I weighed in at 178.2. Seem to have hit a plateau and my weight is staying between 177-178 even with exercise and eating under 2000 cal on most days. I have dramatically reduced sweets and may have one day a week where I might have a cookie or doughnut, but that is my excess which is nothing compared to the past. I have even started to eat 70%+ cocao instead of milk chocolate and I only eat 2-4 squares (roughly 120-200 cal) instead of a very large milk chocolate bar filled with nuts and raisins (roughly 1000-1500 cal). I also stopped eating a large loaf of this amazing walnut, raisin, cranberry bread (calories absolutely no idea but I am sure they are extremely high). In addition, I have substituted wine on most days with a 80% vegetable 20% fruit juice which is about 50 cal for an 8oz serving. So it is hard to know why I had a big drop at the start and am now just not getting the 1 lb a week despite staying under 2000 cal/week and getting enough weekly exercise and eating well along with intermittent fasting from dinner to usually 1 to 3pm the following day. Hopefully this is just a phase and my weight will go down. Maybe I am at my ideal weight, but the BMI and other indexes tell me I'm not. Perhaps I just need to be patient as I have drops around 6 lbs since December 6th. However, at the moment a guess the math is not working out based on my negative net cal and gaining weight instead of going down. My next step I think is to go for the body fat test and get a very accurate reading by the DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) which is one of the most accurate scans for bone mass and body fat. This way I will really know if my body fat % is too high and I need to lose more weight or if it is within the normal range and my weight is fine. Maybe I obsess about these things too much as I know from my past I tend to be a perfectionist, which is not a good thing. LOL! Anyway it is food for thought and time to consider my next step in feeling good about my body and weight.
