Weigh-in / eTools online

so yay! i lost another 1.1kgs this week taking my total weight loss to date up to 5.2kgs.... very happy as i know i have been good with tracking, and i have been allowing myself little treats along the way in the hope to avoid a big blowout and therefore find it harder to find my feet again..

so here i am... all chuffed about the effort to date.. when i put in my stats on my eTools online to be told that 'you're losing weight too fast and should consult a doctor'..... hmmmm... i've only lost 100 or so grams over the recommended 1kg range since beginning, and i took a week out because i was sick... whilst i love having the convenience of the eTools i don't particularly appreciate having a computer generated message telling me i'm not doing the right thing... i have A LOT of weight to lose and i don't think anything to date has been OTT.. it's not Biggest Loser loses, but i'm happy i worked for it and i'm going to embrace it... ugh it's either be made to feel guilty cos you're too big, or then have a computer tell you to slow down... meh..

rant over..
heh.. sorry... i am very happy to be over 5kgs lost though... and come on computer.. it's been over 5 weeks... grr technology!

hope every is doing well also!

  1. Don't feel bad...I felt that way too the first time. It is a computer generated response that automatically comes up when you lose over 1kg.

    It doesn't take into account that you may have only lost 400g the week before so fortnight total is only 1.5kg or whatever it is...

    I think it also just reminds you that big losses aren't what you want...you want small ones each week.

    Don't pay attention to it if you are just over, or if your monthly loss is 5kg or less (4kg is best)...but try to stick within those limits for the month.
    a. the slower it comes off, the easier to keep it off.
    b. I think the slower it comes off the less chance of excess skin.
    c. the slower it comes off, the more likely it is FAT going, not water!

    Well done for your loss too! You are doing really well considering you knew you were going to face challenges...meh! what challenges!!! :)
