4/2: 135.8
4/3: 134.2
4/4: 133
4/5: 133
4/6: 131.6
4/7:130.6
4/8: 130.4
4/9: 130

So im doing this thing where I burn all my carb calories for the day (I know that calories burned during exercise will come from a mix of fat/carbs) but say I eat 100g carbs with 20 g fiber I subtract the fiber and try to burn 320 calories [since each g of carb has 4 calories ] through exercise (usually what I do anyway).

this is something I totally made up no scientific backing except they are several who give advice to eat carbs earlier in the day bc we are more primed to burn carbs then and I limit carbs except for veggies after lunch.

Seems to be working

hi Feathers! I've not felt like I qualify for a Feather previously, but now i'm feeling like i'm a 'normal' weight and when I get back from this holiday in a couple of weeks, i'll hopefully join you. Having said that, I still have another 10 days of serious holiday temptations to get through first! So far so good and my new jeans are feeling loose and that I've lost weight since I set off (and since I updated my stats) but maybe a wash/tumble dry will quickly sort that out lol!

Wow Matinee you're losing super fast this month!
