but.... the math? (Cycle 3)

I hope I haven't used this image before... I DL it a while ago for this blog.

Anyway... the day after I posted YAY 140.5, i regained about 2.5 lbs of what I assume was water weight post laxatives... which almost undid all the good the laxatives did. wtf. *sigh* I need to up fiber/cals again once this 02468 is done so that I can have moments by myself... anyway, I was stuck at 143 for two days, and today - weigh in for end of cycle three, thank goodness, saw a drop again in overall number (Fat has been moving down consistently at least). 141.7 today..




So, Start of Cycle 3: 143.9
                       End:   141.7

2.2 loss, not bad. but not as good a I was hoping, because I was pretty sure the 143.9 was the result of backup.. ah well.

Food was no problem but exercise was. On monday I overestimated how many C i would burn while basically at rest. Seems my metabolism has changed... Tuesday, had a big event related to trying to find a job and it interrupted my exercise schedule... so made sure I hit over 2100, and then said the rest can be made up on wednesday - which I begrudgingly and successfully did. yay for that.

Halfway done now. 3 more cycles to go. Have found myself arguing with ED more recently. But it wins, so really whats the point? My legs still feel like Jello from yesterdays five hour walk... and yet within 45 min I will embark on a 3 hr walk (at least). ah well.

p.s. title of post is b/c I should have lost more over the last 15 days.... currently, 7.2 lbs lost, but should be 2000*15=30,000  30,000/3,500 = 8.57 so 1.3 lb short.... which would bring me back to 140.4 which would have been perfect.

I love the math! I'm actually surprised it worked out so closely. 7.2lbs in 15 days is certainly nothing to sneeze at - that's 15lbs a month, 45lbs in three months! Good luck with the next cycle.

That is an amazing loss! How are you able to burn so much?

Bella Thanks =] I find that math usually works out pretty closely but rarely perfectly. 3500 is calls to burn 1 lb of fat but body is always using some carb and protein too... I'm always in ketosis, so most of my energy comes from fat, but even in Keto not all of it will. Ah well.

Nasimiyu - welcome to my blog <3 the number i list for burn includes BMR, which is currently 1~1.1c per minute, so my activity is only making up about 1k of the calories. I have a body media fit (see FAQ for more info) which measures my burn even when i sleep. The numbers I'm posting are based on it's reports to me.

oh and to answer your question about how I burn it.. I walk... 3.5+ hrs a day '-';
