Good luck for wi!

Thanks! Only lost half a pound. I know why, I'd been using a lot of syns. I probably should have minimum syns to get bigger losses.

Its my birthday tomorrow, so I'll be eating all things naughty, so probably won't loose to much next tuesday either. Never mind, my next target is 8 stone 10 for May when we go on holiday.

Not eaten much today, had weigh in between breakfast and lunch, so its always a rush to get lunch before I have to go to work.

 

[Whitey27]

Well done - I put half a lb on so I'd rather be in your position!! Need to get my act together and be focused - just had too many social/work distractions but its no excuse really.

Anyway, have a fab day tomorrow and enjoy! xx

 

[charlotte1985]

I was like that after Christmas. It took me until I started the diary on here to pull myself together.

I put 6 lbs on over Christmas and went up to 9 stone 9. Luckily most of it was just bloat from rich food and drink, but it still took me a while to get back on track. I had good weeks and rubbish weeks.

I just really want to feel confident in a bikini on holiday - hence the exercise. I normally start trying to loose weight 6 months before my holidays, and before i know it, its like 6 weeks to go and I'm still gaining and loosing the same half a stone. So this year I wanted it to be different!

I also wanted to be 9 stone for Christmas, which I didnt achieve, so thats why I wanted to do it for my birthday instead.

MAN, I've pigged out today tho! Seriously, my stomach is aching!

***Actually, I'm really uncomfortable now! Must remember this feeling to put me off binge eating (until the next celebration)***

 

[Whitey27]

Yeah, I think 9 stone is a good weight for our height. My plan was to give myself plenty of time before hols to lose it rather than crash dieting so need to pull my finger out. You've done so well since Christmas. I think I might have to start a diary too

I find the exercise part the easy bit but then I am sure it just makes me more hungry!

Ha ha, yeah if only we could remember that stuffed feeling things would be a lot easier! At least it will mean youll be straight back on track. Hope you had a lovely day and were spoilt xx

Hey hey! Hope u had a fab birthday. I've been at the icing too unfortunately - made a cake for my friend and really pigged out? still kicking myself now!

Hope you're back on track now. Food for today and yesterday looks good. I'm hoping I can salvage things before wi on thurs.... Xxx

 

[Whitey27]

Am determined to be 100% today! Breakfast is raspberries and blueberries with ff yoghurt. I think lunch will be turkey breast with a homemade ragu and dinner will be speed soup. Not sure about my he's but am definitely keeping it low syn til thurs. will go for a run too this afternoon

 

[Whitey27]

Ha ha sorry I posted that on your diary instead of mine!! Xx

 

[charlotte1985]

I dont know whats wrong with me!

I was good all day yesterday and today! Jeez! Then last night, after I'd put the kids to bed, I bullied my husband into nipping down the shop and getting me a boost and a kitkat chunky! Then today, good all day again, then it was my dad's birthday, and my sister had made him a cake, and I had two thick slices!

I'm really cross with myself! I need some serious help to get back on track! I was doing so flipping well!

How long did it take you to get into running whitey? I'm rubbish at running ha - i do that typical sterotype girl run!

 

[Whitey27]

Ahh I know what u mean! That's my downfall - good all day and then ruin it. I'm sure you haven't done too much damage though. I really don't know what to suggest though as I'm really struggling....

I think running is great - just need to build it up slowly. You seem to do quite a lot of cardio too so I bet you won't find it too hard. Have u tried the couch to 5k app? It's meant to be really good.

When's your wi? xxx

 

[charlotte1985]

It was today, but I didn't go! I know thats naughty, but I need to get myself together. I've been really good today, I'll post my diary in a moment. Hopefully the binge is over and out of my system for now!

I weighed on my scales at home and they said 9 stone 5!!!!! Thats 4.5 lbs in a week (fully deserved)!

Its me all over, loose some, gain some, loose some, blah blah blah!

I did wonder if its down to anything, like theres some sort of trigger? I started this diary after an epic binge, which would have been around this time last month. Or it may just be because it was valentines day this time last month and then my birthday this month...anyway, hopefully I'm back on track!
