I am bummed about weigh-in today. I only lost .6 lb and I know that a little is better than none, but darn it! why does those last few pounds have to be so hard? I want to embrace this diet, but I know I haven't given it my undivided, full attention YET. I was thinking of making some changes to my diet and see how that affects the loss for next week. Caffeinated coffee is going away, and i'm going to work on modifying my carb intake. I did a pie chart yesterday of what I ate, and it immediately pointed out to me that the largest catagory was CARBS. Every day I have stayed about 3-4 points under my daily requirement (which is nothing new. it feels right for my size) and have gotten a decent amount of exercise...that's why I'm frustrated. I'm taking a new form of estrogen that the doctor started me on last week, and i'm thinking its a contributing factor to the slow weight-loss. Then again, I haven't been able to get any lower than this all along, have I?
