Poor Andy needs a little fashion advice!
200 again. That's 7 straight days at this weight. This 2000 calories a day doesn't seem to be working anymore. Although overall I'm down 10 lbs after 50 days. One things for sure. I'm not losing it too fast.
Oddly enough I've had some luck in the past rebooting my metabolism by going off my diet for a weekend or so and then getting back on it. Maybe you should try a cheat weekend? You may go up a pound or two right away, but it might get your system back into fat burning mode for a while. Or you could try dropping down to the 1700/1800 cal range.
Back in my exec days, I grew into the high forties pantsI have to admit back about 10 years ago when I had ballooned out to 230 lbs. I could not bring myself to admit that I needed to go to 42 pants. So I bought 40's with elastic waistbands and squeezed into them
I posted an article on that earlier in this thread.

And I'm considering it. My only fear is that if I go off of this diet I may not be able to get back on. I have started many diets in my life that only lasted a couple of days before I went off the wagon. Those first few days are always the hardest for me.
It takes more calories to keep a heavier body going than it does a lighter one.200 again. That's 7 straight days at this weight. This 2000 calories a day doesn't seem to be working anymore. Although overall I'm down 10 lbs after 50 days. One things for sure. I'm not losing it too fast.

When I dropped 30 pounds, I kept adjusting my calorie intake down to account for that ...well truth be told the app I use did it for me lol. But still I knew it needed to be done.
At 175 pounds I was consuming around 1700 Cals. At 145 pounds I was consuming 1540 cals ... maintenance level. To lose more meant a further calorie reduction and I wasn’t entirely comfortable with that.
Maybe drop your calorie input by 100 @Trade and see what happens? Either that or up your exercise to burn an additional 100.
I appreciate that you are trying to help Ronni, however.............
I think you may be suffering from Dunning-Kruger syndrome @Trade.I appreciate that you are trying to help Ronni, however.............
You know you’re impressed! Go on....admit it! We’ll still love you!Just because I had to google that does not mean I'm impressed.
200 again this morning. That makes 8 days straight. I wonder if my scale is stuck?
and yer 200 lbs and tall
Small consolation...I wasn't flexingWell it’s not ‘all’ you have. You’ve got quite a bit of muscle tone
You're soooooooo funnyThanks Gary. Do you have any skin toning tips or skin lotion ideas for stretched skin?
Men and woman differ in how they hold and carry excess weight. Apparently men don’t get cellulite in their fat like women do. Luckily guys.
We had Eddie Feigner up hereAnd Herb Dudley was probably the greatest fast pitch softball pitcher ever
my official 5:30 am weigh in
At 6pm right after finishing dinner I tipped the scales at 204
My question to all is how have you maintained an acceptable weight? Are you walking, going to the gym, lifting, doing Pilates, what? I have to change something because what has worked for me this last 4 years is no longer as effective.
What's worked for you?
