Week Four

The one month milestone. Ok, not much of a milestone, but still, I have been sticking to it. I weighed in at 234.4 this morning. The weight loss is going very slow. I did not stick to my plan this week. I had intended only to introduce a couple of regular meals and continue with meal replacements with the rest. However, it turned out the opposite. I ate mostly regular meals and only the occasional meal replacement. What can I say, I hadn't eaten real food in three weeks. I wanted to eat. I did still count my calories and tried to keep each meal to about 200 - 250. Some did exceed a little and some were less. Based on the daily calories I need to maintain my current weight, 2192, I should be losing weight if am taking in less than 1500 calories a day and working out. It takes a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound. So that means you have to eat 500 calories a day less than you need in order to lose one pound a week. Based on this science I should be losing more than I am. Seems simple but I bet there are a lot of a variables with individuals that make a difference. What else can I do, just keep plodding along.
