    I am stuck between 91 and 92 kg. I have to lose at least 5 kg this month. Writing this goal down gives me a sense of accountability. I will do my best! Some things which I plan to use:
    1. Low carbs, less than 80 gms. May go below 50 if possible.
    2. Water fast for 3 to 5 days
    3. No added sugar which I had been taking in tea. Will take only stevia if needed.

    You can do it :-)

    Axing sugar from your tea will help you more than you know, I axed my flavored coffee creamers and have been drinking it without now for just over two weeks. Just simply not using my creamers anymore has greatly reduced my cravings. I just can't even tell you how awesome that is :-)

    Thanks Sandy.. I definitely look forward to shedding this stubborn weight. I had been consuming 2 cups of tea with milk and sugar every weekend and one cup every week day when I am back from work. Thats probably the major reason for not losing effectively. I might add in the stevia drops.. I hope that doesn't count.

    Yeah, I was doing the same with flavored creamers. Probably 420 calories and nearly 100g sugar per day. Eep!

    I don't think stevia counts, hope you can find a brand without a nasty after taste.

    @mikseyniha you're doing great and if you continue to do low carb then yes you need to cut out the sugar but you can use Stevia :)

    Week 5 results:
    Gained at the beginning of this week. But managed to get down with a low carb diet, below 50 gms. I think the last time it didn't work for me was because of excess protien. This time I followed what @hjstewart40 is doing, 65:25:10 and sure enough, seeing results. I hope to carry on like this for a while.

    I had quite a lot of carbs today.. Around 100 gms. Now I am feeling so guilty for eating those sandwiches stuffed with spicy potato mash :(

    I don't seem to have a problem with carbs, as long as they are whole foods and not junk. My carb intake averages 120 and below, I have them every day, mostly from fruits, chia seeds, and vegetables, potatoes, low carb tortillas, and for sandwiches (which I don't have often) I choose 100% whole grains. I stay away from white breads and anything with added sugars. Although, I did have potato buns the other day. :-)
