal a week and nothing else" plan, I wonder if "one day with cheats per week" could work for Phrak.
