2lb is a great start. Well done. Like training, consistency beats yo-yo eating.

My strategy is: the more things you measure, the more motivational opportuntiies you have. I measure weight and BF% every day, producing a trailing average of my last 5 days (adjusted) weight. I measure my waist weekly and run a 10k time trial weekly. I also log my strava fitness and garmin produced vo2max (via runalyze).
With all of those, I'm making progress if any one of them improves even if others sometimes appear to be going the wrong way, temporarily I hope.

Fenland, I always have to remind myself that weight loss isn’t linear, your body has all sorts of tricks such as filling fat cells with water. Some swear by drinking 2-3L of water a day (Michael Mosley and low carb recommend this) to keep things moving. You will lose if you stick to it.
Personal downfalls: toast and lashings of butter, cheese with red wine, crisps with imperial stout. So for now, alcohol and bread have to be out which only leaves cheese which I can manage.

I love morrisons crusty tiger rolls. They're made in their bakery and there's no nutritional content so I emailed them to ask. 173 cal each. But they're worth it!

Lol at “no nutritional content” azx, thought you meant “junk calories” for a minute😂! But who cares if they taste good.

I think we all make choices about food with things we like which are so worth the calories.For me nuts and cheese but as a vegetarian who needs to up her protein levels all good .

Heh NR. Well, they have some fibre and some protein. That's good, right?
