I'm the same - all or nothing. Mon- friday is nothing. Literally. Saturday I'm look. ooh, I don't really fancy a biscuit but I'm going to have one. Then BOOM!!! 1500 calories of sugar later. Absolutely DETERMINED to break that habit this year.
Felt so fat in the gym a minute ago. Can't wait to get back to where I was before france.

I don't think I realised how much sugar I ate until starting this diary. It could just be because it's Christmas and we have heaps of it in the house, but I don't think so.
On the tube going into work and reading an interview with Davina McCall saying that she's cut out all processed sugar but still has things like agave and honey. Think I'm going to try that in the NY, all but one cheat day a week- probably my drinking day.
That, 5:2 and generally eating healthily and lots of running. That's got to work right?!

It's not big!! But I'm so grateful I had before pics because you can physically see the changes!!
So yesterday didn't go exactly as planned. My resolve to be good at the 40th lasted about all of 5 minutes after which I drank 5 large white wine spritzers, 4 glasses of Prosseco and 2 half pints of beer. Needless to say I felt a little sick in the cab home. Classy!
It did mean that I was too drunk to have dinner and the scales are now telling me I've lost 3lbs since Thursday. Sadly I know that's not real and I'm sure it'll all go on overnight.
Today's food so far:
B- 1 toast and marmite
- Smoothie (homemade w banana, almond milk, little peanut butter and frozen fruit)
L- 1 toast with avocado, harrissa and 2 poached eggs (c/o my lovely husband)
- small smoothie lolly (full of sugar but only 58cals)
Going to try at least one fast day next week, probably Tuesday and I'm going to double up my runs to work- 3.2 miles each way.
Saturday will be my cheat day. Not that I really deserve one after yesterday!

Hiya hope Ya don't mind me writing on your diary, I'm 10.10 at the moment and would love to go back to 8.7 too, have you got a goal date? X
Not at all! Oddly I hadn't even thought of a target date but now you mention it Id like to be at 8.10 by the time I do the marathon on 12 April.
How about you? And what's your diet plan?

Would love to be 9.7 by March as ive got a weekend away planned, but defo want to be 8.7/8 by June, gonna be hard but I want it so bad I went to 8 stone twice last time being last year and it was amazing, I did it by slimming world/red days, now I'm on 5:2

9.7 by March sounds really doable. How are you getting on?
I've been a bit quiet on here as I try to work out what's right for me. Turns out it is 5:2. I was over the 500cals on both days but it's meant I've lost 3lbs this week. So down to 10st 1.4 which isn't a huge loss in the 2 weeks since NY but still. If I can lose another 3 in the next week or so to get into the 9s I'll be happy.
I think my 5:2 days food I'll keep the same:
B- porridge with skim milk
L- upbeat drink
S- Apple or carrot
D- half small avo, 2 scrambled eggs, lettuce
Probably takes me over the 500 but I'll be exercising.
Hope everyone else is getting on well.
