2014 weight loss challenge

[Autumn500]

Thanks Autumn My weigh day is tomorrow so I shall update the list then as I know I've gained a fair bit. I'm ok with it though as knew having two weeks off was going to set me back but I'm still determined as ever and back on track. Well I hope the scales are kind to you on Wednesday. Have you not weighed yourself for a while? I couldn't do that, am addicted lol!

That's great you enjoyed your time off but are ready to get back on board, I don't think I would be able to have a planned break, I think it would turn into a lifestyle for me lol.

I'm weighing in on the last day of every month, I had a sneaky weigh in last week sometime and had gained, so I'm expecting to be up a few pounds but hopefully I can work on my eating this month to try and get a loss next month. I was addicted too and when I started exercising I knew I would gain a bit and I didn't want the scales putting me off exercise, although any gain I have on wed will be the result of overeating, not exercise lol

Morning all,

Ended up on a vintage bus ride to work this morning with the tube strikes, very surreal! lol

Good luck with weigh-in tomorrow!

I feel soooooo nervous. I won't even be able to relax after 9.30 interview out the way as I then need to prepare for the 3pm one.

 

[Sammyanth]

Well I hope both interviews go well and you get a job you can be happy in CatA xx

As I thought I have gained 5.25lbs but just realised that that is over the last three weeks not two so it's not bad considering I did eat everything in sight while away! So, quite happy with that. Hope everyone has a great day today and good luck for tomorrow Autumn and for everyone else this week

Thanks sammy

Really hoping I get seconds and/or job offer as I feel like I get more and more depressed and moody the longer I work here.

I REALLY want comfort food today to soothe my nerves :/

 

[Sammyanth]

It's not easy dieting when we're under strain as that's exactly what we want to do. Is there anything you can have within plan (a snack of some sort) that might take the edge off for you?

 

[Sammyanth]

I've updated the list because of my gain. Ouch!! It's doesn't look so good seeing it written down

I don't want something that fits the cals lol

I have my whole day planned out and already been scoffing the snacks to try and stop me craving.

Problem is it isn't working, I really want a huge bar of dairy milk, big bag of proper crisps, a huge serving of extremely cheesy pasta with grilled cheese on top....*drool*

Aw god. Good luck!!!!! Sure you will do fab! I know how awful interviews are. Just breathe and give yourself time to answer the question and try and stay calm. Hugs! xxx

I have WI tomorrow and I have a feeling I'm going to have gained. Not sure what's gone wrong the last couple of weeks I seem to just be sitting around the same mark, gain one week lose the next to then go and gain again.

Considering not doing my WI tomorrow, and giving myself another week to get my head back in the game - does anyone else do that?

I hate them!

First couple of jobs (6 months and 3 years) were temping so you are just put straight into it. Then I got the job before this one (13 years) which was a new role at the time and the HR woman knew my Mum (she was working for the recruitment agency as an MD) so she just got me in for a quick chat on what I knew systemswise and offered it to me there and then so I never had a proper interview til the job I am in at moment. Not much practice!

You'll be fine. Remember they're not trying to catch you out just find out what you know and what you can do.

Don't rush to answer questions, pause process what they've asked and then answer.

Smile and be positive

Yes I do that ! It's so soul destroying when you know you have had a gain sometimes it's better not knowing and giving it 100% for the next week !

 

[KentCat]

I braved the WI and by some miracle of the diet gods I've stayed the same. I'm glad I did it because I'm now motivated to move the hell away from this mark and also I can't write the whole week off and go into self destruct mode as it hasn't been as bad as I was expecting.

Well done

I had a naughty peek and have a gain of 1.5lb's at moment...I blame interview nerve eating.

1.5hr's til first one...argh!

 

[Autumn500]

I will try to catch up on the thread at lunchtime, hope everyone is good, best of luck for the interviews cat, bet you can't wait for this evening to have them over!

Weigh in this morning and I'm up .75 pound, which is def better than I thought, but obv I need to be losing so I need to knuckle down and get my food sorted. It's my birthday this weekend and me and oh have a few days off together which is rare, so I'm going off plan until next wed I think
