From 14 stone to 13 stone

[sarahsnap]

I've been awol for a bit-had a slight gain last week and been rubbish right up until going to bed last night but woke up with new focus and determination. My sneaky peek on the scales showed a 3lb gain this morning *gulp* hoping to get a bit of that off by wednesday xx

It's so hard sometimes, well done you for getting your focus back. Wish I could but think it's hiding away from at the moment.

It's taken me about a month if I'm honest-if I can get past 2 days been 100% then my body stops craving rubbish food.
I'm signing up to do a spartan race (www.spartanrace.com) so need to get the weight off to improve my performance xx

Oh well 4lbs on last night and no clue why. Did another red week. It's so frustrating. Handed in my food diary cos neither I nor my friends can see anything wrong with it. That was my 4th red week in a row. Going to try either a green week or mix it up a bit with different days. Any suggestions would be gratefully received

Could you post your food diary on here? xx

I don't have it now. It was written down + I gave it to my consultant. Generally have 2 boiled eggs and a bit of fruit for breakfast. I only have free food at mealtimes and don't snack on free food e.g. chicken salad, lean meat + veg or stir fry (I'm a really plain eater so don't add sauces etc) then I snack on fruit all day. Maybe I eat too much fruit but god how much would I need to eat to put on 4lbs. Some days I don't have any syns but usually have between 4 and 10.

Fruit is a variation of melon, strawberries, plums, apples, pears satsumas and usually 1 banana a day. A choice usually skimmed milk for tea and either low low cheese or low low cheese spread. B choice is usually either a hifi bar, packet ryvita minis, a wholemeal roll (I buy aldi 4 pack and have even weighed them to make sure correct weight), 2 alpen lights or Finn crisp.

Are you having 2 A's and 2 B's, on red you have 2 of each. Personally if you have done red for 4 weeks I would mix it up, I gain with all red, only way I lose is doing a mix of red, green and EE, and making sure I don't eat the same all the time, same breakfasts also make me gain. I have to spend an hour each week to plan just my breakfasts so I don't have the same everyday.

Different people find different things work for them. I'd give it a couple of weeks on green, as you will be having more carbs than you would on red, so you might not lose much this week while your body adjusts

Absolutely dreading wi tomorrow but need to go to sort my head out and give me a kick up the backside
