Well done that's great. I'm happy for you xx
Wow, well done on your weekly loss and your loss to date! Very inspirational! x
Thanks Maria, that is very kind of you to say. I am trusting so much more in the plan and as long as I plan and count it works.
how are you doing?
You're welcome - I meant it every word of it.
My mind is in the right place but I have had a few setbacks. Since I started I have had an anniversary, my friend's boozy 50th birthday party away, two corporate events that I was expected to attend and really long hours where I couldn't be bothered cooking when I got home. My weight loss has not been as good as it could have been as a consequence. I am still motivated and just get annoyed when something that is slightly out of my control (eg corporate events) knock me out of kilter.
To me, perseverance is the key and my mindset is now "this is how I need to eat, 80-90% of the time, for life". I have proven to myself that despite having to wander off track, I will not gain weight as long as I get back to the new "normal". I see that as a good lesson to learn though.
It is very motivational to see that a few people I am following (yourself included) are losing weight on the plan too.

Hi Maria
you sound very focused which is good. I a couple of works events thus week and over the next few months and next weekend away with hubby and in my head I feel a bit panicky about them because of the food but I am telling myself this is for life and the will be events birthdays and dos test I attend and that is life as long as I am in control and don't eat and drink aimlessly I will be ok
it nis good to see people lose weight on a plan as I have done enough of them in the past.. This time I feel different. It is for me and this is the year I 'get it done'.
If if I think anything negatively in my head I change it to a positive and use words to myself like 'can' for exampe If I said to myself 'I am trying to lose weight' I change it to 'I am losing weight and I can do it' and if I find myself thinking I want to be a size 16 by xmas I change it to i will....it is all I my head the whole eating and living healthy as no one forced me to eat the way I did.
it is difficult and no one said it would be easy and this journey will take as long as it needs and step by step half a lb by half a lb we will get there

Omg I feel so full......I have been at a conference today and not a lot of control over food served
i had lasanga and tomatoes for lunch and cheesecake
for dinner I went to cafe rouge and had bread and then chicken, mash and herb wine sauce
i went well over my points and have had to guesstimate points for the day but I am glad I did some walking as I have no weeklies left and only 1 activity point left.
at the same conference tomorrow so no desserts and lattes can pass my lips...ha ha

well I did choose well but still managed to go over my dailies....brekkie was good and then lunch was braised beef in red wine with root veg, dessert was 5 meringues and cream...woops
tea was burger and a few chips and a slice of bread and ham
I have two days left this week and I am not at home on Saturday to weigh myself which is annoying I may take the scales with me to stay in control
Uh oh. I am now 14 points over my allowance. I wonder what that will do to my weight this week

on a positive in the past thud week I would have eaten tobe mire than I have done and I wouldn't have made good choices so I am proud of myself
