How does one stay the exact same weight for 5 days when only consuming 130-150 calories a day???
Yes folks, 5 friggin' days of the exact same weight. That just doesn't make sense to me. My RMR is around 1900 calories a day on the very low end no matter which method you choose to calculate it (BSA, TBW or BF%). So even if those measly 150 calories was crap and I did nothing all day, the math works out that I'd have burned a minimum of 7600 calories in the last 4 full days. This, in turn, should have represented itself on the scale as 2.17 pounds. Yet, I continue to come to the scale with a big fat goose egg.
The fact is, it hasn't been crap. It's been at least 70% protein, I am deep into ketosis, have been drinking between 48 and 64 oz of water (yes, room for improvement) and finally, I certainly haven't just been lying around all day. The math my body is choosing to use right now is like statistics was for me in college... It doesn't make sense.
And yes, I'm whining in public and I don't care.

Hey Sheila I am Sue Ann this is a test.....
ReplyDeleteHey Sheila;
ReplyDeleteThis is Sue Ann I work with your mom. I think you are doing great. Just keep up the good work and never ever give up. I also wanted to say the reason that you have not been able to loose any weight the passed few days is because your body is confussed. It is in shock and is having a hard time giving up the weight. Your body is used to having the weight so it is in rebelion stage. Just hang in there and all will go well and you will begin to loose the weight once again. If you would like to contact me your mom will have my email address and phone number.
Thanks Sue Ann! I know that this is what was going on, it's just so hard to have patience. :) But, I have limited my weighing to 1 time per week so that should help too.
ReplyDeleteThanks again. You have helped my mom see that I wasn't crazy for doing this. :) Take care!
I only lost two lbs this week, do I feel your frustration! I know I should be grateful for the loss, but it just seems so LOW! :-(
