Our bodies are crazy and do what it wants, when it wants.

okay, I had my 3rd fill wednesday, but I'm not going to weigh myself for a while. It is just too painfull. sigh.

So, Jessie said that 1200 calories is too many, she said I might need to go down to 600 calories a day. This is shear madness. sigh. Well, because I wasn't losing any weight at 1200 calories, my new goal is 1000 calories.

today I was about 1000. Yesterday was about the same. *sigh* I can't seem to get my Protein in then.

Yeah I didn't want to say it, but I kind of thought you might need to go down to 1,000. I know that's what I need to do sometimes to get that darn scale to move. It seems like if I keep to 1000 4 days a week and 1200 the other three and get a minimum of an hour of AEROBIC exercise in each day I'll lose 1-2 for that week.

Remember, this low calorie regemin is NOT FOREVER. Losing and maintaning are two very different things and I do think those of us who have gone up and down for years have certainly trained our bodies to put up more resistance!

So Crystal, at the next Bash are you going to give us all belly-dance lessons? I'd love to learn some moves as long as Lisa & Jenna don't get out the darn cameras!

I am a firm believer in a "cheat day". It makes the other days liveable and even gives you something to look forward to. What I love about the band is that I know from now on whenever I have my "cheat day" I am not going to overeat. I am just going to eat stuff that I won't eat the other 6 days a week.

I am sure if you had those 1600 calorie ice cream, chocolate chip days every day you would not have lost a pound. But you seem predominately on track, so don't worry!! Great job!
