I so much enjoy watching all of your progress! Kudos to all of you!
I once lost 99lbs doing a low carb diet with @Texkonc and it was good for almost two years but travel triggered me to lose it and gain the weight back. This time I'm trying something more sustainable. And I don't worry about the carbs.

Yeah - that has positives and negatives... a single time per day blood sugar spike isn't considered healthy by many
Yeah, apparently by doctors who look at "averages" and don't consider individual health. It's one of those things where they don't research it and just repeat something that is pretty obviously untrue. Just because something is true for the median, doesn't mean that it is always true or even true for the mean.
It's called the flaw of averages, and one of the reasons to not trust doctors, is because something so basic, they never understand.
If one doesn't know where to start, starting with suggestions that work for most people isn't a bad place to start, and then adjust accordingly to your own individual needs and requirements.
Yes, testing the averages is a good starting point. Doctors don't test, though, they always try to "adjust you back" if you try to tweak to what works for you.

This is generally true, because the US health system isn't about keeping you healthy.. it's about fixing you only after you're broken.

Down 31lbs now.

Down 13.2 kg (29.04 lbs) since April 17, 2019 (3.5 months).
I did hit my 2 weeks under 100kg checkpoint in July and have not been in danger of going back.
-
I'm stuck, 173 lbs. Can't seem to make any headway.

Have you recalculated everything using your current stats? This way you can adjust accordingly?

I'm currently using a nutritionist.. I'm following his lead at this time. We'll be discussing lowering my carbs this week.
Here are my current macros:
BFast - 35P 60C 20F
snack - 28F 45C 10F
Lunch - 35P 60C 15F
snack - 28P 45C 10F
Dinner - 35P 60C 15F
snack - 35P 30C 5F -
Checking in as well. I haven't lost a single pound. That being said I have been doing CrossFit for over a year and I have added 40lbs to almost every lift, I can comfortably run a mile unbroken, and I feel great. Take your wins where they come. Now I'm on to conquering pull ups and jump rope double unders.

This is why I titled the thread fitness and weightloss. Not just weightloss.

I'm way up on push-ups since I started. Starting was 18 in a minute. Now it's around 44 in a min.
Mile time started at 8:35, currently 6:34.Need to add pullups, and others to the routine.

Alright. You've all inspired me to quit the "hold steady" phase and make another move downward......:)
-
Down 35lbs now.

I'm firmly back into the 270s. Am 276 now

Started swimming. Got a membership at the local city pool. Really cheap and really nice facility. Started going yesterday.

Yesterday (september 10) I was at 96.6kg again.
I've been between 96.3kg and 97.6kg since the above screenshot.
Time to make a change of some kind to push the body on.

Yeah, I've been stuck in a small range for weeks.

I've been stuck for a couple weeks, too. I went away on 7 day vacation a few weeks ago and just haven't been able to get back in the working out groove. I've been maintaining my diet, though, so that's good. Still want to get down to 200 lbs.
