Don't have the energy to add up the cals. I am sure it is fine. Since I had D today I might get a good reading on the scale tomorrow- that is awful! be sure you get LOTS of water when you have D...and potassium... Let you know.

cals= 2175

BMR 1724 + exercise 367 = 2091 - 350 = 1741 food budget

all you meals look good.... even with TWO slices of pie....hehehe

Drinks: 5 cups teeccino w/ stevia & nondairy creamer (50), 3 glasses water = 80oz great

Food & drinks total: 1879

Activity:
45 min shoveling frozen snow and breaking up ice = 259
45 min hatha yoga = 108 (I did yoga 2 days in a row! I'm excited! Hehe.) RIGHT ON!!

I weighed in this morning, and I was back at 125. (Woohoo!) WWWOOOHHOOOO is right!! So obviously my problem was pill-related water retention and not actual weight gain - this was my first month on the bc pill, I had no idea it would do that... now I know.

I no longer have any idea what I'm doing calorie-wise. Haha. I figure I'm going to just figure up my BMR every day as a general guideline... I really don't necessarily care if I meet it or not, but having a guideline and counting helps stop me from binging all day & eating 5000 calories - which is really my goal, I don't want to go back there. sounds like you have a plan....let us know if we can help ya!

If any one can help me with understanding fitday.com that would be great because it said I burned 3062 Calories total just today so I don't know if I'm eating enough...or if that's the way it's supposed to be... I think others have responded to this already....I don't use fitday.com but if you still need help, let me know.

That's still good Shell,
No gaining is a good thing
Remember it was 4 lbs last week no, no loss or gain last week too...and 3 lost the week before.... so you can't expect to do that every week.... I know....
You're still our queen of the weight loss board... hehehe... thanks!
Will be interested in what your PT has you do different than what you are doing now. I don't know...she told me last night that #1 goal is weight lose and then we start with the "Lean Path" = Learn to increase metabolism so I can lose weight once and for all. By combining cardio, resistance training and nutrition, I'll be slimmer, trimmer and stronger. I can't wait.... and I just love this girl who is going to be helping me....we TOTALLY click.... that is the reason I took the cycling class too...she was the instructor and asked me to join her. She even asked me what time I was gonna be at the gym on Sunday so we could work out together (free)..... she is my age...and just such a POSITIVE person...she is contagious!!

Thanks Auntie Kandee for taking the time out to comment on my report...it means a lot to get feed back.
