Working a lot now and have been eating to sustain energy. I'm eating more calories and some days more sodium which is not as I intended but food preps go out the door with the schedule some days.
I've just made office manager which begins on July 16th so I'll have a little more time. My son and grand-daughter has been staying with me for nearly 8 weeks and it makes things much harder--health-wise and sleep-wise for me. It's been tough going, not going to lie.
I'll get my BP checked this week and post it here. This site helps me stay on track for my goals which were health related BP related. Losing weight helped me thought it was def not my primary reason. I like being alive. I didn't want to go on a bunch of drugs to regulate BP because once you do, it becomes a lifetime relationship. I saw everything folks were doing here. They lined up with the things I had begun a few weeks earlier and as a result, I've both lost extra pounds I'd been carrying around while going to school and I began managing stress which was the true cause of the BP spike.
I've not been able to support the others that I wanted to due to work hours at both places.
I came back to tell you, community support and just checking in to have a look-about, these things are a tremendous help. Thank you and blessings to all of you. Thank you FatSecret for giving us a forum to help us.

losing 0.8 lb a week

I'm about the salt, not the weight so much. I've found myself eating a little sugar and salt (in foods already), drinking less water during a hard day of work and a tad more caffeine--none good for blood pressure but even that checks out great.
I'm glad to have lost another pound. My energy and stamina are incredible until I get home. Sleep isn't as kind as it had been. The difference between then and now? I'm working a challenging job. I do like it, too.
Best wishes to all of you. Stay healthy and have some fun.

losing 0.3 lb a week

Challenges are to drink enough water while on this new job. The hours are odd, too, in that I am usually done eating by 7 p.m. and eating again by 8 a.m. That gives me a 12 hour fast in the evening and sleeping hours. I started this due to an extremely elevated blood pressure, mostly stress induced. I thought losing weight would be a bonus and it has been.
So, I drink the water and tell folks that I am and why I am. I work as a receptionist in an Independent Retirement Community. Many of them eat a lot of sodium rich foods and they don't drink enough liquids. We can provide things for them but they choose what they wish to partake of.
I say it is the extra walking that I'm doing, bouncing around from one part of the community to the next, that is responsible for taking off this last two lbs.
I wish you all your best. I don't have much of an online presence as before.

One last Entry for the week: Eat for the weight in increments.
If you are 300lbs and want to be 140lbs, don't eat for a 140lb person or you will lose valuable proteins, too. You will get muscle fatigue. Set your sight no more than 50 lb increments. Eat the calorie amount for a body no more than 50 lbs less than you currently are. Your weight will drop slowly with fewer muscle fatigue issues, fewer cravings and fewer breaks in weight-loss. Live Strong gives advice that be can followed and I've got an example for a 220 lb person. Think of what it takes to sustain a body at each incremental weight. Establish a consistent pattern of providing that caloric intake. It takes longer to lose the weight but when it comes off, it comes off in the right way, not sapping your muscles and organs but sapping the fats stored. Hope this helps.
"Basic Calorie Needs for a 220-Pound Man
A 220-pound man who isn't very active needs about 14 calories per pound each day, which translates to about 3,080 calories. For a more accurate estimate of your calorie needs, start by calculating your basal metabolic rate, or BMR, which is the number of calories you need each day just to keep your body functioning without any extra activity.
For men, this rate is determined by this equation: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years).
As an example, a 220-pound man who's 5 feet, 10 inches tall and 30 years old has a BMR of 2,122 calories. Multiply the result by an activity factor to determine total calorie needs.
Effect of Activity Level
Once you've calculated your BMR, either by using an online calculator or the equation, factor in your activity level. If you get little or no exercise, multiply your BMR by 1.2, and, if you get some light exercise one to three days a week, multiply it by 1.375. Multiply your BMR by 1.55 if you're moderately active, by 1.725 if you're very active, and 1.9 if you're extremely active. Thus, the 220-pound man needs about 2,550 calories if he's sedentary or about 3,290 calories if he's moderately active."
