Life begins at 40, maintaining with SW for Life -Green days & some EE/Red photos inc

Good for you. Not sure, I was down another 1/2lb this morning making me 10.2.... I really love this way of eating, I've always known that grains/carbs weren't my friend so limiting them was the best way for me to get to target weight. I've got to be careful not to be below 10.2 at weigh in.
Did you weigh this morning?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yes I weighed this morning and I was down about 0.5lb which is better then up 1lb the other day !

But just realised it is one of my very rare TOTM (star week) so that might impact things a bit. Not much as I don't get big weight swings like a lot of women do since it only happens about 4 times a year.

If you do weigh under you have a weeks grace to put on weight or just get weighed in shoes or a cardigan if you are worried.

That is what I am going to do

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I can pile some extras on!! I'm certainly going to continue to eat this way but won't sign up for the challenge. I'm sure you'll continue to drop down the scale by sticking to it too.

I have a long way to go before I need to worry about piling on clothes as I was slap bang on target on Tuesday so I have 3lbs to lose as it stands at the moment

Hi Jaffa

How are you? Hope you feeling better.

Your food looks great as always. It sounds like you are enjoying your new challenge it sounds very hard though I think I need to get to doing the EE diet before I start any challenge.

Well today has been off challenge as we very unexpectedly went out for a pub lunch.

The main was fine 3 quorn sausages with mash a bit of gravy carrots and 2 mini yorkshire puddings.

It was the two desserts we shared which was the killer !

 

[janetelizabeth]

I think you're allowed off plan days Jaffa? Yummy desserts...Mmmm!! At least the main was a good one.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Yep you are allowed one day off a week. I doubt we will eat much for the rest of the day as we are both still too full !!

 

[janetelizabeth]

That's right, it was just one meal out of three. :clap:

Today

2 peaches and 3 plums.

Meal out 3 quorn sausages mash carrots 2 mini yorkshire puddings gravy
2 desserts shared with my husband apple crumble and cherry pie both with custard

2 nutrigrain biscuits and a chocolate wafer

Mmmmmmmmm

 

[janetelizabeth]

Looks like you made a big allowance for the meal out...I'm sure it'll all equal out on the scale.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

The sausage and mash was probably about the same I would have at home. It was the dessert which was the killer.

But considering I have been restricting my syns all week I probably had enough to cover it.

 

[janetelizabeth]

True...we just do our best, there is a life outside SW!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I agree I live to eat and I enjoy my food eating out is part of my life.

As I said on the salad challenge thread OMG OMG OMG I had to check the scales 5 times as I have lost 2lbs since last Monday and I am in a different kg a number I haven't seen for 6 years.

Now to see what the official SW scales say tomorrow and what next Monday says as I am doing it for another week

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I can't wait to see the official SW scales tomorrow.

I have struggled with my weight since I was about 10 or 11 and I have gained and lost the same three stone on and off for years but I haven't been this low since before I got very ill and I was calorie counting and working out in the gym for 3 hours most nights. I need to lose another 6lbs or so to get that low but the weight I saw this morning was the top end of my lowest weight.

 

[janetelizabeth]

How exciting to be down 2lb....I hope you have a good weigh in tomorrow too Jaffa....you certainly worked for it!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I hope so too !!

I have been off today and I managed the gym for a change plus a walk this evening.

I did the treadmill and then machine weights
