140K to 160K took 14 days. I've been worrying about plateauing for the last month and a half or so. Part of the reason I've done so has been the fact that I seem to lose weight in little clusters. In between formal weigh-ins I tend to check my weights every so often. I usually measure on the 10K marks just to keep an eye on any patterns, and sometimes I'll randomly weigh myself (if I'm in the bathroom and just decide to check). So at some point I may weigh myself and see I've lost three pounds, but then a week and a half later I'm still at that weight. That's when I start worrying about if I've slowed down.
Weigh-in result: 221.8 lbs.
So there's no question I've started to slow down a bit. After all during the first half of the diet I tended to lose 5 pounds every 20k pretty much without much variation. Those numbers have tightened now, but the important part is that I'm still losing weight. Even more importantly the loss of weight is now quite visible. Even I can see the difference when I look in the mirror (and it looks kind of weird to be honest).
Of course after the successes of the last few weeks, today fell in the low end of success. Egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast (300 calories), a cheeseburger on a sourdough roll with a few chips for lunch (800 calories). Had some friends over so I didn't have dinner, instead I snacked all day (1200 calories) on a piece of pizza, chips and a few cookies. The real problem was no real exercise today (rode my bike to work, but that doesn't count in the rules of the challenge).
