Weight Loss *REALLY* Isn't Linear - Some Evidence
I have produced a little graph to provide evidence to support the statement weight loss isn't linear. I weigh myself every morning, at the same time in the same condition.

"I've Blown It"
I think this little cartoon represents exactly how we are prone to respond when we have an off-plan moment on our weight loss journey. We think "oh well I've blown it now" and eat ourselves out of house and home as a result. Really what we should be remembering is that one pizza isn't going to make us fat, just like one…

Does that mean per 100g raw weight as long as it's cooked following their instructions or does it mean per 100g cooked weight? It's a…

It's Not Hunger It's Thirst
No it's not. It's wanting to swallow that entire box of doughnuts in one gulp. Drinking a glass of water is definitely no replacement for wolfing down a pack of Oreos :smiley:

What's Different For You This Time Around?
There's an old adage "if you always do what you've always done then you'll always get what you've always had". Over the years I've been on many weight loss journeys with varying degrees of success. Starting my current weight loss journey I spent a great deal of time reflecting on what didn't work so well for me on these…
