Weight: 8st 7

Yikes, this gastritis is playing tricks on me. Today is my blow out day- I've been looking forward to it all week. I ran 5k this morning but I was quite unwell during it due to the gastritis. However, I do think the acid is lessening - halleluia. The lack of caffeine has to be helping me thinks - and the double dose of meds. I did the 5k in 29 mins which was ok considering I nearly passed out. Had hoped for 27 but no point in pushing myself. Went to Eddie Rockets for dinner - that did not agree with my poor tummy- too rich. I've basically no appetite at the moment - yet I'm putting up weight. My average calorie intake daily is only 1000 cals per day. Surely I have to have lost this week. My only consolation is that my tummy is so bloated and sore that it has to be full of gas which explains it while my clothes are a little looser.

8am: croissant (230)
1pm: french baguette (500), blue cheese(180)
7pm: fries (480), Garlic mayo( 250), 2 mini burgers( 280)

Popped back up to the 155 range this morning (10/30/2017), but feels like this is the ceiling instead of the floor this time, which is encouraging. Besides, my monthly cycles appeared today, so must allow...

I'm currently shifting a lot of my mindset and methods this week, so I'm jumping off the weeks and switching to days. This is, after all, a whole life kind of thing, right? Besides, I don't like having...

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.
Maybe this WOE is so successful that everyone's lost the weight and got on with their lives! I can hope ...

Yes, it is terribly dead here, especially lately. I think that people either just have all the information they need or have stopped this WOE. It is a shame. But stick around. It seems to go in waves....
