Default Week 41 report - down 1.3 lb - 67.3 lb total

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 http://lerner.net/diet/weight20060317.jpg

Here are the stats:

* Week 41 / Day 287
* This week's loss: 0.6 kg = 1.3 lb
* Weight (kg): 125.0 - 94.4 (minus 30.6 kg)
* Weight (lb): 275.0 - 207.7 (minus 67.3 lb)
* BMI: 41.3 - 31.2
* Percent body mass lost: 24.5% (getting close to one-quarter gone!)
* Percent complete to goal: 67%

Well, what I do is:

1. Take my goal weight in lb.
2. Multiply by 10.5.

It's the "10.5" that is different for different people though, depending on
your average metabolism and level of average daily activity.

Congratulations on another successful week.

I find myself hunting for something to eat on those afternoons I'm not busy
at work, too. Lately I've used those slow afternoons to clear out my office
or just take a short walk around the campus. I'm one of those boredom
eaters

Me too - for sure.

I do continue to get the munchies in the 3-5 pm time period. So I usually
have a couple of hundred calories of something then...

Add to this any calories burned from exercise and you'll have the magic

I've never seen that equation before!

Anyway, I tried it and entered my numbers and got 1680 calories - almost
exactly the same as the 1700 calories I set as my daily limit. Interesting!

Is 153lbs really your goal weight? Without a substantial amount of
upper body muscle that weight will probably look more frail than healthy
for a male of average height, IMO.

I like it because it accounts for metabolic changes with age.

Here's the womens version for your tool bag.

Women: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x pounds) + (4.7 x inches) - (4.7 x age)

Remember that both the men's and women's formulas are for a body at
rest. Get out of bed and allowed calories start increasing.
