I am soooooo disappointed today. :( I haven't lost any weight this week. I've stayed the same, which means I've not hit my first mini target. :( And I've not passed the challenge I'm on - even though I've swum almost 5kms and walked every day!
I have been sooo good this week - not perfect,because we had lunch out on Good Friday, but even then I counted everything in and I only went over my calorie allowance by less than 100 and that was after I lowered my calorie allowance from 1600 to 1400 anyway!
I don't know what else I'm supposed to do to shift this extra weight. I'm determined to keep going, but I'm so disheartened.
My fat percentage on the scales has gone down from 33% to 31%, but that's not how things are measured on here, so it's very annoying that I haven't lost even half a pound.
I'm now going to have to revise all my mini-targets or I won't reach any of them. :(
My mini-target for the 26th April will now have to be 9stone 12lbs.
Fed up!

I know it doesn't feel like it when the scales aren't budging, but! you've done excellently! You've stayed on course, exercised with lots of swimming & walking, plus you've even lowered your calories.
Now, my maths skills aren't the best, but by my calculations you have actually lost near on a pound. 142 lb x 33% bf = 46.86 lb. & 46.86 lb x 2% bf lost = 0.94 lbs of actual fat lost! So your body must just be retaining water to help with recovery & repair from all the exercise.
So, to prove to yourself that you're still losing weight, even of the scales say otherwise, get a pair of jeans or a ring that's a size too small & try them on every 2 weeks. This along with your body fat % will prove to you that your diet is working & you are getting thinner.

Thank you so much for this! Your comment is really helpful and I will do just that - I have a pair of jeans I want to fit into by the end of June, so I will start trying them on every two weeks or so from now to see if I'm getting anywhere - they were so tight just after Christmas that I couldn't pull them all the way up, let alone do the zip up! But I got into them 18months ago, so I'm sure I can do it again! Thanks again! :)
