I don't think I ate enough yesterday. Despite doing 200 crunches on the AbLounge and a Curves workout I didn't loose a thing.....

Today:

B - Weight Control Oatmeal

L - McDonalds Side Salad w/Asian dressing (1/2 the 90 cal pack) and plain McChicken cut up in the salad. *Yummy and much less than the regualr Asian chicken salad

I'd be willing to bet you a million dollars that NO ONE has ever lost weight every single day all the way to goal, even if they were perfectly on plan with food, water, and exercise. Our bodies just have so many things going on inside that food and exercise are NOT the only elements that affect the scale, so don't fret if you go a day or even a week without a loss--your hard work will catch up to you in time For example, if you did a lot of strength training, your muscles could be retaining more water than usual while they heal, which could cause the scale to not go down as expected.

Jill's right. That Tom Venuto fellow who wrote "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" suggests sticking to your plan for at least a week and then taking a good close look at what you did and how it turned out.

My head knows you are right...it's my eyes that study the scale every morning!

From what I've been reading, I should probably be bumping up my calorie intake. I haven't been starving but I've been staying under 1000 a day. My Dr. had at one time said to stay about 600 believe it or not.

Oh...well...your doctor was an idiot Good luck getting propoer nutrition on 600 calories a day Assuming, of course, there was no extreme circumstance that may actually require such a strict/severe diet.

It frightens me that so many doctors do not know the first thing about "dieting." Shouldn't they know well enough that we should be making healthy lifestyle changes, as in for LIFE, and not starving or crash dieting? I mean, who can honestly live on 600 calories a day for the REST of their life? Don't they know that those who starve/crash are MUCH more likely to gain the weight back (and then some)?

Anyway, end of irrelevant tangent
