You working out as well?
How do you find your energy levels? I'm dead keen to try it. Thinking of getting 'eat stop eat'...

I do IF every day. I don't eat breakfast or lunch during a work day, and on weekends I break my fast at around 1 - always with a protein shake.

On Sunday, I went for a 10km walk (can't run yet due to injury), and then did my upper body routine, all in the morning before lunch. I was fine.

During the week, I exercise after work, at about 4:30/5 or so. As mentioned, I break my fast with a protein shake, which means that I won't have much or any glycogen when I train. I eat very little carbs.

I've been working out for 2 years now. Also started out with 2 times a week and slowly progressed to 6 times a week.

Important to make it fit your schedule. Good luck.

Also helps a lot that I have a fairly decent home gym set up in my garage. Saves so much time.

Yes on the gym - I've just been out of it for a bit. Have treadmill, free weights, smith, pull up bar and bench so plenty to use - now all I need is time lol.
 
I'm still stuck at 138, for the life of me I can't seem to break through this barrier.
I'm eating less than what I was eating when I lost those 10 Kgs in January.
:cry::wtf:

Reduce the number of times you eat per day. If you want to reduce how much you eat, you need to reduce the number of times you eat per day instead of how much you eat at each meal.

If you are still eating 3-5 meals per day, you won't lose weight.

Yeh, I'm only eating breakfast and dinner now... skip lunch and just have 3 coffees with cream throughout the day.

still taking medication?

Yes, for blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes, although none of those conditions are particularly severe.
The blood pressure is mainly to control the sever headaches I experience.
The cholesterol is because I have a low HDL (Good Cholesterol) count.
The Glucophage is because I have recently started with symptoms of pre-diabetes.

Sounds like me. Take a serious look at your carb intake, maybe something is blocking the loss or alcohol. Also, I was recently diagnosed with a low good cholesterol ( 1.0 ), a nurse friend suggested taking omega 3 supplements to help perk that up. Been on it for a week now and all fine, no effect to my weightloss. Also sometimes your body just says stuff it and won' t budge. I find at those times I lose cms but weight stays same for weeks at a time.

Scale wanted to lie to me this morning, normally do three and take avg reading ( 135.8 , 136.3 , 136.2 ) but not taking the lower yet.

I have been on many a plateau on my journey to skinniness.

Firstly, if you don't lose weight every week, it isn't a train smash. Check every two weeks if nothing has occurred then something needs to change.
1) Make sure you are drinking enough fluids, water retention is sometimes a consequence of dieting.
2) Spice things up with the diet, change the type of foods you eat and when you do it. Sometimes that did it for me.
3) Double down, if I hit a plateau, I drop my kJ intake 500 kJ. Also be a bit more strict. When you are losing weight regularly, it is easy not to measure your portions as accurately as you should.
4) Do a different type of exercise. So if you are primarily doing cardio, do a bit more strength, vice versa.
 
You could always try a "cleanse"....extra hot Nandos or a good Durban curry will sort you out quickly.

Hmmm now I'm craving livers.

All you LCHF'ers - make sure you're getting plenty veg / salad in. Meat / fat without those is good for cancer.
 
I weigh 84.2! This means that I am 1KG lighter than I was 4 weeks ago. I'm happy with that - means my weight is still dropping, albeit slowly.
