I know re: the weather, why does it make me feel like it's the weekend already? So sad that it won't last though.
Enjoy your lovely BBQ. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Chipolatas are around 150 calories for 2! Bargainous.
So i'm truly amazed to have reached 10 stone flat this morning. I have watched some Jordan Syatt about maintaining and am going to increase my calorie allowance. His suggestion is devastatingly slow and low - to increase by 50 cals a day - if you were losing at a rate of 0.5-1lb a week. Now i've had my share of plateaus, but when i've lost weight, it's been at a rate of 1-2lbs a week, most often 2lbs. So i'll increase my cals by 100 a day, from 1200 to 1300 - i'm not sure i'm so accurate to stick to increments less than that anyway.
He is also very clear that when you move to maintaining your weight, it will go up and fluctuate between 1-5lbs or more. Because of water retention (more food = proportionately more carbs which will cause more water retention, apparently) and physically having more food in your body. I'm still learning so I don't know if this is all correct but it makes sense to me. It will feel sad to lose some of the progress i've made, i'd rather maintain at the lowest weight i've achieved but hey if that is unreasonable then it's better that I understand that.
He does give a formula for calculating your maintenance calories which is just your body weight in lbs x 14. I'd be surprised if I could eat 1960 calories a day without gaining weight though so i don't trust that method and would prefer to slowly increase and monitor the scales.
