Interesting Graph
http://techmart.com/~cubit/Chart60.gif
This is a four month Fitday chart, which is totally unexpected. The last four months is a downward curve. I was expecting a ski slope shape to the graph. I made two changes during this period. The first change was made a week before Christmas. I changed from 150 to 200 calorie meals every 2 or 3 hours to a pattern of 60 to 100 calorie meals every hour. I did this about every other day. You can see Christmas week on the chart as a line without the data dots just to the left of the middle. I was out of town for Christmas week, so there was no data entered. The second change I made was about a month ago. I began using NoSalt to add potassium as a supplement. My monthly averages of calories per day did not change much through this period: November: 1541 December: 1550 January: 1489 February: 1394 My calories reduced, but would only account for a smaller change in the chart.

My rough math says that the calorie change was about right to account for the slightly steeper slope on the right - 150 cals/day is about 1.3 lbs/month, you went from 10 lbs the first two months to about 13 lbs the second two months - about 1.5 lbs/month more. Oddly enough, the fact that the math *works* surprises me :-O |

What would a ski slope shape be like? I would have thought that a good slope would be mostly downward, like your chart, until you get to the end. Of course, I don't ski, so I really have no idea.

Did anything in your exercise change? What obout your macro-nutrient ratios?

A ski slope starts steep and ends at the bottom with a flat area. The chart shows an accelerating rate instead. Did anything in your exercise change? What obout your macro-nutrient ratios? My exercise reduced from twice a week to once, and then I injured a finger and stopped for a while. I just cancelled my YMCA membership. Macro-nutrient ratios are still the same: 66% fat, 8% carbs, and 72 grams of protein (21%) |

I think the overall slope will be more determined by one's motivations to lose weight, much more than anything else. Weight loss by no means has to flatten out. Did anything in your exercise change?
