Hiya
Its great to have you back!!
Sorry to hear about your gain, hopefully you'll be able to lose it and more. You can definately do it caus you've had good losses in the past. Good luck, keep us posted on how you get on.
I've been ok during weekdays but the weekends are a nightmare, i've been eating loads at weekends. So i've been maintaining which is ok I suppose at least its not gaining. Gonna try and be good this week though need to get my body decent for my holiday!

THANKS LITTLEMISS
well, been really good today again,and went to the gym yesterday and am back in again tomorrow! back on track n feeling good!!!
food today -
breakfast - shredded wheat bitesize w/skimmed milk
snack - 1/2 kiddies choc lolly (not big)
lunch - 1/2 ready meal mac cheese
snack - 30g goats cheese
dinner - roast chicken w/herb crust and mcains rustic chips
all good
my cunning plot is to have "bad" things like mac cheese when i want them, but have half a ready meal instead of a full one, cos it was still under 15g fat so didnt break THAT xenical rule. tbh i dnt understand the 5% rule , i tend to go on the 15g rule and it still keeps me tango free!!!
well, plan for tomoro is -
bfast - shredded wheat and skimmed milk and nutrigrain bar
snack - low fat toffee yogurt
lunch - m and s sweet and sour chicken and rice ready meal and veg balls (all surprisingly low fat and highly delicious! great replacement for take away!)
dinner - left over roast chicken, stuffing, 3 roast potatoes and sweet potato and red onion wedges
good times ahead!! xxx

Hiya
Your doing so well. Its great that you've managed to pick up where you left off. And losing 7lbs is excellent, it just shows you, it doesn't matter how off track you go, there's always a way out!
Your right, you are better to sneak in these wee bits and pieces that you like to eat, I am able to do that with some things like cheese and crisps ect, but I can't allow myself chocolate coz thats one thing I cant just have one of.
I've not been brilliant, but not been really bad either, i'm gonna try my best to get back with exercise ect on Monday. I love that buzz you get the first few days of dieting, its jst getting the motivation to start!!
Anyway, good luck!!

yeah, yesterday i had a sliip up but think it was a controllled one. we were running late so had to get lunch on the go and burger king was closest. i had a chicken bites kids meal, so i think it could have been alot worse. to even things out a bit i had a light dinner of pitta bread, tomatoes and a little goats cheese and 3 oriental veg ball thingies. also got a good workout -
50 cals on treadmill
300 cals on x trainer
50 cals on bike
45 x reps vertical lift
45 x reps leg press
30 x reps chest incline.
plan for today -
breakfast - nutrigrain, shredded wheat bitesize w/ semi skimmed milk
snack - cup of tea w/ semi milk
lunch - scrambled egg sandwich on wholemeal bread w/ 2 veggi sausages (grilled)
dinner - stuffed chicken breasts w/roast potatoes, carrots, sweet potato and red onions.
snack - packet crisps under 100 cals (ie wotsits,quavers etc)
ive been a bit bad and not working out my fat grams the last few days, but ive been tango free so im guessing from that that im sticking roughly to what i should be having, its easier for me to stick to if im able to just eat what i want and if its something bad ill try n limit the portion to small. see how i go on this attitude, im sure my view will be different in 2 weeks or whatever when the nnovelty wears off and i buy a pretty notebook to be 10000% disciplined for a spell lol! i flip flop, alot!
hope yr all well and getting smaller!!
my aim is 4 lbs this week - then id be back into the 14's, i hate being in the 15's!!!

Hellooo
Your doing great!!
I have to admit i'm a tiny bit jealous that your managing to eat all those yummy foods and still lose weight. Its excellent when the weight drops off because it keeps you motivated. I miss all those 5/6/7 lb losses...now i'm lucky if I lose 1lb every fortnight and thats with being 100% and exercise each day. Thats why its so hard for me to be motivated, but i'm trying to think to myself that my body will be healthier from eating better and exercising, rather than getting hung up from not losing anything.
I've been good today so far, only had 2 weetabix and one slice of toast, that will do me for b.fast and lunch and i'm planning to make home made soup for dinner, but a friends in hospital so i think we'll be visiting him tonight, so i'll see how I get on with the soup.
Good luck!!

Its really strange coz your weight now is around about my weight when I first started, it wasn't hard to lose motivation coz the weight loss was consistent.
When I was a size 22 I would have cut my arm off to be a 12, if you look back at my posts from when i joined, you'll prob see me saying that. Now that its here, its not as good as you'd expect, what I expected. My body is still flabby, its not as big, but its still flabby, I thought when I got to a size 12 i'd be able to wear wee vest tops and even long shorts or something, but i cant, i'm still too big, i'm stuck in limbo land. I'm small in height and my bones are tiny, so it looks alot worse. I suppose i'm more confident day to day coz my day to day work clothes are black, and plain so yeah my body looks slimmer but I am not confident wearing bright colours and tight things.
I am feeling really down with myself because I cant stick to my diet the way i used to when I was losing alot, I think it may be i'm not getting losses every week. When I was 15stone I stuck 100% to diet for 8 months and not one bit of chocolate or crisps passed my lips, i was sooo determined to be smaller but once i got to a normal weight i decided i needed a break and didn't go back..i've not managed to stay on diet for any more than 2 weeks for a year now, infact i've put on an extra stone, so its not too good
Anyway, sorry for bombarding you with all my probs, really do wanna try hard soon, just need something else to motivate me apart from the scales.
P.S I think its great that you can still eat those things and lose weight, it motivates me to see that happening. When i first started out i'd allow myself the odd happy meal but that was all - or something small that i like..it never effected my losses
Good luck
