As part of their motivational machine, LoseIt! sends out relevant badges when you pass milestones. I have gotten various ones like 25 Pound Club, 50 Pound Club, Committed, Dedicated, etc. They all mean different things. They even sent one out on Thanksgiving to people who logged as usual on that day. Yesterday I got one: "Hardcore - You have logged everyday for at least 24 weeks."
Twenty four weeks! Six months. I've been tracking every morsel of food that I've eaten for six months. That seems so unlikely, especially for me. I've always been sort of willfully ignorant about what I've eaten in the past. This new awareness has been quite the revelation, really. I'm averaging 2.4 pounds lost per week. I am eating under 1900 calories most days. I can see plenty of areas for improvement in what I eat, especially when I run the percentages of fat vs. protein vs. carbs. I've been keeping track of all the major caloric breakdowns, like sat fat, cholesterol, sodium, etc. I'm not completely fanatical, but I have the data I need when I want to get there.
Sorry I'm turning this into a weight loss blog! It certainly was never my intention. I will try to blog about other things occasionally! It's just that this seems to keep being what I'm doing, and it's certainly the main positive thing in my life right now.
