I'm starting to notice the changes that weight loss results in. I don't wear a belt so I don't have the satisfying sensation that comes from moving through the holes but I have had the dubious pleasure of having to discard my favourite jeans because they are just too big.

I am still in awe of this weight loss strategy. Having struggled through Weightwatchers and having to convert everything to points, calorie counting and the need to weight everything so I knew how many calories I was eating and other forms of torture this is so easy.

I plan for meals with lots of low GI carbs and usually vegetarian with lots of veges, like sesame rissoles and ratatouille, on fast days so I'm not deprived and don't look like a martyr.

Good luck, @moderatemeals! I think you'll love this way of life!
Losing 1.6 pounds is hardly a plateau! You are not going to keep losing at the same rate as the beginning. You should be very happy with 1 pound a week!
Thanks for the comment, cblasz.
