Got on the scales this morning with hope for a small loss but NO, I stayed the same as last week. My average RDI has been around 1300 so I have been fairly good so not going to beat myself up over it. Maybe I have reached that 'plateau' that members talk about, so now I must try having less bread and to increase my exercise. I do not want to change my diet too much as I still want to eat these foods when I reach my goal. I have a holiday to Ireland and Wales in about 5 weeks and want to try and lose a bit more fat before then so I will feel fitter playing with 2 year old grand daughter on holiday and walking around sight seeing. So more mental strength needed to omit the bread that I eat. If that does not work then maybe I will have to change the diet a little. Saying all that I have felt 'thinner' this past week. Good luck to all members in your quest to become a healthier you. motivation by Lily Lloyd, on Flickr[/img]

Oh well Lily, what can one say your weight loss has been very consistent from the beginning, so one little hiccup is nothing in the big picture of things.....the other day I went berserk on bread as hubby wasn't around and I just couldn't be bothered to cook for myself(I was being a bit lazy to be honest), it was a very easy option at the time but I love to cook so what was that all about!.....This weeks weigh in is not going to happen for me, full stop, I just don't want any disappointments at this stage!.....But chin up flower and keep motivated, it could be that dreaded plateau, but you definitely know how to tweak your diet to put it back on track .....Happy Dieting.....

This is the hard part...the part where you do the right thing but the weight doesn't change or even goes up a bit. Try some simple burst training - only takes 10 mins or so (if that) - just enough to get the heart rate up quickly to a high level for 30 seconds or so, rest for 20 secs and do again - check out "burst training" on the web. Go easy at first! You only need to do this once a week or once every two weeks at the start.
With the exercise you do - just see if you can push a little harder/heavier to get that sweat going - don't need to work out long 30-40 mins is fine but you have to get it to a point where you are breathing hard and or sweating.
Food - bread - work out how much you eat and then take 30%-50% of that amount per day...add in more vegetable or meat to supplement the drop in bread.
Just a few thoughts from me....all the best.

You've been doing well so don't beat yourself up over this. A minor pothole in the road to a healthier you. Mixta's advice is good. A wee bit more work now and then to get your heart rate up and a bit of a sweat on works wonders. Best of luck and you have a lovely sounding goal to aim for. I love Ireland

Thanks for all your encouragement and advice. I am still very positive and know I am in this for the foreseeable future and will try and do better over the next few weeks with extra bursts of exercise.
