Hi again, just popping back after my long absence! Since then I've made no progress with my weight loss But at least I've not gained either... Well done for persisting, it's always so difficult when the scales refuse to co-operate. What help are you thinking of getting?
I have total sympathy with you over the low calorie requirement- being short & lazy mine's around 1,300-1,500 (never had body tests done so this is just an estimate based on my weight/activity levels). I expect my calorie requirements will fall as I get older too.Hi, I did wonder what had happened. I never have enough time or patience to wander round this chat room - I should check your blog out. You are right, it's a bonus not to gain anything. We often forget that by stopping, there is the option of eating a titchy bit less and start dropping the weight. I find it so difficult ... I'm 57 ... tests on my weight / body mass show that a full day's worth of calories for me should not exceed 1250 for the whole day - that's just for staying the same as now. People need less as they get older! So, I've told myself I need to drop 2 lb by Monday or else I'm going to enroll on a programme - i don't want to, i think it's a waste of money, but I feel like my health is in jeapardy.
Well done on the successful fast! And good job you weren't hangry at work, hehe.THURSDAY
139.0 lb
so after what was basically a 5/2 day with around 600 cals, I dropped 1.4lb ... and I was in a good temper during the day at work (that's what I'm most afraid of is being 'h-angry' at work... it's not fair on others)
7 hours sleep
Water/herbal tea ... planned 2.5 litres
Steps ... planned 14,000

My goal is to drop 2 lb a week ... if I don't I've decided to get help, as I've just been going from 138-140 over the past few weeks.
