Total Loss 24.4

Another 2.2 loss, so I'm at 220.8. Kinda disappointing. Yeah, I did have the little cheating day last Friday, but the total cheat was less than 100 calories, so that made 710 calories for that day, at most. The other 6 days were 600 + 5 or 10 for 1 or 2 boullions.

Total Loss 22.2

Lost 2.2 pounds - now at 223.0.

Total Loss 20.0

I know I shouldn't be so happy because of numbers on a scale, but I was thrilled when I went to my monthly doctor appointment this afternoon to find I had lost 3.8 pounds IN 2 DAYS! Two factors involved here: 1) it's warmer and I was wearing only a shirt and no jacket like I was on Tuesday, but mainly: 2) I had to get up to go to the bathroom 2 or 3 times each of the past two nights and my ankles lost the swelling they had on Tuesday. So, YAY! From a starting weight of 245.2 to 225.2.

Total Loss 16.2

Yep, that means I only lost 2.2 pounds in a whole week. Kinda disappointing. Guess I'm gonna have to try to make myself do some exercise. On the plus side, they gave me 24 cups with lids that will become Mrs. Poorbelly's Portable Potion Cups for Lena's Harry Potter party on Jan. 24.

Total Loss 14.0

Well, Tracey weighed me and said I had lost 3.2 pounds, for a total loss of 14.0. Now I see that that doesn't jive with what I was told (or mis-heard) last week. Or mis-heard this week. Guess it doesn't matter that much.

My class was on exercise. (There are only 3 possible topics: exercise, nutrition, or behavior.) What I think I learned: People who diet without exercising lose 75% fat and 25% muscle. One pound of muscle uses 50 calories a day, while one pound of fat uses 2 calories a day.
