Hi all,
Started in October at 18 stone 6 and I'm now at 14 stone 11. I still have at least 3 stone if not more to loose and I'm on SS+ at the moment.
Ever since Christmas my loss has slowed down. I'm managing 2lbs a week at the moment.
Started the Gym in January and loved it. Started doing a couch to 5k running program (with a storyline and zombies so really motivated me).
On the advice of my consultant I stopped going to the Gym as she thought it was causing my slow losses. She said I could go to the Gym but really should be doing step 3. It's been nearly 4 weeks since I stopped and still 2 lbs a week.
She's a bit worried about me going up as she thinks I'll gain muscle and the scale will stay the same or drop even more slowly. To be honest it's really put me off going up but I MISS the Gym and can't help hoping that my losses would stay stable or even improve. Does anyone think I should go up?
I can't moan at 2lbs a week - I never managed that before on any other diet but still feels achingly slow - half of the "a stone a month" that most others seem to get. If it remains stable that's 6 more MONTHS of SS+ to get to my goal which seems ridiculous (and heart breaking, I do miss food a bit!) any ideas why my losses might have slowed down this much.
Only other thing I can think of is I had an underactive thyroid. My last readings were within range and they took me off tablets; think it's worth getting them checked again to see if that might be an issue?
