Just a thought here, stimulted by my low-carb god, Gary Taubes. He says that eating low carb is like correcting past wrongs. According to him, low carb is what the human body is designed for. He says that eating low carb our bodies will release fat that we have been storing incorrectly (through eating carbs) but that we may never be as slim as we want to be. He writes about bodies having a balance point, possibly an ideal weight & it may not be the weight that we want!!! If you think about wild animals, even with unlimited natural food resources, you don't see them either fat or skinny - they have a balance weight - which will be slightly different for each animal.
I just make this point, because sometimes I wonder if our striving for a particular goal - like 9 stone or 10st 7lb or whatever is unrealistic. Why that particular weight? Why not 9st2.5lb? or 10st13lb? We tend to aim for a round number and that simply may not be where our body was designed to be & therefore it will always be an impossible goal to stay there.
My weight loss has slowed right down to a half pound off every couple of weeks. But, and this always surprises me with low-carb, my clothes continue to get looser. So something is continuing to change with my body composition. Nobody knows what I weigh - but everyone can see what I look like. To me that is more important. I have a vague weight goal, which I'm still about 5lbs off reaching - but actually I care far more what I look like than the lbs on the scale.
Long ramble - not sure how much sense it makes!
