You're still doing great, jespah, despite the plateau. I can see that you're
very disciplined in your food intake, it's amazing. I have learned to eat every 2 hours something to have my metabolism work constantly (sluggish thyroid) and if I don't cut out carbs altogether, I don't lose weight. I can maintain my weight with carbs but won't lose any.

scrambled eggs, 2 mochas
pot stickers
2 beers, sweet-potato chips
chopped beef and Chinese sausage in rice, bok choy
2 cookies
trail mix

Thanks, Jane! As you know, it can be quite a struggle.

CALORIES 1846 CARBS 277 g FAT 51 g PROTEIN 151 g Sodium: 2384 mg

Starting Weight: 346 lbs.
Current Weight: 208.6 lbs.
Difference from last week: up .2 lbs.
Overall difference: down 137.4 lbs.

The experiment in eating more in order to lose weight has proven to be a miserable failure, although it's possible that I was supposed to gain in order to stimulate losing (which sounds like the old wives' tale about cutting hair in order to stimulate it to grow -- yeah, total BS).

Here's how the #s have shaken out in the experiment to eat about 1800 - 2000 calories/day, versus 1600 - 1800:

4/18/2011 205 lbs.
4/25/2011 205 lbs.
5/2/2011 206.4 lbs.
5/9/2011 207.4 lbs.
5/16/2011 207 lbs.
5/23/2011 208.4 lbs.
5/30/2011 208.6 lbs.

I was last over 208 in April of 2009.

And now I return to eating 1600 - 1800 calories/day and I hope it actually does something, at least that it gets me back to the 205 where I started the experiment at. This has been a painfully frustrating detour, beyond annoying to see just how quickly, and with how little food, everything decides to just go completely kerflooey (I have been going to the gym 2 - 3xweek during this, and walking on the other days; this isn't evidence of exercise slack-off). Gaah.
