You will always be a special snowflake !!! 

AW! I needed to hear that. :) 

An ongoing battle I suppose. Our bodies remember the days gone by and react accordingly. Stinks. Yes, you are a special flake. 

Since your RDI is 2600 cals, reduce it to 2500, then if you are only maintaining your weight reduce it again to 2400 cals per day. Experiment a little and you'll see what works for you. 

Trust me. You are "special"..... LOL!!! 

Trust you, Rocker... to be you I mean. Snezica. That's a pretty reasonable suggestion. I'm not sure I have it in me. :D Kidding. That's the approach I'll take. Maybe straight to 2400 though. That's only an 8% reduction. I have no desire to hurry to a given weight. I'd like to stay about where I am. 170 still gives me an ab outline. I like being lean. Lots of energy. 

Just a little tweak should do it. I know you don'[t want to go back where you came from.  

you expected .... what? Try not to disappoint. Got a reputation to uphold you know. 

Don't forget that 1 lb. of muscle takes up less space than 1 lb. of fat. Your body fat % could be less while the scale reads the same. 

Calipers are still saying 13% body fat. Hardly tragic. I'll see what my weigh in is tomorrow. My plan was to wait until 15% but that's another 3.5 pounds. I was 13% at 166 a month ago. I think though there's some water involved. I doubt I've put on 4 pounds muscle in a month. Like... yeah. Not happening. 

Special. You are that! 

You are special and unique don't ever forget that! 

LOL re special snowflake. This makes it official. You're officially back to normal. Welcome back to the land of the normal calorie count. P.S. 13%? Oh poor you! I'd kill for anything in the 20s!! 

And the guys moan when we whine. Boo hoo, 13%. 

You have your prerogatives - we have ours. My wife always says she'd rather be sick herself than have me sick. Too much whining she says. Blah, blah, blah. :D 

Men do seem to whine....:))) 

And what is it with you guys not leaving the seat up? 

Kidding, right??? Walk in there at night and sit down with the lid up. Ouch and it's a long drop.  

I lived in a household of 7 men - 6 sons plus GoodMan...GM used to tell me it was only logical...I should have to put the seat up since there were more of them! 

Too funny, ex life my dh was over-ruled on that one 3 girls and me. Now it's just me, the dogs and bird they don't care. :)))
