Week 5 - Losing a wee bit too fast

As much as I hate to do it, I'm going to have to tweak my diet and slow down the weight loss a bit.

As of this morning, I weighed in at 229.6lbs, down another 3.2lbs from last week, which was 4lbs down from the week before.  As much as I love watching the weight slide off that fast, it's just too much.

Conventional wisdom says between 1-2lbs per week, and my personal goal is 1% of my body weight per week, which puts me a smidge above those numbers for now.  Except the last two weeks have been 1.4% and 1.5% respectively.  Having one peak over the number I'm aiming at is a cause for celebration.  Having two of them do it means I'm doing something wrong.

I'll concentrate on eating closer to my points value (I admit, I missed it by as much as six points some days last week) and using some of those weekly points on a more regular basis. 

Total weight lost so far is 20.4 lbs.

Down to 31 daily points, and going to be watching the weight watcher site with a hairy eyeball for the next week or so.  They're announcing their annual tweak to the plan on December 7, and I suspect a price increase to go with it.  Now the question is does that include the online plan as well as the meeting plans, and by how much?
