Morning all.

glad to report a 2.5lb loss :j it's about time as ive been dancing the tango with 1.5lb for the last few weeks, so things are on the move again.

I don't think I had been eating back enough of my workout cals as I up'd my food intake this week

Circuit training and legs,bums& tums tonight.

Food
Toasted wmeal edam cheese sandwich & coffee
salad box & fruit
poached eggs& toast
snacks apple, small chocolate milk.

Tuesday and Wednesday are my lowest food days of the week as I find the exercise kills my appetite

Have a great day everyone

Reporting a no sugar day. It's getting harder to resist, especially because I didn't see a massive weight gain after having sweets...

How do you feel on no sugar? I've never made it past a couple of days as I get headachey but I imagine it'd be worth it if I kept going.

Yes, the first three days (I mean the very first) felt like crap, headache etc, but later on it felt GOOD!! You have a headache when you quit anything addictive, don't you
I still get sugar from fruits but trying not to overdo on them. Healthy fat is much better.
When I tried to get off sugar first time, I lost 2kg in 10days or so with no effort, skin got clearer, sleep was better. Now I eat paleo-ish diet so I can't say I'm healthier because of cutting sugar out, I've also cut grains and potatoes out, changed the meat quality, stopped eating ready meals, now eating more veggies...exercising sometimes
Sugar is causing me depressive mood swings. I used to have days when I would find a reason to cry and be sad all day and pity myself. Once a week or every two weeks. Now? Only when I eat sugar.
Had some scars that were healing much quicker if I didn't have this white poison.
Have a tooth that starts getting bad but only hurts when sweets enter my mouth.

(Have to note that very dark chocolate doesn't have any bad effect on me. )

These are just random thoughts as I am about to sleep but it's really worth trying sugarless diet. Google some stories.

I may try it.

My moods are massively affected by my sugar intake as are my energy levels. The more sugar I have the more sluggish I get and the more I have mood swings.

Think I'll give it a try this weekend and see how I get on Thanks for sharing.

ok, there will be a welcome in the hillside;) we can race up it!:j

Eyebright, I love peanut butter kit kats.
I never ever imagined I could control my choclate addiction, its been 40yrs since my summer job in a sweetshop:), at school my lunch money went on a pie and a galaxy bar.
I used to eat 2 large bars a day, or a box of maltesers, or 3 or 4 flakes in a row. I would dunk the galaxy in my tea:D

Dont give up.. I have finally got a grip on it and no longer crave it.

Hi all, Can I join in the fun?

Previously have been very good and over 1.5 years lost 27lbs.
I got to my fittest in April but then took my eye off the ball and started eating/drinking whatever I fancied and not attended my gym so much.

My recent split from my fianc! of 7 years initially saw me comfort eating and gaining half a stone. Decided to dust myself off and get back onto working out & eating well as I feel amazing when I do!

So new focus and motivation to try and be the best me I can be started with gym session yesterday and again today. Aiming to get running longer distances again and to attend gym four times a week at least (make sure I get my money's worth out of membership).

Due to split I should be moving in a month, so I have cancelled my personal training (expensive but very worthwhile I found) as I have a gym buddy with similar goals �� due to split I will need to eat the cupboards and freezers out too of lots if hoarded stuff so will be a challenge to eat healthily but will try!

Welcome kittenkirst It sounds like you are raring to go Good luck with making meals from the cupboards before your move. I generally find that just buying a few vegetables to add to the cupboard stocks means you can turn most meals into healthier versions.
