thanks Anna. i always feel like i'm cheating, because im eating so much and so well, which is why i started this online diary because i thought others could point out where and if i'm going wrong!!

yeah i can't 'stomach' real food before lunch really! i hate getting up early for flights etc cause i feel starving but can't eat!!

you're doing well too! well done! and losing weight on holiday! how did you manage that?! go you!
 
thanks :) I had a week long holiday so in that 4 week period only lost a pound so it was a slow patch. I'm defiantly a pound off at a time girl which can be frustrating but trying to add in some exercide and hopefully give it a boost!
You've had a couple of losses around 4 & 5 pounds which is amazing!!
In your food diary you keep carbs low in the eve on some days, do you think that helps?
 
It's still a loss, you should be proud of yourself!

1lb a week can be frustrating, but that's the way to keep it off they say!

I have never noticed that before. i don't know! the 4/5lb losses always take me by surprise. i thought i worked out my pattern, it seemed to be a big loss (4/5lb) followed the next week by a smaller one, but that has gone out the window recently! haha!
