Friday/Journals
So today I was disappointed to be up half a pound. I thought I would cross the 215 threshold. Instead, I am up to 215.6. I figure as a motivator to eat right and get exercise, I will open myself up to public ridicule/support by noting that my food and activity journal is public here.
Anyone want to join in. I did this once before with a bunch a guys. We called is shame-full weight loss. The "shame" part is supposed to be a motivator and a tool, not really a judgment.

I agree. Probably just water weight. I have been steadily losing 1/2 to 1 1/2 pounds a day for the past week. All of a sudden, I'm up 2 pounds this am. No change in my diet or acivity. The only change... I had a subway sandwich the day before with salt & pepper on it. Keep doing what yur doing.

I started at 335, and I've been stuck at 240ish for the past month. I've been eating about 1800-2000 calories per day. I read that when you eat too few calories (your 1438 is pretty low) your body goes into "starvation mode" and does its best to retain what fat it has.
For the last three days I've upped my consumption to 2500 calories to test out this idea. It's too soon to tell, but I've gone from 242 to 239 since.
(I'd post my log for you, but I use FitDay PC and haven't paid for the premium account here.)

Thanks. I know 1400 to 1500 calories is low and I risk the metabolic slow-down, but I thought that exercise offsets that. I'm trying to burn a lot of calories on my bike or elliptical. This was a bad weekend. A kid's birthday party in my family is a food disaster.

I am off for a week-long business trip in Asia. I'll try and post my food if I can figure out what it is. Business trips are bad: generally lots of food and some alcohol. Today, I hiot 140, which is six pounds since 1/1/10 and on track.
220>114>180 15%
