Evening all!
Weigh in tmrw morning and I'm not looking forward to it one bit! I was showing a 2lb loss this week but today I have had 2 slices of pizza and a magnum! Thats on top of all my usual daily food. I've also had mcdonalds, kfc and a large chinese this week!! Im still off the crisps though!
Hopefully get a sts this week (Geez who am I kidding lol), but more realistically accept my gain and move on!
I'd let to make some commitments for this week to get me back on track :
1: Start posting my menus on here again (hope you all dont mind!) as it really helps me stick to them.
2: Make more of an effort with my water drinking,aim for at least 2L per day
3: Go back to what I was doing in week 1 & 2 ie 3 meals and a small evening snack

Thats my goals for this week, nothing too drastic, should be okay:D!

Ps well done Dragon on your fantastic loss!

Hi all - I have either lost a pound or stayed the same this week, not 100% sure which because I can't remember what I weighed in at last Monday, how pathetic! Anyway, I do know that I have lost a total of 5lbs so far this month, I intend to really go for it this week to try to shift the next 2. Well done to the losers, have a great day xx

Hello all

It's me again, I am going to try to post more often. I have sorted things out with OH (I hope) and am feeling more positive. Now all I need to do is control my eating and do more exercise!! I have been eating far too much and am feeling the effects. I have no idea how to get the willpower to change my bad habits but am going to try.

My current problem is that I simply cannot stop eating, snacking, grazing... it is getting ridiculous! I really need to be strict with myself. Does anyone have any tips for stopping themselves every time they really crave a packet of crisps/half a dozen biscuits?

I've tried to be organised today and brought some fruit and yogurt to work so that I don't snack on junk. Lunch will be HM soup and a slice of HM wheaten bread - no butter! I made such nice bread at the weekend that it doesn't need butter. So that's a start. It's just a matter of refusing all offers of sweets (I work with a bunch of very sweet-toothed people).

I will weigh in tomorrow morning and post it here. I know it's almost the end of June but hey!

How is everyone else getting on? Thanks again for all your kind words, you are lovely. I'm off to read through the thread. Here's to starting over xoxo

I meant to add: before living with OH, I used to eat more during the day than at dinner time i.e. I would have a decent breakfast and lunch and a light dinner. If I'd overeaten during the day, I'd make up for it by eating less in the evening. Now that we live together, I eat dinner with him most nights and he always wants a proper dinner. And I've been eating the same! Although I do make a smaller portion for me when I'm cooking, and ask him to do the same. But it's still more than I would normally eat for dinner. He is a good cook, but he doesn't worry about calories, so he'll make carbonara (tasty but NO VEG whatsoever), curries with coconut milk in, moussaka etc etc - all with the full fat ingredients! So I need to either (a) eat differently to him or (b) change my habits so that I eat less during the day as well and am ready for a substantial dinner when I get home. What do you reckon? Does anyone else have this dilemma?

i got into the habit of making myself and oh the same sized portions of things and they were always too big for me as he is a lot taller than me etc.
instead of starving him whilst i am dieting i started by adjusting portion sizes so he gets more than me. For example if he wants a curry on a friday night i will have the same but have half the portion size he has and no starter, Instead of a naan bread i will have a popadom.
sometimes we do have different meals but that is usually only if he is working late. if i have a weight watcher meal he has the same but whereas i would only have veg with it i would make him chips or similar to bulk it up a bit. also he has puddings like fruit and yoghurt after his evening meal and i tend not to.
i think these are just small changes but the obviously make a difference. he is going to the gym as often as me and maintaining his current weight and i am losing slowly but surely.
i think moderation is the key, having said that i do have the odd blowout and have a big meal but i definitly suffer for it later on!

It varies for me - if OH is working he tends to eat loads for lunch and then not want dinner, whereas atm he's unemployed and wants dinner every evening. I tend to want a 'proper dinner' too (I take a packup at lunchtime and use it to get my 5-a-day in - ie salad and fruit - so I can have 'nice' stuff in the evening). The only problem is when OH is cooking he has no concept of 'low fat' - ie he'll do a healthy, yummy veg stew but use a very large slug of oil to cook the onions - adding about 4/5 WW points to my portion! He eats healthily most of the time so doesn't need to watch his cals but I have a sweet tooth so do!
