Ha! I'm used to scarring small children. I think my son is immune now.

Whatever it is, accept it with good grace and take today as a new day. Today, no matter what weigh in says, you are going to stick to plan. Keep your mini target in mind.
Good luck chica, I'm sure it will be better than you fear x

I got a STS. Which is good I suppose. I have to admit to myself that I'm having trouble re-focussing still and I did a lot of picking at the weekend. Thought I might get away with it. I didn't. Lesson learnt.
I'm also at the cusp of moving from a 13 something down into a 12 something. I've always found that I struggle to do this bit. I'm not sure if it's psychological, if my body is just freaky or what. Chances are that when I eventually go down to a 12 something I'll pop back up the week after.
Of my two upcoming targets I have 2 weeks now to do 2.5lb and 5 weeks to do 8.5lb. Another lesson learnt as i was a bit cocky about reaching those after the week I hit 5.5lb. In fact I think it's since then that I've had trouble getting my head back on plan 100%.
So a completely 100% week coming up to see how I get on. It should be pretty straight forward as I only have one day off work between now and next weigh in so the chances of having a picking day are low. As long as I prepare myself well for work it'll all be cool.
Aims for the next week:
Sunday will be my struggle as I'm on early shift starting at 7am. That's nice jammed between two week of night shifts finishing at 2am!!! So I'll be tired and hungry all day which is Danger Point for me.
Just made a good start: cup of hot water and lemon to accompany a bowl of superspeed summer fruits with low fat natural yoghurt for breakfast .
Looking forward to a 100% day turning in to a 100% week.

Aims for the next week:
- Superspeed myself to death
- Be prepared (I nicked that one from the boy scouts)
- Write everything down AND report back to you lot on my food
- Cup of hot lemon every morning
- Do NOT have a sneaky mid week weigh in.
- Do NOT have a toffee crisp even if it's within your syns (know I'm allowed - need to stop it)

Hey there! A STS is much better than a gain. A week on plan and you'll be right back on it.
Hot water and lemon to start the day is lovely - kind of helps put you in the right frame of mind.

I have the exact same problem, I always get to around 13 stone and it's like i've decided i've done really well so reward with food and back up I go!!
I've got down to 13.2.5 and since then I haven't had one day on plan.. "because i'm nearly 12 stone and thats fab so i can relax!":nono:
Good luck for the week, hope you stick to your plans 100% with ease

is not so little
Agree with Pinkie... A STS is definitely better than a gain, especially after loads of bread
Your back on track, chica! Yay! Xx

Trying - very!
I am mightily impressed at your restraint on the 4 mini-eggs. Another of the few chockies I love adn could also just go on eating them.
Also impressed with the rest of your food for today - nicely on plan. Go for the marmite WITH quark - one of fave sarnies is cheese, coleslaw and mayo (not had one in ages though :drool so it should work quite nicely with quark too.

I actually hate this diet right now.
Half pound off. Which basically means with my pluses and STS of the past few weeks that's all I've lost since the start if June. Only a half pound. I could do that by having a long wee.
I don't know what's gone wrong to be honest. It was easy before. Now it's a real struggle.
I actually feel like giving up. I could have so much more fun weighing a slice of cake.

I know where your coming from I have been struggling too, and the past few weeks I've had a gain which has put me back a few weeks. It's hard. At first it's all new and exciting and u have loads of motivation but it can wear off, you've just got to remember why it's so important to you to lose weight and keep that focus. Good luck we are all in this together xxx
