Must try harder!

If your sticker book makes you smile, you can afford it and it helps you keep to plan….enjoy it 👍👍👍👍
I start off really well when I’m logging a diary but never keep it up longer than a week or so. I buy nice but cheaper notebooks and use pretty coloured pens - I always intend to keep up with them but once I miss a day seem to be forever be on catch up.
Well done on the new calorie counting scheme 👍

Good morning and happy Wednesday ☕️ Back to work for me and oh how the coffee is needed!
Since Monday my BMI has dropped a point so that’s a tiny win. The scales are going down, but in fractions of a pound. I expect it will take at least 6 months and possibly a year to get where I need to be, so I’m prepared for the long haul. Not enthusiastic, but prepared 😅
I am just taking a quick break to eat a porridge pot for my breakfast…it’s been a long day already.
I hope you all have a good day ☕️

Happy Wednesday to you. 

Well done on the BMI result. My thinking is ‘it didn’t go on overnight so it won’t come off overnight’ 👍

That’s true, but it certainly goes on a lot quicker than it comes off 😢

Yes it’s definitely true it takes a lot less time to gain a pound than lose it 🙁

Happy Thursday everyone 😢☕️
My weight marginally increased today! I think it must be because I had rice and veg with tea and that’s a bit heavier than I’ve had all week. I’m definitely within the calories so I’ll have to wait for that to catch back up. I did have just under 1400, where the other days were around 1200, but that’s mostly because I had a made from scratch tea and had to count the separate elements. I also did less steps as I’m chained to my desk again. If I can lose 2lb’s a week it will take me about 4 months, but I know from experience that could be ambitious! I’ll apologise now if I’m banging on about dieting a bit too much, I’m all in at the moment 😅
I spent £50 yesterday ordering the cats biscuits (they only like one type and flavour and I could only find them on z*plus this month) and some dog treats, but I also managed to cash back £20 from top cash back so that will reduce the hit on my account 😁 How many months until payday?
I hope you all have a lovely day filled with happiness and all the good things you deserve ☕️⭐️🪄

If you aim for 1lb a week that would be easier to achieve and some weeks you might lose more. There are still 250 days left in January 🤣

Morning ww, thanks for saying about checking BMI pleased to say mine has gone down a tiny tiny bit but at least its down.  You are doing really well counting calories I haven't the patience, its the excercise that I need to do, living in the sticks everywhere is so muddy - well thats the excuse for today!  2lb a week loss would be wonderful but from past experience its more likely to be 1/2 - 1lb still at this point anything is acceptable!  Have a good day, will be cheering you on x

You both talk great sense and 1lb or even half is still going in the right direction. It’s hard to be patient though. I do need to do more exercise, but it’s extremely hard to fit it in. I’m at my desk 8 until 4.30 or 5, then I cook tea, then it’s the evening jobs (mucking out litter trays, etc.) a bit of tv and before you know it it’s bed time 😬 Everything is easier when the nights are lighter, but I do like the cosy dark winter nights too. 

I guess I need to have a routine of a walk before making tea, but that would put back bedtime and I love nothing more than ligging in bed with coffee, the tv and my book 🤣

I’m finding getting exercise in too and I haven’t even got an excuse. I’m not working, have gym membership and some nice walks nearby. I just haven’t got the motivation atm. I will get there though 👍 I used to have a skipping rope and skipped through a tv advert - eventually I could skip the whole commercial break. Don’t think I could skip 10 skips now though…..all that activity was years ago.
