Thanks guys
I did record everything I ate. My slip ups weren't huge...a chocolate covered pretzel (110cal), a candy cane (60 cal), and just overall bigger portions.
I've been on a diet for 6 weeks, and here's the pattern so far...I have only recorded the last 4 weeks.:
Week 1: (period week) 2.2lbs lost, 1300 average cal/day
Week 2: 1.8lbs lost, 1350 average cal/day
Week 3: .8lbs lost, 1100 average cal/day
Week 4: 2lbs lost, 1300 average cal/day
My exercise and activity level has been fairly constant. The only difference I can think of is lowering my cal/day in week 3, and that was the week that I lost the least.
