Ruth's EE Food Diary, because it doesnt work any other way.

[Trefoil]

Hello!

This is my 4th week on SW. Lost 4lbs in my first week and put 1/2 back on for the 2nd and 3rd which has crushed me.

I do write my tracker out for my Monday 530pm group but I need to see where I am going wrong. Properly.

My consultant is looking at my food diaries tonight but I will feel a lot better by daily posting.

I started the gym this week so worried that's it's linked or maybe not!!

Bit of a change today,

Lady at work is leaving and has made a massive chicken, lentil and okra curry with chapattis, onion bhajis and Eton Mess. Oh dear :/

Still keeping breakfast the same, and not having any chapattis or Onion Bhajis. Will just have a bit of curry and also leave the Eton Mess!

Keep going Ruth. Keep putting the food you have had for the day and any syns or healthy extras on here. There is always somebody who can check it over for you. Best thing to remember is plenty of speed foods and measure healthy extras.

Good luck.

Here to subscribe. It can be demotivating to see the scales going up, especially when you don't feel like you are doing anything wrong. Don't forget to do your measurements because it isn't ALL about what the scales say - despite what we all secretly think!

Hi there!! Thanks yes I feel brilliant but the scales don't reflect it :/

Thanks for your kind words I see you've restarted, how are you feeling?

Completely forgot I had these! Couple of before photos. I carry all my weight around my middle. Very happy with my arms and legs, have a size 42 back (eek) which I've always had, massively broad. My stomach is caked in stretch marks because of what I've put it through but it's getting better








Ooo they are so uncomfy! Size 14 so gonna keep them to see what happens..




This one makes me giggle. I swear I am a funny shape :/ (that's from November 2014)

Hi Ruth

It took me ages to get my mojo for any kind of healthy eating and so far, I have stayed firmly in the zone. It hasn't felt like much of an effort at all. I have only had one WI so far and after hoping for the usual great loss in week one I lost just 2lb. Can't grumble though - I am happy with that.

I just hope the losses are consistent because I also go through weeks when I lose nothing or gain and then suddenly there will be a 2.5-3lb loss so I definitely feel your pain!

I keep telling myself this is a health and lifestyle change primarily and that the weight loss will follow as a consequence. this has taken the emphasis off the scales.....

Hope the rest of the week goes well for you. x

I like you photos Ruth. You look as though you are really game for a laugh. x

Hi Maria

2lbs is fab well done!! That's it I think, it will drop off if we follow it, it may just not be consecutive!!

Have a lovely week we can do this together!!

My mum says that I'm the funniest person she's met, not sure if it's in a good way or not haha

Thank you, my family are mad, and my boyfriend is also mad. Got to surround myself my similar people to me!

I have a very good support network which I am very grateful for but they are sick of me starting and failing :/

You're doing so well! Look at your awards!!!
