So yesterday was a very touch day. I had had about 3 hours sleep and had left the house for work at 630am. It was quite an unproductive day due to being so tired. Also, having read a number of blogs, I was inspired and educated to start concentrating a little bit more on my TDEE. There used to be a "small peoples tent thread". In fact, I had commented on it when I was jmousey before I got pregnant. I found that a lot of small people were forced to concentrate on their feed days as well as their fast days but that once they were under control, they lost fairly steadily. With that in mind, I aimed for about 1200 cals yesterday.

I saw my breakdown for the week as being:
Mon: 350cals

Thurs 1200
Fri 1200
Sat 2500
Sun 1500

I'm currently shifting a lot of my mindset and methods this week, so I'm jumping off the weeks and switching to days. This is, after all, a whole life kind of thing, right? Besides, I don't like having...

Good luck, @moderatemeals! I think you'll love this way of life!
Losing 1.6 pounds is hardly a plateau! You are not going to keep losing at the same rate as the beginning. You should be very happy with 1 pound a week!
Thanks for the comment, cblasz.
Maybe this WOE is so successful that everyone's lost the weight and got on with their lives! I can hope ...

Yes, it is terribly dead here, especially lately. I think that people either just have all the information they need or have stopped this WOE. It is a shame. But stick around. It seems to go in waves....
