To change the topic ... to me ...

Yahoo! .... down another 3 pounds today!

Total for OBM challenge (Since 10/13) = -7
(175 at REPAIR/Refeed end and 168 today). I began serious diet mode in March 2008, with Body For Life food and exercise. In May or June I changed from BFL exercise to Turbulence Training exercise and dropped calories to 1200 measured (not weighed though) and logged in fitday.com, AND did 2 days a week of Eat Stop Eat to keep my weekly calorie average to 1200 kcal.. So I was doing HIIT 2-3days, Jazzercise 1-3 days, and bodyweight and dumbbell resistance that was to my limit pretty heavy (chest press 50 pounds)... and in that 5 months lost only 5 pounds....

Now I am doing lighter exercise, focused on Recovery: foam roller, stretching, and light resistance w/out dumbbells even, and eating a whopping 1375 calories... So now I lost have total 10 pounds in 8 months, 7 of it the past 2 weeks (or 10 weeks if we count the work I did during REPAIR)... Now is that water loss? Is that muscle loss? In my eyes, I have to say I don't care right now: it is PROGRESS in the right direction for a change. It is RESULTS where there were none.
