Over a Third of the way - Needing a little support!

[Sazmajig]

Hey guys, Sarah here (Sazmajig came from my little brother !!)

I have decided to try and kick myself into gear a bit - I had tried to do the food diary but I'm rubbish at getting online daily to update it. I will post my food diary on here but there will be times where I can't/forget etc

March was a slow Month for me (I lost 4lbs) which is not good at all. I think this is because I stopped posting online. I had been averaging at nearly half a stone a month which I was coping with but now that has dropped
I really want to lose at least 7lbs this month but ideally 9lb to get me to half way to target! I have a big family party coming up the second weekend in May and no real plans for this month so I shouldn't have too many obstacles/excuses in my way. Just myself :sigh:

I would love some buddies to keep me on track and tell me when I'm being silly, I'd also love to share the highs and the lows with anyone that wants to listen/read. And if I do it on here then I feel someone is watching me, therefore I am accountable (thats the plan anyway!)

Currently as it stands....

Start Weight - 15st 10lb
Current Weight - 13st 7lb

2st 3lb lost
3st 7lb to lose

Hi Sarah from another Sarah

Wow you sound just like me!! I had a very wobbly March with only myself to blame, I don't even think I had lost 4lb - but you did, so well done you - and it's 4lb off and not back on
I think the not posting or keeping a food diary is the problem with me too, try to keep up to date with it, I'm going to do the same.

Do you do any exercise? I have recently taken up walking and managed 10 miles last week, it's helped a great deal with my loss this week!

You're doing so well though, just think how it could have been if you never started this journey? We're all here for the same reason in the end... I'm sure we all have a wobble from time to time, it wouldn't be a journey otherwise!

Keep your chin up!!

Hi Sarah Thanks for stopping by

March was completely my fault too... my anniversary so had a day off which snowballed into 6 days off!! Haha. Oh well was a nice few days - not really worth it though.

I do some exercise and I really could/should do more. I walk my dog for 30 minutes at least 5 times a week (sometimes for miles and sometimes a mile or so) I also go swimming but haven't been for a couple of weeks. And even more ashamedly I have a gym membership paid for by work that I barely use (I kept on saying once I'd lost a stone I'd go more but I've lost over 2 and still barely going

Oh yeah, I always think what if I didn't start - that is motivation enough! And the sunny weather is certainly helping me feel energised. I just want it to happen quickly, I'm so impatient in almost all aspects of life!

Todays food

B - Weetabix Minis & Milk (HeB & Part HeA)
Snack - Grapes and an Apple
L - Chicken and Bacon Loaded potato skin (Part HeA) & Salad (2 syns Mayo)
D- Thinking Risotto with ham, sweetcorn and mushrooms/peas <---- haven't decided on what to flavour the risotto with!

Will update later if I have anything else of change it, but I'm thinking this is my plan for the day. I don't really feel very hungry today!

 

[Sazmajig]

Ok so dinner went from risotto to burger and chips (all SW friendly) with beans and gherkins - and homemade burger sauce (3syns)

Went for an hours dog walk tonight and tomorrow I'm cleaning someone's house for work so a good amount of body magic thus far!

Have the family over for dinner tomorrow night, and as mum is on SW too it will be a completely free dinner I do.

Hope everyone is having a lovely evening xx

Here to sub and offer support Sarah, good luck for this month

 

[Sazmajig]

Thanks Mick hiya

Last night wasn't too bad - a few glasses of vino consumed but I'll just be extra good on my Syns for the next few days

We had family over for dinner and the OH made a SW friendly dinner (tbh he always make SW friendly food) it was a completely free dinner and as j hadn't synned at all all day nor really for the last few days we had some wine with dinner

Not sure our plan for today - so looking forward to the next few days off

Now to steer clear of booze!

 

[Mick1892]

last night sounded fun. ive had no alcohol at all since I started this, but not a massive drinker anyway, we have family down from Scotland next weekend so wine will be getting consumed then for sure

It has to be done once in a while!!

So the last couple of days have been good for me.

