  not losing weight!

  after five+ days of being at 8st 13 lbs (125) I have been jumping up to 1-2lbs. After getting back to my nutrition plan...it has irked me. Just realised that I may be gaining muscle or fluid in the muscle after getting a hybrid bicycle and pushing myself. I feel more toned so I hope the fat burn and the muscle gain will eventually balance themselves out and I can start losing weight again. I am prepared to go through the psychological and physical pain barrier to see how this pans out ..... I love the bike! (I will master the hills). Also developing a chest infection I think and I am not as active in other ways than I would be normally .... sleepy and flu like

  Surprised

  after weeks of intermittently not being able to stick to my diet. Show considerable restraint under the circumstances , including lots of walking and faithful hula hooping. I have gained at the most 4 lbs and even after a scottish 'Fish Tea" lately , jumping straight back to my cottage cheese diet with the usual battle cutting out the carbs and champagne..... I have managed with a relatively relaxed and confident frame of mind that I can confidently always revers the damage as long as I nip it in the bud and so I find myself surprisingly quickly back down to 8st 13lbs (with a daily burn prospect of gaining less than 1lb a month). However taking a critical look at my fat distribution and shape I see I have to buckle down to some work to tackle a stubborn British Pear shape as I near the age of 50. I have also to give credit to the assistance of supplements Acai , Green tea , more recently Raspberry ketones and my un sung heroe Decarb. I hope to take up horse riding and swimming to aid my new resolve. I think my new goal I think will be under 8st 8lbs , my concerns are what to do about mature skin that does not snap back anymore and I think a slowly slowly approach + targeted exercising may be best for this.

  sharing the battle of the bulge

  My friend fatbat13 (don't like the name but was meant in humour) came to stay 3 weeks ago and noted my success battling with a plateau in the weight loss by grazing frequently through out the day on small meals of primarily cottage cheese , baby toms , fish or chicken and vegetables. I walk everywhere, power hula and use a vibro plate to exercise (lot listed in the workouts). She has lost 10lbs in 3 weeks and loving it. Ratna has also joined daily burn. It is nice to see a total of 4 friends here and I hope they can see how essential this kind of too is to keeping on track. I could not do this with out the monthly predictive weight loss tool in this daily burn tracker. Must go , busy day , but good luck to you all. xxxG

  gained and lost 4llbs

  Arrived home at 2am from the All Inclusive holiday weighing 9st 4, only 5lbs heavier considering the eating verity and opportunities. Would have been more if I had not had a sickness for 2.5 days. I did exercises with the weighted hula with lots of walking and some swimming . I also think that the oedema from the hot climate and the flight contributed to fluid retention. I am delighted to see this morning that I am now 9st. Which is great news as I have to get into THAT dress for my husbands pending retirement dinner. I am delighted with my resolve and balanced approach to my week in Turkey. I ate enough kinds of food to enjoy myself without too much guilt. Experiencing new wonderful cultural foods. But applied plenty of restraint.
