MOTIVATION through the power of non scales victories

[SPBInDisguise]

All welcome :) losing weight and being healthy through the power of motivation (particularly on Mondays)

I have posted before and after photos now I'm finally on the big computer. Well done everyone, the NSVs are really coming now, motivation is working well.

Yay! Glad we'v got it working! IMST you are practically pocket-sized!! Do indeed be careful in these high winds!!

Oh and to reastie look at your tiny shoulders now! You look very pretty and smiley!

reastie - that is amazing well done!

maintain this week which is ok as I haven't been good. As long as the steps are down and horizontal, I am happy!

Having a wibble! These sodding state of the art wifi clever clogs scales are chucking 3lbs on me!!!!

I am just back from bodypump but wtf?

Weigh again in the morning. I always weigh more in the evening.

Raging that they've wooshed these results straight into MFP!!

Thanks Dsis... Humph

Oh Kato - you haven't gained the 3 lbs, it is just an adjustment blip always happens when changing scales which is why I don't want to change mine

kato if it helps our gym got new scales a few months ago. When I was weighed on them (old and new scales were fancy body fat ones) the gym man said everyone had been weighed as several pounds heavier on the new scales - it was actually the scales being slightly different not everyone putting on a few pounds - could be that? I bet you haven't put on 3 lbs.

IMST wow look at how small you are now, looking great.

reastie I'm taking that reason and running with it! These are the scales I'll be sticking with so might as well suck it up!

0.7 pounds less this morning... Oh well, as long as its downwards and horizontal (steppe I love this!) I can't complain!

Anyone care to share the maths of how many calories 3lbs would be? It's thousands eh?

It's 3500 per pound Kato so it would be 10500.

Right, so I've had the odd Malteaster bunny, but I think I'm in the clear! TY x

Not very well today. Mini-Tobermory have had a nasty bug and think I've got it now. I've shared a bed with her while she was unwell, makes for slightly easier nights, I think so not at all surprising I'm feeling rubbish.

Managed half a shred this morning and had to dig some snow off drive at lunchtime but now just want to eat.
And eat.
And eat.

Reading a thread about creme eggs almost has me salivating!

I have asked Dp to bring nice things home, I hope he doesn't.
Think maybe I should just go to bed when he returns and sleep through the cravings!

Tober sorry to hear about the poorly Tober-clan!

When you don't feel well it is good to eat. Why dont you get DP to bring home some of those baked rice crackers? half a whole pack is only 200cals!

Too late kato, he brought home a tub of rocky road.

The chocolate cake things from m&s.

I'll have one and savour it then go t0 bed!

Nice choice!!

Too nice.... I had 3!
That's 150 calories of delicious chocolatey loveliness.

Yum!

This time last year I'd have eaten the whole lot! No questions!

I had quite a task finding a "before" picture, I was quite adept at hiding from cameras.
Oddly, this Easter I am really not fussed about chocolate. Last Easter I would have eaten a fair bit by now, as there were tins and boxes of chocolates everywhere.

eighty about one Munchy box worth?

tober hope you feel better soon, I always feel ravenous when I'm ill (or when I'm coming down with something) too. I always imagine it's my body trying to build up strength to fight off the bug.

I'm not massively fussed about easter although will try my best to avoid too much choc. I wonder if it's the thought of chocolate and wanting it that's stronger than actually eating it. I had one of those small foil coated chocolate eggs yesterday as someone from work bought in tons for everyone. I thought it would be lovely but instead I just found it too sugary and didn't really taste of much and tbh I didn't really like it that much . ALthough having said that it had a moreish flavour where I could have eaten alot (and then felt really ill). It's like they put something in it to make it addictive so even though you don't like it a huge amount you still want more!

SPB how are you doing?

Hi everyone, I'm back if you'll have me? And thanks reastie for asking
Doing badly tbh, and again it's when I've been busy with work and simply not had time to diet (not had time to not eat - work that one out if you can). But for me it's a physical effort to meal and snack plan and apply willpower!
Have stuck to 1200 cals today and feeling a bit better. First few days back on are always the worst as I feel fat, heavy and fed up AND deprived of all the lovely stuff I was eating before. Vicious cycle. Hoping to get my work finished tonight and then back onto it with a vengeance. Plus have earned an extra day off on Tuesday and a day of taking it fairly easy on Wednesday so should be able to do this.

I have to stick to it :( Please make me. I noticed further down about someone mentioning being a "good" eater vs being a "bad" eater who is making themselves eat well. I'm definitely the second and think I always will be :(
