New thread to continue our chat

Dd has seen pics ds hasn't.

Once I exchange I'm going to take them to see it from outside!!

300 over as freshly baked rubarb flapjack fell into my mouth as DM dropped some off today.
10k steps. Tried more but an emotional day meant my head wasn't in the zone. I'm fine just work stuff

Worth going over for freshly baked goods, I’d love something like that. Around 300 cals left so might see what I can find - won’t be anything as nice as that though. Got my 15,000 steps, got my family duties done. Bit tired now. Probably busy tomorrow with month end tasks, be good to be busy

Wtf 2lb up today. No idea why flux. Not recording that bastard

That sucks life, definitely agree about not recording it. Just water clearly. I’m down .4 but still up on average. I’ll very likely be looking at a gain this week, or a maintain if I’m very well behaved (let’s not take bets on that coming into a long weekend)
My average last week was 162, I’m 162.2 today but my average is 162.8. Taking too long to get shot of the weekend excesses. Isn’t it tedious sometimes?
Pissing down here, done just over 6,500 so far with walkie talkies. Starting work in 10, aka roll onto the couch!

Maybe I need to shave my legs and knock a couple of lb off

Sounds like it was worth going over for life those flux's are a nightmare when they're unexplained.

I didn't walk yesterday, think it was first time dog hasn't been out since we moved to current house at end of Feb, so I took here out for 20 mins before work this morning and we'll go for a longer walk this evening. Was just wiped out.

Will be another 8-12 weeks before moving, the contracts are incomplete.

168, 167.1, 165.5,165.5

I’m now remembering why I don’t buy coleslaw, just devoured my teeny 50gr that was meant to be with my dinner. 126 calories! Just over 16,000 steps.
I wonder is a haircut would help my scales, starting to resemble a scraggy gray haired Rapunzel. Not a look

Possibly hormones. Could eat the world and I look 6 months preggo with bloat. Inanimate objects are making irrational noises. Always a key sign. Currently over again but about 350 and woeful steps but did a decent cycle with DS and was shattered

Hello lovely people, I've had a day at work and I'm knackered again, I need to conquer this as it is just wiping me out and then I'm reaching for snacks as I'm so hungry whilst making dinner or sometimes dinner is just something on toast or sandwiches and then I'm snacking late at night!
So I either need to up my exercise at home or go out and do at least 10,000 steps a day to try and get some balance.

Life, ex has now given me the long bar, so I'm going to sit down tomorrow night/ Saturday morning, watch all those links you sent me, properly, and make a schedule.
I also had a big flux today and there is no way I'm recording it!

Not, I need a haircut and I'm sure it would be at least half a lb (probably not really as I have a pixie cut), but I can hope. Definitely not a time to have short hair!

Was my last day in this job so been a bit of a rollercoaster. Waaayyy over calories now. Reset tomorrow. Will go for a walk in a bit too try and get 10k as only on 5 ATM

Hope you got your walk life, bit of fresh air might be what you need. Finished a contract in the middle of this and it felt very sad - never got to say goodbye or thanks to anyone or vice versa- awkward & crap. I hope yours was a bit nicer, is your change a promotion within the same organisation? Might have it wrong, sorry if so. If you’re feeling hormonal too that’s not going to help.
I have had wine, chocolate, crisps and quite a bit more coleslaw (not all together haha)
Very hard to balance the getting in after a busy day and not wolfing down whatever you can curvy, esp at the moment.

Yes it's a promotion in the same organisation. Same directorate. But not with this team

Input my splurge into mfp, 300 over but I’d say I’m being a bit optimistic. Meh, scales will catch me out so I’m only fooling myself.
Should go to bed and away from the kitchen

I didn't input my splurge but was about *800. Scales back to a sensible level today.

I seem to be piling on the pounds every day and I can't work out why. I'm not going anything different to what I've been doing for the rest of lockdown. It's infuriating

Scales hovering between 162.2-162.4, decided I’m recording 162.2
Over 9000 done already as did walkie talkie for nearly 1.5 hours. Poached egg on toast for breakfast

Busy day at work, even though the deliveries haven't been busy I've been busy on my pc!

168, 167.1, 165.5, 165.5, 165.5 - it'll be Tues before I'm on again.

I think I'm back under control though

wolf salty food? less water?
life good luck with new job x

Scales are a law unto themselves a lot of the time wolf - must be fluid or something but it’s so disheartening all the same.
I am still up on last weeks average, now by .6 - that’s my reward for losing 1.8 last week. Sigh....

Sts - gain is now around .5
Just keep plodding on. Didn’t go mad with food yesterday but did drink too much wine. Paying for it now

Up today but once again I didn't follow plan
How do I break this cycle? In really sick now. Not down just sick.

Hola! Too scared to weigh myself but my jeans are tight and my thigh gap has disappeared so I'm back.

I'm going to eat better for a week and will then do my first weigh in.

Hope everyone is ok?

I'm at work mom-thurs but it's so quiet I just want to eat all day, I will be drinking more water to try and stop the snacking.

Welcome back wreck.

Wreck it's lovely to see you

Lost one of the mystery pounds gained. Two more to go just to get back to "normal" lockdown weight

Life I think it's hard because all your normal routines are out of whack. Kids potentially baking more for school. Being in the house for three meals a day. I'm trying to focus on zero snacking (a total failure yesterday) but I'm conscious that lunch is often now a sandwich or soup where it would have been a snack previously and often has a biscuit at the end of it. Can you up exercise a tiny bit this week and see if that makes a dint?

Sts again so officially .5 up. That’s the pattern, it appears - could be better.
Nice to hear from you wreck, it has been a while I think? Days/weeks all melding together.
We’re not in normal times life, anything too punitive is futile & counter productive. How about trying back to real basics, 3 meals a day, 2-3 snacks if you need, 2 litres of water, 7500-10,000 steps. Get into a rhythm and then when you feel better, more exercise if you’re able for it - more for the mind than the body. Sod the poxy scales
