Of course, we all miss the mark sometimes at a weigh in. I only do once a month, so I never ‘don’t lose anything’ but I must say August’s weigh in was a bit of a slap in the face at 1lb. You just can’t let it get you down, weight fluctuates so much for so many stupid reasons, it could just have been an aberration. But if you think you know the cause (overeating on non-fast days) then you also know the solution. Don’t get disheartened and throw the baby out with the bath water.

You have 2 choices:

Accept that if you continue as you are then you will lose a fraction of a lb per week rather than 1 or 2 lbs (that’s not the end of the world – at least it’s still heading in the right direction, it’ll just be mega gradual)

Or, pay a bit more attention to your intake on non-fastdays and be a little more rigid about the naughty stuff (doesn’t mean you have to chop anything out, just that you have to account for your naughty moments within a general calorie limit)

You can also add some different exercise patterns, this may kick-start a loss but if you happen to build any muscle you may notice the change in your shape rather than in the scales as muscle weighs more than fat.

Bon Chance!

There is. I particularly appreciate the ‘normalised’ hormones and the lack of eczema 😉

Keep on truckin’ you’ll get there. I’m a chocoholic myself, so a decent percentage of my non-fastday munchies are accounted for by my ‘habit’, it’s not the end of the world that I still crave chocolate, I just have to be aware that it has a cost.
