    Yes, 100% agree with @springlering62 !

    Also, I agree with your trial and error method because for one, we each need to find out what works for us individually, and two, I pretty much feel my whole life involving nutrition and fitness is constant trial and error. What works for us for a while may not do so when life changes, which it does constantly.

    Adopting this mind set now should set you up well for the future. Thanks for continuing to post and please keep us updated!

    I jumped on the scales and the Easter frenzy has caught up ..94 kgs. A one kg gain. No worries, I just keep plugging on.

    And I bought another 7 kg watermelon and thought " yep, another year , another 7 . Bring it on. "

    I'm motivated, positive and enjoying my new experiment. I've also found that being off my sleep aid medication has put more pep in my step. That's definitely a good thing.

    Sweetie, that’s just shy of half a pound.

    Sometimes I think thinking in kilos makes it a lot harder for folks. They’re bigger increments.

    half a pound- nothing to sneeze at That’s a decent sized piece of beef (errr….sorry!), half a large russet potato, a couple of bananas, 3/4 a party sized bag of potato chips (crisps, presumably, to you!)

    Heck yeah, it’s a win!

    Thankyou very much for those kind words. If nothing else , I'm steadfast. :)

    I'm sure that one kilo a month loss for most people wouldn't rate very highly on the success ladder, but had I changed nothing I'd still weigh 100 kgs.

    At this rate I might conquer another 6 kgs by the end of the year.

    Bring it on. I'm ready.

    This is what 99.5% of people doing pinball diets just don’t get.

    You do!!!!!!

    A friend of mine is a big fan of the "quick fix/ fast loss/ drink this shake /, eat 500 calories per day for 2 weeks etc type approach. A few months ago she said to me

    " I don't know why you bother, I'd get so frustrated and fed up. Why don't you give my plan a try?"

    I politely declined. And yep you all know what I'm going to say …my friend sure did lose weight ...and then put it all back on ( plus 3 extra kilos because she'd lost so much muscle) .

    As a child I really enjoyed the story of the Tortoise and the Hare. It just made sense. :)
