Thanks for the birthday wishes ladies I had a lovely day but I'm sooooo over eating crap now, I think il just try and get on board from today (although oh bought me chocolates and my mum bought me cupcakes and it would be rude to waste them lol). I feel so ill and groggy and sluggish and it's all from eating crap- I really wonder why I put my body through that! I submitted my weight for my diet bet yesterday and it starts tomorrow so I need to lose 6.25 pounds in a month, which is healthy enough, but quite a lot for me! Hoping it kicks me up the bum to get going ageing, been struggling big time lately

Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday, the weather is rubbish here, Sod's law as me and oh have three days off together! :-(

Yes if only we knew why we do it eh? Overriding reason for me is cos it tastes so lovely - so eat much tooooo much - then as u say feel rough!

Bet sounds like a good idea and u've set an achievable target!

Sorry weather's not good with u either - but enjoy chocs and cupcakes ........

Funny how you can totally sicken yourself ! I get food hangovers lol ! Sometimes it's a good thing and makes you really crave clean eating again. Is your bet with workmates? It's a great incentive - good luck honey xx

 

[Autumn500]

It's through the diet bet website, the girl who does all the Pilates videos I do has set it up-basically you bet 30 dollars (about 18 pound) that you will lose 4percent of your body weight in a month, then you submit a full length photo of yourself and a picture of the scales reading and they verify it, then you send a final weigh in at the end of the month. If you don't reach the goal, you lose your thirty dollars, I f you do reach it, you get a share of the pot. There's nearly 2000 players in it and 57000dollars. It's really in your hands, if everyone loses the weight then we all get our money back again. I don't wanna waste money so hopefully that will be incentive enough lol

Great effort and a good idea - but it'd only work for me unless I was so shattered after the ride that I cdnt get to the food cupboards!

But hopefully ur more sensible than me and ur energy high & matching halo will keep u on the straight and narrow!

 

[Beckieee]

I'm back at work tomorrow and someone bringing in cakes need to stay motivated!

 

[CatA]

Seriously struggling to get back on track. Last week started off good but then we pigged out in celebration at the end of it and over bank holiday.

Result - another 3lb on...seriously need to stop doing that now!

Sod's law its TOTM week so extra fight needed....plus I should hear feedback/declines/offers for second interviews etc this week hopefully.

ARGH all round!

Updated list as now have an even higher target....gah!

Well done KMD!

I've been stuck between the same two points for weeks now, either STS or putting on a 1lb to lose it the next week and then STS again. Fingers crossed I can break the cycle and lose this week saying goodbye to 16st 3lbs.

Well done to all the losers! Seems like a few people are struggling,me included.I know when it clicks it clicks,and I'm so motivated but when that's not there I really struggle,my willpower has flown out the window so I'm really having to try hard to get it back.I think if I could stick it out and see a nice loss it would be my motivation to continue on.the problem with weighing monthly is that you don't get that weekly boost if u have a loss,but its so much better for my sanity and mood to weigh less often,,so I don't know what to do for the best really.

That turned into a bit of a ramble lol,oops!

 

[CatA]

Well done!

Praying I can lose something this week. Scary how close to 15st I have gotten again. I was in the 13's a month or two back dammit! Willpower died completely as you have said Autumn. It's such a struggle to get the right frame of mind as I can do really well when I get back into the swing. I definitely need to see losses, whether it's lb's (although this is the preferred obviously) or cm's.

So far I have had one snack later than I normally would...hoping it means my willpower will make a reappearance as not really craving food. I do have a flask of triple strength (aka 3 teabags) iced green tea I am slowly diluting with sugar free squash and cold water to try and help as well as I read it was good for metabolism and weightloss.
