Hello everyone, been reading through and just had to join.

Hope that's OK?

I would be looking to lose about 1 stone 3lbs by Friday 11 April - so 17lbs in 8 weeks.

I really empathised with what you were saying about food=treat ellie99 I have a very similar problem myself and it is incredibly hard to get out of this habit. Whether it be pepping myself up, congratulating myself, eating my sorrows - any emotion comes down to this need to do it with food.

After a difficult relationship with food in my teens, I have finally decided to get a weighing scale.
I have been trying to lose weight since January, and it was only last week that I actually managed to lose weight (after gains and losses over Jan leaving me exactly where I started). I am really hoping I can stay the same to at least maintain my weight loss from last week.

Bad day today

B
L - 2 x cookie, 1 pinch cake
S - not had yet, but prob cheese on toast.
E - 10 min walk, 10 min running up and down stairs.


Mini-win for today - Could have had whole slice of carrot cake, but just had a pinch of sponge (no icing) and then gave the rest of slice away.

Of course you can join in! If you want to join in the current challenge there are 7 weeks to go - (including this weekend's weigh in) so I would need to know how much you would hope to lose in that time (basically by the end of March)

I weighed myself this morning (I weigh myself on whatever day I remember to take my glasses to the bathroom!) and can't say it's been an unexpected gain:

+1.5lb gain for me this week

I've been doing a cookery course lately, and originally kept forgetting that I would have food coming out of the class, so bought my usual food shop as well. A lot of excess bits reached their use by this week, and I have run out of space in the freezer thanks to the course! I ate the equivalent of two dinners tonight to avoid throwing anything out... That is a bad habit!

Still I need to look onwards and upwards - I'm sure others here know what it's like when you know you will have a gain, you sometimes eat treats for the rest of the week! But whatever I was doing in January was working, so now I need to go back to that and join the gym!

Caterina

B. Whole oat porridge with chopped nuts and almonds and a squirt of maple syrup
S. 2 hobnobs
L. Low fat cream cheese in 2 slices rye, broccoli and Stilton soup, pear

Caught the 1st ep of Hairy Bikers last night, Si King looks really good and has kept up the weight loss, is it just me or do you think Dave has put a lot on again?

Hi BlueMoo
It's hard, isn't it? Personally I want to stop "eating my sorrows", because I don't really enjoy the food then. I think, though, that life would be a little bit duller if we couldn't have treat meals sometimes for good reasons. I'm aiming for eating "properly" about 80% of the time

Sorry, I can't weigh in this weekend as I'm away from home again with no scales. I'm hoping I'm STS anyway. My meals have been a bit bigger than they should, but I've stopped snacking again.
I've realised that when I eat crisps or chocolate I feel bad...bloated and just generally lethargic and "yuck"..weirdly, it also hurts my tongue! So why would I eat something that makes me feel like that?

I've managed a few walks this week, but am now only able to potter in the house again :mad: Yesterday the crazily strong wind caught my car door, and stupidly I've ended up with an injured back again. I think my back must be so unstable now that it doesn't take much to move things that shouldn't be moved IYKWIM. Hopefully it will improve soon, I've things to do!
