Please leave a comment if you visit my blog. Thank you!

Today's Weight:        204.4 lbs
Yesterday's Weight:    204.6 lbs
Net Loss/Gain:         - 0.2 lbs

Daily weight since 5/30/2011.

I wonder why I didn't lose more weight yesterday? Could it be the pepperoni or the supermarket balsamic dressing (or both, since that was a combination)?


OK - I'm over that. 

And still wondering about losing the last 15 pounds or so to finish this job. I've gotten within 10 pounds, only to bounce back up in weight. For 3 months, I've been in a 7.5 pound range - as low as 198 (a little lower) and as high as 205 (a little higher).


Is this it? Am I in the sweet spot, have I reached my final destination? 


I don't think so. 


When I fully return to SCD, I am going to try a few things - exercising more portion control, for one, and protein shakes for breakfast for another.


We'll see how that goes.


I have to say, while the calories-in/calories-out theory of weight loss is incomplete and harmful, there may be a place in it. 


Or - maybe I've just reached the limit of what I can lose without adding regular exercise into the equation.
