goooooooooood mornin glenn..a few extra calories might fool the ole body into thinkin extra calories are back in its future...an then you pull the rug out with a low day...keep that body guessin... 

Hi Glenn, guess I have been out of the loop here. When did you change eating plans. I have found that the ONLY way I can loose is counting calories. Here on FS I keep tabs on sodium, carbs, fat, fiber & protein as well as the calories. I try to keep all of them in range as best as I can. What daily number are you trying to stay at. I was at 1500, now close to 1400 but still managing to loose either way. How are you feeling these days? I'm glad you are still keeping up the vocab. words. I have come to look forward to them. Have a very busy weekend going on. Weather has been rainy but, we needed it. I agree with loosin. When I overeat a bit I expect a gain and sometimes am very pleasantly surprised to see a drop. Body gets confused and starts burning. Have a nice evening Glenn and "keep on writing". :-) 

Hi - lots going on in my life. Astrology 'explains' it a wee bit and now I see how. It would take ten paragraphs to explain. The past few weeks I have joined two social groups - one will help me with going back to school and at their site I should be able to start taking classes soon. I will continue doing vocabulary words. NN - I wasn't truly following South Beach. I loved the site there and my buddies, etc. but it was time to get real and that is I'm not counting points so forget WW and it was time to really just count calories. I will aim for 1200 - 1600 until I reach my goal weight. Then I will try to maintain a weekly average of 1800 calories once I'm down to 195 or the low 190s. The good thing is my clothes are getting looser so something is going right even if the weight seems to be stalled around 210. The pain is under control to a degree as I am on meds for it now, there was no recourse out of that. I lose with low calorie always unless I'm low carbing it too or eating too many starchy carbs... Have a great weekend. I will catch up on everyone's journals on early Saturday a.m. before daybreak hopefully or after once I get out of work if I have the energy... Peace... 

Astrology is definitely a factor in our thought processes. I'm glad I don't see the word "pain" anywhere. Have a good weekend and peace to you too buddy!
