[KentCat]

Welcome back Autumn definitely a few of us struggling over the last couple of weeks. I'm off to my first ever spin class tonight, trying to mix up and vary my exercise regime hoping it kick starts good weight loss again.

Hello folks,ive been AWOL for a while but I'm back,yay.was away for a few days last week which led to a week of complete binging so I have gained 5-7 pounds but I'm hoping to lose it fairly quickly,fingers crossed! Realised I'm nearly a stone behind schedule for reaching my target so I need to get the finger out! Been quite stressed the past few weeks so haven't been eating great,I wish I was one of these people who lost their appetite when they get stressed! I have a job interview tomorrow and I think I would have been a good candidate for it but I haven't really had a chance to prepare for it so I'm a bit disheartened,and very conscious of making a fool of myself! At least this time tomorrow it will be over with! Hope everyone is doing well and is getting the same gorgeous weather I am!

Great to have you back. Very best of luck for your interview. I've now got under three weeks to lose 16lb ! So pissed off too!!

Thx for ur kind words - yes it's horrible - glad to report my granddaughter seems to have full hearing - she's thrilled - she was deaf in one ear and higher than 80% hearing loss in the other - yes let's get this 11lbs off asap!! You may have seen I've been upndowning and went for hypnotherapy recently - the lengths I'll go to eh??

Wonderful news about your GD ! So so pleased to hear that ! I need my mouth wired shut never mind hypnotherapy !! Do you feel it's helped ?

Yes hypno has helped but did I tell u that a close friend has died (her niece and my son married 10 years ago too - a real coincidence when they started dating!) it was her funeral today - so a horrible day for everyone here and I've eaten rubbish too.

Must have been a tough day for you today xx

I'm sure you are right, am hoping for a decent loss this week anyways and will stay on track now for sure. Thanks Upndown xx

 

[believer77]

Hi guys

sorry on the phone so can't update list but have lost another 2 lb taking me to 20 lb.

 

[Escapade]

Not sure if this is the best advise... but sometimes taking a planned break from the diet really helps me come back and get motivated again, esp if you don't go crazy so your not looking at a massive gain to lose. It really helped me when I was struggling, to be fair I did probably pretty much stick to the diet most days but I wasn't counting everything, I wasn't stressing over the scales so it felt like I was totally off the diet, I did have the odd bad thing, but came out of it still having lost weight! And my head was so much more focused again after the break.

Oh no - another rubbish week for me - can't WI or classes - hope to get back on plan - ok at b'fast at least - decided to go to WW next Tues - well done to all those who are losing - good luck to those who are struggling like me xx

 

[KentCat]

After a disappointing week last week I gave myself the week off and enjoyed my visit home to see my dad and other family. I think a spin class night helped as I'm Pleased to say my WI today was STS.

Although it won't be a full week I'm going to WI again on Friday and then change that to my WI day to match some girls I work with.

Good luck everyone else

Hi - glad u had an sts - perhaps last week's good work just didn't show up on the scales - these readings do our heads in don't they (well they do mine!) I think Friday's the best day to WI and good if u do it with a group - so good luck with thatx

Well done!!

Yes, I have done this and it does help us to focus afterwards.

Oh no Upndown! You were doing so well after hypnotherapy too. Why can't you go wi or classes, is it because you think you will have gained? They do say that you should always still go because that's when you need the most support xx

So you are going to try ww? Have you done it before? Feel free to join my diary if you want to btw. Good luck with it anyway, sometimes a change can do us good can't it! xx

 

[Sammyanth]

Well done on the sts Kentcat and good luck to you too

Thanks for ur kind message - it helps to have ur support. Yes I'm hiding from the truth (cos I know I will have gained) and I'm concerned seeing the gain will set me off on a massive binge - so trying to get back on plan today (on plan brekkie so far).

Yes ur right - I shd have gone to class but missed my SW class yest as it clashed with the funeral - and cos I'm now messing about on SW (which usually suits me and has been how I lost over 2 stone since Jan this year) so going to change to WW class on Tues - hope the change works - feeling pretty low right now and concerned I'm going to put more weight back and live up to my sign in name again - can't face that!! I'll pop in to ur diary laterxx

It's so hard when we lose the determination to stick to a diet isn't it? This time it could well be down to your recent worry over your gd and the loss of your friend. It's never easy trying to lose weight but when life's events smack us in the face then it's so much more difficult to stay on track. I do hope changing diet will give you renewed motivation and help you to get back inthe zone again as you were doing so very well.

We will have the same wi day btw!

Hope today is a good one xx
