[QUOTE="RosieMaxwell, post: 2337452, member: 520572"] Hiiii guys, so it's been 5 weeks and I haven't posted an update because I am EXACTLY where I was 5 weeks ago! The plateau lives on! But I wanted to post here about it because I don't want this thread to just be all good - good - good and none of the real stuff. So truth be told I've been depressed about the slowdown, as I think anyone who has been on a long weight loss journey would be. Particularly because within these 5 weeks I have actually lost a couple more kg and then regained them. I know! How awful! Except as you will read on plenty of posts here, weight loss isn't linear. Part of that is just how things are but I understand now that partly it's also because you sort of relax a little without realising it. Checking out my food journals for the last 5 weeks, I've realised that I let quite a few more carbs slip into my diet without really noticing. Which is disappointing but also brilliant because it means I can do something to turn things around i.e. tighten up that carb intake. The other truth bomb is that I need a bit more motivation. With my A1C down, I've lost motivating factor #1. And then even though I am hovering at just over a healthy weight in the BMI scale, I LOOK slim and am wearing size 8-10 clothes which was a pipe dream not too long ago. This is lovely but also bad because that was motivating factor #2. So what am I doing? Refocusing on new motivations. I still want to get down to a healthy BMI (#1) and reach my unspoken goal of halving my weight (#2) - which is now 14.1kg away. I'm not planning on doing anything different from what has worked for me already - i.e. Keto, IF and walking. Just going to put extra effort into monitoring my carbs, do a bit more walking in the evening and move to weigh myself weekly instead of monthly so that I can track smaller changes as they happen. I'm feeling positive because I feel like I have a plan again. So please keep your paws crossed for me that this week is a good one! I'll update this thread again next Monday :) [/QUOTE]
