194.8 lbs

This is really odd. I have not been following the diet as strictly as I before my vacation, yet I am still losing weight at a decent clip. Granted, almost every meal follows the guidelines, but occasionally I have things that are off the list. This on its own wouldn't surprise me, but I have not been working out every day. I've been working out about once a week. I'm not sure what to think. Honestly, my portions are small when I break the rules, and I'm sure that has something to do with it, but I'm at a loss as to what is happening. I think I need to get my still-packed blood sugar meter and see where I'm at diabetically. That at least would help shed some light on some aspects of my health.

At any rate, perhaps once "the burn" starts, as long as you're mostly following the plan you still lose. The diet plan states that you SHOULD exercise, but that many people find they do not have to exercise to get results. Weird. If anybody has any ideas on what could cause this, I'm all ears. I guess there's the possibility that my portion sizes are such that my daily calorie burn is still exceeding my daily calorie intake. =/ I guess we'll see.

I'm not upset about the weight loss, I just like to understand what my body is doing... =)
