Keep it up!! Every incremental pound gets harder as your body gets smaller, but it's still worth it!
- awjr 13y agoSlight issue with clothes budget. I keep shrinking 44 down to 38 :) Still I only fill the car up with fuel once every 6 weeks now.
- mathattack 13y agoThat's a good problem to have. I think waist size is a better measurement than bodyweight. If you get stronger, gain weight, and lose a few inches off the waist, you're doing fine. If you lose weight, but get larger in the middle and weaker, it's bad.
- photojosh 13y agoHave a read about the "Famine Response". You need to stop trying to lose weight to let your body adjust its setpoint, then go again.
- awjr 13y agoWill look into it. I've avoided trying to eat less. I've just started a low carb diet as wheat seems to play havoc with me, but this I try not to calorie count. If I'm hungry I eat.
- penguindev 13y agoGood for you, hope it works. I did the same thing. Some advice: measure your waist with a flexible tape measure, and get your blood lipids checked. I wish I did that before I started wheat belly / LCHF, to have an accurate before number. Even my wii scale was slightly inaccurate (5-8lbs) on carpet vs hardwood floor, I've later learned. But yeah, since I kicked wheat and starch (kicking sugar alone did not help), I've lost two inches off my waist, with no exercise. I just wish I would have taken some more scientific before numbers. edit: google william banting if you haven't heard of him before, for some low carb inspiration.
