Holiday Countdown!!!!

Thanks Amy - I am sooo chuffed. How did you get on today? Im hoping for just a 1lb for next week or 1.5lb would be excellent. It is my first week though which is why the loss is soo great but it wont' be like that everyweek - if only it were eh!
 
I think in kilograms, unfortunately. I'm not sure exactly what I lost this week, my scale isn't as precise as I'd like. Last week I was dead on 66kg (145.5lb/ 10.39 stone). This week I'm the tiniest amount about 65 (143.3lb/ 10.24 stone). I suspect I've lost something like 800g (1.76lb or 0.13 stone), but I'm going conservative and counting it as half a kilo/ 500g (1.1lb/ 0.08 stone).

(I love that Google does those numbers for me)

Most weeks- this week is exceptional- you should look to lose between 1-2lb (up to a kilogram, 2.2lb)- the smaller you are, the less you'll lose (which is my problem, I now have a healthy BMI and only have a bit over 12lb or 6/7 of a stone left to lose).
 
Good work on losing that 1lb though that's great work.
Yeah I'm a big fatty which is why my weight loss was so great this week and it being the 1st wk. And all I'm over half way to my 1st goal yipee I'm hoping for 1.5 for nxt wk fingers crossed x

:puke: uuuurgggghhhhhh I feel well not the best this morning. I only had 4 and a half glasses of wine last night which is good for me. Normally on a saturday night I would have up to 2 bottles or one bottle with a few ciders but that was all i had and i feel bleugh right now. It's such a lovely morning so I should take advantage and go for a run. Will running with a slight hangover make me feel better? Hmmmmmmmmm

I am also really hungry but don't want to eat cereal I feel like a lovely big bacon roll mmmmmmmmmmmm **drooling at the mouth with the thought** or even better a roll with square sausage and potato scone with brown sauce.

But no. I am going to go and drink a pint of water and take 2 painkillers and then get out there.

So I didn't have the roll for breakfast but nor did I go out for a run. Instead I had cornflakes and went for a walk. I'm feeling kinda lonely here and feeling kinda sad.

Breakfast = 30g cornflakes
Lunch = small bowl of lentil soup and a ham salad sandwich.
Dinner = Later I am making a chicken casserole for two with two skinless chicken breasts, carrots, mushroom, pepper. 3 baby potatoes and 2 roast potatoes mmmmmmm yummy.

No room for snacking today as I have not done any exercise at all so I want to limit my calories to 1200 or thereabouts

I'm feeling like I really want to binge. I've been sitting here for the last hour fighting with myself should I or shouldn't I go out for a run. I'm feeling really demotivated and jst really want to give up and just eat loads and loads

Total Calories = 1213

Oh and I've jst had my first compliment my SIS jst told me she can see a big difference. She knew I was eating more healthily but she didn't know how much weight I'd lost cos I deliberately didn't tell her as I didn't want the amount of weight lost to trigger people to say if u know what I mean so woohoo :)

Hmmmm today was one of those days where I could've eaten everything in sight. If someone put down in front of me like I dunno say a horse I would've eaten it. I didn't eat anything over what I would eat in a normal day but I felt today so far that I really had to try so hard. Then i had a craving for a cigarette!!! Why would that be?? I don't even smoke :confused:
I think I was just feeling really agitated cos it was so warm and my pc at work was running very slow I just felt pissed off tbh but I've got a grip and things will be ok!

Breakfast: 30g frosties
Lunch: Ckn salad sandwich, yogurt and apple
Snack: 80g pineapple
Snack: slice of toast and jam

So far so good today. No what to have for dinner hmmmmm........

What a nasty day outside. Didn't get out for my lunchtime walk nor did I get to go out for the run I wanted to do tonight either grrrrrr. This weather is really starting to piss me off.
I'm still doing ok. Feeling a bit lonely in the whole process though. I really thought I would get loads of support/encouragement but I'm getting none so I keep fighting to stop myself giving up. I'm tired of this constant fight. I've been doing well for 2 and a half weeks but now I feel I'm getting to a point where I'm just tired of it and feel like I jst really wanna give up and buy loads of stuff to binge and enjoy for today I have managed to resist the temptation but I'm scared that I'll fail again - I really can't afford to fail AGAIN!!! I'm such a lonely failure!!!

Breakfast = 30g of frosties
Lunch = chicken salad sandwich, apple & yogurt
Snack = grapes
Dinner = oven roasted vegetables and cous cous

So far I've had 959 calories

Later I will have a slice of toast with peanut butter to ensure my cal intake is 1200 or just above. I've done no exercise today so I don't want to eat anymore than that

I'm glad you're back on track. (I had a horrible day yesterday too, back on the bandwagon we go)

Are there certain foods you're craving or regularly crave? Is it worth finding low calorie substitutes to get them into your diet again, or otherwise work them in?
 
Not really Amy. Before I started this 3 wks ago I was a binge eater.for about 2months or so. I just couldn't help it I can't really say I craved anything but just thought about food like all day. It was disgusting what I used to eat I can't even tell u cos I'm embarrassed. I really liked feeling full. When I'm doing this diet I don't really feel hungry but I don't really ever feel stuffed and when I used to eat I would be gut busting full. Just now I have treats every day just to satisfy any craving that I might get but i've had one slip up in 3wks so its not worth getting upset at.
Thanks for asking though, mean a lot when ur struggling and someone offers help and advice xx

How often should I exercise? And can anyone recommend any challenges or anything that can kee0 me on my toes and motivate me?
I'd really appreciate any help. I need it now more than ever. Please help me look semi decent on my hols I really don't want to b this flabby and bloated when I'm away.
