Year Two 01/09/2010-31/08/2011 Maintaining both GL and TFR lossesOnly major gain was over Xmas period. Gained 9lbs. Lost this by mid Feb through portion control and eating low GL foods.
Year Three 01/09/2011- 31/08/2012Had a 9lb gain again over the Xmas hols and lost this by March 2012.19/03/2012 Weight is 180. This is upper end of my 170-180 range so need to cut back a lttle.

Can't believe that's another weekend over! Why do they go so fast?
Did a lot of housework and cooking yesterday so not much rest at all this weekend. Went gym on Saturday which was OK. Didn't do anymore running, I'll wait until my chest feels 100% cos it's so hard anyway!
Made a beef casserole in the slow cooker, stuffed potatoes, homemade coleslaw and a chocolate sponge yesterday. Really into my cooking at the moment. Family love it too. My daughter popped up to see us yesterday and left with a complete meal for the evening, she was very happy.
Had a late lunch on saturday so didn't bother with any tea cos I really wasn't hungry. We went out on saturday night but I didn't have any nuts or crisps like I used to (not like hubby!). Didn't want them so didn't have them. Nice to have little control back.
Going to book a couple of long weekends off work for November to use up the last of my holiday before christmas, can't believe that's only just round the corner!

Well done avoiding the nibbles on your night out. How ya doing in general? Are you happy with your weight still, managing a few treats cos of badminton? xx

I am about 1/2 stone up on finishing LT but not surprised about that at all. Keeping my eye on it though. I'm really happy at the weight I am, at the moment. Feel very happy and content where I am. I am having some treats but purely because I can cos of all the exercise I'm doing at the mo but still having to watch it obviously and not pigging out like I used to. Don't want to have to LT ever again. This was my last time so I am being careful. Life in general is good and I feel happy about most things.
Losing weight doesn't cure all your worries but it certainly makes some things so much easier!

Went to bed at 9pm last night, really wanted a good night's sleep. Lately I've found I'm getting up at the normal time but still feeling really tired. Great sleep last night and felt really good this morning. May have to do that once a week from now on.
Going to the gym after work then home for a sit down. Just love that evening winding down time. Not sure what to have for tea yet, may do some pasta for a change. Had beef casserole last night and it was lovely, will definitely be doing that again.

That's what I need too!!! Time always runs away with me so much and it's midnight before I turn around ... not that I do much turning around sitting here watching tv & surfing away.
I'm not surprised you needed a good long sleep Bev after all that exercise!!xx

"Losing weight doesn't cure all your worries but it certainly makes some things so much easier! "
Never a truer word said Bev. I agree so much with that statement. It is great to feel in control of life foodwise if not in other aspects. You sound as if you are in a great head space right now. I hope that remains for a long long time for you.
I so agree about the sleep too. There is nothing better than a lovely long sleep!!

The plan was to watch the England footie last night but it was so dull I nearly fell asleep! I fought to keep my eyes open but went to bed instead. Feeling really tired lately and not sure why. Everyone at work seems to feel the same, perhaps it's to do with the weather or seomthing.
Night off tonight. Finish work, pick up hubby and then off home. Not doing anything tonight, no gym, no badminton or anything else to do. Looking forward to sitting down and doing nothing! I think we all need a few evenings like that.
