I'll take it

So I lost another 1.8 pounds, making it 14 total in 3 weeks. I walked into the meeting feeling very fat like I had gained weight instead of lost. When the lady said "down 1.8" I said, "I'll take it."

The combination of the pancake debacle (see previous blog) and eating out three times this week, made me feel like a blob. But I guess I did OK. Seems eating all 48 points, I will lose about 2 pounds a week. When I ate less points, I lost more. However, according to those who know better, if you don't eat your points consistently, when you reach the weight where you can only have, say, 32, points, your body will hit that dreaded platue (sp?) because it's used to that amount of calories. Slow and steady or fast and furious? Most of me says "FAST!" but that one small part of my brain with some sense knows fast only means for a few weeks. So while I can try to push to lose more weight early on, I know eventually it slows down no matter how little I'm eating. So I'm trying to be smarter about it all this time. If I follow the points and lose 4-5 pounds this week, well then I just give a WOOHOO and assume I exercised more or something.
