One thing I've found is that I tend to 'slow down' when dieting, instead of losing weight. I guess my body decides that it should conserve energy.
Obviously, I need to exercise more while I'm reducing calories.
Just back from a five-day vacation. There was no way to avoid eating out and attending potlucks and ice-cream socials, but I managed not to binge and I'm rapidly re-losing the few pounds I gained.
One realization is that I am always going to have to watch what I eat - if I lose weight so very slowly when I'm on 1200-1300 calories a day, then my basal metabolism must be very low.
