Fledgist's Journal, 09 September 2011

After nearly a week my weight shows some movement at last. Down half a pound. I expected that after last week's swift movement down it would take my body a few days to catch its breath, as it were. So it has. The hard thing is not to be frustrated as the numbers don't go down.

I still have a way to go, more than two stone, before I reach maintenance weight and can think about what a maintenance diet (around 1,800 calories) would involve). I've been spartan in my approach thus far (though I'm not ready by any means for a run through the Laconian countryside).
192.2 lb Lost so far: 144.8 lb.    Still to go: 24.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

G'morning! I'm sure its frustrating when its so slow but its moving in the right direction at least. Its well known that the less you have to lose the slower it goes - SIGH. Try not to get too frustrated, you know this isn't a 'diet' its a new way of eating/thinking. You may had a few things back in maintenance but you will never eat the way you used to - another sigh - but that's the price of success and well worth it. Have a great day and week-end.

I agree with you entirely. The really hard part is having to say 'no' to so many things so much of the time.
