Well, I have no explanation for this weight loss. I actually thought I was going to gain weight because of eating more, working out every day this week, which is new for me, and in the past I've gained weight from working out. Compared to last week when I was 1.2 lbs heavier, this week I ate more and burned less, so all I can assume is that this is a weight fluctuation. I'm not too affected by it. I'm just happy that I'm now working out every weekday :)
For my and your amusement, these are my average numbers for the last 2 weeks:
Last week:
Ate: 1803
Burned: 2223
Deficit: 420
This week:
Ate: 1932
Burned: 2157
Deficit: 225
This proves that "calories in/calories out" doesn't work for everyone. I am very precise with my food and activity entries. As you can see, I burned more calories last week, even though I didn't do any structured workouts (I was just highly active), and this week I did structured workouts 5/7 days. So the only other thing I can guess is that my body just really likes structured workouts, lol.
I'm not going to change anything about what I've been doing with my food and activity. I'm going to keep eating healthy food when I'm hungry, try to stay under 1900 calories of consumption, and continue working out! I will take this "weight loss" as a weight fluctuation and just be grateful that I didn't gain a lot of weight, which I was hoping wouldn't be the case.
Have a great Saturday!

Well maybe you are seeing the results from last week this week. When you see results (seemingly overnight) it's usually our water weight shifting. Consistency is so key with weight loss. Some people may not lose on the scale for a couple of weeks, but go down in fat loss/inches. Some people have two weeks of weight loss, a gain and two weeks of weight loss. No matter who you are, you have to take in less and move more. But so many factors come in to play in our own bodies physiology. Congrats to you for getting to goal. Learning about your body and how to maintain is a whole other chapter. Just keep trying different things to see what works for you.

Thanks, Suzi. My body, since I've reached my goal, has done nothing but confuse me. I think it means it's happy where it's at and it's just fluctuating slightly. I am focusing on working out more and will be keeping an eye on my measurements, so that's exciting. Just feeling healthier by being more active is a great reward in itself.
