I usually wait until I have lost at least two pounds or so before I post a "Big Fat Update," but I'm noticing that it is taking a lot more work to lose each pound than it was a month or two ago.

It takes an expenditure/deficit of 3,500 calories to lose one pound of fat. I think my body is getting used to this process and is beginning to resist my efforts to get fit.

So I'm stepping it up. Instead of exercising three times a week, I'm bumping it up to five times per week. I WILL be victorious.
