But then it hovered at 84.4 for a couple of weeks and for some reason this morning jumped to 85.8 kg! What is happening? I am not sure what to try at this point. Naturally, no matter what I do, I will not exceed my daily calorie limit of 1700, but I feel I need to change something already. This is getting very depressing. The problem is that I might simply need to eat fewer calories per day. Like maybe 1300 or 1400 instead of 1700. Maybe my metabolism has just slowed down. But I feel like a big change in calorie rules would be "setting me up for a big fall" if I suddenly tried even harder calorie restrictions. Nevertheless, looking at what WW would allocate to me, point-wise, it came to just 28 points/day (which I calculated during my free one-week online trial). That is about 1400 calories/day. Of course WW has those 35 free points per week, which comes to about 1750 calories, whereas I am giving myself just 1000. Mammoth amounts of exercise per day are also just not realistic. I know me. If I do 30 minutes to an hour of walking a day I feel I've done well. Any diet plan has to be something that can be reasonably followed - forever. If it is too cumbersome, then I know I would fall off the wagon. Speaking of exercise, WW also calculates exercise points differently than I do. I have been giving myself full calorie credit for all exercise and deducting exercise calories from calories I've eaten - and have allowed myself to carry this over all week, until I reset. I believe in WW you have to "use them or lose them" the day you do your exercise, right? Also, I don't think WW gives you full credit towards eating points for the exercise you do - doesn't come to like half, calorie-wise? Anyway, conservation of energy is conservation of energy. It's either less calories and/or more exercise. I know it. But I don't know if I really have the will power to make a radical change in a plan I've been able to stay on so long now without going off even one time... So I'm up against reality. But... it is definitely time for a diet tweak of some kind... doug Doug, presuming that you are sitting most of the day in the office, on the UK system you'd be on 28 points per day only: NO flex points on our system! Then you can earn as many exercise points as you like in the week, but you may only consume 14 of them: the rest go down to weight loss.

Unfortunately, they are 3 small cupcakes. More of a tease. I won't buy them
anymore. Plus sugar causes cravings so I try and avoid it if I can. "Stormmee" wrote in message ... I kinda wish you hadn't posted this... not a chocolate eater but that does sound good.

Have you ever been tested for food allergies? You seem to have multiple
foods that your body reacts to in negative ways.

have never been formally tested, the one time I went to the allergist I
tested no allergies for 65 things. I went to a clinic at Barnes hospital in St. Louis... after the test I realized the allergist was uncomfortable... then he says you look so familiar and I know I haven't seen you in my office... I said no but you have seen both of my parents, I give him their names he leaves and returns in ten minutes... and says...:1. your father has multiple allergies and so does your mother. 2. you are sitting here with a dog guide and have indicated you smoke. 3. Your histamine patch show normal. 4. given your genetics and lifestyle you should show positive but aren't, I can do "elite" testing but it is around $10k *back in the 80s* so I said no thanks... then he says take benadryl for 2 weeks every day before you go to bed. then eliminate every single thing you have an overt reaction to and then after six months add one back at a time and see what happens... I tell you all of this because I am rambling and I am in fact to lots of things... odd things like I can eat fresh berries including strawberries, but if I eat even a single berry that is frozen I swell and have difficulty breathing... recently I seemed to have a reaction to black berries that were frozen so I will have to not do that again..

I think allergy testing has come a long way since the 80's. It might be
worth getting tested again. You may have developed new allergies too. There are no allergies in my family history but my sister recently discovered that she is allergic to eggs and shellfish which as a kid and young adult she could eat without any problems. I don't know if it could be menopausal related (she's 54) or not but the timing is about right.

Honestly, I have developed enough coping mechanisms that I am not really
interested in spending the time, let alone the money for the testing... even at their worst, they generally aren't life threatening so trial and error and major avoidance seems to work, I have read menopause can trigger/change allergies, Lee Laura wrote in message ...
