Crazy's diary, here we go

WEEK 1 - total loss - 6.75lbs
WEEK 2 - total loss - 0.80lbs (with a 5 day holiday)


WEEK 3 - (7-13 June)
-----------------------------
07/07/09 - 160.2 LBS - 1 LB

Feeling good about that 1lb weight loss, healthy eating and a bit of exercise seems to be shifting the weight for me. I went out last night too and was pretty careful but no over the top careful with what I eat. Had a great night and things will probably begin to slow down.

In a lot of pain today but going to push myself to exercise as per doctor.

3 X weetabix, apple, 2 marshmellows in chocolate, large. Small brown roll, wafter ham, spoon relish, 2 x waffles, beans.

Really pleased the weight is coming off, im not hungry at all just eating sensibly and exercising gently but surely. Incredible pain today getting some news from the doctor soon concerning that, so fingers x, may put my mind at rest. Certainly given me a boost to get fit and a big fat kick up the backside.

Onwards and upwards.

3 x weetabix, half pt sk milk, 2 x jaffa cakes, cupa soup, 1 pitta with wafa thin ham, relish, carrots and houmous dip, 4 turkey meatballs, carrots and mash small plate in sauce (high fat). 2 more jaffa and an apple this evening.

Going to try extra hard now and look carefully at what I am eating, could feel myslef sweet picking yesterday and thats not a good sign for me. Looking forward to getting to a point of not feeling guilty for doing that but at the same time enjoying the odd treat. I have a tendency to go overboard, no in between, hard one to get my head around that but will get there.

Yeah I throw myself overboard sometimes too. 1 turns into 10... I actually find it easier to avoid than to moderate most of the time.
 
congrats on the progress so far!!! Looks like you have a good routine in place! I find myself going overboard sometimes too... my weakness is salty crunchy foods... chips..... etc.

good luck!!!!
 
Marie, Karl hello to you both.

I am checking in on MYSELF mad or what as I dont particularly think Ive been focused again today, typical me so soon after doing so well. The difference is Im here and im talking to myself and thats a good sign. The chocolate and crisp machine was calling but I think I know what happened today. I usually take several snacks to work, apple, carrots, houmous, pickled onions sweet, sounds daft but they keep the cravings and hunger at bay.

Karl, me too, I am better to avoid and have a treat when I know its really going to be a treat and stay at one. When my mind is racing, is should be a definite no no.

3 x weetabix, apple, 2 x slices wholemeal bread, wafer ham, relish, crisp, chocolate bar, stick of rock (crikey forgot that one), bowl of beans, slice of bread. 2 x jaffas.

Put a little bit on, just goes to show how easy it is when you take your eye off the ball, I dont mind doing this when I get to goal as that is where I have fallen down before. I get to goal and then dont monitor my weight, not even once a month. This time its going to be a bit different, its why Im here. At least Im watchin myself closely right now and thats a good thing, I dont want to pile those 9lbs back on as already I feel so much better.
 
How odd, I was getting worried for a moment, my diary only showed 2 pages up to 6th June, thought they had all been deleted at first. Glad they havent this diary is really helping me.

14/06/09 - 159.4 LBS - 0 CHANGE

Yesterday, 3 x weetablix, half pt sk milk, salad, balsamic dressing, chicken, 30g chunks cheese, mash grilled salmon fresh, carrots, carrot batons and houmous, 6 x chunks of choc 45 cals each. Not been calorie counting yet but may be time to start doing so. Still pleased not put anything on although annoying sticking with 159.4 for 3 x days but it happens, main thing is I aint gaining so I must be doing something right. I can gains pounds overnight if I have a bad day, so no bad days then, brilliant.

My goal for this week is to lose around 1.5lbs if possible.

Ok, Ive pushed myself today.

Lets see what tomorrow brings, I think my eating has been pretty ok today, hoping to have lost a little in the morning, we shall see. So glad to have this diary to report to.

Thanks Marie for the support, it all goes such a long way.

Considering how far I walked yesterday and how I stuck to my sensible eating, I kind of thought it may well be a little shove for a bit more weight loss, it was a red hot day too, lots of water etc but not overdone it with the food. I am now 11 stone 3lbs which is much much better than 12 stone 5 lbs which I was before I joined the forum, I need to stay very mindful of this and keep positive. This is how it goes with me, lose loads at first then it slows down.

I know this is the right way and the healthy way but try telling my Brain that.

Will be thrilled to bits when I get under 11 stone.

im sure if you read on my post, you saw my frustrations with a friend who was losing LOADS of weight while im slowly trucking along.... but what you said is key and i have to keep reminding my brain that as well....
WE ARE DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY....... others take pills and cheat.... but we are working hard and the rewards will be PLENTIFUL!!!! :)


keep up the good work!!!!! It will be well worth it in the end!
 
Thanks Marie, so true of course.

Lost a bit more yesterday, at one time weighing in every day would have been a no no, but I really feel its doing me good this time round as I am staying absolutely focussed and in control. My key issues are when the weight is lost thinking I dont need to maintain and monitor - I do and I will, that is the difference this time around, I accept where I have gone wrong before. Here is hoping for an energetic day all round.

Thanks for this forum, lost over 10lbs magic

Going to try a little harder today, got a few things on this week with a mates birthday, buffet and meal out. Why is it when I start picking I cannot stop, I need to find a strategy to cope with this. If I have a food plan for the day Im ok, if there is a buffet on for example, why can I not just stick to a normal quota of food. Going to try my hardest today.
 
18/6/09 - 158.8 (STUCK)
19/6/09 - 160.8 (+ 2LBS)

Typical of me to go off track and then think stuff it, I have no internet access right now which is proving hard as I was enjoying this site but determined to get that sorted and get back on track. See how easy it is for me to pile it back on with a bad couple of days. A quick message from work.
 
19/06/2009 - 160.8 (+2)
20/06/2009 - 163.8 (+3)

5lbs on in two days, thats how I do things in a big way, no internet access to log on here and so was that an excuse to just over indulge and say stuff it. No excuse really for that. Sincerely annoyed with myself.
