Great job Matty, I keep an eye on your progress with some amazement.

I must say though, that at some point it would be worthwhile to slow
down your weight loss a bit. 3.5 lbs per week is pushing it and there
is no reason to be in a great hurry to lose weight. This would be a
small adjustment to your plan.

i

How would I accomplish this? Increase my calorie intake? Right now I am at
2000 calories daily during the week and 2500 calories daily on the
weekends.

I was planning to increase my calorie intake in October/November for the
winter...

Thanks for the encouragement and advice!

I'm curious as to why you plan on increasing the calories for the winter. I
find I'm less active during the winter and usually have to keep an eye on
the calories.

Your current plan seems to be working fine. Your weight loss rate is still
less than 1% of your total weight and considered very reasonable for your
current weight.

I figure with walking in the cold weather with a coat, hat, balaclava, &
boots that I'll be expending more energy, plus the extra calories will help
boost my metabolism and cut down on the chance of plateauing(according to
information I've gathered from previous posts - if I am wrong please correct
me).

I plan on cutting down my walk route by 1/4th when the snow flies(we have
heated sidewalks downtown that cut off 3/4ths of the way of my current
route), but the extra weight of the winter clothes should make up the
difference.

I would eat slightly more, of the foods that you like and that are
rich in nutrients... Say, 300 calories more per day. It would make
your dieting a bit more pleasant, not that I suggest that it is not
pleasant for you...

i

Ig,

see the previous post I left in answer to Bev's question and let me know if
I'm right in my thinking.

Wow...heated sidewalks! We certainly don't have those around here. IIRC
you live much farther north than I do. I'm in southern Ohio.

We've won a couple of 'beautiful downtown' awards because of it. It's nice,
but kinda of a pain right now, they're in the process of extending the
heated sidewalks past my office building so the road to work & sidewalks
will be torn up for a couple of months. Should be done by late October (I
stress 'should')...
