I've had a number of times that I've hit a plateau now, and I've overcome them by increasing to maintenance calories for a few days, and then dipping down back to weight loss.

Cost Compared to Other Methods

I know that a good number of people have a great deal of success with the Slimming World method, but I'm curious as to the cost. How much more expensive is it than other methods of dieting?

Adding a salad to my evening meal helps me with this. I realize that it doesn't work for everyone though. I hope that you find some relief fast, as this is a horrible issue to deal with.

I have a heart rate calorie counter to use alongside my FitBit, but I've never set it up. I really must, as I hear that they are far more accurate at giving you an idea of what you're burning.

There are so many crackers that I love, even Goldfish. I miss them when I take them out of my diet, so I end up just allowing for them in my daily calories, or finding ways to add them to my lunch.

Never. I can't stand them. I've tried so many different recipes and I just cannot find one that I actually like. I tried choking them down but they end up making me feel sick, so I gave up completely.

Thank you. He's been diagnosed with primary Reynaud's phenomenon instead, so he unfortunately hasn't got off unscathed. Dr says it's quite common in men who lose large amounts of weight.
