Losing Momentum--Too Few Calories and Putting on Weight

My first week on the diet was great!  I was pretty consistently eating 1200-1400 calories and 65-75 grams of protein and I lost 6 pounds in the first week.

Then work got very hectic and I lost my appetite and had a day when I ate under 1000 calories.  As a result, I put a pound back on.  I guess I dropped too far below my metabolic rate, and my body went into starvation mode and held on to everything I ate or drank.

I am now focused on staying in the target range to get my weight loss back on track.  I am also adding some weight training with a kettle bell each day, and drinking more water.  More on that to come in future posts.
