As per usual, I have like 8 million thoughts in my head that are jumbled, so I'll use bullet points.
1) I've been above 200 pounds for well over 2 months. For a few weeks I gained a bit, and then lost what I've gained, but still ended back right hovering about 200. I've been within a couple of pounds of onederland for 2 weeks now. The last two weeks I've totally hit my calorie mark and have done really well with walking, etc. I think I'm going to have to cut back on my calories a bit more and see if that helps. The BMR calculations tell me that at my current weight I need 2300 calories to just maintain (and that is the conservative estimate using the "sedentary" adjustment factor). I eat anywhere from 1800 - 2000 calories a day and I get plenty of walking in on a daily/ weekly basis. I'm either due for a big "whoosh", there is some mistake in my BMR, or I'm dramatically underestimating my calories.
2) For psychological reasons, I really NEED to see Onederland at tomorrow's weigh in. This is because it is going to be my first week back to WW after having taken several months off from there and because I know that my weight is going to fluctuate up for a while next week. On Sunday I'm participating in this years last big walk (jimmy fund marathon walk) and I always gain water weight for about a week after one of these events.
3) September 17th is the 3 year anniversary of starting my weight loss this time around. On the 18th, I'm traveling to NY to visit a friend. I'm very close to hitting a 250 pound loss mark and I'd really love to do that by my anniversary. I'm praying for a whoosh to help me out!
