Thanks for letting me know will sure look out for it next time I’m at the shops

Don’t worry about the little bump in the road it’s going to be okay. It might well be that time of the month coming up so you can give yourself a little slack from getting the craving.

Again you are doing really well and will continue too

Weigh day and down by 3.2lbs this week (as you rightly said!) I'm also 0.1lb away from being overweight and NO LONGER OBESE!!! The scales were a tad temperamental this morning and one weigh was 195 but I settled on a higher one because that would be too much to lose! I just hope that it's not all undone next week and chalked up to a scale error. We shall see!

I know what you mean about somethings not worth the calories. I have wasted my calories on things like that before.
Have a good evening.

Thanks @Ravenous! You too

So I've reached my fist big goal and I am back down to the lightest I've ever been. From here, it's all new territory and I'm excited. Had a couple of days of being more relaxed but my head is in the game. I'm ready to smash the last 50 odd lbs lol! Like it's going to just happen. I'll get out of the shower one day soon and there will be a lump of fat in the corner that decided to leave If only!

At this point, I think 18 weeks in, I've realised a few things (some may sound obvious but it's different when you actually believe)
-Showing up is enough
-Weighing is important (especially when I'm reluctant)
-Little by little, huge things can be accomplished.
-Spectacular loss weeks are usually erroneous
-Low loss weeks/gain weeks are either erroneous or a reflection of how hard I'm not working for this.
-I can speed my loss by smashing exercise but I will still lose by maintaining a small deficit.
-I set a goal of 1lb a week which, on average, I am destroying BUT I'm not afraid to stick to it and only lose 1lb a week.

 

[Larissa]

B - Nothing super busy and got up late
L - Salmon salad
D - Chinese pork curry

Congratulations for passing 2 st mark.

Ugh, Still here! Just... ugh.
Weigh in Tuesday was 0.8lb. Yesterday I stuck to my plan all day but had a bit of a binge in the evening. Today I've been feeling really really hungry which I am certain is hormonal.
I'm not a chocolate person at all. I've had 2 chocolate bars. But, when I went to the cupboard, initially I chose a big Snickers, I swapped it almost immediately for a tiny one. I don't want to fall at this hurdle, I'm just really struggling today. I do have it in my head that whatever the damage from this, it will be okay.

Slipped and fell down the stairs yesterday, have fractured my pelvis but it is stable so I am very lucky. My scales are showing 195.7 from 193.4 so a 2.3lb gain. Not the biggest gain I've had in a week and I know it's not completely attributed to my fall (probably not at all) I slipped back into some secret eating and I'll be honest, I've enjoyed. I plan to stop and get my head back in the game as of tomorrow (How? - ). I'm having the usual relaxed weigh day foods today. Also - I've started the dog on a raw diet and I need to make some space in the freezer so the family will have to eat out of there for a day or two! And, you know, even though I'm seeking all the food that I used to love and binge on, I'm actually not finding it nearly as appealing. That's got to mean something good, right?! See you all Wednesday. I'll be tracking again. I know it's an effort but I want this, I really do!

 

[Ravenous]

I am sorry to hear about your fall. Hope it is not too painful.

Totally understand about slipping and going back to the things you used to enjoy - as you said it does not taste the same does it? and you wonder to yourself why am I eating something that does not taste/smell the same.

Enjoy your day off.
