I've been on a relative plateau all summer - lost 5 lbs in 3 months. Some of it was due to bad food choices, but I'm convinced that most of it (AND the bad food choices) is due to NOT EATING ALL MY POINTS!!!
According to the Basal Metabolic Rate Calulator (
http://health.discovery.com/tools/ca...sal/basal.html), I should be eating a little over 1,400 calories a day (28 points) just to maintain my weight - if I was inactive all day. On WW, I'm supposed to eat 23 pts daily, plus 35 weekly points, which jives with the calculated 28 daily.
However, I've been eating about 20 points a day and NOT using my weekly points. PLUS...I do vigorous exercise 6 days a week, giving me lots of APs.
I think that I've shot myself in the foot metabolically, causing my body to shut down a bit. Plus, my occasional binges are probably my body's way of fighting this deprivation.
So...I need your help in holding me accountable for eating all my points!
Comments, anyone?
