Only 2 more days till your weigh in you can do it - weekends are tough aren't they. If you feel yourself crumbling, just get outside and walk it off

(best start taking my own advice too )

It must be hard with 3, I've got one and having his food around all weekend was really tough - at one point I snapped at him to hurry up and eat his sandwich - then felt guilty because really it was just because I wanted it! It's not his fault so I've promised myself I won't do that again.

I've been out today and bought some fresh food for him, I'm going to cook his favourite dinner tonight and I'm going to do him some lovely mashed potato - it's one of my favourite things and I've avoided cooking it so far, so it's a hard one but I need to get used to it.

You're right WE CAN DO THIS, WE WILL DO THIS

WELL DONE YOU ON YOUR FANTASTIC WEEK 2 WEIGHT LOSS
HERES TO WEEK 3

Kath

Yippee! thanks so much, I'm really pleased with myself

I set myself a goal last week to walk every day and I did it (apart from Friday because I had to look after my sister in law) but I'm really pleased I did it.

I must admit I really enjoyed the session last night, we are working on week 3 on something called PAC and it was really interesting and made something click in my head. I had my doubts about this counselling part of the lighter life but it's proving to be very worthwile.

Good luck for tonight!

Well I'm glad yesterday is over with, what a strange day - I was all niggly and wanted food all day - really strange, hubby came home more or less the same as me!

Still didn't give in that's the main thing, I'm not going to let food win!

I've just spoken to hubby and he's really impressed me, he works on a building site and today the gaffer bought them all a bacon sandwich! Bacon is his number 1 favourite food!

He didn't eat it, he gave it away! I couldn't believe it! I'm so impressed

I find Wednesday to Friday drag a bit for me on this diet, that's when I struggle. By Saturday I know I've only got a couple of days till my weigh in so that spurs me on.

I'm going to go for a walk with the monkey in a bit, we've got to get a bit of shopping so thought we could walk to the supermarket - at least that way I can't buy much as I'll have to carry it

Hi Kath

Just read through your diary and you are doing brilliantly - both you and your husband - you have had a stunning weight loss already!

Funny you say Wed- Friday is hard for you, I am actually the other way round, I'm highly motivated following my LL meetings then I get fed up Saturday and Sunday despite knowing I have my WI on Mondays (although that has now changed to Thursdays as I am now in development).

Just think of your weekend as only two days, two days to climb over the wall and get to the other side - you know you can do it.

My monkey is off school next week for half term, today he's off for teacher training. He's just having his lunch now and has been asking me for this and that all day! Think next week I'm going to have to make sure we are out of the house as much as possible to keep me out of mischief

Why does bread smell so fantastic! Lol,

Wow, your weight loss is fab too!

You know thinking on, Wednesday was actually a really good day for me, I was buzzing! Maybe that's why yesterday was so hard, maybe it's a bit of a come down. Today is tricky but nothing like yesterday. So maybe my bad days are Thursday and Friday. However, they are just that - bad days, I'm NOT going to lapse, I'll just pull through them every week.

So you're in development! You completed 100 days, that is so fantastic, you must feel a real acheivement. I think Saturday and Sundays must be most people's tough days, I mean weekends are usually when people let go a bit aren't they.

Hi Kath,

Congratulations on doing so well!!!

20lbs. is fantastic weight loss!!!

I find walking is excellent and good for you for doing it. Walking works on many levels, it is the best form of exercise for getting rid of belly fat and secondly a 20 minute brisk walk a day keeps the digestion moving along nicely and helps avoids constipation.

It helps with circulation and improving your fitness level and you feel good all over after it and it is also know to lift mild depression.

My husband has been a big support to me on my weight loss journey and he has lost over a stone and half and is maintain now, he stuck with WW points and now does GI.

As a family we have changed our whole outlook on food, what we buy and how we cook it and portion size and I think this is important for it is so easy to revert to old habits and end back at the start after having lost all your weight and I really don't want this to happen.

I find Saturdays the hardest to get through.

I hope you all have a good weekend.

Love Mini xxx

Thanks Mini

I agree with you on the walking (didn't know it helped get rid of belly fat though, boy do I need that!) I've been walking to school every day this week and it has made me feel so much better, I have to go uphill part way and the first time I had to stop half way, now I've really picked up my speed and although breathless I'm finding it a lot easier. I've also been carrying my son's scooter to school so he can scooter home, it's a bit heavy so as I've been walking I've been doing slight arm lifts on each side to help tone my arms - I must look like a nutter lol. I shall miss it next week so will have to make sure I get some walking in every day.

That's fab about your husband, it really really helps doesn't - I know it could be so easy to slip into old habits and I don't want that to happen. I'm not going to let it happen.

Have a fab weekend too
