12 pounds to loose

[Smartmove]

I’ve done this before during lockdown and got down to a decent weight but slowly gone back up. I keep starting and then doing well and then self sabtogage and gain it all. It’s such a problem. So I’m taking it 1 week at a time. And writing on here to keep me on straight and narrow

day 1
weight 11.6 . Bmi 25.5
goal weight 10.8

this is post 4 days of self sabotage so should come off very quickly I was 11.1 4 days ago so should be water. And then will start slowing down

today plan
brocolli and Stilton soup at 11ish
feta stuffed chicken with a side salad of leaves and avacado at 4ish

I can do this. I usually eat 3 small meals but I ate so much last night I’m not hungry!

Mid day check in

10s6.6 this morning so 2 off from Friday!
Fasted till 1
Broke fast with 4 x ryvita, soft cheese and roasted veg. Then kefir yoghurt, seeds and berries

Need to get some water and steps in!

Chilli or Bolognese for tea!

Hope to be 10s 5 at the end of the week!

Hi everyone
so I planned my day and then turns out my chicken was past sell by date! So quickly scrambled together a hummus salad for tea. Think I’m still in calories but was a mad scramble so can’t be sure!

I stayed away from alcohol over weekend again. Will do same this weekend.
weigh in tmrw.

Hubby currently eating choc biscuits

I must not cave!

Didn’t cave

still not 10.10 :(
10.11 this am. this pound is taking forever

plan today
yog berries
feta salad
cod and veg

hopefully 10.10 by Thursday. And was hoping to be 10.9.5 by Sunday maybe not?

@Smartmove yes to your willpower!

I felt sickly this morning
HIIT ✔️

Broke fast at 11
Toast and almond butter
Chicken 'thins' sandwich
Chicken soup @ 4pm

I'm in college now and really hungry! I am due a break soon and need to push through it for a longer fast. The food options will be vending machine stuff!

F*cks sake.
Just found biscuits in my bag and mindlessly ate them

@jelly79 we’re they good biccies at least?!

im finally 10.10. Hallelujah! Now time to push past that and make the Nov the month I drop and stay under that! I would love to be 10.9.5 for sat/sun. No alcohol planned this weekend but I have a big family celebration so will be lots of carby food on sunday and sugar laden stuff. So need to keep head down till then.

Sounds like the biscuits were much needed brain food, hope you enjoyed them.

Yay @Smartmove that's great you're back to 10:10 - I know you've been chasing that and hasn't taken too long post holiday to get there.

I've been 10:9:9 the last two days. Been hungry and having big portions of dinner in the evenings. I think my appetite is still adjusting post holiday!

Haven't been able to get to the gym so far this week, will continue to try but had loads on with work and other errands in the evenings.

Thinking beef soup for lunch and something light for dinner as we bear closer to Friday and I want 10:8:5 by then. Was supposed to be easier than this to lose 1lb this week!

@Chunkymonkey123

How are things your end?

6 mini mills biscuit things that were lovely! Not bothered about the calories really just that it cut my fast!

@Smartmove yay well done it's great getting back to the right point!!

@hollyblueivy I feel like that re appetite levels! I am more hungry if an evening at the moment

I have just got a ninja! I am so excited to cook in it all weekend!

I have very little on this weekend but craving all the comfort foods and in hibernation mode

Plan today

Ryvita and sardines
Melon
Chicken pasta and focaccia

HIIT ✔️

Self sabotage with huge slice cake and some crisps

wtf! No wonder I never drop below!!!

will go again tmrw !

I’ve been away with work the past two dads so have had 3 big meals a day 🤦‍♀️
skipped pudding though and tried not to over eat. I’ll have to try hard tomorrow and see what the weigh in says on Friday.

@Chunkymonkey123 I find it so hard when eating out because of all the options

Pudding is my downfall 🤣

Decent day yesterday.
Haven't weighed since Monday so will do that tomorrow morning
HIIT ✔️

Plan today

Fast as long as poss but been feeling a bit sickly so will see what I need

Yoghurt, Granola and blueberries
Eggs
Chilli (no rice)

That should do me today :)

@jelly79 You're having a great week, look forward to seeing a fab result for you tomorrow.

@Chunkymonkey123 It's loads harder when you're not able to cater for yourself.

I was 10:9:5 this morning. I wanted to be 10:8:5 by tomorrow for 1lb off. Thought it would drop off easily but clearly not!

Will try to eat light today to see what happens for tomorrow.

Really good day today. Low cal. Low carb and not hungry. Fasting started at 5pm will break at 9am.

was 10.10.5 today due to the cake and extra dinner from day before .

still hoping to be 10.9.5 for Sunday am.

will do my hit tmrw and sat

@jelly79 and @Chunkymonkey123 good luck for weigh in tmrw

@hollyblueivy my last 2 holiday pounds took long to shift too. It’s not easy is it! U will do it soon I have no doubt!

1300 today, posting here to stop me having a second glass of wine!
weigh in tomorrow, hoping to STS!
@Smartmove Well done for having such a good day! Hopefully you will see it on the scales

@Chunkymonkey123 sounds like a though week to navigate! Don’t have the wine!!!

10.10. Should make 10.9.5 for Sunday

hit and low carbs again today

10:10:1 today - put on half a pound this week!

I'm clearly not back in the zone yet and haven't done any exercise which helps me with my eating as they go hand in hand for me.

Ok, so 10:9:0 will be the goal for next Friday - to lose 1lb. Ideally I'd like more but I also want to be realistic.

I don't have any socials this weekend but don't have any alcohol last weekend and quite fancy a wine, so will probably have a little drink but not go overboard.

I should have some time to get to the gym this weekend.

I am also spend some time planning my meals for next week so I can properly get back into it.

Holiday was still worth it.

10.8.8 which I’m pleased with as finally back under 10.10! 10.7 is the aim for next week.
I’m going to stick to two meals a day and a walk at lunchtime.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
