I weighed myself this lunchtime and actually.. depsite the sh*te exerecie routine and eating habits in the last few weeks, I guess the stress has made it fall off, as I'm actually the same weight as the last time I weighted myself 3 weeks ago.. so HURRAH! Which is 15 stones 2.
So yes, I've only lost 1lb so far in total but hey better than putting it on!!
Front-Ranger:
Works for me!! Good news, Kelda. Now, back on programme!!
I'm not going to be able to report as much loss this month either. But, I'm rationalizing that I'm replacing fat with muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat. My clothes definitely fit differently, and some of my pants are literally falling off me! I'm about ready to go shopping for some new clothes.

The Claim:
To Cut Calories,
Eat Slowly

THE FACTS
For ages, mothers have admonished children at the dinner table to slow down and chew their food. Apparently, they’re onto something.
Researchers have found evidence over the years that when people wolf their food, they end up consuming more calories than they would at a slower pace. One reason is the effect of quicker ingestion on hormones.
In a study last month, scientists found that when a group of subjects were given an identical serving of ice cream on different occasions, they released more hormones that made them feel full when they ate it in 30 minutes instead of 5 . The scientists took blood samples and measured insulin and gut hormones before, during and after eating. They found that two hormones that signal feelings of satiety, or fullness — glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY — showed a more pronounced response in the slow condition.
Ultimately, that leads to eating less, as another study published in The Journal of the American Dietetic Association suggested in 2008. In that study, subjects reported greater satiety and consumed roughly 10 percent fewer calories when they ate at a slow pace compared with times when they gobbled down their food. In another study of 3,000 people in The British Medical Journal, those who reported eating quickly and eating until full had triple the risk of being overweight compared with others.
In other words, experts say, it can’t hurt to slow down and savor your meals.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Eating at a slower pace may increase fullness and reduce caloric intake.
