Jerry that is the best answer I have read so far (that I can understand) - also if you are exercising you are increasing muscle - and muscle weighs more than fat - it stands to reason that weight loss would be slower. (loosing fat - gaining muscle) That is part of my slow weight loss - I have gained an inch on my upper arms and calves - although I have lost 21 lbs and 50 inches overall.
Also now I understand that I would need to decrease calories as I loose weight to feed my new body at the rate it demands.
I expected a greater weight loss - staying on 20 carbs, exercising hard 6/7 days etc. - now I understand better what is happening.
Thanks
