    05/31-178.7 It's funny. The majority of folks believe CICO is the standard for weight loss. And it makes sense. However, now that I'm logging daily, I am becoming a believer that the food choices for those calories still impact the speed of that loss. Normally, I don't eat much bread, certainly not two days in a row. But man, that pretzel bread cheeseburger was even more awesome than the deep dish pizza the day before! Walked 14000 steps and other activities that earned over 800 more calories yesterday, of which I ate NONE of. Weight stays the same. Today I go back to the good carbs. C'mon scales...@littlecinnamon and I need a whoosh!

    CICO is definitely the key to fat loss, but weight itself can be many things. When you eat carb heavy meals, you tend to retain water. When you eat salty meals, you tend to retain water. If you exercise a lot, you tend to retain water and even gain mass through muscle growth (slowly over time). I'm sure there's many more factors and I'm oversimplifying this even still.

    When your body sheds that water is typically when you see your whoosh. :)

    @deepwoodslady - condolances to you on the loss in your family, I am thinking of you at this very sad time. I know how easy it is to turn to food, but try your best to limit the damage as you will regret it in the future. I know what I say will not make it any easier for you, but even so I am sending lots of virtual hugs your way. Chin up chuck !!! :*
