I have had a very bad week with car problems and family problems, so came off the plan.
Not looking to start properly again until Monday. I am running this morning and Sunday, so didn't want to start the plan as I need lots of carbs to run longer distances. I will probably only do Skinny rules during the week and bulk up on carbs for my long runs at a w/e.
Fortunately I only gained a lb for a week off, so will soon make up for it!!

Still keen to keeping going with Bob's rules. I got slightly side tracked yesterday and feel a bit disappointed by this. I don't want to mess it up. Lesson learnt that I need to be more prepared and have back up foods just in case.
Have a good weekend!

Yep me too that first glass of water is hard, I have to set a reminder / alarm on my phone to remind me to have it or I get side tracked

Do you think it matters if the berries are frozen ?

It will shift. I must admit though any slight veering off from the 'rules' seem to make the difference. I had my splurge meal on Sat and didn't go mad funnily enough but I gained 2 pounds the next morning and my stomach was bloated. Back down again on the scales and the stomach. I sometimes forget some of the rules but it is still early days for me.
When you're on a diet where you are eating less than your body needs, you're also consuming fewer salts - and some of the big losses in the beginning can be attributed to loss of water alone.
Those few pounds are quickly "back on" again if you have a bigger meal or eat out - there's a number of reasons why your weight is never 100% the same.
For an accurate observation of weight change you do need a longer time frame - no need to stress out over a pound.

HI All,
Hope you been having a good week. Well, for me I managed to do a zumba class and I have retro groove tonight. I weighed in this morning and lost a pound. Was hoping for more but I have accept that a loss is a loss.
How is everyone?

That's great. I don't think we can always follow Bob but I guess as much as possible most of the time?
Anyway have a great weekend everyone! I'm going to Bintan in Indonesia for the weekend as it is my wedding anniversary tomorrow. Catch up in the week!
