Sunday Weighers... or is it only me?

Fab target honey. Just remember to look at the bigger picture during the year because you worry that you have started to slow down when actually the bigger picture is that you have continued to lose consistently throughout with the odd gain (normal) here and there. A fantastic role model for all of us. :D

I weighed in today with another gain of 5.5 lbs (totally deserved) but as I was a total pig yesterday I am hoping for a good loss this week. I am going to reset my 'target' (when i get on my computer) for now to lose the stone that I have put on recently so that I can't rest on my laurels from my previous losses. Then when I get there I will go back to my 5.5 stone and aim for that very long awaited 6 stone.

I am focused again now but need to find some strategies to maintain that no matter what's going on in my life - this is long term for me so I need to fit this around what's going on. Watch this space.........!

Thanks Gail, I know you're right - looking back my weight loss has been very consistent, and only slowed down/plateaued when I wasn't walking. I'm going to try to be more chilled out from now on, and I have set myself very low targets for next year.

Your gain is pretty normal for this time of year, and I'm sure that you'll get it off in January no matter what. I am HUGELY impressed that there are a lot of us who have been here for months and months and months, and steadily losing weight. How amazing is that? I know you're going to succeed!

I've been thinking about what has worked for me and what hasn't, and I think that tracking does work well for me, as does accountability. I think you're absolutely right, you need individual strategies for you specifically - what are the things you struggle with? For me, in particular, eating out and socialising was a bit of a problem, but I think I've come up with some effective ways of dealing with that: realistic pre-planning has helped me HUGELY. I do not make good healthy choices if I am unprepared, but a bit of thought beforehand will make a huge difference.

Anyway, December 27 and I've had a huge bowl of porridge and raspberries, and hand on heart, that's been nicer than all the chocolates of Christmas Day! I know I'm going to see a gain on new Year's Day, and that's fine, but I'm sticking to healthy eating for the next four days and also planning to walk two or three times a day and really get my heart racing!

Hope all you fab people are having a super duper day :D

Hi sausage,

I did my first 100% day yesterday and even though I was really looking forward to it, I found it hard. Stuck to it though and am still on track today (although I'm not yet out of bed yet :eek:) so far ! I suspect this is going to be hard for a little while but hopefully it will get easier again. We'll keep trying together because I can't go back !!

Well done all for getting back on track.

I'll start 100% from tomorrow.
Apart from Friday night, when I'm out for a chinese with Delightful Dawn and Gorgeous Gwyn.

And aiming for a loss this week.

Good luck, everybody!
 
PMSL @ Sarah's new avatar!! Nice one :D


My "100% day" yesterday went very well until about about 6pm then it all went pear-shaped. I'd had a healthy brunch and dinner - loads of sprouts! :p Even did some exercise - digging in the garden and found a load of forgotten red onions yay! In the evenings I need locking up :(

You know when you are so pregnant that you can no longer just roll over in bed? You have to sit up to roll over? That was me last night :eek: Jeezo. I avoided posting my weight this week, but I reckon I should do so today as a safety net to stop me gaining any more. After being 14st something for months and months last year and almost reaching the 13s for so long, today the scales say 15 st dead. Oh the horror! :eek:

I am out tonight at a family do at my brother's for a buffet and quiz. More food. My mum says that as I have put it on quickly, I should lose it quickly. Hope she is right.

My challenge for this week is to not weigh any more on Sunday that I do today.

Hope your week is going better :) xxx
 
Thanks, Soss.
You rumbled my secret identity then?

I hope your mum's right - and she probably is. Just don't give it a chance to settle, and it won't really have turned into proper "fat".
I have no idea what the real science is behind it, but certainly you can put on and then lose quite a significant amount of weight if you do it straight away.
Sadly, mine has now been put back on over quite a prolonged period, and therefore I suspect it will take a prolonged period to lose it to.

Bah!
 
Of course. I'm VERY intelligent.
And I have lots of food theories, which I'm sure are totally correct.

Apart from the things that everybody knows, such as that if it's broken, all the calories fall out, same as if you eat it standing up. Or if it's off somebody else's plate, the calories have already gone to them, so it's free for you. And that all birthday items are free, and that it's free if nobody sees you eat it.
Those are all well known.

My latest addition is that if it's full of holes, the rest of it is only connecting material, and therefore free.
This holds true for crumpets, Aero, Wispa, and most whipped foods that are full of air pockets (cream, sponge cake, yorkshire pudding...)
 
Well... I was 45 minutes into a good, solid, sweaty, Just Dance workout and there was a loud knock at the door. I was mortified thinking it was the neighbours complaining about the dancing elephant through the wall, but no...it was a courier with my new actifry! Woohooo! :D

The courier threw me off my groove :rolleyes: so we charged along to the spud shop then made our first batch of healthy chips. I am trying to gently wean my fussy son off frozen oven chips so used sunflower oil as a compromise in case the shock of eating a fresh vegetable killed him, and he loved them! He says he will try olive oil next time. Result! Oh yeah, and the chips were scrummy! :drool:

Still on plan :D
 
Oh Soss!!

I know the feeling - my goal is not to put on all the weight I lost this year!!

I am only 6lbs lighter which seems a complete waste of time :-( I guess if I hadnt been good I'd be even larger!!

So I can report a gain of 5lbs since previous 2 week weigh in. I have also checked my Weightbot and since 14 August it all went a bit t*ts up quite frankly!!

Today (so far ) I have been 100%

Gonna try to be good again tomorrow & Friday and then enjoy New Years (Chinese) and see if I can be good in DDs birthday on New Years Day!!!

Hey guys! Posted earlier but my post got eaten. I am so so hungry today, lol. Trying to be good and eat well but it's hard - I know you'll all sympathise!

Kwise and Sausage, I know it's hard to have gains BUT they are tiny little gains comparatively speaking. I don't know about you guys, but before when I've stopped losing weight, I have put the whole lot back on (that's really common, I think). Coming here and stating what you've gained is a real triumph, you're not hiding away from it (which is what I used to do years ago), and that's why I know you're going to b successful, because you're so tenacious and stick at it no matter what. I have a sneaking suspicion that this thread has a lot of 'stayers', sticking at their goals despite setbacks. I am honestly so proud of us all for posting here over the toughest two weeks in the calendar. And we're trying to stick to our guns - how amazing is that?!!!

So yeah. I want to dive into chocolates, but I'm now going to have a prawn stir fry and then a walk. And if I do indulge next weekend, at least I will have had some days of healthy eating in between to minimise any gains. We're so awesome! (((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))
