Week nine on the Extreme Fat Smash Diet
I can now say the biggest weakness to the Extreme Fat Smash Diet
That being said, while I was at BlogHer, I stuck to fruit, some eggs, Balance Bars, lots of water and herbal tea. I tried to eat every few hours. But I did indulge at the parties, went out to eat with the food bloggers, and drank a lot of beer and wine. The result? I came back home weighing 4 pounds heavier. Ugh!
Then I remembered what AOL Coach Jillian Michaels said at the BlogHer07 AOL Body breakout luncheon – there is no way you could gain that much in a few days. To do so you’d have to eat over 10,000 calories every day. You are retaining water!
(Jillian is terrific in person. She’s just like us – tempted to overeat and not exercise – really down to earth, smart and funny. And yes, she’s gorgeous, too. Here are some other bloggers impressions and photos of her – Pajamamama.com, Yet Another Weight Watchers Blog, The Amazing Adventures of Diet Girl, Sassafrass, and The ELFF Diet among others.)
That being said, three pounds came off the scale within a day. A one pound weight gain seemed a bit more realistic. Still after almost a week back on the Extreme Fat Smash diet and exercising (which I couldn’t do in Chicago except for walking, since the gym opened 30 minutes before the conference started, dammit) I’m continuing to lose weight. I’ve now lost 10.2 pounds total. I was 151.2 at the last weigh in, then add a pound from Chicago, so 152.2. Today I’m at 150.8 – a 1.4 loss for the last two weeks.
Another issue is that I didn’t take my Pilates and yoga classes this week. Just too busy catching up and I totally spaced at yoga showing up 30 minutes early and thinking that the studio was closed. (I left my mind in Chicago, I think.) However, I have added another yoga class to my workout. It’s at a new studio for me and I hear it’s a good workout, not just a good stretch. We’ll see.
This Week’s Numbers
From the body fat estimator:
Waist size at narrowest point: 30"
Waist size at your naval: 34"
Hip size at widest point: 41"
Neck at narrowest point: 13.5"
Height: 5′ 3"
Weight: 150.8 lbs
Using your measurements of a 30 inch waist and weight of 151 pounds your body fat percentage is estimated to be 32.82% using the U.S. Navy body fat formula, or 34.41% using the formula developed by the YMCA.
Week one’s results were 39.30% using the U.S. Navy body fat formula, or 40.10% using Y’s formula. I’ve dropped 6.5% body fat so far. Not much change from last time however.
My BMI numbers:
My starting BMI: 28.6
My current BMI: 26.7
I’m still in the overweight range of 25-30 BMI. I’d need to be 141 pounds or less to be in the optimal range.

Excellent progress! I’m trying to just self-regulate rather than adhere to any particular diet, but any progress gives me hope, so keep at it!
Sounds like you are back on track and doing great
