  • Annoyed with myself!!!

    I'm up +2lbs

    I just went into self destruct mode this week, does anyone else do this. I felt so great after loosing 5 pounds after the last couple if weeks and my clothes felt looser and I felt good so I didn't track in mfp and just went overboard.

    I have to get back on track today, 2 pounds up is terrible and such a waste if my hard work.

    STS for me, which is a miracle as the beginning of the week resembled an extreme eating contest!

    hi everyone, sorry not been around much this week - so busy at work. Did a sneeky WI on Monday and was up! :mad: but today I am back to where I was last WI so a STS for me.

    My downfall is the weekends - I am nice and organised all week and then on Sat and Sun it all goes to pot. I am going to try really hard this weekend.

    Robin - I am nearly the same as you. I sat at 72 for ages and I have finally dropped to 69.5 - my goal is 65 but not sure if I will get there by Christmas.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend :D

  • Morning All,

    I’m happy to say after the disgraceful week I’ve had I’ve managed to STS despite my indulgences which included a Chinese takeaway last night……..weeelll……. it was my birthday.

    So I’m back to old clothes and porridge today, haven’t yet decided on my meals but they WILL be healthy.......promise ;)

    Hello everyone, please can I join in too (have followed NewLeaf over here)? :)

    Dragon I went from 85kg in Feb to 72kg in July, now creeping up again (about 76kg). :o After watching a couple of documentaries recently I've been trying the feast & fast thingy, but maybe cheating a bit. Would like to get below 70kg by the end of the year if possible.

    B - 2 slices seeded wm toast, butter & lots of marmite (vit. B dose). Tea x 2 (skimmed milk & half spoon sugar).
    L - [Cafe visit] Caramel slice. Tea (full cream milk & tube sugar).
    D - Second half of yesterday's dinner (which I couldn't finish - DS cooked, bless him): Half a baked salmon steak, small baked spud, carrots & asparagus with pepper sauce. Yoghurt. Water.
    S - Couple of handfuls of blackberries from the hedgerow (yummy!).

    E - 3km dog-walk (1km pulled by Clever Dog).

    ETA: Half a small portion of dinner wasn't quite enough as it turned out, so must add a wm sandwich; smoked salmon & cream cheese + tea with skimmed milk.

    *Robin* good to see you - this means you want to lose 13 pounds in 9 weeks (well 13.2 actually!) is that right?

    Erm, probably - it's been many years since I dealt in anything except Kg! ..Think my scales do have a Lbs setting though, so will check when I have my shower and get back to you later, if that's ok? :)
