Hey! That is absolutely brilliant news!! Seriously, well done!!!
Just no shortcake in celebration, ok? Yes, I know I am meanie ;-)
Know all about the plateauing. I seem to get stuck every 4-5lb and it takes a real effort to push on through. And what makes it worse is that it only seems to take a moment of weakness and it bounces back up a couple of lbs and will then take 4-5 days of being really disciplined to get back to where I started. :-(
Realise at 270 it can still feel a long way to go. But to drop from 315? MATE!! That's quite an achievement! Multiple brownie points are due.
I have been dragging my feet lately with the CFS and life stuff, but this weight loss method I have been using does seem to work. I really should get my mind straight and put something together as I am sure there are others who would find it helpful. I have mentioned most of it earlier in this post but to bullet point it... 1) No calories after 6.00pm. 2) Psyllium husk to help the tum work and support colon bacteria. 3) Amla to control the diabetes.
Oh, and exercise for weight loss is different than for fitness training. HIT works (3 x 20 second intense exercise bursts with 20 second rest intervals). Unfortunately with my CFS this is not possible for me, but it's not essential. As it's been shown that just being active and occasionally getting a little out of puff actually burns more calories and helps with health more than hitting the gym. And with your ouchies I wonder if that might be a better approach for you too?
Though running away from those giant white inflatable balls must be keeping you active too? ;-)
(Yes, I do get the inference with your signature. Your English roots are showing if you know that series ;-) Oh, did you know the setting for the "Village" was real and you can still go there?)
Think slim thoughts and keep happy.
