1st Feb start anyone?

[serran]

Anyone want to join me? It's 1st February tomorrow which seems a good day to start.

Three stone to lose here, I can't put it off any longer. I hate being overweight.

Nothing fits me and I am so miserable.

Well done @Teaplease29 that must feel amazing! Yesterday I had a handful of crisps with my lunch, a biscuit and too much homemade pizza for dinner last night which was delicious but very naughty! I've maintained this morning so I'm really pleased with that. Sunday's are usually cooked breakfast and roast dinner so I will still enjoy them, just less of it and healthier versions and see how that goes.

@Teaplease29 - that's brilliant, I really want my summer clothes to fit this year. Last year I packed them away sadly aware I didn't fit in quite a few. Lockdown and not going into an office didn't help. I am about ready to bin all the scruffy stuff I wear as I am so bored of it all.
Still no biscuits or crisps! We've done long dog walks with the dc so hoping we'll all get a bit fitter again.
Tonight I am hoping dh and I can figure out how to get my new (to me) phone working as it has space for mfp and this phone hasn't.

Well done @Teaplease29 and everyone else that has stayed strong over the weekend! I haven’t the DC have been hardwork (to put it politely!) and I’ve been reaching for all the bad things! Plus we had a takeaway both Friday and Saturday tomorrow is my fresh start! (we’re having a big roast dinner tonight!)

I enjoyed my cooked breakfast and roast yesterday and am 1lb up this morning. I would normally have been having all that plus snacks. There's no wonder I've been stacking weight on! So I've ended the week -5.6lb which I'm really happy with. I'll do the same this week and be healthier this coming weekend and see where that gets me. Target weight is now 2st 3.6lb away so would be nice to get rid of the 3.6lb but that might be a bit ambitious.

Good luck this week everyone!!

Very annoying, put on 1lb after losing 2lb the first week.
I've barely eaten this week as have had a big tooth out and have had one banana and one sandwich over the weekend, as tooth pain complications.
On googling this could be my body doing it's utmost to store the fat in crisis.
Bloody hope so.
Still in pain and waiting for dentist to open.
Was convinced I'd probably lose 3 lbs
Lol.
Hey hi!

Hey ho I meant!

Monday weigh-in. 4lbs off in 2 weeks. Pleased with that.
I had wine and roast dinner etc., yesterday too. Now to keep going and not get complacent that I've lost a bit.
Hope you get your tooth pain sorted @thesunwillout - that sounds awful.

I think my weekend of indulgence has caught up with me, I feel awful today! My head is banging and my stomach is churning, serves me right I suppose!
That’s brilliant @RunningKatie
Hope your tooth is sorted quickly @thesunwillout x

@thesunwillout poor tooth and even more annoying the scale is being a jerk about the food situ. I say ignore the scale and concentrate on looking after yourself and hopefully everything will right itself when you’re recovered!

@LBB2020 that’s sucky too. Take care of yourself.

Well done to the amazing losers again!

I’ve officially managed two weeks on plan now!! I’m well chuffed. Still haven’t stepped on the scales as a bad result will only upset me but having food under control is amazing! I did start wobbling at the weekend for various stress reasons but I didn’t completely ruin anything. I overdid it on fruit consumption yesterday but I’m pretty sure the weight I’ve put on wasn’t exactly down to having too many bananas so I’m not going to stress about it!!! That being said, must make sure to not go overboard on fruit as all those sugary calories can’t be good either...

Halfway through feb now. It’s not going particularly quickly or easily but at least it’s plodding forwards. Have another good day today you guys.

Well done @DisappearingHelen

Well done for keeping on all of you.
I'm doing really well on my lowish carbing. So nice to not be using that twatty oil spray and snacking on shit all the time, just real food, it's keeping me full and the sugar cravings have nearly gone! I'll brave the scales at the end of the week x

I broke my streak! Last night the stress on top of stress had me moping and self criticising and wondering what the bloody point was. So I ate. I ate during my ‘fasting’ period after 8pm, and I ate lots of crisps and the last ‘scraps’ of Nutella and the 3 remaining biscuits in the house. I tracked it all and have taken the ww points hit and it wasn’t pretty but definitely could have been worse. I feel fairly dehydrated and have an upset tummy this morning which I’m hoping will help remind me to drink water and take better care of myself today.

