Not the best week in terms of weight loss as the scales have been up and down for some reason but I did manage to lose 0.8lbs and I suppose a loss is a loss. My body seems to be fighting against this after so long. I'm going to give it a couple of weeks and see where I get to as I won't do this diet for a less than 1lb each week and that's 2 weeks out of the last 3 that I've had that.

Well done on the loss BG, have to admit i agree with what you are saying about giving it another couple of weeks, it must be fustrating you now after doing so well.

Maybe your metabolism needs a kick up the backside

 

[BordersGirl]

I'm sure my metabolism is rebelling as it started to rebel approaching Christmas too but I'll keep on going for another couple of weeks at least as for one thing I haven't decided what I want to do next and need to ensure I have a good plan around it . If only we could see into the future. I'd be happy to take a bit of a break soon if I thought it would kickstart my metabolism but I don't want to do that if it won't.

And for any newbies please don't think that you'll get crappy losses also. I've been on this for a long time now and I'm also a slow loser. There are many more people who get much better losses than I do so gauge your potential losses by what they lose, not me

 

[Suze012]

You must be coming up to 8 weeks solid without a break maybe u need a wee 'add a meal' week to kickstart your metabolisim again? Good luck with whatever u decide x

 

[LauraZee]

As a newbie I'd be more than happy to gauge my losses against yours BG, youve done so well! I think if you add a meal, but keep it controlled, you know you wont come out of ketosis but the extra protein and calories should help. Maybe give it a go to see if it helps.
Well done for not getting too downhearted though, you know its going to keep working sooner or later!

 

[tinkerblonde]

I agree with Laura , BG your losses are inspiring.

BG, I agree with the others, if the weight loss doesn't pick up, you might want to consider an add a meal week. Still low carbing of course, but having a bit more than you are currently eating.

It is frustrating for you I know and if like me, you feel as if you are sacrificing quite a lot in sticking to the diet, just think of what you have achieved so far and all the folk you have inspired.

Good luck, really hoping things go your way in the days ahead.

 

[Pheonix2010]

wow im dreaming of 10 10 by the end of the month and you got a 9 already

well done , i know it feels really slow right now but we are like the tortoise and the hare and we all know who won that race

 

[alison55]

You have done so amazingly well you should be proud of yourself! I agree with the others that perhaps you need to begin adding low carb foods and perhaps see it as a period of readjustment to real eating. Perhaps your last stone may be slow to go but perhaps your body is trying to let you know that it is nearly there! May be worth trying to alter your focus to trying out different low carb recipes for a meal a day and aim to maintain and then hit it with 100% in a week or so??

I had a week of up and down Hun and I think my little cheat got my body moving again, I think we have lost about the same and prob started around the same time, I felt like my body was holding onto the weight and If it does that again I'm going up my calories as I'm sure that def got it all moving again good luck it really does get disheartening when you give 100% but don't see the losses like we used to but like me you will plod on and get there lol xx
