AlicePalice's food diary

[AlicePalice]

Quite disappointed with a 0.5lb loss to be honest. I don't really know why - but Im guessing, from reading other posts here, that its just one of those things. This week I will try not to hold back with my syns so much - if it doesn't make a difference then there's no point! At least its going off in the right direction.... and I know... slow and steady..... but still, I thought maybe 1.5lbs at least! Just need to stay focused this week, 2lbs target to get my 1/2 stone award

Where Ive been so busy I havent really had the time to do proper veg - Im thinking this steamfresh bag isnt really enough - s.corn isnt superfree is it - so really its only the carrots and broccoli that count, I know its not enough.

Chin up chicken, get some melon down ya! Superfree, superyummy 0.5lb loss is better than 0lb loss, remember that.

you are doing fab , 5lbs loss is great and don't feel down about 0.5lb off. It is still weight off that is the main thing, each time you feel down about 0.5lb, go and weigh something out that is 1/2 pound and then you will realise just how good a loss it actually is.

 

[AlicePalice]

Thank you guys, you're both right. And I would have been SO annoyed if I'd have put 0.5lbs on wouldn't I?! xxxxxx

I have bought 2 melons but they're not ripe yet - grrrr!

Woo slight bonus, just realised I'd calculated my stones-->pounds wrongly, so I'd added an extra 2lbs to be lost on, which shouldn't be there! Could work out why I had more than 14lbs to lose when it was only a stone (idiot!)

Brilliant loss this week!!! Clothes well deserved

 

[10st10lbs]

I'm so chuffed for you! Especially after you felt like you were having a terrible week! Aww, something must have really paid off! Maybe we lose weight by worrying

Share share share, what did you splurge on? I'm refusing to add anything to my wardrobe for a while yet (mostly because I can't afford anything ) so I have to live vicariously through other people

[AlicePalice]
