Alpaca's stream of consciousness - IS BACK ON THE WAGON!

[boggins]

Didn't want to double check the scales so have just taken them on first weighing as sometimes they go up again if I go back on ... They are rubbish and I have no idea why I bother with them really!! Lol

Yeah...umm...my home scales under-read by 5lb, but I get on them religiously, and just add 5lb to whatever they say. I could set them to start at 5lb over zero, and thus read the right weight, but I don't want to. I kind of like pretending I'm 5lb lighter than I am, even though I know I'm not. Plus, because they're so inaccurate, I have to weigh about 3 times and take an average. Lunacy. I feel like a right obsessive stepping on, off, adjusting it back to zero, back on again....what an idiot. I only weigh in "officially" once a week at Boots. I'd go nuts if I actually cared what my home scales say, it's so all over the shop. Still do it though. D'oh!

Tough old week for you, looks like. You've come so so far; I'm always amazed how you keep at it, you seem much calmer than me. It'll come right in the end, don't worry.

You made me chuckle boggins! Lol

I am happy basically cos I feel so much healthier, lighter, more energetic and no pain... So really and truly have more than enough to be thankful for!

Am just being greedy to also want the scales to go down as well!! Lol

Lunacy - that defines weight loss. What else would mess with our minds so much?

Morning Di......I'm finally catching up with everyone!!

It'll soon be gone, we all get slight stalls but it's Atkins and the woosh will come if you've stuck with it

You know that and I know that but we still beat ourselves up eh?!!!

Still a pound up from posted although 3lb down from highest over the last couple of weeks! I think balsamic vinegar stalls and makes me hungry - will add to my growing list of no no's... I never use it at home but I forgot to say no dressing yesterday and there was the smallest trace on the salad leaves...

Also, need to go back to volume control as I think that Is stopping me losing as well. I've been currently around 1500/1600 but I think I'll drop down to 1200/1300... That might be enough as well as stop coffee - or maybe limit to one a day

B - egg, mushroom, bacon, garlic, coffee, cream

Morning Di, have a good time at lunch. Calorie cycling works a treat x

 

[slaj]

Morning Di, I seem to be stalling too , it's so annoying isn't it ? Have a lovely day and enjoy lunch x

 

[triage999]

Morning beautiful......!

Do you know I am finding that if I have higher carbs on the weekend and bare minimum during the week I'm actually losing more....it's like a metabolism kick start....

Strange but true, and I've tried it over 6 weeks now losing about 6lbs....
