Thread: Mrs-s back to CC again!

Well iv had enough of ww, I started it after Christmas did well and then stuck to it properly and put weight on *confused*
So had a week or so off it and iv put weight on again.

Highest weight was 219lbs and and I'm back to 187lbs now. Iv been stuck between 12.12 and 13.5 for month and month now and I just need to get on with it!!

To maintain my weight I apparently need 2080 calories a day,
To lose 1lb a week I need 1580 a day. I don't want to be too strict on myself or I won't stick to it, so I'm going to try and keep between 1200-1700 a day,
I won't be weighing myself until 1st march either, I think part of my problem is constant scale hopping and getting disheartened.

Welcome back Becki, I'm sure your do well with Calorie counting you did fab after having Teddy x

Hello there *waves*

I know your frustration at being stuck between two weights for ages. That was 13st and 13st 7 for me for a good while. I hope CC gets you the results you are hoping for . I am also a god awful scale hopper!! I am debating giving my scales to my dad and telling him to only let me have them once a week!!

Hi! Mine are really old and they tell me slightly different weights if I get on a few times in a row so I'm thinking of chucking them, and getting a new pair in a few weeks! Then I'll be used to not weighing and hopefully see a difference! X

Hi! It's just getting that motivation again!!i went on scales this morning and weigh even more! I'm in middle of totm though and I have pcos so not had one since November, hoping that's a factor!

Well today is the start of a new week and im going to try and get back in the game this week! Every time I get on the scales I weigh abit more and I can't have all my hard work going to waste!!

So today's diary so far is looking like this...

B - 50cal
Cup of tea

L - 408cal
2 slices toast with lurpak and dairylea

S - 100cal
2 cups of tea

D - 529cal
Cheese and tomato pasta bake

Total - 1087cal

Will have snacks etc though so will go up more than that, car broke and can't get out so not got much in got to work with what iv got at the moment!

I'm sure totm is a big factor, I need to get motivation back too, just had a rubbish few weeks. Maybe weighing in monthly will help to keep you on track x

TOTM definitely plays havoc with my weight (always bloated/retain water etc) so wouldn't be too hard on yourself. Main thing is to keep focused and on the right track. You can do this!!
