I had my hair cut short this week, also about 6 inches off! Maybe that's why I lost more weight this week. I am really pleased with my new look, do you like yours?

Yes I love my new look, feel that I look so much better :)

I weigh my self daily as a recent study has shown that people who do so tend to lose weight faster and if they continue to do so once they have attained their desired weight do not put the weight back on.

This morning I weighed in at 13St 8lbs a loss since yesterday of 2lbs

Over the last few months have been losing on average 1 - 2lbs a day
1 or 2lb per DAY? You're going to disappear completely!!!! (And I need to know EXACTLY what you're eating so I can do it too!)

I lost 7 #s in 2 weeks and was stuck there for over a month. Went on vacation and gained 2 but now lost 3.5 in a week. Odd. The good news is I never saw bs over 100 on vacation. Not sure how that happened. I didn't eat anything I don't normally but I did eat more of it as I was the chef. Picking, tasting etc. Still hoping to lose 2 more pounds but I'm ok with it if I don't. I just needed it to stop going up. I cut back on fat and switched red wine to vodka. They both probably contributed but I really think it was the wine. Any thoughts?

I have eased up of late and as getting closer to my old weight it is getting harder I did something that most people here would not recommend for the last few months I have limited myself to between 100 to 150 calories breakfast around 200 calories at mid day and around 300 to 350 calories for evening meal I do have odd snacks but only by adjusting other calories down while keeping carbs at a minimum and taking the rest of the calories over the number of calories in the carbs eaten in protein and fat. I have done this as I am very limited in the amount of exercise I can do. Believe me it's been tough going but am now sort of used to it and at times can't believe the amount of food I used to eat. But it's not for every one.

Sorry forgot to mention am now approaching the six stone lost mark about 7lb to go.

Sound similar to what I do John and I am quite comfortable with it but I am also a woman and smaller. I envy people who eat large meals but in the end smaller meals suit me better. I also find with a very small BF my bs is better all day. If BF isn't right the whole day is shot

last couple of weeks my weight was going up and down. My problem is I love fruit. Especially pomegranate and oranges. I don't over eat them. But like to have one every day.
Today I weighted 74.9.# I am low carbing as well.

Well, I haven't lost anyting this week, but at least I haven't put on. I'm now 11 stone exactly and I want to be under 10! The weight loss has definitely slowed right down, I need to be stricter. It hasn't helped that the exercise has slipped this week as well - I usually go to the gym every evening but have had to miss two sessions this week due to work commitments.

Well weight today 12 stone 13 lb that's 1 pound lost but that's despite having decided not to be so strict any with diet till after have had my operation. Getting below 13 stone was a major ambition for me. So I am quite chuffed. :)

Lost 8lbs over the last 4 weeks - so a good steady loss (although my chocolate cake disaster last night might not have helped) :rolleyes:
