Made some adjustments.
1. RESEARCH. Found that for my BMI to be within normal range (btwn 18-25), my weight should be 121-164.
2. CALCULATE. Then, I did a bit of calculations and adjusted daily caloric goal - reduced to 1200.
- 1000 cal should yield 2 lbs/wk loss. 1500 cal should yield 1 lb/wk. Knowing this will help me with decision making.
3. BABY STEPS. I split my overall weight loss goal in half.
- So, 20 lb loss will be my "near-term" goal.
- Once I axe those 20 lbs, I'll then work on the final 15-20 lbs.
- I think/hope having 2 steps - with each a bit less daunting and more do-able may work out well for me. I looked at some of my buddy's pages and saw some of you have done that. Maybe it'll work.
4. RATIOS. Finally, I adjusted macros to 40-30-30. I feel better and fuller for longer with higher protein intake.
Maybe these tweaks can help me make some real progress.

178.0 lb Lost so far: 10.8 lb.    Still to go: 33.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
