Goodbye Cheese....Hello Whoosh Fairy!!!
 

After almost eight weeks of complete standstill, I've finally cracked it!!! I must say I did fall off the wagon for a couple of days over Christmas and didn't go back to "stict" induction so I suppose only have myself to blame!

Well I decided about a month and a half after my stall to give up cheese :cry: but I only gave up for a few days and started again and didn't break the stall even though I was drinking buckets and exercising loads every other day! I finally got rid of all my yummy cheddar :cry: (surprisingly I'm ok with any sort of cream) and immediately noticed a small changed. Now almost two weeks on I've lost almost 6lbs and needed to go shopping yesterday for some new clothes!!! :wiggle: :yay: :yay:

Anyway just thought I'd share my good news with any stallers out there who might want to think about giving up cheese for sometime just to see if this might help. I know there are loads of posts in here that advises giving up cheese and dairy to break a stall and as this helped me I thought I'd help spread the good advice! I know how depressing stalling can be especially when you're working hard to maintain this WOE!

That is a thought! Cograts on those 6 pounds LOST!!!

:yay: Kudos to you for breaking your stall and for your lose :yay:

But boy, ya hate cutting out the cheese! Hopefully you can add it back in now that things are moving again! :rolleyes:

But YAY on the loss!

I agree !!! I made Donald's Deep Dish Quiche last week and it was GREAT ... but ... it stalled me for about 5 days.....no cheese all weekend and I'm down two pounds......

Dang, I just ADDED cheese to get my fat & calories up because I was afraid 1300 cals were to low and most meat just adds protein, not fat! Woe is me!!

I'll be you did need new clothes! You are a real loser! I have to really watch the cheese consumption but so far haven't given it up completely. Keep up the good work!

Oh :doah: ! I knew that dairy fat gets burned first. Yet, I couldn't see the forest for the trees. Thanks for the primer. I needed that. Did you also give up heavy cream as well?

Dear Lindym,

Everyone is different. Maybe you can eat cheese and continue to lose weight. Because giving up cheese knocked Maamel out of a stall that doesn't mean that you and other people shouldn't eat it. If no one should eat cheese it wouldn't say 4oz is allowed in induction in the book! Also Lindym - yes, you need the cheese!

Congatulations on your personal discovery Maamel. I'll bet you feel great in your new clothes!

I think it need to cut down. I eat easlily 6 or more oz a day!

How do you get calcium?
 

I have cheese every meal..Usually 2 slices on eggs...Sprinkled shredded on Salads..And Melted on MEATs..(CheeseBurgers)...

If I cut out cheese how do I get calcium???

This is just the point I was trying to make. Just because Maamel discovered that cheese was making her stall doesn't mean that everyone should instantly give up cheese. We are all different. I can lose and eat cheese. If you can too no need to give it up!

I just left the "slow as a turtle" thread, and found you ...wow my luck.....I will cutting the cheese back as a treat...but just like RCFletcher, I could not imagine giving up Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese, congrats on the loss.
