Well, I lost my camera, life happened and I regained everything I had lost. I'm back on track and am now 1 pound less than I was 5 months ago.
I've joined a weight loss program, the kind where you go in twice a week and they weigh you and review your food journal. It's a high protein plan, which can be a bit challenging for a vegetarian like myself, but so far I've lost 9 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks, so I'm pretty happy. :-D
Here I am today at 185.

Thursday 9/16 Checklist
I asked my husband to take a candid "before" picture of me today. So, here it is, double chin and all, LOL...
Weight This Morning: 188.8
Weight This Morning: 188.8
I weigh .6 pounds less than I did yesterday!
Yesterday, according to BodyBugg.com, I burned 1931 calories and consumed 1075 calories for a deficit of 856 calories which would be about 1/4 of a pound lost based on the whole 3500 calories = 1 pound thing. That would be an average of 1.75 pounds lost per week... that sounds about right! (Can you tell I'm a total math geek? he he)
1075 calories doesn't seem like that should be enough calories (maybe because we are always having the "never eat less than 1200 calories a day" burned into our brains all the time), but it looks like I had enough food, judging by the pictures, even though I was very hungry last night.
