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!

I have caved and had a cadburys wispa 😬 My willpower is terrible

@FijiSea ive had a bowl of granola and a cheese sandwhich!!!! Wtf!!!!! Was hungry :(

tmrw we will be super good!

Yes I’ll just need to get back on track tomorrow

can see it slowing down but I’m still so pleased esp I as I had a 9pm 500 calorie ingestion! Full of carbs. Am a bit confused tbh! Anyways let’s get to 10.13 for tmrw
@FijiSea lets be good!

given up finding a bikini or Takini which suits me! Think I’m gonna have to do some serious toning to try get rid of this mum tum I have. I’ve still a good amount of weight to loose but don’t think this will ever go! I really don’t want to gain half a stone on holiday after all this effort. Also obv want to enjoy myself! Hoping if I fill up with good food and stay away from sugar damage may be less! We stopping at services on the drive I’m going to take a salad no need to eat crap sandwhich!so hopefully that will start the trip on the right food

Ending on 1100 and 59g carbs. Am stuffed so hoping so 9pm snacking!

is anyone else there? How is it going?

ended up caving last night. Last day pre holiday actually going to behave!

I’ve weighed today and not lost a single pound.
Think I’ll just write off this weeks and have a bottle of wine tonight and start again Monday.

I seem to think I’m already on my holiday and eating normally today including some biscuits. But otherwise have had healthy food. Of yoghurt berries. Shared a chicken casserole and veg with DD and lentil Bolognese but I only had a tablespoon of pasta. And nuts. And a few bites of my son brownies. I didn’t calorie count but def 20000ish and a lot of carbs.
ill be back post holiday with a gain ready to drop some more pounds!
@FijiSea dont worry. First week often about getting head in gear and getting the right foods in and realising what what works for you. Then u can start the loss!

Yes I haven’t put any weight on but seems like I’ve been stuck at ten stone forever now.
Fresh start next week , I’m not down about it at all.

@FijiSea good luck!

Right so I found some scales
saying I’ve put on 7 pounds!!!!! Wtf! I mean I have been pretty wild. Gonna cut back today on the carbs and not drinking coz tho k my lice actually hurts! Will report back on my own scales when back . Ahh!

Unfortunately when you slash the carbs and then have a bit of a carb fest, you get very high ‘swings’ between high and low weight. When you are glycogen depleted you also relinquish a lot of water as each molecule of glycogen requires twice it’s weight in water, but of course the converse is true: when you replenish the glycogen stored in your muscles, you Also replenish that water weight, hence the crazy 7lb overnight gain. Of course, there’s a bit of variance from different scales.
I’d probably say not to weigh on holiday, just enjoy yourself and deal with the aftermath when you get home!

@thenewaveragebear1983 agree
l weigh on Tuesday when I’m back but am being a little more controlled today! How is urs going ?

Right in back in 2 days and ready to start loosing holiday bloat - am consumed an awfully lot of cals. Hoping I’ll be back to where I was in a week? And then start part 2 of getting to 10.8 which is goal. I have to do this!

I’m still at ten stone 😆 I’ve been hiking , cut carbs honestly think I’m destined to look like a fat obese small person 😬
I should be 9’4 I’d say to look slim , but I’m finding it impossible to drop any weight
ive hovered around the ten stone for shed and I hate it 😢

@FijiSea im sorry. Everyone has a set point I do too. It’s about 11.2 and it’s so though to move and requires so much effort and weighing eveything in prob half a stone or more heavier after my week away. Dreading the weigh!
we’ll done on hike though that’s good going

I will continue on this week , at least I’m not putting anything on I suppose.
Going to have lots of salad this week as it’s warm here and also have a busy week at work so that should help with steps total too.

Hi guys if you didn't already know because if certainly didn't if you have Netflix they have at home work out videos a whole section just for fitness I'll be giving this a try but yeh

I’m back and ready to face music. I did go wild. Huge brekkies . Lots of cakes and ice creams. Loads of wine. Skipped lunch. Then huge 3 course dinners.

so result is

day 1 restart 11.5.6
left at 10.13.6

utterly depressing!!!! I’m hoping it’s off super quickly given it’s gone on in one week. Am downing my water as we speak and hoping for a huge loss overnight!

Less than half a stone in a week on holiday - that's not too bad.

Ended on 900 cals. Not looking at carbs until next week. I must have had 600g a day on holiday so any reduction is a winner atm!

11.4.8 today. So 0.8 drop.

Ended on 900 today. Not counting carbs yet will start limiting those from Monday. Feeling a bit pooped I’ve been on this sort of weight for 6 months and keep going up and down

11.2.6 today. Feeling less bloated. Out for dinner tonight not drinking. But can’t guess calories but will try eat minim in day
