THE CC DIET: ANOTHER WEIGHT LOSS

Trumpets please!

Yes another two pounds lost, bringing the total this last month to over 20 pounds, some 9.4kg:

The first milestone was to lose a stone.  Achieved in less than three weeks.  I was half-hoping to reach my next milestone this week, so was rather disappointed the loss was only 2 pounds.


After last week's results, when I was a little concerned about losing weight too quickly, I modified my approach somewhat expecting to achieve a loss of at least 3 pounds:

• Increasing my daily Cs target to match what I had actually achieved the previous two weeks, when I had lost around 4 pounds each week.
• But increased my 'exercise bonus' having reviewed my per mile rates from 4Cs a mile walking to 6Cs

In the meantime my GP has advised, for me at least, "don't worry about losing weight too fast".

It may be that I've hit a "weight loss plateau", which is very common.

So it looks like I ought to go back to what I was doing before:

• Reduce daily target back to 59Cs
• Reduce 'exercise bonus' to 5Cs per mile

So let's see if I can smash that second milestone this coming week.  Only 3 pounds and that niggling quarter to lose!

Mid-week Update (Wednesday):  Lost 2 pounds so on track for the 3 and a quarter lost by Saturday
