Keep the faith.14st 2lb this morning, an unexpected increase of 1lb.
Hopefully just a weird blip... not alcohol induced like last weekend's one, which was less puzzling!

No problem there, I am in this for the long run. Currently got my eye on the 14st mark, and then maybe from there 13st 9lb. If I can achieve that target I would have lost 3st since I started on August 27th, which would be a heck of an achievement for me! We shall see...

Day 1: 16st 4lb
Day 16: 16st 0lb
-4lb
Back to where I was a week ago and I think moving in the right direction. More hopeful of hitting 7lbs by the end of the month.
Well done to everyone else for sticking with this. Sustainable change in eating habits is the name of the game for all of us.

That's a perfect choice.
Peppers and mushrooms sounds good, but breadcrumbs and feta doesn't sound sliming.

No change today.
Holding at -4lbs
Holding at -4lbs
Day 1: 86.5kg (13st 9lb); body fat 17.8%
Day 17: 84.25kg (13st 4lb); body fat 17.4%
A 2.25kg (5lb) loss since the day 1 weigh-in. But a huge 1.35kg (3lb) gain since yesterday’s weigh-in.
No, I didn’t binge myself stupid yesterday, I stayed on-track with the no snacking regime that I started in 1 Nov. So why such a difference? I had a hard 1 hour session on the turbo trainer yesterday morning and weighed myself immediately afterwards. So I reckon the difference is water - I sweated away the best part of a kilo and a half on the turbo yesterday morning.
At least I know what I’ll be doing immediately before the final weigh-in on 30 Nov

I think it is definitely an issue with water retention.
Something that happens as well the older you get...ha ha.
It's a good reason for why many say to only weigh once a week as the fluctuations daily can be disappointing at times to morale.
I can't help but get on the scales first thing every morning, but I'm used to the fluctuations and try and not let it bother my ultimate goal.
There are a few who may get over the line of 7lbs on this coming Friday, 8 days ahead of schedule. You may well be one of them.
Good luck...!

Ha ha.....I did see your post re losing 8lbs before. I'm putting my faith in you, that you will get there again...and sustain it, before the end of the month.I’ve already been there - I was 8lb down at yesterday’s weigh-in. Maybe that’s a more interesting challenge - lose 7lb or more then put it all back on by the end of November

Back on track after yesterday’s unexplained blip - 14st 1lb.

Feels like people are doing ok generally. If you're struggling, stick with it - it'll come. And check in here if you need some motivation.
Do the percentages your scales are giving match up with this:
17 - 18% isn't bad.
It happens even after a week. I started writing down my weight on 26th Oct and have lost a couple of kg since then, but there have been a couple of days (10th & 14th Nov) where my weight has been higher than it was on the 1st. If I didn't know better that could be annoying. If you know you've changed your diet/exercise, the weight will come off.
I prefer to do it that way too.
