Weekly Weigh-in - Sep 28th, 2008
The Sunday to Sunday loss this week is 0.2lbs. I’m actually a little surprised by that. For the week I averaged 3139 calories per day (although I had wanted to go slightly higher, I just didn’t get there). I suspect one of the reasons I’m not up a pound or so is that my period fell in the middle of the rest/maintenance week. Sheesh, I seem almost disappointed that I didn’t gain weight.
I’m actually going to do another day of these calories levels (today) and then go back to deficit calories on Monday. I may wait a few days before adding in exercise (to make sure I’m over my cold/flu/sinus infection). I’m still not convinced that I’ve shook it. The 9-week loss is 17.4lbs (1.93/week) which is usually the ‘number’ I look at to see how things are going overall. I’ve pretty much decided that the daily weights are going to be out of whack while I’m in school. The other little compulsive number I look at is how many days I’ve been ‘on plan’ primarily with food. I still consider the maintenance week ‘on plan’ since I accomplished what I wanted to. So, since I started keeping track this is day 262 on plan with food.



I love how organized and methodical you are about what you eat, You don’t seem at all stressed or in a hurry. And just look at that chart! That lovely downward trend…
Hooray for you, Anne!
Heya Anne,
Sorry you weren’t feeling well…Hope you are right as rain soon

Susan - I think the planning has helped a lot. I suspect I’ll have to do this for a long time. Not just for the time I lose weight, but a long way into maintenance as well. So I might as well get good at it now.
Elliott - I am feeling better, but still not 100%. We’ll see how this week goes. Thanks for the kind thoughts.
