    Hey peeps,

    Didn't WI last week as was suffering from sun stroke - not fun!

    So WI last night & put on 3.5lbs :mad:

    It's my own fault, lots of bread & crisps & ice lollies

    & even when people keep saying i have an excuse - doesn't mean i should be using it!

    I can't seem to get back into the swing of things, keep picking wrong choices - how can i get out of this rut?

    I spose i haven't put on as much as i could have done but it's still 9lbs in 20 weeks :eek: If i carry on it will be nearly 1.5st at the end :(

    Well done to all you loosers & chin up to those struggling x

    I will eat lots of free veg & salad, but I think you can over do the fruit.

    I think 2 portions of fruit is enough per day, max 3, what do others think?

    I do agree with you MrsE, I am at target and was having 2-3 portions of fruit per day and maintaining fine - I started to eat more fruit - probably 5-6 portions per day and my weight had started to creep up by a few pounds. Last week I cut back on the fruit slightly and I lost 3lbs :j :j :j so I am now exactly back to my target weight. I think it was Lantanna that was having the same problem too.

    Great losses Rob, Beanie & Lantanna - best of luck to all those with WI today.

    Totally agree and I think this is the first place people should try to cut back if they're not losing.

    Well done Robpw2 & Beanielou. I'd 2.5 lbs off last night bringing my total up to 18 lbs now. I was delighted and long may the losses continue!

    Brilliant Lantanna especially after such a big loss last week - well done and just keep doing what you're doing as it's obviously working.

    Hey Nessie216 don't beat yourself up. Just go back to basics, write everything down and plan - you know how to do it but have probably just become complacent like so many of us.

    what about the rest of the food ... this would do me for one meal lol

    there was a women in group who never ate breakfast and lost 1lb a week on avergae we convinced her to try breakfast and this weeks she recorded a 3lb loss ... so eating more does help and breakfast is a way to kick start your motabilism ... though she said she ate cold beans ... Yeuck
