So, quick recap....I was stuck in the 138's for over 3 weeks. After 2 weeks being stuck, I decided to give myself a bigger deficit. I changed it to 750 from 500. 4 days with 750 and still no change, then I decided over the weekend to go UP in calories as Jillian Michael's suggests for when you hit a plateau. So I went from eating 1500-1600 to eating between 1800-1900 for 3 days. Yesterday I stepped on the scale and was actually UP to 139 but yesterday was also my super low cal day because I didn't work out and I'm trying a new zig zag chart from freedieting.com. I'll post about that in a bit. Anyway, so yesterday, I ate 1376 and burned 2100 and today I am 137.8. Now, my last recorded weight on here was 137.6 and that was a same weight recording from Aug 21. I have been back up in the 138's since. So I'm not recording my weight again til I am less than 137.6. :-)
Now, freedieting.com is a site with a calculator that factors what you should eat to maintain, lose, or gain based on age, weight, height and activity level. Based on my activity level of intense workouts 5x a week, I should be eating 2100 to maintain and 1700 to lose. It gave me a zig zag option to keep things fun and interesting. On Sundays, I eat 1712. Mondays, I eat 1835. Tuesdays, I eat 1376 (lowest day of the week). Wednesday, I eat 1883. THursday, I eat 1541. Friday, I eat 1712. And Saturday, I eat 1900 (highest day of the week.) I'm trying this out for a few weeks and see if I can get down to the 136's by the end of the month. My goal is between 130-135 by the end of Oct.
