Dinah if 3600 calories are a pound. You need to burn this much to lose just one pound. And the average person needs around l200 calories a day to just live. l tsp of butter is l00calories, and apple around the same. And really if you are sticking to your diet you will probably lose 2 pounds of fat a week. Any more is probably water wt. Love Phillipa ps l mile I think is l00calories. Not easy to lose weight.

198/197...
Can't seem to make it budge.
At least I got some exercise yesterday & today.
I am kinda disappointed (oops, am i allowed to be...j/k) because i have to go to the doc for a checkup on wednesday the 2nd...
Was hoping i would have lost a little more by then! I wonder if he will check and see if my cholesterol has gone down at all.
How's everyone else doing?

Went to the doc for my weight check-up...
I've only lost 3 pounds since last time (about 6 weeks ago?)
He said that's fine, but i think it sucks. He says I should only be losing 3-4 pounds a month, for good permanant weight loss. According to his scales I weigh 203, but that's with about 5-6 pounds of clothes and shoes (which I weigh myself without at home).
I talked to him about my difficulty sleeping again, and finally something is going to be done about it...
He got me an appointment with a sleep specialist at the end of the month. I could have a number of problems - insomnia, sleep apnea, and possibly narcolepsy.
I don;t know much about narcolepsy, but I do know I used to always have troble keeping my eyes open while studying, and today I fell asleep watching tv....hmm.
Too bad I have to wait till aug. 30th.
I want to weigh 130 pounds by next summer, but I've pretty much figured out that's not gonna happen. If I lose 4 pounds a month for 10 months, I'll only be 163.
pppppfffftttt.

Dinah it's the heat it's causing you to retain water. The body is conserving it. Love Phillipa

Not any self control on my part. Just hormones and water weight.
On the other hand, I feel a bit sickish the last couple of days, so maybe that will translate to some actual weight loss.
I'm also a bit tearful and depressed, which always helps me eat less.

I think recent weight is easier to lose. I wonder if there's scientific backup to my observation.

I'm starting my diet again for the zillionth time.
I sort of gave up, but now I want to start up again.
How about if we post what we eat everyday? Who's with me?

Ok I'm game.
Yesterday
Spaghetti and meatballs (hardly any spaghetti)
2 bananas
a few pickles
a pickled egg
a handful of Pringles
a salad (admittedly more crouton than lettuce) with Newmans Own Caesar dressing
2 Dibs handfed by my indulgent husbandI'm afraid to do a weigh in. I'm bloated from PMS and from all that salt.

Way to go for posting what you ate Dinah. I think keeping track of what is eat is very important. It lets us control our eating in an indirect sort of way. Posting it can hold us more accountable.
I'm going to post what I eat too.
Yesterday:
2 large cookies
1 waffle-type cookie (it was really really good, so it must have been
really fattening)
1 Pan-Asian noodle meal from Made in Japan Teriyaki
Doritos
Rich chocolate ice cream
3 large gummy-type candies
Rice
Broccoli
ShrimpI really have to change my eating as you can see. Today I have a plan and I'm going to follow it.

Instant oatmeal
Sweet peanut rice balls
Instant noodles
1 All Bran bar
1 steamed corn on the cob
Lots of seaweed snacks from Chinatown
1 bowl rice
Some Thai beefI didn't stick with my plan, except for the oatmeal and All Bran bar. I shouldn't have had the rice balls. Tomorrow I'm going to start weighing my food and counting calories, I hope.

1 package instant oatmeal
1/3 of a large white chocolate and macadamia nut cookie
1 handful of Doritos
2x2 inch pound cake
some seaweed snacks
1 bowl instant noodles
1 bowl rice
Some roasted chicken
Some greens
A few shrimp
A few sips of FrappuccinoI didn't weigh my food. It's too much of a hassle. I should skip the instant noodles, someone told me they are empty calories.
My plan for tomorrow is:
Breakfast: instant oatmeal
Snack: yogurt w/flax seeds
Lunch: Lean Cuisine
Snack: All Bran bar
Dinner: Lean CuisineIf I can stick with my plan for a week, I will reward myself with a movie.

The version I ate didn't seem to have any wine in it. It seemed like a chicken broth base. It appeared to be enormously healthy.
I've just been trying out different things the last two days. I ordinarily get the same things from the same places.
Today I had
Nachos
Grilled chicken salad with mandarin oranges
BreadThat's it. I developed a sick headache and didn't eat anything but a bit of bread after lunch. Slept all day instead.

I hope you feel better now. Did you take anything for your headache? I usually do and I rarely get headaches, maybe 2 or 3 times a year?

I took Frova, then Excedrin Migraine, and neither completely worked.
Fortunately headaches that are resistant to medication are rare for me, and I slept through most of the worst of it, snuggled up with furry white little balls of fluff on my daybed.
And I lost my appetite to boot. Not altogether a bad day.
It added to my discouragement about ever being the reasonably energetic and productive person I once was, though.
