Well... I've read all your posts, chunkyshorts, and all I can say is, keep going. Make sure you're writing down everything you eat, measuring everything you eat in ounces, tablespoons, cups, whatever. No estimating, no eyeballing. Look up every food as well. This is just to make doubly sure that you are really staying within your calorie range.

I would not go below 1500 at your size and with the level of activity you're doing. In fact, you might try 1 whole week of eating an average of 1600 or 1700 cals per day to see what that does. Sometimes if you eat too little, it actually makes weight loss harder.

Stay with it. Don't try upping your exercise--you're doing enough there. Life is not Biggest Loser. Concentrate on the food. That's what I'd do!

Hey Chunky,

Measuring yourself?

I recently finished reading The Fat Loss Troubleshoot and it says that you should track everyday (or have your hubby do it) Your weight can fluctuate.

She gave an example in the book
Her weigh-ins were as followed.

MONTH OF WEIGH INS
MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN WEEKS
190 191 192 192 188 189 190 Week 1
191 190 188 189 190 189 191 Week 2
187 188 190 186 189 189 189 Week 3
186 189 185 189 186 187 189 Week 4
185 188 186 End

The book went on to explain that if she only weighed in on sundays she would have only lost a pound (in her mind)

But if it would have been on a monday she would have lost 5.

So if you are that focused on the number maybe you should track your weight.

Just a thought.
