Weight 286 this week’s weight gain 1 lb
What can I say, my body is consistant – apples, carrots, and mostly oatmeal this week and sure enough I gained a pound. I did have baked chicken and steamed mixed veggies one night, and a tablespoon of ice cream once (it was a new flavor hubby brought on, it was on sale, and I admit I was week and tasted it). I haven’t been able to get my calories exactly down to 800 a day yet since I am not weighing the baby carrots exactly, and the size of the apples vary of course, and I admit I probably use a little too much fat free dressing for dipping the carrots in.
So no excuse’s, just moving on and focusing on more important issues that are much bigger then my big butt - like enjoying being with my family, hugging my daughter often, and keeping a close eye on the news and what is happening in the world.
Health and Happiness, Lady Rose

This is interesting. I guess I will have to come back and read the rest of your weigh in entries ’cause I wanna know why you are only trying to eat 800 calories a week. Your metabolism is going to slow down too far and cause you to gain weight. Okay, maybe you’re saying mind your own business or maybe your under a doctor’s care… but, if not, please re-consider your calorie intake. No worries on the little treats though – you deserve it.
Have a good week.

Petula – medically supervised diet plans are all around 800 to 900 calories a day. I’ve tried eating more – and I gain tons of weight. I can sometimes maintain at about 1000-1200 a day – but any more then that and weight just piles on. I’ve beeb dieting for about 40 yeaers now since I tried to lose only 5 to 10 lbs when I was 13 years old – by middle age nothing else seems to work but very low calories, and now even at 800 to 900 when I can keep at that level it’s almost impossible.
I had lost over 90 lbs last year, but by late summer I stopped and hit a wall – my doctor and cardiologist just keep me telling me to eat less – so that is what I try to do but 800 is about as low as I can go – I just haven’t been able to get back there on a regular basis – so too many calories for my body and the congestive heart failure which leads to fluid retention – and I have been gaining steadily for months now.
