caramel corn rice cakes with a bit of peanut butter. yummm. anything with peanut butter = a happy me.

march 15th: 147.8

i'm SOSO happy with that. especially since i ate chinese food last night, and i really wasn't careful about anything...

down 10.2 pounds since jan 2nd.

march 8: 149.1 -- yayyy 140s.

total weight loss for this challenge: 7.9 lbs

i'm happy so far. but the past two weeks or so i've seen no change. i'm getting frustrated.

Thank you for the reply. I've lost 8 pounds in January and February. From 158 to 150 (five pounds in January, 3 in February). I've been at 150 for two and a half weeks, though. And I've tried eating at maintenance for a day or two, hoping it'd get me off the plateau... but it didn't.

I guess I can try doing the BMR thang for like, two weeks. See how it goes. I just... NEED to lose weight for the summer, for myself, and I get worried about 'wasting,' two weeks.

Alrighty. Thanks so much agana. I'll eat up to maintenance today, too, and see how it all goes. :D

Thanks 1kkatt so much for responding. It's not period weight, and I'm pretty sure the calories are fine. I'm sedentary besides my gym time.

And thanks feanor... I was really unaware you could hit a plateau after only 5 weeks of dieting, and only a 5 pounds weight loss? Ugh, and going up a pound before my body decided to plateau is a pain.

I guess I'll try eating my maintenance level... ah. And I do workout 4-5 days a week. Maybe I'll up it. Maybe. The 1200-1400 calories was just for my nonwork out days. I will usually add whatever I burn to 1200 and eat 100 calories within that number for the day.

2/9: 154.2

:( I really don't know what's going on. On 1/26 I was 153.3, and then on 2/2 I was 153.2. Which made me mad to begin with, because I had done really well. And then when I got on the scale Monday, I was 154.2. And I've stayed at exactly 154.2 ALL WEEK. I've done so good, and I have no idea what's going on. It isn't water weight, because I've been 95%-105% sodium all week (which is amazing compared to the usual 175%-200% I get). I'm eating the correct amount of calories. When I work out, I adjust my calories correctly. I've had a 3600 calorie deficit this week. What the hell. I'm really sad.

It's not muscle weight. I don't gain a solid pound of muscle from a total of like, an hour of pilates. I don't get what's happening. I could understand being up from a hardcore work out for a day or two, but this? I was expecting to be in the 140s by now, something I haven't seen since like... freshman year. I'm so angry.

Sorry for ranting, haha. I'm just really completely lost.

so i should just really worry about saturated fats? (and trans, right?)

thanks for the quick response. 

eh, i don't think most of it's "good fat." none of it is coming from chips and cookies and stuff. peanut butter is probably the only "good fat" i have. the other stuff comes from cheese/mayo/random stuff. i have bacon a few times a week.

um, i'm only getting an average of like, 70 grams... (17%)....... which i know isn't as high as it probably should be?

haha.

i'm really excited about the weigh in tomorrow, too. :D my weight this morning was really good for the week, and i've done good today -- so all should go well for tomorrow morning. yay.

start: 157.0

1/12: 156.3

1/19: 156.2

): I was 154.5 on Wednesday? So I'm hoping this is all waterweight pr something... (even though I had a similar amoutn of sodium compared to other days during the week?), because I've been decently good about what I've eaten and had a weekly deficit of 3579 calories. So, I'm confused. Oh well. At least I didn't go up I guess. But I worked hard this week. ): Darn, haha.

Good job talkdoc :) I think (thought? lol) I'm getting the hang of it too. It's beginning to be easier, kinda. :)

alright. thank you so much again, ewwxroflzz. good info.

and thank you contrary, also. that's a very good way of thinking about it. :)
