FatBet Revisited

Golly, life is just going on to such an extent around here that I hardly have time to blog. I took a day off today so I could practice and run errands and generally get my breath.

I'm kind of way ahead in the FatBet!!! AND we were advised by non-idiot people decided to extend the deadline to a reasonable date. We three matronly types would have had to go on a some kind of dangerous fast or liquid diet to lose 10 pounds in five weeks. So the new deadline is May 6th.

This is our weekly average graph:



The reason I'm way ahead is that I switched to low-carb. (Look at the dramatic rise in the blue line at the two-week point where I did that.) It's just so much easier. No obsessing, math and/or diarying, just eating.

I am a little worried about one thing, which is many people who lose weight on low-carb diets find that they gain it back quickly when they reach their goal. Does anyone have any ideas for how to avoid this? Obviously getting my exercise act together is helping and will continue to help. I even thought that on reaching my goal weight, I would revert to Weight Watchers maintenance plan or something.

So now I weigh 135.8--not too far from my Goal 45 - Weigh 130 or less!!!
