Default Day 15 - 4 pounds lost in one week

244/201/145

I have continued to exercise and I have lowered my calorie count to around
1000 a day. I don't like the fact that I have lost 4 pounds in a week, it
shouldn't have been more than two. I want to do this the healthy way. I
guess I will have to up my calories to 1200 a day. Then again, I was stuck
at 205 for about 3 weeks, so maybe it just my body coming off the plateau.
It could be the exercising that has jumped-started my weight loss. So here
is the question, do I up my calorie intake or just wait to see what happens
next week?

Jackie

Ps. No food dreams last night. Just 7 wonderful hours of uninterrupted
sleep.

Let's wait and see what happens next week, and I'll go with you, as
reading this post was like looking in my diary.
I was stuck at 181 for three weeks and JUST joined the gym 13 days ago;
this week, on vacation, I lowered my calories to
a steady 1,000 (I've been doing the "graduated calorie" thing for several
months now) and went to the gym every morning this week. I got on their
scale this morning and was shocked to see it SIX POUNDS under 10 days ago,
when I first met with my original trainer. When I came home, I got weighed
naked on my scale that I usually only step on Sunday morning, and lo and
behold, it was three pounds under my March 4 weigh-in. I'm not going to
"go by" this number, I'll wait 'till Sunday. Meantime, I'm doing a two-day
protein/juice detox, which will still be around 900-1,000 calories, if I
did the math right (and that's a big "if")

Ps. No food dreams last night.


:-D

Just 7 wonderful hours of uninterrupted sleep.


Sweet. I've had sleep issues since the onset of menopause, and now
that I am on the Other Side, I still rarely sleep more than three hours
straight. At least now, when I wake up, it is usually from a dog jumping on
the bed, and not because I am sweating bullets and sliding out of the
sheets...

Jackie -- I sure agree with Gizzie! What you're doing is working
great! Keep it up! And Gizzie -- what great numbers you have too!!!

We have such a tendency to change direction in some way, but changing
one's shoes won't put weight on (unless the shoes you change into are
forever located under a meal table), while changing our dietary habits
midstream clearly might!

Jackie -- If you do bump your calorie intake up a bit, I wouldn't go
too, too much higher. There is so much nonsense out that claiming that
more calories helps one lose weight faster. Ridiculous statement, but
many people have fallen for it. And it's even worse if the person then
loses a pound or two immediately and then superstitiously thinks the
diet is working. The old logical fallacy -- after the fact, therefore
because of the fact -- is at play here. Sorry about the sad, cold
calculus of calories in versus calories burned, but that's the way it
goes.

And you are both doing GREAT!!!!

Keep it up!


Yours,

Caleb
