Well I had a 4 day period in the middle of this last 4 weeks (so it's been a month since I started) where I literally gained 8 pounds and kept it on for 4 days until it started to go away and I was back where I started on day 1. I have a hard time eating small meals so most of my calories are in lunch and dinner with a small amount in breakfast. I can skip meals (which I don't do because that's a bad thing) much more easily than eating smaller amounts. I've compeletely eliminated any extra eating and any over eating. I've only gone over my calorie count 1 time in 4 weeks and I've been under about 1/4 of the time. I found a different diet that said I should have only 1700 calories (I am on 2000 right now) but my dietician and diabetic doctor actually put me on 2400 calories.. so I guess I am going for the middle.

I am really concerned that I won't do well on the road for the summer. Not just in what I find to eat, but my energy level and some other health issues I am dealing with. I thought if I Could get 15-25 pounds off of me in 10 weeks (and a guy my size should be able to lose the first 10 pretty easily.. I fluctuate 5 pounds nearly every day as it is) but so far after 4 weeks I've lost zero. (In fact, this morning I had gained 3 back again).

Ah well.. the excercise is good no matter what.. and controlling OVER eating is a key. At the very least I should stop GAINING weight.. that's a start. And if I can go 10 weeks with daily excercise (22 minutes a day right now at vigorous excercise bike riding working my way up to 30 minutes a day) I should at least feel better as I travel.
