WOW! This article answered every question I have been seeking answers for. Its a shame its not possible to lose more than a pound a week, but the last thing I want to do is harm my health. I am TOTALLY new to the dieting thing so this really helped. So with this water weight, how long till i see a downward trend again?

Can I still lose weight if my glycogen stores aren't empty?

So this happens even if I am still 500 calories under my maintenance intake?

Yay. I was just starting to experience a runner's high for the first time. I'm glad I can continue.

I log everything as accurately as possible. I weight everything. As for the plateau I suppose you could say it was a near complete stop. It's been about a week and a half with no real loss at all. Possibly a slight gain. I have started tracking my weight on paper to ensure that I am not just being paranoid. I have opened…

That was about what I was going to do. I just set my calorie goal to 2000 (1000 calories below my most active point and 500 below my usual rest day burn). Does this sound like a good plan?

But I thought I was supposed to eat 500-1000cal under my total daily burn. Not 500-1000 under my BMR.

one more question. Should I be eating 500 or 1000 cal below my daily burn of 3000? I forgot to mention that I exercise about 6 days a week.

So i should just continue with what I am doing and I should be fine? THATS AWESOME!!! Still though...I will be keeping a close eye on my weight loss to ensure that I continue downward.