I tried everything yesterday to better deal with the stressors; I did some meditation, did some exercise, took a nice long bath, went to bed early etc but despite them all helping me feel a bit better momentarily it didn’t last. The stress isn’t going away yet (and nothing I can do about it) so I need to just make sure i handle the voice inside me that tells me eating will help! It never does! Hopefully it was just a blip.

Plan today: stick to food plan. Survive the evening without succumbing to overeating.

Hope you all fared better than me.

Sorry so many people are feeling stressed. I've had a grumpy couple of days for various reasons. Wonder if it's a full moon or something?! Well done @RunningKatie for your loss and @DisappearingHelen for staying on plan. Hope everyone feels much better soon.

I have lost the 1lb I had put back on this morning so pleased with that. I'm finding it much harder this week to resist snacking! Fingers crossed for another good losing week 😊

Well done to everyone!

DisappearingHelen I know the feeling, I eat emotionally too and nothing else seems to work. I hope you have a less stressful day today. I’ve started allowing myself a 40 cal options hot chocolate just before my fast, I seem to be able to hold off the treats before then if I know I have that to look forward too and i find it quite calming. I then brush my teeth after it because it seems to put me off eating after.

4lbs down this week for me

Checking in - everyone is doing so well. I started my period last night and weighed 10/9 this morning, which is 2lb up on yesterday. That HAS to be water weight, right? I tend to feel a bit sicky with it so it's not like I'm eating loads of chocolate or anything. (I'm more a crisp person anyway!)

Onwards.

Definitely water weight @Judystilldreamsofhorses!
Hope you’re feeling better soon @DisappearingHelen and less stressed.
I’m still feeling a bit ropey so managed to stay on track yesterday as I couldn’t really face eating much.
Well done @Onamissionn that’s brilliant!

disappearinghelen well done on your 2 week streak, you've done awesome and I'm sure you will be straight back on it today.

I've been reading the thread and am so pleased for everyone who's stayed on plan. I've not been great (surprise, surprise) but I'm finally feeling fully recovered from my op and had a really nice weekend with DP, we ate & drank and did a few quizzes. It was so much fun.

I'm starting the Fast 800 from tomorrow, having pancakes tonight.
I've been and bought lots of fresh ingredients, will do a proper menu later and am looking forward to getting stuck in.
No booze either!!

Keep going everyone.

Well. All I can say today is....pancake day....

+0.2lb up this morning. I expected worse to be fair! Back on it today. Good luck everyone

How's everyone doing today?
I've realised I've not been drinking as much water as I was last week so trying to remember to do that today.
I'm on a day off as it's half term but the dc are enjoying lazy days so I suspect that's their plan!

Good luck with your fast @StrawberryFizz26
I’m feeling much better today
Enjoy your lazy day @RunningKatie, I definitely need to drink more water too!

I forgot to say yesterday that I'd gone up to 12.4 when I weighed myself. I'm not surprised with how much I've been eating!!

I've decided to give up booze for lent so had a couple of drinks last night, I feel dog rough today and would love a bacon butty but I'm not going to do it, I'm going to eat as per the fast 800 plan
I'm following.

Happy Hump Day everyone

I have not been keeping up with water. With a 10 month old, all you want is coffee!
The past two days I have been on a crazy white carb and chocolate binge.. don't know where it came from... jam on toast, pasta, crackers with creme cheese, creme eggs!
I drew a line under it last night.. my weight fluctuated a few pounds around the same time but luckily today I am 10.4 which is still my lowest.. so I hope if I'm good from today I might have got away with it?
Not really drinking in eves since dry Jan so that helps.
And lots of pram walking still about 15000 steps a day

Back to 10/7 today. Bloody fluid retention!

Hi all, just catching up. Have lost about 4lbs which is a miracle as I haven't been good really. Determined to do better from today, especially as I know Boris is going to propose a way out of lockdown next week and I should be elated but it will just make me anxious about seeing people whilst this size. 2 Stones to go... never been this heavy.
