its droping off fairly quick allright i think the extra bit of training is helping a lot.it has been a while since i was under 15 stone,may get some new clothes at weekend most of what i have now are swiming on me.i think its time to try a 34 jeans:cool:

Dixie Chick

I had a stage as well where i lost loads. Came after a big plateau for about a month where i lost 2 lbs then it was 3lbs, 4lbs and 3lbs in three subsequent weeks. I definitely upped my exercise around then too.

I have to advise you, dont be buying loads of clothes, they will all have a very short life span if you keep this rate up!

Hi Harr. Weren't you starving between breakfast and lunch? If so, you could add an egg or some other form of decent protein to keep you full without blowing the diet.

Dont be. To be honest id nearly have expected it cos you ahve had so many losses very quickly. Everyone has a week like this, its when it goes into 3 or even 4 weeks that you need to start wondering whats causing the plateau.

Dont get me wrong, i know how disappointing it is to stand up and see a minimal or small loss but be lucky it isnt a gain, that would kill me!!

Agreed... I wouldn't worry unless you don't drop weight for another few weeks. If that happens, it may be the fact that you're now lighter so your maintenance calories has reduced. You'd then need to reduce calories a little more or, preferably, add a little extra excercise.

You've lost a lot though and should definately expect the rate to slow down a little so I wouldn't change anything yet.

There is no good way to detox. Just get back to healthy eating and drink lots of water.
I wouldn't worry about the weekend, we all have blowouts and it probably does you good psycologically. Most diets recommend a cheat day per week at this stage.
You have probably put on a bit of water weight over the weekend (retaining water due to toxins in your body) so don't weigh yourself over the next few days, but with healthy eating this week you will proably be back to normal weight by thursday/friday.

lubie76

I noticed you hadn't posted diet or a day or two and had a feeling you may have went of the rails with it being the weekend and everything.

Don't worry though, its only a temporary set back. You are back eating well plus you done a 5km walk yesterday. Thats great. Could you try and get out a couple of evenings this week to do a similar walk? It will reverse some of them excess calories but more important it will make you feel better after the weekend.
