Finally lost

[Nomoreexcuses]

At last, after 3 weeks on a plateau I've finally lost 3lbs! Not sure how 'real' it is as I've got some flu like bug but been eating my daily allowance so hope it sticks. Every cloud has a silver lining lol.

Well done for sticking to plan during that 3 week plateau. It's so difficult to keep going how did you manage? I feel low as have put on a 1lb over weekend despite plan and exercise. I am on week 9 and have lost about 10 lbs so far, but am finding it tough, how to keep going?

Hi LindaR62. Thanks. I think this time I'm just determined to do this however long it takes so instead of packing it in I've kept with it. Plus I have to say the advice and support on this site has been great. It's so lovely when you're feeling stuck to have someone jump in and say keep going and it makes you remember what you have achieved. My weight has been up and down too. At the end of week 9 I have lost 9lbs so averaging 1lb per week. Normally this would make me impatient but now I have accepted that this is going to be long term and with patience I will achieve. I also look at websites and instagram for people who inspire me to keep me going. So stay focused keep doing what you're doing and I know you'll get there x

Well done for the 3lb loss, that's great! 🎉🎉 obviously just took a whole for the scales to catch up, I bet you lost inches! Massive well done for keeping going through your plateau, that takes real determination! I find it really hard to stay motivated when not seeing results, freaked out when I had a gain last week despite sticking to plan, glad I stuck with it though, it will always balance out eventually! Hope you're feeling better soon and best of luck for the coming week! 🌸

Thanks Anna999. I did measure myself and amazingly I've lost 2" from my waist and another inch from my hips. Was really pleased with that because although I've lost some weight I didn't expect such a good result from my waistline which is the area I really want to improve. Really encouraging. Have a good week too x
