A game that i'll win! My journey.

Hey emmey don't worry too much about weekly losses, they fluctuate so much. An example is me maintaining for weeks and weeks and then suddenly I drop 3.5!

Our bodies do what they want sometimes, I think the thing to focus on is seeing a minus each week in your book. No matter how big or small. Also it's good to look at your monthly losses as well as weekly ones

I don't feel like I'm on a diet. 10 months on and this is how I eat and how I plan to eat forever. People look stunned when I tell them I plan to stick to sw for life but it's become a life habit now and a good habit at that! It's normal eating. And I can't wait to tuck into my roast dinner in half an hr

Not feeling great today, not sure why, I'm not going to get in any normal exercise this week aside from my job of walking all day and this is making me worry for my WI this week.

I feel a bit strange, the feeling of being on a diet has gone, I really feel like what and how and how much I cook is just the norm now and it worries me that I won't lose this week? Because it doesn't feel like I'm having to try hard I won't see a loss, does that even make sense?

Just feel a bit 'blah' today really, I expect my loss to slow but to what exactly? Is 0.5 or 1lb a week ever going to get me where I need to be in a realistic timeframe? Is it realistic to sustain a 2lbs a week loss?
My friend who just got her 3.5 stone award lost 3.5 last week... Which gives me hope some larger loss is still sustainable even after doing it for nearly a year

Think I'm just worried I won't lose anymore :-s

Emmey, had real bad couple of days myself last week and felt exactly the same as you.
The thing is I could'nt put down exactly the way I was feeling either.Must admit I questioned why I was doing this and felt like I wanted to 'give in'.
I think some days we just feel a bit or very'Blah'it's on days like this we need support.
The thing is we are re-educating our diets so it becomes a 'normal' part of life.
Reading all the other guys posts on this thread I feel like they make a lot of sense.
Keep your chin up doll :bighug:

Made me smile!

Probably didn't help my mood to step on the scales tonight then! Oops! Need a kick up the ass, food wise I'm doing fine but I'm not the type that's good at waiting for things and I know I'll have to wait a while to get where I want to be, after seeing the number on te scales earlier I'll be glad of any loss at this rate!

Gonna go sulk for a while and be back with a better attitude tomorrow

Ooops!! So it appears I've been eating what I think are more syns than I realised!!!

I thought the McCain rustic chips skins on we're 1 syn per 100g.... I've just been informed their 2.5 per 100g after cooking!

Yikes! Guess I should be pleased I've still been losing... How did I get that so wrong?!

Other half has checked the SW website it says 100g frozen - 1 syn
100g cooked as directed 2.5


Now he's just looked and we entered the nutrition info and it says 1syn...

So confused :-S

Awww don't worry about the chips, 1.5 syn difference could b worse!

As for the scales...I don't think there is a cure for this?!! I caught it too...but for me I will only get weighed first thing in the morning, naked, before I have had time to wake up and can't have had a drink or anything!! If I accidentally get in the shower first I can not weigh myself! Sometimes iforce myself into the shower before I get on my scales. For some reason I believe my body may absorb water in the shower!! Lol I am a nut job!!!
