One of the problems with this get-a-new-camera diet is that when I don't have the money to put into my jar, I decide to stop losing weight. Such is the case at the moment: money is a bit tight and it will be so for a few weeks, so I am not trying to lose weight at the moment. It does make sense though, my motivation for the camera is greater than the motivation for the weight loss, so I'd rather just hold steady than try to force weight loss and then feel some negativity towards the whole thing and put on a lot of weight.
So that's it, really. Holding steady.
Oh, by the way, the appetite reduction lasted a whole one day. It was rather disappointing, but reading the blog that the books author wrote, he showed graphs on weight loss, people with little weight to lose didn't really lose much on the Shangri-Lah diet. They certainly lost it though if they were heavier though. I'd still recommend it to others to see if it works for them.

About Me
- Logical guy
- New Zealand
- As a child I was skinny, I don't recall how skinny but weight was never an issue for me. Ever. Even as an adult, I had never dieted, tried to lose weight. My internal weight control feedback was perfect. If I overate, I'd subconsiously lose the weight without even thinking. That was up until the age of 25. Then I started gaining weight, about 1kg a year. At age 29 I develop a health problem and suddenly I'm gaining weight at the rate of 1kg a month. Now, at 43 I'm still battling this. I'm hoping that this is the last time I'm trying to lose weight. Fortunately, I didn't gain too much (17kg) when I was at my heaviest compared with my goal weight.

Theres something to be said about holding steady... because sometimes thats just as hard as losing! So hang in there and hopefully youll be able to start saving up again soon!
Hang in there! Holding steady is frustrating - but your body has to adjust and take a rest now and then. I have had lots of plateaus since I started May 1, 2006 - with 70ish lost so far, 80ish to go. Keep eating healthy and the scale will move in its own sweet time.
