9 month nut visit
Wednesday I had my 9 month visit. I had a caloriemetry test which is really helpful in planning my diet.
I was disappointed at the scale- it has been lower, but after 4 days of company and dining out I was not eating my normal fare. Way too much salt in restaurant food. That was Wednesday- today I am down to my regular weight range.
The caloriemetry test is easy, breath into a tube for 12 minutes. It computes the chemistry and rate of your breathing and gives you the # of calories your body needs daily. In my case 1950 to exist at my current weight. So from there Dayna calculated how many calories I need to consume to loose 20 pounds over the next 3 or 6 months. Counting calories, exercise; she says this is how it will be for the rest of my life to loose and maintain.
This is just what I needed. I was getting off track. I now have some true numbers, a plan and am doing "my Daily Plate" every day. From Wednesday I am down 3 pounds already. yahoo!
