Having a fab time on holiday, still staying on plan but have allowed a few more calories but still much less than I would have if I wasn't on plan. I have even brought my kitchen scales with me to weigh things accurately Iv found it easy to stay on plan by doing all my own meals and not eating out like I would usually do on holidays!!

I hope you are all having a great wknd too and doing well on your plan xxx

I started dong the 5:2 the weightloss was steady then last week Sunday I went back to Cambridge lost a few pounds that I gained suppose it was water weight as you know, and now Im fed up as the scales haven't moved. So I'm back CCing / 5:2 I just need to keep clear of vLCd now as I'm dabbling with it and not getting anywhere fast!!!
I am going to stick with it now.

Hope your feeling better and good luck with Monday's weigh in. X

I can really relate to that. I think we all do it at some point, get stuck in a diet rut of hopping from one to another and back. I know I have done it so many times, and like you say, getting no where fast!! So I drew a line under it all, re focussed and now I'm sticking with CCing until the end!! It's never going to be easy but I find it easier to follow and stick to than any other plan. You will do it hunnie xx

Day 8

Hi,

Aw thank you everyone!! Following plan whilst on holiday was easier than I expected as I did allow myself more calories and was more active so at the very worst I would maintain but I had weigh in this morning and I am pleased to say I lost 1lb I would of liked 2-4lb but considering I was on holiday and TOTM is very imminent (first one since my ruptured ectopic :\ ), then its not bad at all. Any other holiday I would of been looking at a 5+ lb gain and TOTM usually see's me have a temporary gain of 4+ lb, so I am very pleased indeed

I have been shopping today so I am all set for a fabulous 2nd week and I am going to start it off like this ........

Breakfast - 200ml skimmed milk and 50g oats (255)
Snack - Banana (100)
Lunch - Chicken and Mushroom soup (256)
Snack - Apple (80) 10 Minstrel sweets (125)
Dinner - Cod fillets (132) with 100g frozen mixed vegetables (60) and 150g new boiled potatoes (123)
Snack - Low fat yogurt (100)
Evening - Highlights hot chocolate (40) and a caramel wafer (87)

Tatal calories in today = 1258

Drinks - 2 x tea, 2 x coffee, 1.5L water

Exercise - 1hr walk

Total steps today = 9094

I hope you are all having a great start to the week. I will now go and have a proper catch up on here to see what everyone has been up to xxxx
