Well it's been about a month now, and I'm down a total of 30 pounds. I think the hardest part so far is tring to find time to exercise more. I'm finding that on weeks that are slower for me (less fires and EMS calls) the more weight I lose. Monday and Saturday were the only days this week that we did'nt have a structure fire and or EMS call, and I only lost 3 pounds this week. Working on a fire is by far more intense then any amount of time I spend in the gym, so I know thats not the problem, so my conclusion is that I am not consuming enough calories on these days and my metabolism is going into shut down mode! Most of the time fire calls last from 2 to 6 hours and you might get a 5 minute break in there, the Red Cross often brings food for the family and firefighters, problem being it's not exactly SB friendly. I know I should'nt complain about losing 30 pounds in a month, but I know I can do better.

I read over the holiday weekend that if you take one day off per week and eat whatever you want (preferably healthy foods), it helps prevent the "metabolism shutdown". I believe that I may implement this into my own regimen for several reasons.

You are doing awesome. Keep it up. I know we all hate to hear it, but the slower it comes off the more likely you are to keep it off. That is what I keep telling myself. My weight loss has slowed to 1-2 pounds a week which frustrates me because I am following my diet perfectly, but I know in the long run that is best. Keep it up!!
