I recorded a new weigh-in and got a lot of support from people on this site for the drop. Thanks so much, everybody. I can't tell the difference between the Journal and the Forum, and so don't know who is reading this.
I have been a little bi-polar on weight gain or loss. Right now, at 158, I'm down from about 185. Most of that loss has been lean body mass, and I long to put some of it back on. So I oscillate from high to low-cal diets. Finally, I decided to consult a professional and have been meeting with Carlo Bruey of Get Right Fitness. He ran a series of tests -- resting metabolism, BMI. He measured my body fat with calipers and ultra-sound and got a 10-point difference: the calipers put me at 12% body fat, the ultra-sound (which is the most accurate) put me at 22%. So now and for the next several weeks, I'm eating to lose body fat. My first month's loss has taken me under 20%, which takes me out of the overweight category.
I think my macros are visible on my food journal. Right now, I'm eating 120 grams of carbs and protein and 50 of fat, for a total of around 1475 calories a day. So far, I've been pretty good at dialing in those numbers right on target. I'm also taking night classes in Exercise Science with Dr. Anthony Abbott at the Fitness Institute International. These courses, plus working with Carlo, have been a real education for me.
