Weigh In Weds.... err... Saturday

Pretty much since the beginning of my weight loss journey with Jenny Craig my weigh ins have always been on Wednesdays. I decided to change the day because as office manager I don't always get out right at my lunch time and it was becoming stressful for me. Also, due to my workout schedule I always felt like I was retaining water in muscle soreness the night before my weigh in's. Since moving to Saturday I've been doing well but I've come to the conclusion that I have not been eating enough calories for my much busier exercise schedule.

This week's weight loss was AWESOME!! I was down 2.6 pounds today weighing in at 191.8 pounds

This is actually more exciting to me than hitting onederland the second time. I'm about 5 pounds away from my lowest weight which I hit in June 2013.

This week I was ravenous!!! I was constantly hungry and my normal strategies weren't working. What are my normal strategies to decipher between mental hunger and physical hunger?
1. Drink a 32 oz. mug of water to see if I still fell hungry after
2. Drink some warm broth
3. Eat a string cheese or other low cal. snack to see if my hunger persists
4. Get up and walk around the office and see if I still feel hungry

If I had been at home I would have made some green beans or some other non-starchy veggie to fill the void but these attacks were happening in the middle of my workday. Frankly, I HATE veggies. The ones I have learned to love I only enjoy fresh out of the oven. I'm progressing but it's still hard for me.
I ate this week around 1500/1600 calories a day on average. And that resulted in a much bigger loss than last week when I ate between 1200/1400 calories per day and lost about half a pound. My body was getting thrown into starvation mode and holding onto my weight.

So, I may up my calories on myfitnesspal to 1500. I am nervous about doing it but I think it's what I need. I'm not quite certain that my Up band records my calorie burn as accurately as before. I'm lusting over the polar watch but I don't know enough about them yet. What model would work best for me? Will I wear it and utilize it enough to make it worth the money?... I think so but I'd love to know more so if any of you have one please give me your input.

Maybe I'll put that on my birthday wish list.
