Morning. Don’t work @hollyblueivy it will be ur weekend water weight and be off asap.

I feel like holiday mode is gone , tummy not shouting for sugar and af out of way so I’m fully back on the wagon. I’ve sadly still got 3 pounds of holiday weight to loose but from today I’m logging on here every am and hoping that keeps me accountable. Was good at weekend with no alcohol and I did excercise but I kept nibbling on the kids left over which means I didn’t loose this weekend but STS. Anyways let’s go. (@hollyblueivy let’s make it a good week!)

weight today 10.12
goal weight 10.3
9 pounds to go.
plan
Puriton shake
halloumi bake
eggs and avacado.
no snacking.

Looks like a good plan @Smartmove I do find the accountability on here does seem to make a difference or at the very least shorten the time off track.

10:9:9 today - phew that weekend bloat went quickly- I did eat really light yesterday was hungry before bed but managed to push through.

weight after a reset - 11.12
day 2 - 10.11

loss 1 pound
goal 10.3
8 pounds to goal

stuck to plan yest except a bit of yoghurt and fruit in evening as was starving. Came in at 1100 and 25g carbs. Plan today

yoghurt berries nuts and seeds
tuna avacado salad
Thai chicken curry with lots of green veg

got 2 pounds of holiday bloat still to loose. I’d like that off by Friday latest.
@hollyblueivy good work. Knew it would! Sure u will get to 10.8.5 on Friday or lower. Hope the other girls r ok?? No new joiners?? :)

Today not gone to plan! Starving and picked all day!

Well this isn’t good

weight after a reset - 11.12
day 2 - 10.11
day 3-11.12

loss - nothing
goal 10.3
9 pounds to goal

went off track yest. Was bored and hungry yest. And have a cold and just ate ! Back to work today. Routine suits me so should manage to get down for tmrw

Hope today is a better day for you @Smartmove and your cold doesn't last.

10:9:0 today - had omelette, beans and salad for lunch and dinner so did well to stay away from bread and got loads of water in.

Also worked out yesterday and hoping to get another in today even if it's just a short one.

If I can keep focussed I should be able to get the 10:8:5 by Friday. No plans this weekend either so would be good if I can maintain over the weekend. Better not look too far ahead though.

@jelly

How are you both getting on?

10:8:6 really chipping away at it this week with diet being my primary focus.

Had soup yesterday and then prawn stir fry for dinner. I can't believe I haven't had bread this week, so far.

Oh I did have a small chocolate bar yesterday too and some yogurt with banana and grapes.

No exercise but will try to get a workout in today.

Wouldn't be surprised if omelette features again today, without bread I'm struggling to think of lunch ideas.

Hope everyone is doing alright.

Shocked to see 10:7:5 on the scales this morning.

Shocked to see what I am capable of when I put my mind to it, which I don't think I've done for a single week this year.

Shocked I didn't have to actually make too many changes to get results.

I broadly stuck to my list of intentions set out on Monday.

Let's see what the weekend brings and I may try to do similar from Monday next week.

Aim for the next Friday is just to maintain the 10:7:5 as I'm half expecting this to be a blip.

Would love to hear from you all.

@hollyblueivy well done really pleased for u! Bet u feel amazing and ur so close to goal. How are u going to manage the weekend have u decided?

sorry not posted I’m in some weird plateau which is quite frankly upsetting me!!!! I’m stuck at 10.12 . I’ve not done any excercise as been undert the weather but I’ve been sticking to under 1000 cals and eating whole foods. I got to 10.11 went up a pound due to off track day. And am stuck there. So I’m going to start moving more and really focus on steps and pelaton which has stopped this last week . I feel well enough to get back on

so just to depress me further I’ll weight update

day 2 - 10.11
day 3-10.12
day 4-10.12

Hello all! Well done @hollyblueivy , that’s a good loss.
My scales have broken so I don’t know what I am but suspect I’m the same. I’ve been focusing on healthy eating in the hope that I lose weight and lower my set point but it doesn’t seem to be working. The book (why we eat too much) says it might take months to work which I’m not sure I have the patience for!
Fast 800 is the only thing that really worked and I need to get myself in the mindset to do it for a solid week or two.

after a reset - 10.12
day 2 - 10.11

im going out today for a pub lunch. Not sure how to get through that everything is so high cal! I’m wondering if I can fast till 430pm when we are going? I fasted till 12 yest but not sure I could have gone further

@Chunkymonkey123 well done for eating healthy! That’s a great win even if scales take longer to move
@hollyblueivy hope ur navigating ur weekend ok after ur fab loss!
@jelly79 are u back on wagon!

@Smartmove it's going in the right direction so well done and keep going. Enjoy your meal out today.

@Chunkymonkey123 Sounds like you're on the right track are you feeling good in your body for your healthy eating?

@jelly79 How is that half marathon training going?

I'm 10:9 today so expected increase as the weekend but hoping I don't do too much more damage today so I'm not chasing my tail all week.

10:7:5 aim for next Friday which is a maintain on this week.

@hollyblueivy wheh u fasted that time how did u do it? I last ate at 430 last night so if I wait till 430 it’s a 24 hours fast….dont think I’ll manage! But even then I had a look and a pub roast is like 1500 cals ! I’m not drinking at least….

I ate my dinner by about 6pm and then missed breakfast and lunch the following day, having an early dinner the next day - I think I stopped the fast a bit early as I was hungry but that was the intention.

10:10:4 today

Monday weigh is the worst.

I want 10:7:5 by Friday so need to do all the good things I did last week to get 3lb off in essentially 4 days as I weigh in the morning.

I need to not indulge so much on the weekends as this is a vicious cycle that I'm getting so fed up with!

after a reset - 10.12
end of week 1 - 10.9.9
day 8-10.10.5

loss - 1.5 pounds.
goal 10.3
7.5 pounds to goal

expected a rise as was good all of yest - didn’t fast but then had a full on roast and pudding I totally enjoyed it and was worth it! I also did a 30 min pelaton which absolutely killed me. So I think 0.6 rise isn’t awful but I’m still not getting closer quickly!

anyways no plans now till
mothers day aim to get to 10.9 at least by then.
puriton shake
chicken and avacado
Thai red curry with lots of veg

@hollyblueivy it will come off in 1/2 days. Take ur Friday weight to show you what’s really going on!

Oh just a small win for me yest. I usually if I’m going out I go “f it I’ll just eat anything and everything all day”. But I didnt - I didn’t cal count but I ate sensibly till I got to dinner where I really fancied the full on Sunday roast
i had yoghurt and fruit and avacado and seed salad in the day…and did my HIT

im hoping this sort of thing means I don’t go crazy on my nights off…

10.12.6 starting weight. My plan is 800-1000 a day and a goal of a 5 pound loss.

922 plus about 5 cups of tea with milk. I did go swimming though so hopefully that gets me near 800 😂

@Chunkymonkey123 thanks for the book advice I’m listening to it. Super interesting. Def can relate to some of it esp set Point. I think the main thing I’ve taken away is less upf which I knew and how excercise helps - not just for burning calories. Def will keep me focussed!

im on 900 but working 8-now and so exercise. Will do a session tmrw.

Stuck at 10.10 still.been on 900-1000 last 3 days and done excercise. Surely will move tmrw,?!!!

10:9:3

Quite a few treats have slipped in this week and only one exercise so far.

Will try to have a good day today and get a workout in.

10.10
in a plateau. Got to push through . Am out on Sunday but can stick to plan till then

this last 7 is so hard!!
aim 10.9 next Friday
