Getting frustrated with the stall in my progress. Seems the 282 mark seems to keep pulling me back. Even though I KNOW I am taking in less calories than I burn, I gain the weight back - especially over the weekends (when I don't exercise). I know it is supposed to be calories in minus calories out, but I don't think that takes glycemic index into account. I wonder if certain foods (carbs?) are torpedoing my weight loss?
I'm also lifting weights and while I believe the norm is 2lbs muscle gain/month (for younger males), I wonder if I could be getting some faster due to it being "returning muscle"?
I just got a fitbit, and will be tracking calorie expenditure throughout the days. I use Digifit to track my workouts, and fitbit integrates well with digifit. I wish they both played nice with FatSecret so my food intake could be shared to those two apps.
Had a serious craving for a burger last week, and I gave in. II bought some extra lean ground beef and made my own. It was wonderful and killed my craving while keeping me away from a fast food disaster!