Yesterday the OH wanted McDonald's whilst we were out (we hadn't had breakfast) so he got some and I waited till we were home to have bacon and eggs! We also went out to families all day and I had minimal Syns - just some Pringles. My brother cooked a SW dinner which was delicious and completely free

Today has been good too - we had eggs bacon and toast for breakfast and although I got one Easter egg I haven't touched it. I think I'll save it to have a bit each day during the week. It works out at 27 Syns for the whole thing (and it's only a little one - 100g!)
And most of today has been spent visiting my OHs nan in a nursing home so could easily have veered off plan.

I fancied something naughty to eat when we got home so I had SW chips - loads of them! And for my speed food I had gherkins

Now figuring out what to have for dinner... prob jacket spud, beans and cheese

In ow trying to figure out what to watch this evening - might pop in a film. I've had 4 Syns today so I might treat myself to something sweet this evening. Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Mine feels so odd as we've had so many days off!

Hi, here to sub xx

Thanks lovely

Ok so I've had a good weekend - resisted chocolate (mostly - but that's not hard as I am more of a savoury person)

I eat well and only really had a few syns Friday - today. I'm getting weighed in tonight and I haven't been on the scales at all this week! Which is so unusual for me as I weigh too many times a day. I'm hoping there is a loss. If there isn't it can only be down to not eating enough. I have been having two meals a day as we've been out most days and I've opted not to eat bad food meaning I've gone without.

Fingers crossed guys!

Now off for a day with my pregnant friend to do manicures and face packs (she's 34 weeks!)

 

[Sazmajig]

2lbs off today so pleased!

just treated myself to some chocolate and I'm so annoyed with myself...really wish I hadn't. Even contemplating making myself sick. I know that's awful to say but I really just feel annoyed at myself

Do not be making yourself sick, infact don't even be mad, a lil bit of chocolate aint gonna kill you. Back on plan tomorrow and another loss next week. don't be beating yourself up over it and well done on your loss this week

 

[Sazmajig]

Thanks Mick

I don't know why I got so annoyed with myself - I just never eat chocolate so I don't know why I wasted my syns on it I would rather have had a glass or two of wine for that! I did make myself sick a little (I have only done this twice a long time ago before) I didn't really bring up much and i felt so awful after that its not something I feel proud of. I've even got this horrible thing that happens when I make myself sick that I get a LOAD of tiny pinprick spots (like blood to the skin surface) on my face so I have a horrible reminder of my stupidity :cry::sigh:
I know I am an idiot


Feeling more motivated today - I have woken with a positive attitude and am looking forward to eating lots more speed food this week and giving 100%. Currently had a mullerlight and fruit for breakfast and have bolognese and a jacket potato for lunch.

Hope everyone has a good day xx

 

[miataiblue]

Well done on your loss!

I agree with Mick, sw is about losing the weight as well as the guilt. You're doing really well and a bit of chocolate is sometimes needed (daily for me! Lol).

Personally I have a treat after weigh-in every week. Something that i fancy that isn't on plan as I find that my weekly treat stops me feeling deprived xx

Call me Sarah

Thanks, feeling better today. I had dinner at my OHs mums (she did a SW tea which was scrummy) I also had a couple of glasses of wine but I could afford the Syns so it was ok

Hope you've had a good day x

Testing day today....

So I met up with a friend and her child who live an hour away today - we haven't seen each other in ages.

We firstly went to costa coffee and whilst they had hot chocolates with cream & marshmallows etx I had a diet lemonade! We then went to Greggs to get lunch but I went to Iceland and grabbed a meatball meal and mullerlight for lunch

They then snacked on Easter eggs later on whilst I smacked on grapes... Feel really pleased and so glad there was an Iceland nearby! Made thing a lot easier.

Going to treat myself to chicken, salad and chips tonight (all SW friendly!) and make sure I make enough for tomorrow. If I feel peckish later I might have cheese on toast or some hifibar a and fruit.

The only thing I have to do more is drink more water! Hope everyone is having a good day xx
