I would like to stabilize at around 178. This is four pounds more than where I am at right now. That way I can still fit into my new wardrobe. So I agree with you. I am getting a bit “a n a l” over this. I need to gain some weight before I go back to the numbers. I still will need to exersize some in order to keep that extra weight from being entirely fat. So I will cut down on my exersize to two miles every other day. My concern is gaining too much weight, but I apparently know how to lose weight. So over the longer term this should work out.

3000 calories a day. WOW. Here comes the occasional banana cream pie, at least half a slice, and potatoe pancakes. I will also pick up a couple high calorie meals at TJs for this week. I still will continue to track my calories burned and calories consumed just to know where I am at.

PS I am still tired from yesterday.

Update: I have purchased three high calorie meals from TJs. I would of purchased more, but I was concerned about the money. However, it came to only $14. I have done my menu for today. It took some effort to come up with a meal plan that is 3000 calories and still be able to eat all of it. MFP tells me that if every day is like today, I will weigh 181.9 in 5 weeks.
