Despite not doing as much exercise as I'd like, so far the weight loss thing is going pretty well. After two weeks I'm down four pounds, so I'm at that two-a-week rate that is supposed to be reasonable and healthy.
Doing the Weight Watchers thing, of course you get flex points to "spend" whenever. I've been getting along with only using one or two on week days, giving me a pile of them to use on weekends. The truth is that I'm not being stupid, but I'm not really going out of my way to log food on Saturday and Sunday either. I'm surprised that it's all good on Monday when I weigh-in.
From what I've read, varying the amount you eat from day to day, or at least every few days, also helps to keep your metabolism from going in weird directions. A lot of people who try to be radical and keep their caloric intake way down every day apparently unintentionally train their bodies to think they're starving and slow down their metabolism. By "spiking" your diet with bigger days now and then you keep that from happening. Of course, it varies entirely by person. I hate stuff like that because it's not hard science.
I'm back to the tightest hole on my belt and even my 34" pants are starting to feel a little loose. That mass just north of it probably won't go away fast enough, but one battle at a time. I haven't even ramped up exercise to where I should yet. My goal is that by July I feel better about how I look out in the hot tub, since there's a chance people might actually see me with my shirt off. I guess it couldn't hurt to get a little color by then too!
