I hit 2 initial Landmarks today - 28 days in. Another 6lbs this fortnight makes a total of 14lbs (have decided to round down instead of up, actual 14.7) after 8 in first 2 weeks. We use the weight format: Stones and Pounds over here for weighing ourselves - those of us who haven't gone Metric, and 14lb is 1 stone My waist is also beginning to shift, the fat started getting softer, less taut - it was like a large drum - now I have lost an inch, which I am very excited about.

Psychologically, it is getting easier. Even mealtimes with the reduced quantities are fine, in the main as I have a nice piece of fruit between meals, instead of half a packet of biscuits. My water and no sugar/no sweetener, low cal diluted fruit juice intake has doubled, pure fruit juice intake has been cut to RDA. My real problem is still with the Metoclopramide, which I can never get away from.

I think my weight loss has now settled to up to 3lbs per week, which is a good, sustainable level for the distance I have to go on my Journey. With losing an inch off my waist I am 10% there.

WELL DONE DAVE!
YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY THE KIND OF PERSON WHO REALLY STICKS TO GOALS ONCE YOU'VE SET THEM. I ADMIRE YOUR DRIVE AND DETERMINATION. WISH I COULD BE MORE LIKE YOU. WHAT IS EVEN MORE AMAZING IS YOU ARE DOING THIS DESPITE THE Metoclopramide. CONGRATULATIONS ON ACHIEVING GOALS!
CELEBRATE WITH A BITE OF A COOKIE.

MY BEST, D.

Dave, I think that you are doing really well.

I had a chat to a couple of my professional dietitian colleagues about this, obviously not revealing any private stuff. They both said that your idea of sustainable weight loss is right on the money.

Good job and keep it up!

You know, what keeps the motivation ticking over at the darkest times, when the 3am Craving Demons come out, is the support I am getting from all my Friends here.

Thank you all.

Dave.
