  • Quote: Thanks EmmaD, it was definitely a tasty dinner, I just hate that one big meal bumps me off track for so long

    On a side note, my scale doesn't measure fat so I have no idea how much body fat I have, that said -- any idea how your scale and/or the online body fat estimators determine a body fat estimate?

    I would be interested to know how much body fat I have...
    oh yeah, I hear ya - If I look at my weight loss chart, I can see from the bumps up exactly when the "fun" weekends were, and they take 3-4 days of restricting to go back down - sadly I can never keep it at just one meal, it usually turns into 2-3 days of debauchery. This would be one of the reasons why it has taken me nearly 4 months to lose 18 pounds.

    RE: online body fat estimators. No idea how accurate they are but here are the ones I have tried:
    Navy calculator that uses height, neck, waist and hip size [30%, 96 pounds lean mass]
    One that uses wrist and forearm size but not height [27.4%]
    One that uses calf and thigh and wrist measurement but not height [27.5%, 99 pounds lean mass]
    One that uses height and waist - [29%]
    One that uses waist, wrist, hips AND forearm but not height [27%]

    ^^^ Of course this is all using my smallest waist measurement. My belly has a big roll below that, which = extra fat, so I would imagine I am higher than these predict... who knows.... it's all somewhat speculation.

    No change from yesterday. I got in a short workout and run yesterday, but my cals/carbs were still a bit high, I am going to try and get another run in today and really focus on keeping my food in check.

    MY anniversary is Saturday, so I am not expecting really great progress until after that happens (pretty sure there will be lots of italian food and wine to celebrate).
    Happy Anniversary!

    Sweet made my goal....a bit early though. I am starting to wonder if I am losing too fast. Healthy weight loss is 1.5 lbs a week right?
