Claire you are doing very well. I started a couple of days before you and have 13lbs so far. It is a bit slow but it is coming off which is better than gaining or staying the same.

I found doing a diary on here helps me. It is for me to refer to when I need to but more than happy for other to look and point out if I am doing something wrong.

Have been really good and 100% but I think that my food intake was not enough this week and last 2 days I have been off food and almost had no superfree. lost 1/2lb this week so decided to have a day off plan and re-start tomorrow.

Everyone is so lovely and supportive.

Keep positive and we get there.

Thank you very much, can you see anything wrong with my plans???
Well done on your loss. I sometimes agree maybe i dont eat enough myself but my food diary is always full so not too sure.
I know my weight is shifting slow but shifting but i am my own worse enemy and really beat myself up. I dont know why just do. Have you started doing any bodymagic yet??
Thanks again hun

Its the W'end



So then tomorrow night me and the hubby should have been going to an amazing restaurant for an amzing meal but ive made him cancel it as the cost was rediculous, and when ur on a diet you just dont enjoy it the same do you???
Instead we are off to the harvester, not the same i know but at least we can both enjoy a meal their.

So today hasnt been fantastic was out the house ay the crack of dawn, so no time for breakfast, however had a good dinner and will be having a very good tea so hopefully it shouldnt matter too much.

GREEN

Dinner - Chickpea Dharl Loaf, Chickpeas savory rice and eggs peppers and onions. Served with green beans

Tea - SW Chips, egg and mushy peas. Followed by natural yoghurt and summer fruits

Syns - Scan Bran (2) Mikado (3)
HE - 30g Chedder (Cheesy Chips) HEa, 2 hifi light bars, HEb 113g bernard mathews wafer thin ham

With all that food just doesnt make sense that you could loose weight does it.
Well i am really hoping for my 1stone award on monday so am off the gym again tomorrow morning and then again on sunday.

Hope you all have a fab weekend whatever you choose to do Enjoy!!

Love Clairebear

I am trying to do 20 - 30 minute walk daily but must admit to being a bit sporadic with it - I probably need to drink more water too. To be honest I don't find my class really inspirational the consultant is v nice but not terribly clear - she just told me to chat with one of the others to work out where I might be going wrong!I think I'm learning more from this site so will leave that particular class and try it from home for a while - thank you x

I am exactly the same. I beat myself up about everything in life at the moment.

I started body magic - walking with Leslie sansone (on youtube) and exercise bike almost every day. Have kept myself hydrated. I can see physical changes like my middle tyre is almost gone but scales are moving very slowley.

Did SW about 10 years ago and my weekly losses were very good. Think this time it is slower as I am not rushing around (when I was at work, I constantly was on the move - miles of walking in the office each day).

Last couple of weeks been doing Green days with odd EE. I think it is important to eat as much as possible (eating until satisfied)- all HEXs and syns which I am not doing. Typical example is today I had 1xHEXB and 1/2xHEXA, 6 syns and certainly not enough veg and fruits.

I am going to stick with it and hopefully the weight start shifting.

I do it from home as class gets on my nerves. This forum is much better. I put the class money in a jar and treat myself with an item of clothing on a special occassion like birthday, easter,etc. More rewarding than put in someone elses pocket and not benefit.

hi claire was just having a read of your diary :wavey:

don't know why you worried it seems your doing fine to me:happy096:

now i am no expert but tips i have picked up from here that really seem to help me might interest you.

My first thought on reading your diary, was to wonder if you were actually eating enough especially if you are more active now with the body magic etc.

I also on the advice of a couple of fab people on here, increased my syns and stopped being afraid of using them all

also are you drinking plenty at least 2 lts per day ?

i find the weeks i am 100%, drink plenty and keep my syns between 10 and 15 i get my best losses.

over the last 6 months i have averaged 2 lbs a week, that's exactly the sort of loss that's sustainable and most likely to stay off

quite honestly i think you are doing just fine and should be proud of your self :clap::clap::clap:

 

[daisybell18]

Hi Claire, have just finished reading your diary. I think we started at almost the same time and I too have been asking myself similar questions to yours. The advice on here is great and comes from people who "have been there and done it". Have also asked the question, how can I possibly lose weight eating this amount but it does seem to work.

I was reassured last week when told by more than one person that the scales often take a week to catch up with what we eat and do. Lo and behold, 3lb weight loss at WI yesterday.

I will follow your diary and we can compare notes. Keep it up and good luck

 

[clairebear83]

Broadsbean thats excellent advice i do know that although i drink black coffee and green tea i do not drink ebough water, so this week i shall!!! Also i will be increasing my syns most days aiming to use 10 syns. Thank you very much i really appreciate the feedback

just so long as you don't come looking for me if it all goes wrong

have a good week xxxxx

 

[Rachel7896]

Hi Claire,

Just been reading your diary and i think you're doing fab! I'm only losing about 1lb - 2lb a week but socially i eat out a lot and like to have a drink on weekends. I love that i can go out for a meal and make better choices, rather than having something i know is bad for me, and still lose weight even if it is 1lb. Much better than what i was doing before! You're doing great, well done x

 

[clairebear83]

Rachael great outlook hun thanks xxx need to share your philosophy
xxxx

 

[broadsbean]

totally missed your weight loss

well done xxxxx:happy036:
