Week 6 Gluten Free Weight Loss Diet

Posted by Mike in Misc, weight lossFeb 23rd, 2010 | 2 responses

I’m disappointed in myself.  I didn’t lose any weight this week- stuck at 203.  My goal was to hit 200lbs this week.

I think I have lost some dedication to the diet.  I’m a firm believer that eating healthy and exercising should be a lifestyle change and not just a “diet” determined by a time period.  Recently, I have stopped counting every calorie and eating my meals at a certain time.  Maybe I was premature to think I could handle my new lifestyle without writing everything down and counting every calorie.

I wouldn’t say I have lost motivation, but I have gotten off track a little.

I also believe that around 200lbs is the end of my “easy” weight loss.  Each pound from here forward will be harder, but it will be real weight.  No more easy water weight losses, only real weight.

I may have to go back to my old routine of counting calories and every nutritional fact.  Once I make it to my goal, then I can try going back to a “lifestyle” instead of a tracked “diet.”

    Hey Mike,
    Don’t be disappointed. Stalls and plateau’s happen, and as you said, you weren’t tracking as closely as you could have been. It’s far too easy to eyeball that portion a little bigger when you’re hungry-and all of a sudden there’s no caloric deficit. Eyeballing portions and playing looser with calories can work great as a lifestyle for MAINTENANCE of a weight, but is much harder when you are actively trying to lose fat.
    Hang in there!
    Erin

    Hi Mike- You are doing great! Don’t lose heart. Maybe bump up the exercise a little – I agree with Erin as well. It’s hard to be so strict, but allow yourself a little treat once in awhile. I have been gluten free for 6 months and really have no trouble eating pretty much anything and maintaining my weight with no problem (and being menopausal to boot, ha). I work with a trainer and wellness coach as well – the support makes a huge difference.
