Back to Basics to Loose the Last Few Pounds!

[fairyella]

Wow! You've done amazingly well!

I'm finding your diary really inspiring, especially as I am the same height as you. I would love to be in the 9's and would love even more to be in the 8's!! Think I will be copying some of your green days (I'm veggie) as I can get very repetative with mine,lol!

A big well done to you, you must feel great! Sarah x

Anyway, I weighed myself yesterday and I'd gone up to 9 stone 4 (was 8 stone 9 when I went)!

Ah well, I was greedy, so I deserve the gain lol!

Sooooooooooooooo, haven't updated for a wee while!

Went to WI last Tuesday, I'd gone up to 9 stone 9! OMG, so much for getting back on it straight after my hols!

Well, anyway, I've been good this week (except a chocolate binge on Friday night) so hoping for a good loss on Tuesday. I'll start re-doing my food diary from then.

Got a few weddings and birthdays coming up, so I want to be back in the 8's ready for them.

Hey good to see u back! Did u have a good hols? I'm in turkey at the moment and loving being away but also worrying about putting weight on - how daft is that?!?

 

[charlotte1985]

I was worried about gaining before I went, and for the first few days of being away, but then that went out the window...ah well, I guess I earned the break (from plan and England).

So anyway, WI today...lost 4 lbs! So now 9 stone 5, 2 lbs off the top end of my target, 5 lbs off my actual target. I'm not thinking about any more than loosing the 2lbs for now.

Hope you're having a fab time in Turkey anyway xx
