It goes a long way to encouraging yourself, and keeping yourself on track. With the weight loss, congrats. 1 pound a week is a nice safe rate. The tricky part about diet and cardio is quantifying calories in vs. calories out. Right now you have positve results, so you can kind of work back to figure those things out. 1 pound of fat = about ~3,500 calories. So you have been eating less and burning more to the tune of 3,500 calories a week. Great job. Also I have heard a rough estimate for calories burned can be equal to double your weight(lbs)divided by 3.5. The problem might arise when there are weeks without loss, or gain. How many calories did eat, burn? Just some thoughts! -The Happy Rock I glad to hear that you are able to take some pride in were you have been over that last few weeks.
