I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
In the middle of Round 20, it occured to me that I may have reached my maintenance weight. I have hovered around 159 for weeks, despite keeping to my calorie goal, (10% below my TDEE), and doing loads of exercise, (and eating back minimal exercise calories). I am in the normal range for my age height and build, so I wondered if I was being realistic in my Target Goal Weight. I'm fitter and healthier than I have been for decades. I think fit and healthy should be my new focus rather than weight loss!
New Primary Goal - stay under 160lbs.
Losing a pound would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.
Observations, and Previous RoundsMany events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!29/10/2017: 159.0 Goals ✅ Holding steady! And still under 160. I call that a successful Round.
A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!

the phrase" inexorable trudge" made me laugh.
these are my goals too- a normal BMI !7 -

question??
I have noticed my hair is thinning, I currently eat around 1650 cals a day and I am losing slowly so I think its unlikely to be that I am eating too little if I eat any higher I am going to stop losing weight, or at the very least it will be lost at an even slower rate than now. (not that I have an issue losing slower but I think 1/4 - 1/2 lb a week is slow enough not to cause other issues such as hair loss)
I've started taking supplements and I am currently using a lotion recommended by the hairdresser to help stop hair loss .. but if it's nutritional then I doubt that it will help.
So I am looking for ideas in foods that might be rich in "stuff?!?!" that's good for hair to help stop the loss. basically I am looking to attack the issue from all angles
I am hoping against all hopes I don't have to choose between thick hair and normal weight. I seriously can't afford to lose any more hair .. :-/
Other than bouts of sciatica I have no other medical issues that I know about .. so I am making the assumption that this is mainly a nutrition problem.
any help / ideas appreciated

1st Goal 150
2nd Goal 145 (normal BMI)
UGW Range 140 - 145
I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day.10/20/17: Oooh, I like this thread! I've been weighing myself daily since April, keeping track in MFP Food Notes, and logging my "official" weigh-ins on Saturdays. I've been amazed at how much my weight can fluctuate from day to day, depending on eating out or processed foods, adult beverages, net calories green or red, etc. Daily weigh-ins really help me see cause and effect with high sodium days, adult beverages, too much sugar, etc. I don't get freaked out as much by a jump on the scale now, since I know what I did to cause it, and what I can do to change it. My scale measures in 1/2 # increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.Round 20
10/20: 166.0

10/26: 166.0 A little surprised....happy hour after work with 1 pint beer, "healthier" pub food & popcorn for supper. Drank 14c water. Fitbit 14,674 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 40 floors.
10/27: 165.0 Fitbit 15,929 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom) & 38 floors. 14c water. Been low on fiber lately.

Hi,
Have you ever heard of seasonal hair loss? There is scientific studies that show that women lose more hair in October-November and if you add that with a bit more hair that you could lose during dieting it may seem like you are losing a lot of hair. I really don't think that your diet is causing your hair to fall out but it could be just seasonal hair loss making you think you are losing more. A normal person sheds 60-100 strands a day.
On a good note, it grows back.. even diet related hair loss grows back when your diet normalizes again. If you feel you want to do something then increase protein and essential fatty acids such as 1 teaspoon of olive, safflower, flaxseed, soybean, oil per day.
Be good to yourself..

Have you had your thyroid checked? Difficulty losing weight and thinning hair can be symptoms of thyroid disorder. If you've not had it checked it might be worth getting checked out.5 -
