From bk:
I have never bought this one meal a day and your metabolism slows down because it things you're starving business. I may eat one nice-sized meal a day, but I'm not starving, and I do have things like no-fat low-cal fruit popsicles later in the evening. And it's not like I didn't do this exact same regimen two years ago and I know exactly what I lost per week during that diet period. This is extremely frustrating. I'm going to keep running because I feel better for having jogged, but I'm not sure I can keep up this staying away from certain foods that I like if I'm not going to see results - that's just too annoying. This last two weeks has been a total waste for me, diet-wise. No, I didn't gain, but losing at the rate of a pound and a half every two weeks means I'll be on this diet for over a year before I'm where I want to be - it's never ever taken me more than three to four months to lose exactly what I wanted to lose and that includes two years ago.
bk - How are your clothes fitting? If they are feeling looser, then trust that. You are most likely putting on muscle weight due to all the jogging you have been doing - and the muscles in your legs are the "bulkiest" ones in your body.
*And the reason you could
not be feeling hungry could be due to the fact that your body does feel like it is starving, so it is holding onto the stored calories longer for "survival".
**On the cruise right now, I've been eating three meals a day, plus two snacks each day, and I can tell I have not put on any weight. -I'm also limiting myself to one dessert a day, and foregoing the bread with my meals. In fact, that's what I've been doing for the past four weeks, and I've dropped seven pounds.
***What time of day are you weighing yourself? The "experts" say to weigh yourself in the evening for a truer gauge of your weight. However, since you're usually your lightest in the morning, go right to the scale as soon as you get out of bed, and check it then.
