100% on plan for two weeks from 18 June

[Jo1989]

I'm about 26.5 I think. Need to lose 10lbs to get to a 25 BMI so probably looking at 2/3 weeks. Yeah, just keep repeating to myself its not forever. In London for 4 days work from the 7th October so hopefully at 25 by then and will come back to maintenance. I'll then think about getting lower, perhaps to BMI to 23. I just want to maintain at a healthy weight first.

How you doing?

 

[Lizwhite29]

That won't take long at all. What plan you on?
I'm all good, watching a league of their own. Funniest programme ever!!!! X

I'm back on SS, brutal! Ha I'm on the X Factor, makes me feel so Christmassy!! I'll actually be glad to get back into work and be busy as lazing about I've got no distractions from food.

Such a rocking Saturday night I'm having!

 

[Lizwhite29]

We watched that too. That guy at the end was amazing!! Downton is back tomorrow, actually too excited lol.
You not at work at the mo? Or do you mean just this weekend? I find it easier being off work. X

I do like a bit of Downton!

I just mean this weekend. Do normally find weekends easier as if I'm wavering I can just stay in, but the way my body is reacting this time, it'd be nice to have the distraction of work! Though mind you, the impromptu lunches are hard to avoid

Are you doing your exercise before or after work? How much you doing?

 

[Lizwhite29]

I'm doing 2 x pt sessions a week which is weight lifting type of training (love it), boot camp once a week and 3 runs a week. It's made such a change to my shape, I'd prob be at goal now if I hadn't of exercised but like the definition I'm getting especially in my arms. Have always hated my arms but not as bad now.

Goodness me thats so dedicated!! How many cals are you having a day?

 

[Lizwhite29]

Between 800-1000.

How you feeling this morning?

I keep seeing so many posts lately from people returning after gaining everything back. I'm so scared it will happen to me but makes me determined not too. X

Ohh still low cal. How many will you aim for on your weekday maintenance?

Are the losses good on the plan?

Yeah I know what you mean, I've been there a couple of times I think maintaining will be down to a constant commitment to monitor/control your weight and to be fair, it sounds like you've already made a commitment to that, so keep doing what you're doing and I think you'll be fine.

I think it will be trial and error for maintenance but planning on 5 x 1000 cal days then 2 x 2000 days plus the exercise. See how that works out. Was losing about 2lb a week doing that but had naughty days the past 2 weeks. Once I get to goal I'm planning on introducing porridge at breakfast too. I enjoy my lunch and dinners just feel deprived at breakfasts.

What's your plan? X

That all sounds really good.

Think I'll go for 5:2. Being realistic, I don't know if I'll ever get the urge to binge totally under control but at least those 2 days fasting should net off any extra calories! Think I'll keep an eye on my weight by weighing weekly and if I ever get to more than 4-5 lbs above goal I'll do a couple of weeks of the higher steps to get me bank in check. I love the idea of the steps but from experience know that doing the steps is when I lose the plot!

I have woken with a horrible headache again I just don't get it.

Where are you Anne and Kiwi?

Ketosis euphoria has definitely not kicked in for me, just feel so grumpy about the plan. Not going to give in but partner is back and just asked me why I keep putting myself through this rather than doing eating in moderation/gym and I didn't really have a response except I think I cracked maintenance when I got back from hol with pretty much the 5:2 and I'd rather maintain at a lower weight.

 

[Lizwhite29]

Hopefully not with there heads in the biscuit tin lol.

Been fine today, how about you? Just cooking chicken and veg.

Went shopping earlier with my other half and my baby niece. She's so sweet and a good distraction for being on a diet lol.

Awww sounds like a nice day.

Lets hope they're behaving! Think Anne is at a wedding?

I'm just grumpy grumpy. Woke with a headache and even though that's gone away I feel so irritated to be staying 100% on plan! Totally irrational. Normally I'd be pleased. Hopefully I'll snap out of it when I'm at work busy.

You feeling good today?

Was down home at my dads. It was the 5th anniversary of my mothers death so i cooked lunch for 22 of my nearest and dearest. Just in the car, hubs driving but I'm originally from the west of ireland and signal is crap down here. She was 58, i couldn't imagine only having 20 years left. I was 10 3.75 on dads scales this morning. Its a sham though as his scales always weighs light.
