Frugaleers talk food/fitness & weight loss 2019(3)

[Not2bObvious]

Continuing from the last thread

I reckon I'm between 25 & 30. I would like to be the 15

I was on 40% starting out figure I'm about 32.5% now and would like to get to 22%

Have the callipers never used them will get my sis to do them next month

I would say I was around 35%-37% before my holidays, now I’m a solid 40-42%. I swear I have ballooned since I got home. Pushed myself to get 15,000 - so hurrah that’s a positive, and I kept to cals & I hit my macros. Day 2 of operation fit back into Lycra free jeans completed!

Lovely sleep last night, feel much better. Scales 163 this morning, was 165.6 yesterday. I changed my Fitbit goal to maintain so I wasn’t looking at the you’ve lost nothing since/or you gained messages on the dashboard. Talk about burying your head in the flab😂
Might try to fast til lunch today, save some cals for tonight. Was meant to go for dinner tomorrow night as out to see a show but I’m now going to eat at home & drive to it so no booze. May or may not have a glass of vino tonight - leaning towards no to save some cals. Not much room on 1700 for 🍷

Scales are not my friend again this week. I seem to have gained a pound a day through the week.

My average is exactly the same as last week which I'm ok with, may drop a little over next two days.

Wolf how horrible for you

Not that message is very disheartening, yesterday my Fitbit had this message for me, but 4 days exercise was still achievable on thurs?

Wow happier, talk about tough love! That’s harsh. Must come from the Team Rh school of ass kicking! And it can’t add either, you show it😉

Happier

Down 0.4lb today. Am on track for my average to be be 1lb!

Excellent wreck

Arms shoulders and abs workout done.

That’s brilliant wreck, great work.
Just had my lunch, kept busy all morning and having no breakfast was no big issue. Have nearly 8,000 steps with full intention of hitting 15,000 or maybe even more!

Happier
Well done wreck.
Fbw today, over steps. Over food as had birthday cake at 354 calories and Gregg's at 337. It was for a birthday

You guys and your steps! So jealous!

Under calories today but not particularly healthy!

Trek bar
Packet of skips
Chocolate rice crispy cake
Two rich tea

Veggie sausage in brioche bun
One waffle
Salad

Three Oreos.

in my defence I have a cold 🤧

Duck sake. 2 bunny binge. Not worth the calories

Unless you ate 2 actual bunnies life, that’s no binge, it’s just a tasty accident 😋 I was in Aldi earlier & I spotted reduced malteser bunny’s but ran the other way! Too dangerous. Over 18,500 steps and just a smidge over 1700. No alcohol, much easier to stick to cals without vino. I ate very well today, all in all pleased. Day 3 of losing the holiday gut

Malteser bunnies. Shite food day yesterday.
Weight is creeping up. Ffs.
16k steps though.

I love those bunnies.

I'm working in the toy shop today. I hope it's busy or I will just eat eat eat. I'm 0.2lb off losing 1lb off my average this week so need to have a good day!

So two of this week’s mystery gained pounds have gone, not that it looks it as my stomach is swollen like a football from all the decongestant pills this week (always happens). Hopefully a couple more will shove off too!
Pilates was good yesterday, I had to miss the week before and noticed it made a difference in how I felt through the week.
Wreck you’re doing brilliantly this week well done

Is your weight really creeping up life, as in your clothes are getting tighter or is it just the usual scales weight flux? If it’s the former than it’s time to take it in hand. And if it isn’t the former yet, it could be on the way. Flux eventually leads to oh f*ck as I’ve learned.
How to take it in hand is the question of course, but I think the place to start of one behaviour at a time. Or set a goal to achieve - haven’t picked mine today yet. Just bracing myself to do my weigh in and hope I’ll see a bit of a drop.

I think the former not. It's food and weak ends I need to got in check.

Weekends are hard. You've done so well life I think you've just hit a bit of a brick wall.

There's a whole tin of chocolate digestives here.

Yep the weekends are the hardest. My life’s been split in 4-5 days good, 2-3 days stupid for years. If only there was an easy answer, I guess personally I needed to want being slim more than I wanted excess food or drink - and the state I’m in now is cause I didn’t want it enough to suffer/deny myself in the short term. Last night I was very close to using up the meagre few cals I hadn’t eaten and blow them on chocolate. But I kept thinking about it, I suppose trying to rationalise it. In the end I compromised & had a light hot chocolate & went to bed. It’s only possible for me to do that now as I’ve gained enough to scare myself. Don’t be like me

I think sometimes it's just a craving and if you tell yourself you'll have it tomorrow with your lunch instead then when that time comes around you don't want it as much. That said I am addicted to chocolate. I should just give it up for a month as that would definitely help but I don't want to

No electricity last night or this morning, used the time to get extra sleep & then went for a run this morning as I knew once dc came home I wouldn't get the chance.

I saw 155.2 on scales this morning
Agree weekends are harder with being out of routine

My steps are good this week but usually they're not wreck
