Thanks chick look forward to hearing all your food and probably stealing some ideas from you! Usually quite boring and stuck to easy things like pasta n sauce or just eating packs of chicken but I do want to experiment! There's a gorgeous mushy pea curry which is delish!

Your food does look good Lilly. I think I will follow some of your green days in particular your stew/soup on the 4th.

I don`t know how I missed visiting your diary. It is so different.

Good luck for weigh in Friday. Me too tho not feeling very confident.

You seem to be doing so well hun! I've finally decided to face my weight problem after being obese since I was in my early teens. At the moment, I'm finding it easy to stick to the extra easy days and as I'm not actually attending a group as of yet because of the lack of time, I'm finding the books helpful! I had a 5 lb weight loss this week, something that although I'm happy with, I thought would be a bit more as I've been so good and do have a lot of weight to lose. I guess everyone loses weight differently! I'm determined to stick to this one!! I hope you're well! xx

Hiya, thank you! Well done on starting, its always the hardest bit! And you sound just like me, I always expect a bit more when i lose haha, but as long as its coming off, I've realised thats the best thing and not the other way x I dont go to group either, I just dont have the time, but i'm enjoying doing it at home just the same, maybe even more, a bit less pressure. When i went to group last time, towards the end i just hated going so I like that if i slip up, there is no judgement on me at home lol. Good luck! Hope there is many more losses to come xx

Thank you, and to you too! If you don't mind me asking, what are you hoping to lose altogether? And are you doing green/red/easy or a mix of all? Just need to know how to get started and stay on track! x

 

[Lillyxx]

Thank you, and to you too! If you don't mind me asking, what are you hoping to lose altogether? And are you doing green/red/easy or a mix of all? Just need to know how to get started and stay on track! x

To be honest If i was to think about it, I probably have about 7 stone to lose in all to be perfect and healthy, but i try not to think of it that way. I haven't set a target or anything like that, I've set some mini ones for across the year, but I just want to keep going and feel as little pressure as possible. I think if i said to myself I want to get down to such and such weight, it would put me off because it would seem so daunting, so I'm just doing little targets every few months to break it down a bit. Plus I am never going to be totally perfect, so just want to keep going the best i can

I also have an old skirt from when i met my boyfriend 11 years ago, that I would just be thrilled to fit back in to, so using that as a little incentive too, and its my 30th birthday in January so that's a bit incentive as well. Setting little targets and having things to push me through is definitely how I'm managing to cope at the minute xx I always do green days really, i eat very little meat so its what works best for me, or if i do eat meat i do an extra easy but it is quite rare, or because if i do a green day, you get two healthy extra B's, i would use the meat as one of those.

I bet you will do great! Maybe try and set little targets too? Things to keep you motivated, little days out and things to look forward to and move towards as well? xx

​The little targets are something I hadn't really thought about to be honest, but they might make my eventual target seem less daunting, so thank you for the suggestion! I'm just a bit worried that my weight loss will dry up with the eating of so many carbs (especially pasta!) but I guess SW works, so I'll just keep at it and if my weight loss does start to dwindle, I'll try a red or green day! I eat a lot of meat and pasta so the EE day seems best to suit my diet.. We shall see! Xx

I went through a stage of calorie counting and thought the exact same, got scared of carbs, but just go with everything this diet tells you hun and you will be fine, try not to worry too much. Good luck! Let me know how you do this week, good luck for the half a stone xx
