Experiment results

So my two-week experiment has come to an end.  Basically I decided to guess at what I burned and then follow through logging calories for the next two weeks to see where things ended up.  I’m not on CC enough to log activity so I did a super basic estimate, 1700 for the day plus 400 for nursing.  If I did the Jillian DVD I gave myself 200 more calories.  Running earned me 100 calories per mile.  At the end of the day I’d add up my burn and my calories eaten.  I weighed in every morning.  Here are the results.  This is probably the first time I’ve ever had input/output actually make sense with my weightloss!

Weight – Calories eaten/burned (deficit)

130.6 – 1950/2900 (950)

131.4 – 2000/3100 (1100)

128.8 – 2165/2300 (135)

129.0 – 2000/2700 (700)

129.6 – 1875/2800 (925)

127.4 – 2250 plus binge/2100 (+1000+)

?        - 1550/2800 (1250)

128.2 – 1600/2100 (500)

127.4 – 2100/2800 (700)

127.6 – 2500/2100 (+400)

127.0 – 1850/2600 (750)

127.4 – 1985/2700 (715)

127.6 – 1535/2300 (765)

127.2 – 1900/3100 (1200)

126.6 – 1940/2600 (650)

I ended up with about a 9000 calorie deficit for the two weeks and have obviously seen some results!  I’m curious what it will look like if I continue this for another 2 weeks.  I've never been this consistent so I love the fact that I have something to analize!  Yay for seeing some results!
