In a little less than two years I've lost 60 pounds... and learned and loved to log

With long breaks in between, losing some, gaining some I've lost 60 pounds in less than 2 years. But I'm at the lowest weight today. I took data and calculated my TDEE at different weights, the length of time to it took me to lose x amount of pounds, etc. I have done CICO, keto, PSMF, Ideal Protein. The results? I lost exactly the same amount of weight in the same amount of speed on ALL OF THEM. I kept cycling back between these diets or "lifestyles" and wow, it was really eye opening. I DON'T need to kill myself on all-protein diets or low carb diets. As long as I calculate my TDEE, deficit to lose a certain amount of weight in a certain amount of time, it's ALWAYS, it's predictable. I literally gasped when I saw the numbers. It was exact down to a T.

I want to lose 12 pounds by Dec. 17th. That would mean a 2.5 loss/week with a weekly deficit of 8750. I know I can do it! You really can't defy/deny the law of physics!

Before I started to log, I thought logging was micromanaging, tedious and "no way in hell can I live like that? log every bit of food?" But I started to and it became second nature. Even periods of my life when I wasn't dieting, I would log. During Ideal Protein, I logged even when we didn't necessarily have to. During keto I logged. And it's so eye opening. People not losing weight are not logging accurately, eye-balling and/or or have other medical conditions because CICO cannot be defied.

Ive had a life-long battle with my weight and food. Ive come to realize that this is the only way to have a handle on it. TO LOG, be in a deficit and be aware. It's the only way.

Cheers everyone and good luck on your journeys!
