Slow Weight Loss?

Re: Slow Weight Loss?

I think that you may need slightly more veggies, I think that your calories look so much better around 1600 than they did at 1000. I think that it's basically right on when you're eating enough... I'm assuming there aren't sweeteners anywhere hidden... Dr. Atkins says to cut the caffeine, but I really don't think that's affecting your loss... but I'm not your body, so I can't say for sure. How tall are you anywhere where your goal weight is 111??

Hi there - no, no sweeteners, don't need them before or now. Sweet enough as I am lol !

I'm 5' 2".

I want my goal weight to be 50 kgs which is 111 lb. I read somewhere (can't remember where now!) that my goal weight should be 69 kgs or 152 lbs. Maybe 60 kg would be okay?

Anyway, a long time to go yet!

Thanks for all your help today, Lyssie

No problem, good luck. You'll look great for the wedding so stop worrying so much.

We have to stop meeting like this, Lyssie!

I just went to a post by Labarum called What Should My Goal Weight Be, in the FAQ forum here, and he had a link to find out your goal weight.

It said most people my age and height would like to be 138 lbs or 62 kg.
It said the Medical Recommendation is between 104 - 137 lbs, which is 47 - 62 kgs.

I think I will now change my goal weight from 111 lb or 50 kgs, to 132 lbs or 60 kgs.

Hey, my ticker will look better when I update it in a moment

Bye again and thanks!!

P.S. I know I will look ok for the wedding, as I do look a lot slimmer all the time - and haven't gone off the Atkins diet today!!
