Do you know what, sometimes we just can't work out what's going on with our weight sometimes. Last week when I lost 2.5 lbs I had done nothing different to the weeks when I had only lost 1lb! There's no rhyme or reason to it. I bet that 3lbs has gone the next time you get on the scales, thats the danger of weighing ourselves between Weigh Ins this is the first time I have done that while on the plan. Before starting again I weighed myself every morning but no more you get to deflated and likely to go off the rails if the scales go the wrong way. Just keep on going you CAN do this and think how much better you will feel by Christmas :)
 
I agree with AdsNan hun - stay away from the scales as they do make us wonder what's going on and can cause us (well me anyway) to have a bad week when we think we've put weight on.
I know that if I get on the scales and think i've put on weight I can just 'give up' on the week and forget about staying on plan.

So step away from the scales and hide them somewhere you can't find them :)
 
Thanks Rosie, Adsnan - my scales will stay in the shed now wher the spiders are, lol..x

Morning T, I'm fine thanks, funnily enough, just posted on your thread too, lol.. Good timing and all that jazz. Its nice weather here too and hoping it'll stay like this for the weekend too. Have you anything planned for your weekend? x

OH and the boys will be couch potatoes on Sunday as it is the Grand Prix followed by the footie - so it could be the garden for me... well lying in it, not actually gardening...

Nothing planned for Saturday yet but I am sure that the boys will have me running ragged !
 
Hey nikki

I hope you had a great weekend and that you're happy with everything. How are your red days going? Hope they are all going well and you get the weight loss you deserve this week hun.
 
Thanks Rosie and Tracy

Great weekend, and good choices made SW wise.. so hoping to get at least 1lb loss at tomorrow's WI, but we shall see, as the wine was flowing last night, but was good with the food.. so you never know..

Rosie, I've been following mainly red days this week, apart from EE yesterday and on Wednesday. I find that Red is fine in the week, but need that option to do EE at the weekends to mix it up if needed.

Tracy, SW going ok, still a little worried about the slow losses, but hanging on in there and will do til mid July and if I am still loosing only 1-2lb a week, I'll have to resort to Cambridge for 2 week's, then jump onto SW the week before I go away, as its now only 6 weeks til D day, lol.

Making the most of the garden today, as looks like I'll be back at work middle of next week, with reduced hours, til all clear at the hospital the following week (fingers crossed)

Anyway.. food for today Red Day 5 syns:

Breakfast - Fruit - pineapple, apple, melon and stawberries and a banana
Snack - Alpen Light Bar (half HEB)
Lunch - Huge free salad (all sf), with Chicken satay and mini burgers made yesterday (all free) with yogurt and mint sauce dressing (free) and a Tesco H/E wholemeal roll (HEB)
Snack - Apple and Pear
Iced Latte - 350 skimmed milk, coffee, iced and sweetner
Dinner - Tesco Frozen Pork Shank in Mustard and honey sauce (1.5 syn) with greens and brocoli

Desert - M/Light Yogurt, alpen bar light (half HEB) and blackberries
Iced Latte - 350 skimmed milk, coffee, ice and sweetner
 
Hi Nikki

Glad you had a good weekend :D
Pinkies crossed you get the loss you deserve tomorrow :cross:-there will be no stopping you once your arm is back to 100% ;)
Have a great day,,,,
 
Good luck with your weigh in, hope you get a good show on the scales.

Q
 
Morning Nikki, try not to be disheartened with 1-2lbs a week. I know it seems slow in comparison to CD but you get to enjoy life in the meantime and you're prepping yourself up for a lifeplan. Besides we all know that 1-2lbs a week is healthy and you are more likely to keep it off for good. SW is the better choice, even if CD seems it now.

Save the shakes for when you really need a boost then do CD for a week, then get back to enjoying food.
 
Thanks Kez.. I know SW is the right plan for me, but as my holiday to Grenada is getting closer and closer, I'm itching to see my losses improve. So CD will be needed mid July unless my losses speed up to 2-3lb a week average anyway. Its my last resort, but wanna keep plugging on at SW and staying on track to get the results I need.

We just know that CD works wonders don't we? So will only fall back on that if needed. Thanks again hun xx
 
Hello! How have you found the red menu for the past few days? Good luck on the weigh in tomorrow morning! xx
