Weight loss stopped

lisamerrison

I know what everyone is going to say - the scales are not the only measuring stick. Yes I can definitely see a difference in my body shape so that should be enough.... shouldn't it?

I have changed my eating lifestyle for 2 years (and I say that because it needs to be a lifetime change not a diet) I have lost just under 2 stone - I was half a pound away from 2 stone when I went away on holiday and put on 3lb!!! I have been power walking now for 12 weeks - in april I walked 65km, May 110km and this month so far 53km and my weight has stayed the same for the last month despite being really good apart from the holiday week.

Does anyone know when my weight loss will kick in again, I love my walking (in fact I am addicted to it now) but I really want the scales to show some loss too.

I've just looked at your food diary and you've not logged in the past week. Log your food weigh and measure everything within your goals and you'll lose weight. If you don't do that your just guessing about what you're eating.

You're not mentioning your food intake...how is your calorie defecit?

Maybe you arent at deficit, but more like maintenance, so the answer will be never until you resume being at deficit. If you are at deficit then you just need to be patient. If you do the basic things correctly, then you will be effective.

Stop eating more than you are burning.

I am on the slimming world plan and when I was logging what I was eating on here to see what deficit I was at I was always at least 500 deficit plus exercise which is generally around 500- 700 calories. I stopped logging on here because I realised that by following the slimming world plan I was always at a deficit anyway

Isn't this diet the one that allows you to eat an unlimited quantity of meat, fish, pasta, potatoes, rice, eggs, fruits, and veggies?

NO food has zero calories. Pasta has 200 calories per serving. And let me tell you that the serving isn't very large so it is very easy to overeat.

You aren't losing weight because this so-called diet is a joke and leads people to believe they can eat as much as they want and still lose weight. That's wrong.

Start logging consistently and weighing your food with a food scale. And most importantly STOP following this diet.

There's your answer why your weight has stayed the same for the last month. Invest in an inexpensive digital food scale and weigh all of your solids, use cups and tablespoons for caloric liquids only and start logging everything again. That should get the scale moving downward for you again.

June 2016 and guess what! I still haven't lost anymore weight so I am giving up slimming world and starting to calorie count as of last Saturday
