Kingleds Food Diary - help needed!

[Ali*]

Well done on your cracking weight loss this week :clap:

I've hit a bit of a brick wall myself ... well more like the Berlin Wall actually

Interesting what you say about bananas ... I've been trying to chop and change my SW eating habits to try to shock my body into starting to lose a bit again but one thing I still have every day is a banana. Might just drop this for a week and see if it makes a difference

Do you think our bodies have got a bit used to this diet? We both seem to have started in January

Definitely think its a case of your body getting used to it - it gets used to expecting the same amount of calories every day & burns what it expects to get. I have been eating about 1700 cals a day, & eating alot if the same stuff. I've also been eating magic porridge most mornings.
I have been losing & gaining the same pound for the last 2 months hun - so frustrating.
This week, aside from the lack of bananas, i've replaced the porridge with all bran & i really concentrated on my portion control. Really simple thing but SO difficut to get right. My hubby would look at my plate & say is that it? Alot! But i just ate what was on my plate, & had seconds if i was still hungry. I only had seconds once.

Stick at it hun. You'll get there x

Yes, I've been thinking about my calorie intake (although I know we shouldn't ) and wondered if my body had got used to the same amount every week.

I feel a shake-up coming on!

Thank hun!

Did you WI yesterday Hun or have I missed something? xx

Oh yeah! i forgot that bit! STS - not too worried though cos i was off plan from thurs to sunday last week so i pretty much dodged a bullet i reckon.

You don't wanna know what i ate yesterday - lets just say i'll be sticking to 5 syns a day for the rest of the week to try & claw it back. Plus the gym 3 times this week.

 

[kingleds]

Oo - & have had loads of NSV's this week. Hubby said today that he couldn't believe how much thinner i waa now. Went to my old company (haven't been there for 8 months) & one of my old team took me to one side & asked me if i was okay cos i'd lost so much weight! He thought i might be ill. Another just wolf whistled me & stood up & clapped when i walked in!
I wore a short skirt (about 3 inches above my knee) to work the other day! And when i was at group yesterday 3 people commented on my dress & how it was nice to see me in colourful clothes.

 

[Mrs.S.]

Well done on STS! Always better than a gain! And fab NSV's!

Keep it up, and I'm sure you can claw back any damage that may have been caused! xx

 

[kingleds]

Going to have an options with a hifi light bar after dinner - thar will take me to 5 syns for the day.
