Yay! I'm sure a lot of the pounds off today are water, but I'll take it. Seems like I could gain 5 lbs a week lately so losing 5 doesn't surprise me.
I love Fatsecret. Scanning my food makes all the difference. The last few times I tried to keep a journal I quit when it got too hard to look everything up and enter it. I love that we can monitor more than calories too.

Losing 2.3 kg a Week
19 September 2010
Yay! Last day of my first week, and what a week its been. I've felt lousy all week fighting a cold. But I feel so much better today. Yesterday I woke up just exhausted with a sore throat. All I wanted to do was sleep which I did. I slept in, did a few household chores but no exercise. Today feel like I'm finally healthy again. Guess the Zicam worked. Anyway, if I can make it through a week like this one, I should be able to make it through the rest. My biggest challenge is coming when I go back to the mountains. No net there, although I can get it with my phone if I hike or drive half way up the mountain. I'm also used to drinking up there cause it's kinda like a vacation. This is going to be by far my biggest habit to kick. But every week finished while staying on the plan is more incentive to keep it going.
Sprinkles here today. Took an hour bike ride in on and off rain. It was invigorating, although I must get a better wind-breaker. Nylon ones just suck. You get wet anyway. Cleaning kitchen today and getting ready to go downtown for jury duty tomorrow. Will find a good take along lunch. Hope I don't get stuck on a trial :(

It's a beautiful day. Still fighting cold, but don't think it's gonna win. Zicam really is a wonderful med. Feel a bit sluggish, hopefully will feel better enough later to do some aerobics. At the very least think I can do some Wii. It's been a bad day so far. I'm not feeling well at all. Took a nap and got up to have some snacks. I don't really have an appetite, but I am thinking I need to eat more calories. I am watching Thintervention. I am hoping that rest today will make me feel much better tomorrow. Final entry. I only did a bit of brief yoga stretches today and some ab work. I never did any aerobics. I was super tired after taking antihistamines. Hoping for a good night sleep and good workout tomorrow.

Figuring an estimate of your own BMR: I found an interesting formula called
The Harris-Benedict formula (BMR based on total body weight),
Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)
Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age in years)
Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs.
According to the formula I should have a BMI of 1406. This sounds about right for my age. I know I certainly don't eat much and gain weight very easily.
Once you find that you multiply it by your:
Activity Multiplier
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training, i.e marathon, contest etc.)
Total for me is 1687. This sure sounds high to me, but we shall see.
I only used sedentary and I am more active than that.
If you have had your lean body mass measured, then you can use this formula which is more accurate:
BMR (men and women) = 370 + (21.6 X lean mass in kg)
Example:
You are female
You weigh 120 lbs. (54.5 kilos)
Your body fat percentage is 20% (24 lbs. fat, 96 lbs. lean)
Your lean mass is 96 lbs. (43.6 kilos)
Your BMR = 370 + (21.6 X 43.6) = 1312 calories
I found all this information on this website:

Yippee! Day 4. Hip feeling much better today. I keep telling myself give it one more day! Gonna ice it and take IB today, let it rest. Thinking of exercise I can do without working it. Will do some yoga and think upper body weight lifting. Also today is my pushup day. That shouldn't bother hips. Did some snooping on other dieters food journals. Looked for women 40+ who are losing 1.5-3 lbs a week. Please tell me I'm wrong! They are all eating 1000 or less calories a week. I remember doing WW before. You started with more points and then reduced as you lost weight. Makes sense. You don't need to burn as many calories after you lose. I wonder what happens if you start out so low? Do you end up on 800 calories per day? No way can I live with that. Also thinking I have to find a way to maintain this time. I used to run 3-5 miles per day. Obviously I can't do that anymore (back, hips :P). Biking doesn't seem to give me the same workout, but maybe I need to pump that up too. I've been trying to research nutritional information to get the real answer. The key is probably lifting weights! Build muscle!
