2014 weight loss challenge

[MelonCollie]

Thanks
Maybe have a super free only day to help the scales tomorrow? It's what I did because I was scared haha.
Hope the scales will be nice though. Good luck!

Well done that is great,the weight is dropping off you!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sts when I weigh in tomorrow, food has been a bit all over the show and the last four days have been far from ideal. think I need to go back to making juices (as well as food) as my energy just feels non existent atm and I'm exhausted all the time which just leads to more eating crap!

Join the yo-yo club - why do we do it???? I've been the same for last few days and the more rubbish I've eaten the more rubbish I've felt (funny coincidence eh?)

Hope u can turn things round soon - could u try to focus on one healthy meal/snack at a time? Good idea to get back to the juices.

Managed a good day yest and felt better as the day went on and I woke up feeling a bit more positive this morning - wish we knew what triggered the good/bad eating patterns.

I'm off on hols for a month 2moro - and REALLY don't want to have a massive gain to deal with when I get back!

If ur still exploring the 5:2 - wonder if u've read any of this 4:3 newbie's diary - she says it how it is - in a way lots of can empathise with:

Well over the weekend I was socialising so at least there was an excuse,but Monday and Tuesday both started out as attempted fast days which failed miserably lol.i will have a look at the diary,I'm trying to do at least 2 days a week of fasting,ideally I'd prefer 3 or 4 but it doesn't always work out lol.going to try and fast today and Friday and then eat lightish tomorrow and then il be out at the weekend,but hopefully to all balances out!

Bet you are looking forward to your holidays now!

I'm on a fast day today so hopefully it will do a bit of damage control lol

I also relooked at my target and changed it to 3rd feb next year which is the day before oh's bday and I would need to lose 1.1 lb a week to reach that which is way better than the 2.7 I would need to reach my current goal date lol

 

[CatA]

Allo,

Last day of freedom and I have done nothing but nibble on rubbish. Must be the first day nerves kicking in. Had the agency ring earlier, first thought was uh-oh no job now?...but nope was just to check I was all set for tomorrow. Apparently the boss I interviewed with keeps telling them how excited she is that she finally nabbed me. Hope I live up to the excitement now! lol

Hope ur fast day went to plan? Good idea to adjust ur target date - sometimes we can rebel when we put ourselves under pressure can't we?

I'm going to try to do the 5:2 diet whilst I'm on hols from 2moro - not sure how that will go but can't face having a big gain and having to lose the same weight again!! I'll try to pop in here whilst I'm away but not sure how reliable wifi will be in the rural areas we're going to!!

Hope u can stick to ur fast days - when do u start ur new job?

 

[Autumn500]

My fast day went well but i woke up to a gain of 2.25 lbs.think that's a combination of eating a bit too much on up days and then I started Pilates again and am v sore from that so there's probably a certain amount of water retention there.gonna abandon the scales again cos I felt good this morning til I got on them lol.

Good luck trying 5:2 while away,even if u don't follow it 100percent,any effort will be great!

Haven't been given a date for the new job yet,im guessing September,but who knows!

Quick update lost 1.5 this week making my total 33.5 lbs so far would like to get 1 more off before hols then I'm at lowest end of target and got 6lbs to play with Hope everyone's having a good week and summer holidays . Could someone update me on the list please ? Thank you xx

 

[Autumn500]

Just came into work to an email saying that due to budget constraints they are only offering four positions rather than 7 and I wasn't one of the four.so three weeks after telling me I was successful and one week after publishing the list,they've all of a sudden decided there's budget problems.ive been placed on a list until July 2016 but to be honest that doesn't mean much in the civil service.gutted.all I can say is that I'm glad today is a non fast day lol
