Pat-Your BMI wouldn't drop without your weight dropping and definitely not that fast. I can't even think what would drop that quickly...not body fat or water %. What made you think your BMI was 47? I plugged your numbers into a BMI calculator and your BMI is about 27.6. It will slowly drop as you lose pounds, but it would take a couple pounds to drop even 1 full point. Anyway, for a change to get going again you could make sure your getting plenty of water, try calorie cycling, make sure you vary your exercise if you can, and track your calories (they may be too high OR too low). Hope this helps, but don't get discouraged. You'll be fine as long as your stay active and make healthy food choices!

Pat - I agree with MsP, BMI is only calculated using your height and weight and since you didn't shrink, your BMI would have gone down slightly with a pound loss. There's just something funky, is your scale battery low? I agree with MsP's sugesstions as well, mixing up calories can be really benefical as can increasing your intensity of exercise, doing interval workouts in the same amount of time you were doing your other workouts. Variety makes your muscles break down, adapt and grow stronger and that takes more calories! Good luck and let us know how things are working.

DECEMBER
WEEK 1 - One more week of C25K under my belt - running 25 minutes at a time now.
OOPS - just noticed I supposedly added 3 days of strength training/yoga to my challenge goals. Completely spaced on that. Did one day. Get with the program, Emma!
Thanks for the tips, Tummy I will check the batteries in the scale. I will mix up my exercise more. Water isn't my strong point. I will make an effort to get in more water. Please explain calorie cycling. I am going to take a long look at my eating plan. Last month the doctor put me on a diabetic eating program. I'm not diabetic thank goodness. I follow it closely. It uses the food pyramid, then tells me how many servings from each group I can have. That's it. six small meals a day instead of 3 and 2 snacks. I'm going to revamp it, and journal all the changes to see what works and what doesn't. Thanks all Pat
