The-Diet Weigh In Week 8

Breigh July 25, 2006 10

Tuesdays seem to come around way too quickly, but I don’t mind this week because I lost THREE POUNDS!

So lets recap:

Week 1: 0 lbs lost
Week 2: 2 lbs lost
Week 3: 2 lbs lost
Week 4: 2 lbs GAINED
Week 5: 7 lbs lost
Week 6: 0 lbs lost
Week 7: 2 lbs lost
Week 8: 3 lbs lost

Total Lost: 14 lbs

Not a lot more to report this week in regards to weight loss. I’ve pretty much done everything the same as I have been over the last few weeks.

8 weeks chocolate, chips, fries, coke, ice cream and candy free!!

I have one question though, here in NL everything is counted by ‘kcal’ is that the same as a calorie?

    Congrats on the 3 pounds!

    I had the exact same question last week. All the research I did said that a kcal is exactly the same thing as a calorie. So I’m going with that. Kinda eye opening once you start realizing how many calories are in things. WHoly crap any idea how many calories peanut butter has? Geesh and I used to eat it all the time!

    Drinking water this week hasn’t been a problem for you either I imagine. I can’t keep the stinking ice cubes stocked up in the freezer long enough cause it’s so hot.

    Your brave with none of that stuff for so long. How’s your husband holding up? Hehhe I have been CRAVING bitterballen and fries from one of the stands in the center of Rotterdam, and my husband is so tired of hearing about it LOL!

    I was thinking about heading to Rotterdam next week, thought maybe you would want to meet up for a drink in the center?

    Yes… in food/nutrition if you see “calorie” it is really “kcal”. There is a little bit on this under the “Nutrition and food labels” section in wiki:

    Penny – My mother talks about the peanut butter thing all the time. She’s lost a LOT of weight and peanut butter is her weakness.

    I’d love to get together sometime! Barring it’s not too hot of course, I’d hate to sweat all over you the first time we meet!

    Thanks Karl, my mom send me that url as well. I just had this thought all of a sudden like, what if a kcal is 3x as much as a calorie and I’ve been eating way too much. Good to know they are the same though, so I’m on track! :)

    Well I will give you a heads up when I am in your neck of the woods next week. I want to go to the center to do a little look around, but to be honest if it’s like 34 degrees like today it won’t happen. So I’ll see how the weather is next week :)

    I love dutch PB it rocks on toast but I don’t eat it as much cause of the calories hehe
