We did a weigh in again yesterday, although this week we made the decision to start doing our weigh ins in the mornings instead of at night. This was the end of the first month of our calorie counting diet.
I consumed 58,560 calories in 28 days or an average of 2091 a day. My need over that period of time I estimated to be 77,954 calories, or 2784 a day. So on average I ate 693 less calories a day than I needed. So based on those estimates I should have lost 5 pounds. I actually lost 12. I started at 203 and I am now 191. So my real usage over that period of time was 102,454, or 3659 a day. The only thing that I can figure is that my metabolism has been greatly increased by the workout class that I have been attending twice a week.
In any case, I'm now only 6 pounds from my original goal. Hopefully I can continue to stick with it. As it is I already may need new jeans. My current ones are getting awfully loose, and I'm on the last notch of my belt.
