Weekly Weigh-In - Aug 24th, 2008
The Sunday to Sunday loss this week is 1.6lbs. I’m in the middle of TOM so it’s possible I’ll see a little more off tomorrow as well. The 9-week loss is 18.0lbs (2.00/week) which is usually the ‘number’ I look at to see how things are going overall. I’m actually considering dropping my calories slightly. When I crossed the 300 pound mark I was doing 2150/2400 in calories and was going to re-evaluate at 290. When I hit that point I decided everything was good so kept the levels up. I did the same at 280, however, with my activity level likely to change in September I think it might be a good time to consider it again. I’ll likely run another week at the same calorie levels and look at it as a change for September 1st. The other little compulsive number I look at is how many days I’ve been ‘on plan’ primarily with food. I still consider the maintenance week ‘on plan’ since I accomplished what I wanted to. So, since I started keeping track this is day 227 on plan with food.
Wow, You are still working hard at it and having steady Success!!! How Cool!! Congratulations! …I love the recipes too… My Zucchini chips came out excellent…and you are correct they really shrink down…6 large zucchini made a bag of chips that a sandwich would fit it…with some extra room! lol but they taste delicious!!! thanks for sharing!
Woooohoo you’re doing so great!
You’re gonna pass me up, you’re zooming so steadily along! =D Congratulations!!!
bldblue1966 - glad you enjoyed the zucchini chips. My zucchini are more slug bait than anything since we’ve had such a wet year. I also think it’s probably a bad spot for them (but have another picked out for next year).
eileen - Even I’m a little surprised at how steady the loss has been. I’d expected a plateau but now I’m thinking that the planned diet break I took is helping me avoid that. I do plan to continue taking maintenance breaks roughly every 12 weeks.
