Holly's 19.5lbs to Target Diary <3

[HollyHearts<3]

Ok so my action points are:

• Get off a tube stop earlier and walk to work from there
• Go for a walk at lunch every day (minimum 15 mins)
• Count down from my syns, 70 syns aim, 35 emergency syns!
• Write in my food diary at the weekend, don't ignore it!
• If i'm at my boyfriends, to take a stash of bachelors pasta and rice/slimming world friendly snacks

Aiming for a 2lb loss this week. I don't ever want another disappointment of seeing the scales go up *again.


*unless it's my TOTM/birthday/anniversary/Christmas...haha!

Yum, they're 3 of my favourite fruits - don't have them as often as I'd like though as I'm too lazy to cut up the pineapple & mango!

I'm lazy too so I always get the snack pack things from Tesco/M&S! Especially when they're reduced.

Whenever I try and cut a mango I only ever really get 4 cubes from it! Rubbish.

Glad I'm not the only one then! Mangos drive me nuts, I can never figure out how people ever manage to get around the stone & cut them properly. Snack packs sound like a good call instead of all that hassle!

I'm getting really disheartened for some reason and just don't think i'm going to get a good loss this week and it's only Wednesday!

I'm already thinking about moving to weightwatchers but I know I won't like it over there! Really hope I get a loss this week because I felt really down about the 1lb I put on.

Just to let you know also that any exercise I put down on here is EXTRA exercise that I wouldn't usually have done. I do quite a bit of walking throughout the day at work and to work but the exercise on my food diary is any extra

Sorry to hear that Holly. We all get days like that where we just feel fed up with it all. I'm sure if you are sticking to plan & exercising, you will lose this week, so try not to get disappointed before you've even had your WI. I'm the worst for letting the scales dictate my mood so I understand how you feel, but I'm really *trying* (not always succeeding!) to get over that & to focus on the positives. You have lost half a stone which is great, and if you keep going you will get to target! Maybe rather than thinking about the scales this week, you could just focus on trying to stick to plan 100% each day? Might give you something else to motivate you rather than just thinking about the scales all week. And just come on here for support any time you are feeling disheartened! Wishing you lots of luck for the rest of the week x

Thank you, that's helped alot actually! I have 2 scales and i'm going to bin one of them because I keep comparing my weight on them both for absolutely no reason at all and whatever numbers come up I get really down about it. I do feel slimmer so I suppose thats the main thing! xx

Hi Holly,

Just popping by to say I have subscribed to your food diary I am trying to start my own but I do not know mini-mins at all!! I did start a thread but god knows where it went when i clicked post thread or something. Anyways, your food diaries look good, don't go to WW (wash your mouth out with soap!!) lol, you would regret it, your losses have been fantastic! I am a serial SW-er and this is absolutely definitely 100% my last time re-starting it! Keep it up, you know its working xx

 

[honeypop]

Hey holly!!! Thought I would follow ur food diary!! Ur doing amazing and will get to 10 stone in no time. Don't give up and head to weight watchers. Because it so close to target like me then the weight will be slower coming off but it will still come off. 2lbs is amazing. I think I've gained half a lb this week

Lol
