Well done Well - I'm fully expecting being below 9st to be a truly wondrous thing. Please tell me that it is!
Well I am feeling loads better about myself now! 8lbs down since Boxing Day which isn’t loads but I’m only small so it’s really made a difference. I’ve got a little further to go, but it’s definitely been worth every missed temptation or bit of hunger! Cake is nothing compared to not being self conscious about your muffin top 😂
DontFund yes I agree about measuring! Wish I’d done it but I haven’t got a tape measure!
Twixes don’t be disheartened! I get inexplicable scale readings sometimes too, but if you stick to the calories it will come off!!
Patchwork I work in that sort of job too, people are forever bringing us cakes and biscuits! I’ve had to completely abstain, just one is never an option for me :(
Does anyone else find they can't lose weight unless they eat next to nothing. Meaning 1000 calories a day or so.
Only if I’m expecting instant results, or not measuring properly.
This is the first time I’ve actually stuck to a diet to the letter. I haven’t cheated or had any days off - and it’s worked! Periods where I’ve stayed static despite constant hunger, but it’s come off in the end. I’ve been on 1400 calories a day but average about 1200. If I’ve had a ‘treat’ (today I had a mini brownie) I’ll make up for it with other things (I had 100g chicken curry for dinner).
Personally, I’ve found that I have to stick to it absolutely. For me, once I start on ‘oh I’ll start again tomorrow’ or ‘oh it’s only 100 cals extra’ or eating exercise calories, I’ve lost it.
That’s just me though, I know days off work for some people :)
