I gained 2 pounds this week.

I have lost 0.66% of my total body weight. I need to lose another 16%. I have lost 4% of the 25 pounds I need to lose.

The weight loss is minimal, and I've also been keeping track of my measurements on fitday. I measure every Sunday.

Neck 13.75 - 13.00 = 3/4 inch down
Bicep 11.75 - 11.75 = same
Forearm 9.00 + 9.00 = same
Chest 38.25 - 37.50 = 3/4 inch down
Midriff 33.00 - 32.00 = 1 inch down
Waist 31.50 - 30.25 = 1-1/4 inches down
Navel 39.25 - 36.5 = 2-3/4 inches down (the heart health zone, so this is great!)
Hips 42.00 - 41.00 = 1 inch down
Thigh 24.50 - 23.25 = 1-1/4 inch down
Calf 14.50 - 14.25 = 1/4 inch down

Total inches lost this week - 0
Total inches lost since starting - 9-1/2

I am taking my supplements, drinking 75 oz. or more of water each day, and walking 2.3 miles on a treadmill at 3 mph 3 or 4 times per week. I do a Pilates class once per week, and a Hatha Yoga class once per week. Next week or the week after, I plan to start weight resistance training on the circuit at the gym.

Here is my plan - I am going to cut my calories from 1900 to 1600, and cut my protein from 130g to 80-85g per day. I plan on eating 129g of fat per day, and 20 net carbs, with most coming from veggies.

I have done this for two days so far, and I have not lost any weight. Yet!
