Had a terrible food day yesterday! Ate until I ached! *Ashamed* :break_diet::break_diet:

Anyway, we did the sports relief mile today, and then I've just been out for a walk/jog. Hopefully, I'll look back at this in a few months, and be able to do full jogs!

Anyway, I've got my weigh in tomorrow. I think it might be a gain. I don't think using my syns works for me, so at least my experiement has shown something!

Tomorrow is number 6 weigh in until my hols. I'd like to loose as much as i can before i go, but at the same time, i crumble under pressure and I'll end up holding up thorntons or something!

So...expecting a gain or sts tomorrow, hoping for the next 6 weeks to either loose 1lb or sts each week - NO GAINS ALLOWED!

Tried extra easy today...think it went well, might try mixing up the days abit. I miss the extra A's and B's too much!

So tomorrow is day 1 of 37 till my hols. I wonder if I can be 100% on plan till then?

Hi Charlotte, how you getting on this week? Sounds like you're super focused til hols. Whats your target now? Xx

I want to get as low as I can for my holidays. Iam dreading coming back with a huge gain! I can control try to my food, eating salads and meat, but I know I'll be drinking all day and night!

I'm back to 9 stone 1, gained 1lb this week, but I'm hoping to drop 2lbs by next Tues, making me 8 stone 13. Just gotta stay on track!

 

[Whitey27]

Ahh I know how u feel - im off to the us with work soon and I'm really dreading a gain too but you know you know how to lose it if you do gain. Just feels like a constant battle which does get me down. Well done for getting right back on track though - it's too easy just to think sod it and fall off the wagon xx

Tuesday 3rd April - GREEN

Today is very exciting! I had WI! Lost 2lbs! Iam now 8 stone 13. I actually can't believe it! I dont know when i last weighed this. My husband is hinting that I need to stop, but I don't know if I want to yet. I need to try and get my head around maintaining I guess, I should try an extra HEA or B, but I can't help but syn them. I've also decided to give up chocolate for April (started on 31st March) because of my all or nothing attitude to chocolate.

I know I should be proud of how far I've come, but I suppose I still see the old me in a way, and cant get used to how I look now. There's also the fear of gaining weight which will inevitably come with trying to maintain!

Anyway, ate loads today to celebrate (ha)
