I lost 2lb this week.
I think I might change the title of my food diary as I was flicking through the pages to find mine and I noticed that quite a few people were having 'new year, new start' diaries.
*edit* done- this is now my 'wedding countdown' food diary
Which explains why I couldn;t find it lol!
GREAT WEIGHT LOSS!! Keep it going, have you set a target loss for this week?
Did you make the moussaka? it sounds lush - you'll have to post full recipe please if you recommend we try it x

Not feeling like I will have lost this week, not because I haven't been good but because I never lose this many weeks in a row. I always settle down to a good week/bad week pattern after first couple of weeks. And I am due a bad week. I just have to not let it get to me if it happens. It'll show next week. It will. I need it to. Anyway I need to stop stressing about it. Cross that bridge if I come to it...

Well, what I thought was going to happen has happened. I gained 1.5Ib. I HATE when I gain for no particular reason. You can tell me until you're blue in the face it's water retention and weight fluctuates and all that and I KNOW it's true- but god it's annoying. Especially as there is a bit of time pressure here!

Well, I'm back on it today. Normally we just have a 'treat meal' on a saturday night and we went out and had a lovely mexican meal with lots of cocktails... ooh, so many cocktails! But yesterday my other half cruelly tempted me to have a takeaway. I must have a word with him. It's not fair. He is trying to loose weight too (has so far lost a stoen over 3 weeks. Git) but I am struggling, and it makes it harder when he is badgering to have pizza and takeaway especially the day after having a random gain... it's just so hard to say no I can't entirely blame him of course. I could have said no. So one meal turned into 1 day and a meal. Need to be extra good this week.

Well, I know i've been AWOL this week but unfortunately my grandma died unexpectedly and suddenly on Tuesday and it really threw everything out of whack. The result was I gained 2Ib this week making my total loss in January a pitiful 1.5Ib. It wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for that mystery 1.5Ib gain the week before. Grrrrr. Anyways, I'm feeling a bit more ready to get into things again, although Wednesday may be a bit weird as that's the day of the funeral
Food for today:
Breakfast Fibre plus bar HEB
Lunch Chicken and mushroom Pasta and Sauce, carrots, broccoli and sweetcorn. 3 x babybel light HEA
Dinner Bowyers 5% fat sausage 4x 1 syn= 4 syns, baked beans, fried eggs, potato wedges
Snacks Activia fat free Shape Choc dessert 5.5 syns
Drinks Options White Choc 2 syns
Total syns 11.5 syns
Syns for the week so far 11.5 syns
Syns left for the week 78.5 syns
i know the food isn't really 100% today as there isn't really enough superfree in there... but it's way way better than last week in general.
I've also made the decision to change my target from 9st to 10st. I'm running out of time and aiming for that unobtainable target is just making me feel bad I am determined to make some headway in February. My dress is ready and waiting at the dress shop for my first fitting!
