The last week at 1200 calories! I've been debating over whether I should stick with a 1200 calorie goal for the rest of the diet, since it has been working so well. But I think I am going to up it to 1500 and make sure the exercise goes up. That should come out to about the same results.
Oh, and I've stopped taking my temperature. I've done the preliminary math, and it doesn't look like I have an underactive thyroid. In fact, based on 9 lbs. in 3 weeks, it may be a little overactive. Turns out I've just been eating too much and not moving around enough for 12 years. (Heh...who knew?) I'm still going to be keeping up the recommended diet for the next week, but I already know I'm normal so there's no point in remembering to do a temperature reading.
