Thought I'd save you the hassle @poorpaws.

Well done for those who have lost and good luck to those struggling.

My focus at the moment is just to be wiser for food selection and to keep active. The slow moving scales can wait although I did check this morning and showing I'm nearly back to 14 and a half stone.

Happy Birthday @ClaraTheImpossibleGirl . They don’t deserve you!

So… little gain for me this week. I think that’s inevitable. When I look back through my diaries I have grazed a fair and I don’t think I’ve written everything down. Plus I’m due on, and haven’t run. So it’s the perfect storm for a little gain I think.

onwards into the weekend. In principle it could all go to plan but I feel like I have a few things that are out of my control food wise. We have friends with our ds’s football team and they have suggested a pub lunch, they are lovely people but they do love a meal out and to be honest to me it feels like a total waste of calories and money. It also annoys me a little bit, the wife of this couple comes to the gym with me and my god, she moans and moans, she hates cardio, she won’t do weights, snd she moans that it didn’t work and she doesn’t lose weight or look any different! That’s because you eat out 2-3 times a week!!! But hey, they are genuinely nice, funny, kind people so that’s my rant over 😂

Anyway…. Today. I’m going to go for a very gentle walk/run to test out my hip. I will probably fast til lunchtime. I’m taking ds swimming but he can’t swim so it’s not exactly exercise for me, and this evening I need to do my stretches again for my hip. Food wise, it will depend on whether we have lunch out or not. If not, salad and something for lunch, and dinner will be again meat/ veg in some combo. I got some chipotle and lime seasoned chicken with my shopping so I’m thinking maybe that with salad and mayo (I do genuinely love salad!)

happy Saturday y’all

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl happy birthday for last week, I think everyone has been horrible to you and I don't understand it. I'm not a "card person" but I send cards to people who love them and a text or other message should be standard, karma will bite them, you'll see.

DP will have flapjacks etc, in fact he will eat anything I make (he thinks I'm a super cook, I'm not!). How long this will last I have no idea. Before meeting me he had loads of chips and pies but he's turned that around now. He's thin and will eat absolutely anything but he's now learning about healthy eating which is a good thing if he didn't think I was the worlds greatest dietician with secret powers. 😁

It's going well for me atm after my horrendous binge earlier in the week. I am going to visit SIL today who has had her second hip operation so I'm hoping to make some scones to take with me (@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl DP will definitely want to eat those). I'd intended to make a cake but won't have time after the dog walk so I can only think of scones that will be quick to make.

Have a lovely weekend everyone, the sun is shining and that makes such a difference. Try not to give in to weekend excess if you can.

Morning all,

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl happy belated birthday. I'm sorry you were forgotten by some. Meanies.

Grey day here so far, hoping it cheers up. I've had my first decent week food wise in ages and am about 1.5 lbs down. It's a good start. Need to keep up the momentum.

Urgh, that sucks @ClaraTheImpossibleGirl. Happy Birthday! Not the same, I know, but can you treat yourself because you know you are awesome and deserve celebrating? My fave present for my 40th was a ring I bought myself because I thought I deserved something for flipping my thinking and looking forward to 40 rather than dreading being 'so old'. The 50 pounds in 50 weeks plan definitely sounds like a brilliant way of treating yourself.
And stop putting the effort in for people who don't give it back. Fuck em! Save that energy for someone who deserves it - you.

Morning all. Thanks for the new thread @poorpaws
yesterday was quite a tricky one for me. I actually planned in some chocolate and then dh got me a bottle of wine which I didn’t really want and would have been completely fine without if temptations hadn’t been there- but once it was in the house, glorious sunny day…. So I had wine and the chocolate, I did manage to stay within a reasonable amount of cals, and I had been for a run which allowed me a little extra as I set my daily limit so low. But I really really wanted more and could easily have eaten junk all evening. I’m due on in 2 days so that’s not really helping. So even though yesterday was technically a success, it felt like a fail really.

I slept well last night and my hip feels a lot better this morning, so a week off it and stretching has made some difference at least. I am running with my friend this morning but it won’t be fast or far, just a chat on the move really.

its just under 2 weeks until we go on holiday and I already feel apprehensive about it. We go with dh’s family every year and I find it quite a long week tbh, they are nice people but I find food very difficult in those sort of situations and I like my own space and my home comforts. I feel embarrassed that I’ve gained weight, considering I am the fittest of all of us and eat the healthiest, it’s not fair that I’ve gained weight year on year and they haven’t, and I feel like they judge me. They will all eat bread, pudding, ice cream, chips, wine and crisps every single day, and I will have a constant mental battle over eating them, and will run and/or workout every day, and yet I will be the one who feels overweight and unhappy - it makes me unhappy if I think about it too much. Life’s not bloody fair is it?!

Anyway. I need my period to come to de-bloat me and then I know i can actually have a decent week and a bit. I fully intend to do low carb/high protein - didn’t really work last week but I will try again. I am currently about 11s2.5lb so I could easily dip below 11 before I go which will be very motivating so that’s my goal.
