Fab it was hard going!

Grr 1lb on for me taking me back to 10 stone 8 but it was sort of to be expected! Yesterday was the most food I’ve eaten since I started this and it’s also the first week I’ve managed 2l of water per day so I’m probably properly hydrated for the first time so that’s got to add weight right?

Will see what next week brings

Good luck for this week everyone.

Morning everyone! 2 of my 6 back at school today so an earlier start and now at my laptop craving biscuits 🤣
Seem to have gut away with my binge at the weekend, holding on to my loss this week by an ounce...Would be so happy to get under 10 stone this week, so will try and stay on the wagon!
You've reminded me about water loving! It should help with the weight loss long term, flushing out the excess salt etc (I think?). I just find drinking it so dull. Does gin and tonic water count? 🤪

'gut away' - Freudian slip!

@diege. Good gut/binge Freudian slip! And yes, of course tonic water counts

@lovinglavidaloca Yes I bet it's to do with being properly hydrated now.

Eating's definitely been creeping up a bit here last couple of days, also not much 'exercise' as have been busy doing garden projects. Not sure sitting in a hole digging out tree roots uses that many calories unfortunately, and certainly not painting trellis!

Good luck this week you lovely lot x

Ahhh I'm sure water will have something to do with it... I always weigh less if dehydrated!

I'm hungover and fighting the urge to binge on rubbish 🤣🤣

Had a really stressful day at work. I'm sure tomorrow will be better. Really want to have a drink! On a Monday

Boss being crap basically. Did a talk about staff morale which was basically 'I've been working really hard, feel sorry for me'. Yes no one else has done anything, clearly.

Rant over!

I feel your pain owlina! I think some managers have taken 'entitled' to a whole new level in lockdown! Egos are running wild 🤣 Did you have a drink? 🤪

Oh hope rubbish and insensitive! 😠

ALERT ALERT ALERT

Someone has fallen well and truly off the wagon this week! I don’t know what it is but I’m so hungry all the time!!

Tempted to just take a week off and go to maintenance calories but then I might never darken this thread again because I’ll never stop eating

Jump on... the wagon is returning so you can jump on!!!

I'm all got talking a week off though, I find it hard to keep it up long term... just make sure you come back!!!

I’m hoping I can pull it back today. I’m not over my calories yet but will have to do without dinner to remain under. So don’t want to give up now!

I just went for a jog and fell over. I have grazes knees, thighs, hands and elbows, scratches down my stomach. It was ridiculous. I am not meant to exercise. Think I will also be (limping) off the wagon for the eve and I'm going to enjoy some chocolate to make me feel better!

Oh no @overwork hope not too painful?

@loving... tin of soup? Sometimes sees me through... no... don't give up after all your hard work! How long have we been hoping? 10 weeks?? That's amazing and a few days/ a week isn't with losing that

Sounds painful overwork, hope you are ok.

Don't give up loving! Do what you need to do today, get back on the wagon tomorrow.

Been for a run tonight, looking forward to dinner, I'm starving!

I'm fine, I'm a bit embarrassed and sore but a nice bath will help. I might need a little encouragement to go again but I'm determined not to stop, after all I was halfway through week 4!!

Overwork it’s cool, you’re a hardened warrior now bearing the scars of battle !

I had mushroom soup for dinner for about 90 cals so it’s doable loving !

Oh falling over is horrible... I hate the shock of it. I always cry even if it doesn’t hurt that much!!
And bosses too. Mine keeps stealing my ideas and making out they’re hers! Difficult to call out mid meeting without sounding petty though... and I avoid confrontation at all costs.
Just watched The Salisbury Poisonings. At the end they were all having dinner and it looked so nice... felt hungry and had to go to bed to avoid the kitchen. 😂

I have been given this beauty today, which describes itself as a bourbon biscuit covered in chocolate. Lush! Waiting for the right moment to enjoy! Maybe after weigh in on Thursday.

Yum! Put it in the fridge!

@overwork I hope you’re ok!!

I’m back on the wagon today after my couple of not great days. Going to try and have less calories for the rest of the week to undo some damage.

Just had two boiled eggs for breakfast there which is what I was having at the start of this and it seemed to work well. It’s the cornflakes that are killing me.

Weather is horrendous here! Glad I'm not sure a run in this!!

Due not sure!

Stayed the same here! 😩 (well 8oz off which I'm not counting!). Suspected it would be the case after last week's 2 pound off! Stuck to my calories but I have been 'eating' the exercise I've done back so might stop that..
Good luck everyone!
