Plateau beaten - for now
08 Mar 2014, 12:56
Not sure if it really counted as a plateau as it was only about 3-4 weeks, but I was stuck at around 11stone 4.25/4.75 pound and getting a little worried that I was headed for long term plateau land.

I did a bit of exercise this week and a little yoga, nothing major though and on Thursday I did a liquids only fast (other than broth). Last night I went to a beer festival, had quite a few ales and later on a few vodka and cokes. :shock: Was concerned all that sugar and beer was going to spell for disaster, but it seems I've gone down to 11stone 2.5 pounds :grin: Not counting my chickens yet though as next week I'll probably be stuck again, that seems to be the pattern I follow. But the main thing is it IS working, it DOES work and it IS doable.

I know people say that exercise makes little difference, but I've always found if I do some, the weight seems to shift easier. I do tend to mix workouts up - I do a few from youtube(with the curtains closed) which are kickboxing style aerobics workouts and some short burst interval training workouts. I also went for a 20 minute walk/run (2min intervals). Obviously I'm not doing loads and I want to increase, but I'm getting there slowly.

I'm also considering doing a once a week liquids only fast, to see if this helps. Or maybe I just need to drink beer every week :?: :confused:

Thanks @CandiceMarie

@Sue.Q I can't figure the avatar thingy out. I linked it to a photo on Dropbox after creating a share link but it doesn't seem to like it. What do the rest of you you use? :?:
