Each Thursday I evaluate my weight loss progress because that is the day I entered the contest. My week began with a 1.5 lb jump followed by a steady decline to 182 pounds. Losing 2.5 lbs in one week is a bit steep (most experts recommend you lose no more than 2 lbs p/wk ), but I am not too worried because I think I’ll probably have another spike in the next few days, or at least level out like I did after my post surgery plunge.
When I’m trying to lose weight I try to have water always at hand as a snack substitute. It doesn’t crunch, and it’s not salty, but it gives me something to do and hopefully makes my stomach feel less anxious. And since it takes an extra 17 calories to heat up 8 oz. of ice water to body temperature, I figure I can burn up an extra 70 calories a day if I keep it coming and keep it cold. I don’t know how much difference it really makes, but it’s an easy thing to do that is probably good for me.
