    back again...!

    Well it's been a little while since I was last here. I took over a month off and went back to all the sweets and carbs. Finally got a hold of myself, scales this morning said 221lbs, when I started this diet in april I was about 234lbs so at least I haven't gone back completely. already feel...

    aw thanks love. Scales said 216 this morning! How can I lose 3lbs in 2 days? Must have been fluid don't you think? If I could just hit that big marker of 210 I'd be so motivated I think. How are you doing? xx

    Minufour, yeah. I don't really want to meet him when I'm carrying all this flab!! It wouldn't be until about christmas though even if it did happen, he's producing and doing the voiceover for the film I'm doing some work for now so he'd be at the production meetings a little further down the...

    Managed to stay on track and drank a lot, scales today say 217. Maybe I was holding a lot of water or something? I'm definitely right back on track now! Next goal is to hit 210, thanks for the support lovelies!

    aw thanks, I'm so annoyed with myself for falling off the wagon! Today so far: b: cereal and soy milk L: spicy veg soup and 2 slices of bread snacks: a banana, and a fruit and oat bar. Why can't I just do this all the time?!

    my cc diary!

    Right. Gave myself a bit of a mental shake last night and finally ventured onto the scales today. 219lbs. So angry with myself to have put on FOUR pounds. I'm back on the wagon, 1200 a day, lots of water and exercise. So angry!

    I think you're totally right, that's what I'm going to, my new clothes still fit (for now!) so I'm going to try and maintain my new weight until I've got a routine again!

    my cc diary!

    It might be yeah, I've started not eating anything after 7pm too, I think I might be snacking a little too much. I keep guessing my cals but I've been aiming for between 1400-1500, it might make my loss a little slower but I was finding no change at all on 1200 and thought upping it might kick...

    Sarah's Lose Weight and Get Fit Diary!

    What a bargain! I think my latest dress is a size 14 but I can't quite believe it because I've only lost 17lbs altogether what with losing and gaining and I was a size 20 before. How can I go from a 20 to 14 in just 17lbs? I haven't tried any jeans yet though...that'll be the real test!
  13. Naomigi

    Sarah's Lose Weight and Get Fit Diary!

    Did that feel amazing to buy the size 14? Sometimes I think you need the little days of badness to keep on track, and look at how much you've lost in 5 months, works out as more than half a stone every month!! You're doing amazing :)
  14. Naomigi

    Sarah's Lose Weight and Get Fit Diary!

    You must feel so amazing! I feel like I was in the 16s for so long that if I hit the 14s it'd blow my mind. Can you imagine being in the 12s, or the 11s?! I know you're going to get there!!!

    Thanks you too! Had a nice little surprise today, went into River Island and there was a skirt with an elaasticated waist in a size 12, thought I'd try it on and it looked fine!

    my cc diary!

    yeah my scales at home are digital too but they're the kind that also show fat levels and stuff so I think they're a bit better. These are digital ones that cost $20 and if I step on them three times in a row they always vary by about a pound. I'm forcing myself to only weigh in once a week now...

    I totally understand, I felt like that too the other day but then I thought, imagine suddenly gaining back my 21 pounds, I'd be devestated, and then I was really proud and happy I'd lost that much.

    Oh I do that all the time!! When I lost a stone I made a pile of things that weighed 14lbs and picked it up to feel how heavy, can't believe I was lugging it all around! At least I'm still losing eh? Just so jealous of you at 186, I can't imagine being under 200!

    getting a tiny bit frustrated, and it's stupid because the loss has been quite consistent, but it looks like I might have only lost 1 lb this week, and I wanted to lose at least 3! Decided to up my calories to 1450 for today and tomorrow to see if that helps

    Eeyore CC Diary - Using Ki Fit

    try to only weigh yourself at the right time. I am addicted to doing it daily but only do it first thing in the morning after I've been to the bathroom, before breakfast. I started at 230 like you and I'm down to 215 too so we're in the same position! Can't wait to lose another 15!

    America has the most amazing choice of snack bars!! I'm pigging out on them a little too much maybe... today looks like b: special k cinnamon and pecan, soy milk snack: cinnabon bar (SO YUMMY and only 150!) l: sweet potato, hummus and grilleed aspargus and a 25cal ice lolly snack: oaty chocolate...

    my cc diary!

    Today's the official weigh in and through the week the scales said I'd lost 15lbs total but today it was only 14lbs. I think it's because I let myself have 1800 a day over the weekend to celebrate losing a stone but it was probably a mistake!
  115. Naomigi

    my cc diary!

    Thanks so much lovelies! NovaX I couldn't believe it fit! I've gone a tiny bit nuts today, had about 1900 cals, I felt like I deserved it after sticking to this diet for so long but weigh in is tomorrow, really hope I haven't lost my stone loss!

    1350 seems to be the level I can consistently manage, I found if I go for 1500 I'm eating just to hit to target which seems a bit pointless. I wish weight loss was quicker!

    Thanks lovely! I've been craving cake BIGTIME today, I don't know why, so I scoured the cookbooks in the bookshop and found this lo-cal recipe for 'light pecan pie'. They're only tiny, but 127cal each! So I had one and feel much better with no guilt, AND still on track to hit 1350 today!

    Low GI

    Hi guys, I've got PCOS and have struggled with my weight my whole life! I've decided to finally stop moaning about it and make a difference so started the Low GI diet today. Just registering really hoping that if I tell you all I'll have to stick to it! Thanks!
