    Happy to be down a little again, but honestly kind of frustrated

    Hi Sarag, every now and then I need to do something different to shake up the routine and break the plateau.

    Exercise - double my exercise sessions during one week in every month.

    Food - have a side of cooked mushrooms with double (heavy) cream & mustard with either lunch or dinner every day for 1 week in every month. A book I read years ago called this the 'magic whoosh. Happens to be my happy food but if your not a fan of mushrooms, try to find something else to cream. 😁

    I’ve been on this journey since 12:25/2019. I was steadily losing but I was also dairy free and I didn’t use any sugar substitutes. I added some SF treats in here and ther and cream in my coffee and my weight loss slowed down. I’m still losing but it’s more like 3 lbs a month. I’m fine with it. Do I wish it was faster, of course but I also know it’s a WOE that I will always do so the wt loss is just a wonderful side effect. Good luck! [/quote

    Thank you! I need these reminders. And, you’re absolutely right! This is a lifestyle, not a quick fix. I need to make this a mantra lol. I have been overweight my entire life. I have always been a quick fix, and fad dieter. Of course none of that worked long term. This is the first time in my 42 years that I have gone almost an entire year heading in the right direction, in a healthy way. Slow and steady, and staying the course!!

    Gutted gyms have closed here - too dark after work for safe exercising. Have bought a Vegan Keto recipe book - going to try mixing up my food choices as I'm conscious I rely on ham and eggs a lot 🤣. Have a great week peeps.

    So, apologies to all as I've been out of it for all of November. Not sure why just was, with lots of stuff going on, however the past few days I've actually been thinking of logging on and now I have: so here's to a return!!
