Did well for 6 weeks and lost motivation - gearing up for the next try

Height 5 10, age 49, starting weight: 16 st 2lb, current: 15 st 10 lb, target: 14 st

I think the novelty of calorie tracking kept me going for about 6 weeks. I wasn't being too aggressive, was eating well including some treats but pretty much kept my 500 calorie deficit. Lost 7 pounds which astounded me, as, like other poor schlebs, I had been kinda indoctrinated by the media that the laws of physics don't apply to weight loss.

But then I got tired of counting, had a few days with a beer or three and so on and put a pound back on over the last 3 weeks.

It's a bit of a pain as 9 weeks in now and only 6 pounds down. Really need to get my shit together now and settle into steady weight loss for a couple of months before taking a maintenance break.

On the plus side, I didn't yoyo back to starting weight so it's not all bad at all.

Why am I posting? Because I can't tell anyone else. They don't care! You care, thank you!!!
