Lose 100 lbs in 2015

gettingtheresometime

I've started WW as well today though I'm going to try and go it alone in the sense I've got the points calculator already (from a previous weight losing exercise) so will see how it goes.

I'm doing the London to Brighton challenge in May so I know that any weight I can lose before then will be a bonus but I guess I would want to lose weight anyone as I'm feel fat now even though I've always been a big girl lol!

Did you see that diet programme on BBC 2 tonight? Thought it was very interesting and am looking forward to the next two programmes on tuesday and wednesday nights

No I didn't see the programme I will look on IPlayer, that combined weight loss very inspiring ITYC.

Day 2 was good, home made soup for lunch was really good and I must say that Monday to Wednesday being isolated from food and shops is helpful. My first goal is to have lost 14lbs by half term which is the 16th February. I am staying with friends for a few days then and I want to have got somewhere before we meet up. No cheating yet.

Good luck You can do it! Don't go harsh on yourself if it slows down! I did lose reasonable amount of weight couple of years ago and maintained it - it is difficult but it will be great once done!

My thinking is go for the percentages, when you have 100lbs to go why not. Today has been a good day and all of my food has been delicious, early days and the much larger amount of veg and fruit is enjoyable. I am keeping away from carbs as they are my downfall, especially bread, rice and potatoes. Rather like a famous alcohol regime I am taking each day as "I am eating healthily today". No Cheating yet. 38 points. I have a chest xray tomorrow to see if the pleurisy has cleared, I must remember how much my weight added to that particular nightmare.

I watched that diet programme last night as my Dad mentioned it and I also did the online test to find out which category you fall into.


Now, I would say I was an emotional eater - because I tend to reward myself with food and it's all tied up with my childhood and having the sort of perfect family life I've always imagined.


The test said that I was more of a constant craver though. I wouldn't say I don't know when I've had enough to eat and just carry on, because I hate feeling stuffed and will try not to ever get to that stage. I do think about food a lot though and watch cookery programmes.


Has anyone else done the test?

tootallulah

No I haven't but as soon as I have posted this I will. Good day today, still in the honeymoon period. No cheating yet 37 points. I need to work out a strategy for the week-end as that will be my problem, I am off to find out if I am a boredom eater!

Nipping back in I am a Constant Craver.

I thought I have the traits of all 3 and the test showed that too with a slight bias towards emotional eating. Watching programmes about weight makes me want to eat more!

First weigh in tonight and I've lost 6lbs - pretty pleased with that!

tootallulah

ciderwithrosie that is absolutely brilliant, well done you. My first weigh in should be next Monday but I don't have any scales, I am hoping that the local Boots has some otherwise I will be forced to buy some. Another good day with delicious home made scotch broth for lunch and I am going to have smoked haddock with poached eggs and some veg for my tea. No cheating yet.
