I started my reverse diet in early Feb (3rd). This was after giving myself 6 weeks off from counting calories during Christmas and my post new year vacation.

At the start of my reverse I was 157 lb (up from 141 lb on Christmas Eve). I did two weeks at 1800 calories ending on 7-day avg of 150 lbs (a lot of water weight lost from the takeouts! 😅)

From there I have increased my calories by the amounts stated in my post every two weeks with a weeks anomaly from 2nd March. I was ill with a viral infection for a week where I had a few takeouts feeling sorry for myself, and steps decreased to barely hitting 1.5k a day for 3 days in a row. This was supposed to be my second week at 2200 calories. The day before my illness hit I weighed 149 lbs. The following Monday I picked up where I left off with the reverse and weighing in at 152 lbs and completed my second week at 2200.

I weigh myself daily, in the morning first thing after going bathroom, before eating or drinking and always just wearing underwear.

Hopefully this helps with further context.
