That's right lantanna. Don't knock it. You're going in the right direction.:T


larumbelle, unless you're trying to do SP, then fried potatoes are an excellent filler with breakfast instead of toast then you can keep your HEB for something else. Tinned potatoes are very easy and very mse:money:unless you have leftovers to use up.

Going to go and look at first post again and read it.

Also going to read what are now speed foods.

I got to be doing something wrong since Christmas.

Christmas/ New Year week yes was naughty but since in my eyes I been good. I could have cried when I stood on scales and saw weight.

tweets, are you weighing at home by any chance?

I only ask because I can get my weight on my home scales to vary by up to a stone!!!! Depending on how they are positioned, how I stand on them etc. So if you are using home scales, it could be the scales themselves that are at fault.

Once I stopped going to group I weighed myself only once per month, but at the pay-scales at Boots that give a printout. They have them in leisure centres etc as well. They look a bit intimidating as they have a screen and flashing lights and I was convinced they were going to tell the world my weight LOL In fact the lights are to measure your height and the screen gives you instructions. Your weight etc is just discreetly printed out on a little reciept for you.

Definitely do check that you are following the plan completely correctly, ask on here or post your food diary if you are unsure. I know that I have assumed something is free only to find I've eaten huge amounts of syns before (some kind of cooked meat, I am super-careful with them!) so it really is worth being super-vigilent when you are new. And do remember that even if you are following the plan 'to the letter' you still need to be sensible, I do try to make sure I get a lot of speed foods even though this is not considered essential.

But don't lose heart whatever happens! Even if you do show a gain, you have made positive steps towards a healthier you, and whatever the scales say that is a huge achievement! :T There will be times when the scales seem to be conspiring against you, you stick to the plan completely but still gain or STS. Others when you are naughty and don't deserve a loss but you get one anyway. But the journey is long, it evens out over time, and it is not a race, in fact it doesn't even have a finishing line. It is a change of lifestyle, one you are already on the way to making, so don't be hard on yourself. You haven't failed, you have tried. HUGE difference!

End of week 2 weigh in & I can't believe I've lost another 3lb. I'm so pleased and have to thank everyone on here as although I don't post much, I do read them all every day and it's a great way of keeping motivated.
Good luck to everyone on this week's weight loss journey and to those not quite on track, just keep on going and look at the positive steps you're making which may not necessarily show on the scales.
