Ok, so I've been doing this since the beginning of August, and the initial results were fab. The past 5 weeks, however, I've hovered between 9st 61/2 and 9st 6..... To 'kick start' loss, I did 4:3 for two weeks, without success - even ensuring 16:8 throughout. Today, 2 pounds have arrived :-/ I've a...

Big celebration today as I've broken the recent plateau! 0.7kg loss this week! :grin: :grin: :grin: So what did I change to achieve this? Quite simply just making sure I got to bed at a sensible hour and didn't work late. Being freelance, work sometimes ...

OK, so I said in my last post I'd been just hanging around the same weight for over a month now. So yesterday was a fast. I hopped on the scales first thing yesterday morning and then again this morning at the same time. And I weighed 2kg more! After a fast day! Now I know that's impossible! So as I...

Dear All, I'm stuck in the 6 month plateau. Classic with 10% weight loss from start but just seesaw around the 20 pounds I've lost for almost 2 months now. I am trying to stay to the 500 cal. per day but I do stray up to 700 sometimes. My ...

Well September is not turning out great for me at all :confused: Was very happy to lose my holiday weight in a week after coming back in August, but since then I've not lost, in fact I've gained a bit. I thought last week that maybe the batteries in the scales were going as they seemed a bit variabl...

I just looked back at my history and discovered I've only lost 1/2 pound since August 9. This after steadily losing since I started 5:2 in March - a total of about 15 pounds. I'm not giving up. I write this at the end of a long fast day that included about 340 calories. But my theory is that this cu...

Hi Everyone! I've been doing LC (started with Atkins and branched out from there) for the past year, and successfully lost over 40 pounds (~3 stone) but plateaued for the summer, unable to move even 1-2 pounds below, with regular excercise, carbs in check and all. I've started reading different LC b...

... dropped it, rather dramatically, over the last few days, to reveal the proper weight loss that had been hidden by the water. Don't give up when a plateau happens. There is important internal work happening behind the scenes. Use this time to check that your TDEE is correct, double check that not ...

So, I think it's more likely I'm on week 3 of the 6th month plateau (which hopefully won't last too much longer). Sticking with 4:3 and will report back when it breaks. UPDATE: Plateau broken after approx 1.5 ...
