Day 7: 153 (again)

It's nice to see the scale vote in favor of the diet, again...

I'm afraid I just don't have time to post much more than daily weight/calories on school nights, but I did discover that Calorie King allows you to post your actual "diary" of food/calories/etc. consumed, so here goes:

Hopefully, if anyone is wondering at the actual calorie counts that I am posting, he/she can check out my diary at CK and see exactly what I did eat/drink to bring the numbers to my totals. I will post it over on the side so that on any given day, one can see actual foods/drinks consumed.

Don't know if that might help anyone else out there who is trying to self-manage hypothyroid dieting, but perhaps it will. I hope so. If I can find the right balance of nutrients/calories/exercise and train myself to monitor those levels daily, perhaps I can lose weight and feel better without large doctor bills. That is the goal, anyway.

Also, I decided I have to give the diet a couple of weeks before adding CLA; no fair complicating results before I have a baseline to judge success or failure by. If I can just lose 2 pounds per week, I would be at my goal in ...18 weeks? Wouldn't that be loverly.

Incidentally, my calorie count today? 774. I know, not much. I was so busy today I didn't have much time to eat, and now it's past 8. No eating past 8, period.
