Still TOTM , usually doesnt drag on this long , still feel bloated but dropped 1.6lb overnight ....weird !!
At least Ive hit my target , even if it is only to get back to where i started , would be nice to hit 11st this month but is that too much to ask?? ha ha probably
Really glad its almost a new month and im going into it determined , in ketosis and losing for a change
My Feb target will be low at 8lb, im aiming for just 2lb a week from now on , apart from a meal out on the 11th theres nothing much planned and I can get away with chicken and salad
Hopefully Feb will be one of my good months like August and November were , Jeez this is dragging on and my target date keeps moving further and further away but its a huge learning curve for me and teaching me so much about why I eat the way I do and going some way to retraining myself
Although Ive had some disastrous months , where Ive gained or broken even because Ive fallen off plan I think they have served the purpose of teaching me that I can maintain and I can get back on and recover the situation and I dont have to spiral out of control and put it all back on again
I suppose in the long run this way , although I dont recommend it is better for me that consistantly losing until I reach goal and getting there having learnt nothing about how Im going to maintain and fight my demons
Good luck those of you weighing in for Feb challenge today or tomoro

Couldn't have put it better myself Pheonix. We all need to take stock of why we put on weight in the first place. Remember too though that it is 'normal' for folk (even those not trying to slim) to gain weight on holiday, Christmas, etc and they usually have their own ways of cutting down to get back to their pre holiday, Christmas, etc weight. Because they look slim, no one really bats an eyelid when they complain that their waistband is feeling a little tight and so they are cutting down.
So don't beat yourself up too much about the weight gains some months - it is something that is likely to happen even after you reach target. In a way, you are probably preparing yourslf for your new eating habits and treating it as a way of life. Well done and good luck and I am sure you will be in the 10s in no time.

STS this morning , although the scales did flicker tantilisingly a 0.6 loss , it wasnt to be and they settled on sts
I really cant complain Ive had a good couple of days , im in ketosis and my resolve is pretty strong at the moment , so onwards and upwards to the next challenge
Im giving myself a modest Feb target of 10lb , Id be delighted with 7 or 8 to be honest put want to give myself a bit extra to push for , who knows how Feb will go , I had very high hopes for Jan and it turned out to be a bit of a disaster but at least Ive maintained ....again !!!

should be due a loss tomoro , would love to see a lb go , feel like I cant get below this bloody weight as ive got stuck here twice before and let sts get the better of me
I think seeing 10s instead of 11s on the scales will be such a massive boost for me , Im so determined right now not to stay here forever, I want to be in the 10s by Monday

Ill try my best but Ive been soooo hungry today it just doesnt make sense
Trying to distract myself on here , this is a really tough time of day for me for some reason , from about 430 til 7 is a blooming nightmare , but i cant give in because I eat much later and if i start now , i wont make it through the evening

It's funny, it's almost like you are in a pattern of feeling hungry at a certain time of day P. Could you vary when you eat so that at this 'low' point you have just had or are just due a meal? Could you take a bit of a bar then? I have had an extra bit or two of a bar if I've felt cravings. It won't hurt. Good luck P. you're doing really well, try to find something that gets you through these low points. It's worth it!

Keep going Phoenix - think of that number 10!! I'm the same with the number 12 at the moment - obsessing about it!

Thanks Ladies , I havnt cracked , I usually go on t'internet on and off between finishing work at 5ish and 8 when my son goes to bed ,
read peoples diaries , catch up with emails , my friends on fb etc and before i know it its dinner time
hes happy becasue in between dinner , homework and playing he has rule of the tv , well until eastenders comes on
my problem is that the way i have to have my packs is not really very healthy , id love to be able to spread them out evenly over the course of the day and keep my metabolism and sugar even but it doesnt work for me psychologically
I have a real problem with late night eating , so i have to save 3 of my 4 packs for then
which only leave one for the daytime , which i have wheneve , sometimes its 10am if im really starving in the morning , sometimes lunchtime , other times mid afternoon
i drink black coffee and water to get me through
then usually after 9pm to 11pm i have my 3 packs
spag bol with veg , porridge and bar
i know its not good what im doing and i really shouldnt go to bed full but its the only way i can work it
if i have my packs 9am, 1pm , 5pm and 8pm which is probably what i should do , i just know that at 10pm ill be grabbing anything i can to eat
anyone else have an odd plan going on ? just so i dont feel totally weird

Because of a work-related situation, I spent all of January only starting on my packs after 5pm. Like you, I get the late night munchies.
This month, I'm going to try starting around 1-2pm.
It will never work for me to start before then, otherwise I will end up eating what I shouldn't.
So you're not alone hun x
