I'm at 225.2 this morning. Slightly up.
Bought a book two days ago called
The Perfect Metabolism Plan: Restore Your Energy and Reach Your Ideal Weight
I have suspected my metabolism is all messed up for a long time. I watched calories, "ramped up" when I needed to, and exercised diligently for 4 days a week for a lengthy period of time. The weight loss was minimal. I'm not suggesting it's non-existent, but at age 56, I think I need more than just "drop calories, and exercise to increase metabolism."
I just started reading it--I paid only $0.99 for the Kindle edition; the paperback is $13.99. The focus behind the book isn't necessarily weight loss, but more of a holistic health kind of thing, which appeals to me on a number of levels--but the weight loss goal is one of them in the book, and certainly one of mine.
I can't recommend it yet, but the only 10 reviews on it are all 5-star reviews. One of the reviews really sold me on the book, where it talked about them almost *not* buying it because they thought at first it was "just" for weight loss before they discovered it was more, and called it an intelligent analysis of the most current research on how to eat healthy, etc.
