You haven't fallen flat on your face honey, far from it. You have sensed a wobble and made good, sensible plans to help you through it. I so empathise, am finding 810 SUCH a challenge and dreaming of 1200. You have made a really good start and if you now choose to move up a plan or so that is fine. You do a lot more exercise than I do, so no wonder you are struggling. 1200 is a fab plan, and fits so much more easily into our lives. And if it helps you to start training properly for your mountain challenge, that's great... all the focus you need.
Please don't be so hard on yourself AlexM, you are a star and always will be to me. If you are human as well... well, hey, we all are. Keep shining, you can do this.
Hugs.

Claire, you have done so well over the last year, and your Jan start has been inspirational. Thats not to say you are invincible to the same urges we all have, and i have to say....fruit!! Its hardly a 500g bar of chocolate now is it? Someone said something very similar to me once when i was struggling. When i stopped and thought about it, i realised how daft i sounded, berating myself for eating an apple. It made me realise that there may came a time when the limitations of the plans may not suit us, and this is when our attempts at our own healthy eating plans come into play. I think after the journey most of us have been on to lose the bulk of the weight, we can allow a bit of flexiblity when we near goal. Its not as if you are returning to 'old' habits, but wanting to expand your new ones.
On a personal note, i would love to be able to do what you are, with some confidence that i could stick to it. But i'm no where near quite being able to trust myself yet. So will be watching with interest, here to help if can, and hopefully picking up some tips! xx

Your menu sounds great AM! We all have wobbles - it's how we handle them that matter! You've really thought about what you want to achieve and you have a great motivation and will get there - so don't worry about the occasional wobble - just keep focussing on the goal ahead!

Hi Everyone
Well it's been a mad mad week - but a good week
OK firstly - the 1200 cals is going well, some days I've possibly been a bit under, but all in all, the wants have stopped, and I think it's because I am allowing myself to have the fruit again, to eat properly again, and more than that the scales shockingly so far are down!
I weighed in this morning at 10 stone 2! FANTASTIC!!
On top of this DF and I had a lovely walk near us at the weekend with our little boy, and decided to get married this year!! We have been engaged since Xmas 2007, but with a baby in tow, and so much else going on have put it off time and time again, so we have now set a date for September this year!
Can't believe it, but also can't wait!
My stomach is in knots thinking of all the planning that's going on, and also a dress! I mean - white! I don't doooo white - I like black for comfort - so more weight will need to be coming off, but anyway! Slowly slowly!
I can't believe quite how much I have to do this year now...including my course!
I am going to be one very busy lady xx

Oh Claire, behave!!!!! 142lbs and feeling frumpy????? You look fabulous and you will be a beautiful bride. Congratulations xx
Yup, Lorrayne's right you know! x
Congratulations AM!! I read the posts backwards and kept scrolling up to find what you were being congratulated on - finally found it! How exciting! You will look amazing and don't stress about the planning. Make a list (and sub-lists if needed) and then tackle them one by one.
Well done on sticking to 1200 - I keep trying but failing at the moment - hoping to find my mojo again somewhere...if you have one going spare pls let me know.
