Just did a quick analysis of my monthly totals vs weight loss. The all knowing internet says you have to burn 3,500 calories to lose a pound. I am at a Oct deficit of 12,700 which works out to 3.8 lbs. Since Oct 4, I have lost 4 lbs. That is pretty accurate for not being obsessive about logging and tracking.
I love it when a plan comes together.

I've been tracking my deficit, per day, to reach 3500 per week. (at least) My goal is to reach a 500 cal deficit (at least) per day. I find it's more 'tangible', somehow keeps me more focused on the goal. :)

Technically that is true, but other factors affect our weight too. Our bodies are made up of 60% water, so sodium, sore muscles from exercise, medications, gender, genetics, hormones, etc. all can make the scale go up and down whether we have a deficit or not.

No doubt there are lots of factors involved. However, I just found it interesting that the first time I checked the weight loss to estimated deficit it was as close as it was. For me it was check to see if I am doing a reasonable job tracking food, estimating exercise etc.
