Okay, I am getting ****** off with this now!! 2 weeks on 810 and not lost so much as an ounce. Exactly the same weight to the .01 of a pound as I was two weeks ago.
This is where it gets demoralising. I have taken the decision to come up a level to 1000 and start exercising and see if I can get things moving that way. I have strong willpower, which has been tested to the limit on the diet this time as I have been permanently hungry for the entire time - it even keeping me awake some nights. It has been terrible, but I have not broken. As far as I am aware, I have stuck to this as close to 100% as I can without too much faffing about - only deviation is that I do not weigh out all the protein etc exactly each time so there may be a bit more one day, a bit less the next, but not enough to make that much of a difference). I can no longer put up with the mental torture and discomfort when I am not losing - so I have given in.
I will move up the plans and go back to exercise. I am disappointed in myself that I cannot stick with it anymore, but I just cannot put myself through this for what seems like nothing.
Worst thing is that I tested myself again this morning, and I am clearly in ketosis, which I have been the entire time. What gives - can anyone explain this, because I certainly can't.
