Morning all
Have been off my game for a few days again - but am back this morning hoping to get back on it properly.
Lovely to see that the thread has been so busy and you have all been supporting each other 😊
@Yocal I tried the tortilla over the weekend and it was lovely both hot and cold the day after - what a great idea, thank you. I've ordered some Feta on my shop this week as I think that will go with it really well. Like you - I really need some fruit and veg after a weekend laden with crisps, chocolate and wine so have added plenty to my food shop!
2.7lbs is a fantastic loss @BookSuperWorm whoop whoop! Like you, I need the thread for accountability, hence back on here to start again this week.
Just adding Falafels to my shop this week too @SnuggleBuggleBoo I love that this thread is giving me new food ideas and reminding me about things I had forgotten 😃
@Openmouthinsertfood sorry you've had another binge - life is like that sometimes - I've had a poor weekend foodwise too but we just have to put it behind us and move forwards. We're all here cheering you along (and step away from the meringue cheescake until Christmas!) 🙂Great news on the diabetes test results - might that be a positive side effect of you trying to lose weight and eat more healthily? Take the wins where you can get them and that's a particularly good one!
@Sammy900 welcome to the thread. I tend to weigh in on Sundays but others weigh in on different days and at different intervals, just do what suits you. I use the thread for accountability as when I don't (ahem...like this weekend) I tend to go majorly off plan. We all try to be supportive and cheer the successes and offer support and advice if needed for the days when life just gets in the way of our good intentions. Alcohol is my nemesis too - I find it far harder to stick to plan when I've had a glass of wine... 🙂
@Gemzee That graph is a beautiful thing - well done on maintaining for so long, it really is difficult. I am going to get tough with myself this week as I've been slipping a lot so lets be strong together 💪
Well done on another 2lbs off @Houseoflove that's awesome - well done!
@LaBelleSauvage123 A loss is a loss and you should be proud of it. It's another step closer to your goal, it might just mean you need a few more steps than you thought to get there. @SnuggleBuggleBoo made a good point that any loss or a STS means you're jeans won't get any tighter 🤗
@Bloodylovetelly another pound down - well done! Glad you're finding the thread helpful. I think you're spot on that we have to indulge sometimes, and recognise that it's ok to do so. For me I just have to make sure the indulgent days don't outweigh the careful days and at the moment it's pretty level pegging 😫Hope you enjoyed your weekend with your houseguests.
Welcome to the thread @CatMattress and well done on the 1Kg lost so far. I can commiserate with you on the DP front - mine seems to be able to eat and drink what he likes without putting any weight on for ages and then when eventually he does gain a bit and he decides to diet it seems to just fall off him no problem at all. Life is just not fair 😡
@LBB2020 A sts is better than a gain and it sounds like you've identified what you could do differently this week - join me in trying to make this week better than last, in my case it couldn't be much worse to be fair....😆
Congratulations on your baby girl@Imtootiredtothinkofausername you've lost an amazing amount so far - well done, that must have taken some effort! I think the last bit is the hardest. I'm also down to the last half a stone or so and finding it hard going now. Hopefully the thread and all the lovely posters can keep us motivated (as well as avoiding the maltesers...)
Right - 10 weeks to go until Christmas. I need to get serious. I have a fairly boring week ahead so no nights out to distract me or big work stresses looming to make me want to eat and drink to excess.
I've weighed in this morning at 10st 3lb so another creep back up. This weight is the very top end of where I feel comfortable and where my clothes just fit but are tight. I need to lose at least half a stone to fit in most things comfortably again and a bit more to get into absolutely everything without feeling restricted.
10 weeks is enough to at least get the first half a stone of that off. I've done a 30 minute Olivia Lawson metabolic walking workout this morning followed by a 15 minute legs workout with growingannanas. I always tend to stick to calories better when I've worked out.
Mini goals for this week are to up my fruit and veg and drink more water.
Lets do this!
