Funny stuff in the second paragraph. Okay, so I have a stable weight for two days here at 190. This is the top of the swing for my weight. I'm thinking now that the top weight, not the bottom plunge weight that seems so unstable, should be what I'm considering my actual weight. Why? Because this is clearly the hydrated, glycogen loaded weight of my body. Since glycogen stores have a limit, everything as in a balanced, or loaded, state. This will help my thought processes in two ways. 1st, it will let me relax about the upswing, and 2nd, when I go to maintenance I should then be seeing that weight which will keep me from panicking about a 4 or 5 pound gain. Granted, we're so weight centric that this seems counter intuitive, but our real weight surely must be our normal weight with everything in balance where we are most highly functional, and not our weight while everything is depleted. So I began this journey in 2012. At 235 pounds I was puffing to tie shoelaces and finding any exertion extremely difficult. Now I'm lifting weights during the week for approximately 6 hours and I feel better than I did in my 20s (to the best of my recollection). But the thing that really annoys me is that in 2012 there was a new exercise craze and I MISSED IT! I could have been in on the ground level. Granted, it's not weight lifting, but it just looks like it could have been so much darn fun! Even the youtube link has wew as the last three letters, which is awfully close to 'whew' which is of course an onomatopoeia for exertion. Check it! This could have been me? :D

I prefer not to follow the traditional "bulk n' cut" cycle, but I can easily vary between 180 - 189. Last time I tried to gain I was at 199lbs...tried for 200lbs, didn't quite reach it. You'll find where your weight fits based on seasonal activities, water, carbs, etc....

I couldn't watch it because JUST the name, Prancerise, made me giggle too much!

So all this time I've been walking and running I could have been Prancersizing? V-8 slap to the head. :) Great job on your progress Bruce. Your thinking about actual weight and glycogen stores makes sense to me.

I can visualize the reaction of my fellow walk/runners at the public trails I use...

I agree on the weight thing Northern, we easily sometimes focus on numbers and forget that health and wellness is a combination of many factors, fat weight being one of them. Oh ya, where can I sign up for this "prancersize"? :-)

Ok...so I'll fess up. I've actually been prancersizing for years. However, I only do it on snow with ski boots for ankle weights, gotta get that hairdo though, very special.

I think I may be glad I missed that exercise program. I'll stick to normal walking thank you!

I would probably be sent off for treatment if I did that in my locality. Also she looks so thin; she needs to be fed. But..thanks for the laugh
On the subject of weight....I weighed a half a pound heavier on the 1st January 2014 than I did on 1st January 2016 and in between I had lost 46 pounds! To quote Joan Rivers..I should be hanging off a charm bracelet by now. So now I am determined to go the slow route and in the process change my entire approach to eating and exercise. Not losing much these days but every week I lose a few ounces and have kept up a few exercises. By teh way I really do think it is best to weigh yourself only once every week or two.

onomatopoeia???? I'll have to write that one in my crossword dictionary!

Love the thought of our true weight being higher than our lowest ever. It's true, during weight loss we are lacking the glycogen stores and the water that goes with it so naturally when you hit maintenance the first thing your body is going to do is pack that back on... not a fat gain but a restoration gain. What a simple epiphany, thanks for sharing.

When you quit "dieting" and go to a maintenance dieting...the water amount you store will bounce back up....maybe 5lbs - 10lbs in others. Definitely account for this in your goal by aiming for 5lbs less than where you really want to be.

@mahjohn - Ouch! Thats why so many ppl struggle with maintenance. What is the trick then to avoid this "rebound"
