No that weight loss is about right for 1700 calories with only an hour and fifteen minutes of exercise.
I screwed up bigtime. My daughter and her boyfriend wanted Mexican food. Since this is my free week, I decided to have 3 Tacos loaded with cheese and salsa and chips and a beer. It is deceptive how many calories are in that food since the portions are small, but I probably had a 1000 calories in that meal alone. I was already at 1800 so I shot way past my calorie budget and gained about 2 pounds.
The blessing in disguise is that I won't make that same mistake in LA. There is simply nothing on a mexican menu that I can eat.

Lost 2.4 pounds on 1200 calories and 90 minutes of exercise.
Good job jumping right back on track. Are you going to stay on 1200 calories?
No, but in week 2, I may increase intake by 100 calories a day from 1600 to 1800 and in week and in week increase 100 calories a day from 1800 to 2100. I don't think that will slow my metabolism and I'll lose more weight faster that way.
That should read "and in week increase 100 calories a day from 1800 to 2100."
I would be careful not to stray too far from Katahn's diet. You don't want to lower your metabolism.
That's not going to happen. I lost 1.6 lbs on 1750 calories yesterday. Clearly I have not slowed my metabolism. Basically I am perfecting the Katahn Rotation Diet, customizing it so that it works best for me.

Fit,
Here's my basic meal Plan:
Breakfast
Pack of Apples & Cinnamon Oatmeal with 1/2 a Banana and Black Coffee
Approximately 200 Calories
Morning Snack
Kirkland's Red Grapefruit Snack -- 50 Calories
Fruit and/or Almonds -- Approximately 50 Calories to 150 Calories
Lunch
Healthy Choice Meal -- Approximately 200 to 300 Calories depending on which part of the rotation I am in; or Fast Food Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/o Mayonnaise -- 370 Calories
Afternoon Snacks
An apple, orange, banana, grapefruit, almonds, Added tomatoes to diet with red pepper vinaigrette dressing or a carrot and celery stalk (with a little low fat ranch and K-Paul's no salt seasoning) -- Approximately 30 to 100 Calories
Supper
Any meal of approximately 300 to 500 Calories
Evening Snacks
Same as lunch snacks or Special K with Fruit (200 Calories with low fat milk)
Beverages
Green Tea, Black Coffee and lots of water.
I usually have a 4 oz. Glass of Red Wine at Lunch and Supper unless I am in the 1200 Calorie Rotation and can not add the 100 Calories in 4 ounces of Red Wine.
Here is my modification of the Rotation Diet:
First 3 days 1200 calories per day
Next 4 days 1500 calories per day
Next 7 days 1600 increased by 100 calories
per day to 1800 calories per day
Next 3 days 1200 calories per day
Next 4 days 1500 calories per day
Next 7 days 1600 increased by 100 calories
per day to 2100 calories per day
This is a 4 week rotation instead of the 3 week rotation of Katahn's Diet.

That's a substantial weight loss on 1750 calories. Maybe you have sped up your metabolism?
Possibly. I lost another .4 of a pound on 1800 calories yesterday. I am on 1800 again today. On Friday I plan to up the intake to 2100 but since I will be in LA then I won't be able to weigh.
Not taking my cpu to LA so I probably will not be blogging much unless I can get my daughter to let me use her apple.
