Weekly weigh in

We have both felt our bodies changing for some time, yet the scales seemed reluctant to join in and show the weight loss.  I can't explain it, but there is a real feeling of weight loss.  Despite a weekend of eating as much as we could (using a whole normal calorie allowance), and going to the pub, our weight is continuing its downward slide.  We certainly ate our full allowance for 3 days, and tested our metabolism, ready for our 4 good days.

With this weeks planned meals, we have enjoyed some wonderful food.  After our home made ravioli last night we went for a walk and stopped in the pub.  I was amazed to find when I stepped on the scales this morning that my weight was down one whole pound - exactly the same for my partner.  We had generally been enjoying a gradual weight loss of around 1/2 lb, which we kind of expect after eating this way for over a year.  The only thing we have done a little differently this week is to make FULL use of every last calorie over the 3 days of normal eating at the weekend (that's my 2000 calories and my partner's 2500 calories).  This contrasts completely against 4 days of eating 1500 and 2000 calories respectively.  We've always said it's that 3 days off and 4 days on that stimulates our weight loss, and after this last weekend, and our big drop in weight, we are even more convinced of this.
