I'm just getting back on my diet this week, which is why my weight drop was so drastic. I am a big eater so the first week that I am eating the proper amount of calories and exercising, my weight dumps. I've been yo-yo dieting for too long. I have many food allergies and must eat whole foods, in a house of junk food junkies and a low budget w/high stress. I had lost all my weight but in my adult years I have been constantly dieting. I'm now 6 years post-meno which makes things harder but not impossible. I saw my doctor last week and my BP was borderline high. Doc said if my BP is not down in 3 months he'll medicate me. I'd rather lose the weight anyhow and my BP is down already. I also had to give up wine, which I enjoy relaxing with but get used to maintaining without. It's not as fun though. Alcohol just totally kills my willpower.
ChitChatNine- I gave up 'sweet' totally and exchanged it for fruit. You'd be surprised. Yes, I do have sweets on occasion.
Elaine1961, our figures are similar- I try to eat between 1200-1500 (max 1600) and like to burn around 500. I'm only 5'4" tall.

Finally, after 2.5yrs of unexplained weight gain I have lost a good am't of weight this month .. some good stress helped by no time to eat snacks, I have switched to Equal in my coffee and that has lessened the sweet desires, too.
My Vitamin D levels are back to normal and now I'm really wondering if the severe deficiency I had in the Vit D dept was part of the unexplained 25lb wt. gain? I'll never know, but have used this past month as a stepping stone to maintain what I'm doing.

I have had a really good week, With the help of the food and exercise tracker i have discovered that if i eat around 1400-1500 cals and burn around 500 a day my body responds to this well, if i exercise more or eat less I tend to gain,I think its all about getting the balance right between food,water,exercise and sleep, And I have, this week anyway,
