Report from St. Louis
Hi, people. Well, I've been in St. Louis for two weeks now. And my
weight continues to creep up. This morning it was up to 87 kg! I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. This morning I ordered one week's worth of Nutrisystem meals. I can still do this while sticking to my basic 1500 calorie diet plan with bonus calories and excercise, because all the Nutrisystem stuff has calories on it. I figured it would just give me some other samples of good portions and add some variety to my diet. Plus it looks like it's all conveniently single-portion stuff. On the bright side, I finished two full years on my diet last week. doug |

I've gotten a lot done - ordered a carport for my house and got the building permit, bought a used car (!) and even ordered some furniture. Does humidity have anything to do with weight loss, or were you just talking about the weather? doug |

humidity can cause bloating in both sexes, and if you are doing extra
physical work that could account for several pounds, Lee, waiting to get together if you have the time doug lerner wrote in message oups.com...

Yes, my weight is definitely creeping up. 87.8 kg this morning!
What am I doing wrong? I don't think I am overeating. I think I am doing whatever I have always done on my U.S. trips. doug@starting to panic |

I think I am doing whatever I have always done on my U.S. trips. doug@starting to panic My weight loss plateau - and now creeping gain - can be traced historically to two events I think. (1) Last October my dog, Tao, passed away: http://lerner.net/blog/tao-1992-2006-movie/ Not only did I use to walk him multiple times each day (4 or 5 walks per day were not unusual) I never counted those walks as "exercise calories". They were always just part of my daily routine. Plus there was the incredible stress with dealing with the final few months of Tao's life. (2) Around the same time I started counting all walks - not just special "power walks" towards exercise calories. I guess the combination of both events is what is really causing the problem - not enough exercise plus counting too much of the exercise I do towards bonus calories. doug |

I just try to walk as much as I can every day five times a week. You are just going to have to start walking alone unless you have another dog. It is getting really warm here, 100 degrees tomorrow, but I walk from 6:45 until 7:30. When I have someone to walk with me I walk for an hour. I will try to do a few evening walks too. Audrey |

I think I can't sustain the diet forever without counting ANY exercise
points. What I will try to do is count ONLY exercise points for "intentional exercise", like exercise power walks or cycling on an exercise machine. That would be back to what I was doing before changing the way I counted exercise at the end of last year. I don't know why I ever let my friend convince me that shopping was worth 3 calories a minute. doug Doug, I just don't count those exercise points.

I decided to try counting exercise points like I used to before the
end of last year. In other words, no counting "shopping walks" or anything but "designated power walks and cycling". I know it's just a coincidence, but I lost 2.2 lb (a full kilo!) since yesterday's weigh-in, so I feel like I'm "back from the brink". doug |
