Week 41 report - down 1.3 lb - 67.3 lb total
all good, Lee

Another week...
This week I noticed that some days it seemed easy to keep within a pretty
low calorie intake, while other days it seemed I had to be really careful
not to go over (which I didn't, but I did need to be very conscious of
calorie limits and exert noticeable will-power).
I think the difference between "easy" days and "harder" days has to do
with
how busy I am at work - the busier the easier it is to stay on my diet
without even thinking about it.
My average daily calories came to 1678 calories/day, which is higher than
most weeks lately, but still under my "basic allotment" of 1700
calories/day. Since I lost 1.3 lb this week this means my CPP (calories
per
pound per day needed to maintain weight) seems to be about 11.3, which is
on
the good side for me - I'd been average 10.5 or so.
My "rolling 4 week average" has dropped to 1.2 lb/week. This is a slight
tick-up from last week's rolling average though. Given the CPP and
rolliing
averages I guess things are on track, though weekly weight loss is quite
small. I'm really not in any rush at this point - though I do have my eyes
set on breaking into the 80s now that it seems to be getting so close. I
figure at this rate I should get into the 80s by my birthday (June 3) -
the
one year anniversary of starting my diet.
My latest weight loss graph is at
