-0

I just had my first weigh-in for A Technical Approach, Week 1. The result? -0.

I am incredulous. It has now been 7 weeks since I had a negative number.

This is a blog, so I think I'm allowed to say what I'm thinking at any given time. At this time, I am pissed off. Not discouraged, pissed off. I'm going to stick to my calorie allowance today, just as I did every other day last week. But I'm resentful.

Last week, I ate according to the guidelines in A Technical Approach, and I definitely worked out in excess of the guidelines.

Just like I have a really hard time dealing with unreliable people, I have a tough time dealing with unreliable calculators.

According to this calculator, I should have lost 1.5 pounds this week.

According to this calculator, I should have lost 2 pounds this week.

According to this calculator, I should have lost 3 pounds this week.

According to this calculator, I should have lost 2 pounds this week.

According to this formula, I should have lost 2 pounds this week.

So the saga of trying to figure out what actually causes weight loss continues.

There will be no weigh-in next Monday. I will be in Ohio. The next weigh-in will occur on Monday, June  4.

    Joe, I would only say that there are limits to what statistics can do...don't let it get you down. I would be pissed too. But you're on the right path without a doubt.

    Today will be a challenge. I woke up fully rested at 4:30, and don't get off work until 9pm. That's a long day. Plus, I'll be active running errands. Will I do well today?
