After losing less than a pound the week before, I lost a whopping 5 lbs last week and another 1/2 inch in my waist! :banana:

It never ceases to amaze me how your weight can fluctuate so much. The only thing that changed this week, was ADDING 5 more carbs per day to my diet!!! I even had wine on at least three of the nights! Calories stayed the same and the level of exercise also stayed the same.

My weight loss is supposed to be slowing down, not speeding up! No, I'm not complaining! It is just weird. Calories I'm doing fine on, keeping it between 1800 and 2000 per day. Net carbs are now up to 35 per day and are running about 10 to 15% of my calories. I know I need to up the protein just a little. It has been running a little low at 27-28% of my total caloric intake and needs to be up around 30%, which means getting in about 135 to 150 grams per day, while keeping the fat grams in check. Looks like more chicken and fish is in order!
