didn't make it to saturday weigh in either due to the snow.......... in the meantime i have fallen off the wagon big time!
I don't know whats wrong with me, I just can't seem to stick to plan. I wanted to have all of my weight gain gone from when I fell off the wagon at the end of the year but i still have 8 pounds to go. I've got a party on the 2nd which i wanted to look good for so i need to pull my socks up and get back onto plan. Its almost the end of january and I am stick heavier than what i wanted to be at this point.

Went to weigh in and faced the shame.... Half a pound gain! Oh well it could have been worse.
Anyway the diet offensive starts today!!! I have got all my food with me and all my meals planned for the next few days so no excuses. I just need to stop self sabotaging.
Onwards and downwards!

Day two of being back on plan, I known I've said this before but I always feel so much better when I am back on plan.... The difference a day makes.
Out with MIL tomorrow, said I would take her to a new fish and chip restaurant which has just opened. The plan is to get up and have a walk in the morning so that I have some calories banked for that. I haven't eaten any of my weekly points yet so I still have those to play with. I didn't want to use too many of them as I want a really good loss this week to make up for the last two rubbish weeks.

Here i am again, tail between my legs! I fell off the wagon big time and have spent the last two weeks stuffing my face and drinking wine!
Back on plan today though! Although i have been wearing my fitbit every day since i have got it i haven't been using the information it gives me. I do walk a lot Monday - friday and its useful knowing how many exercise cals I have 'banked' on MFP.
Summer is looming and I really want to get a good chunk of weight off and wear all my lovely summer clothes that I have.
Feeling very positive today, i wish I could bottle this feeling and be able to have it on those days when I am struggling.

Still feeling good!
Finished work early today and decided to do something I wanted to do before collecting my step kids. I was going to Charing Cross station and decided to detour via covent garden. They are doing the Great Egg Hunt - lots of artist painted eggs on display, had a good walk round. I was given a Lindt little bunny - only 60 cals.
It's payday which means a take away. My step son likes sweet and sour chicken but never eats the vegetables. I am going to have some plain boiled rice and sweet and sour vegetables - that should be ok. I'm going to pick the veggies out of the sauce rather than pour it on, less cals!

off the wagon AGAIN............
Don't know whats wrong with me, i just can't seem to stick to anything and feel totally out of control!
I have adjusted MFP and Minimins to show my weight as of 6am this morning. I am fasting today - well not totally, its the 5:2 fast diet. 2 days at 500 cals and the other days at 1850 cals.
Hopefully a bit of structure will do me good. I am yet to eat today, i have got myself a meal soup pot from Sainsburys, Its 232 cals, I am trying to hold out as long as I can to eat it otherwise I will be starving later on.
I think I will try and fast on Mondays and either Wednesday or Thursday. I have got myself into such bad habits of eating for the sake of it that i think i need to experience some real hunger to remind myself what it really feels like!

I've just read the book .. Did my 1st fast last Thursday .. Ended up at 700 cals but was ok will figure it out as I go on - am fasting today - mainly because I feel a bit crap.. It made a lot of sense to me

I'm still reading the book, i'm about a third of the way through.
I'm feeling ok at the moment. I am eating my soup now, it takes me ages to eat it as its so hot. Tonight will be the real test though. On the days that i am fasting i think OH will have to have a ready meal or something to chuck in the oven. I need as little time as possible in the kitchen!
let me know how you get on.

Quite pleased with myself, I've eaten a total of 502 calories today. I've got a bit of a headache but I'm sure that's because I haven't had any sugar.
I thought the fast day would be a lot harder but I haven't really felt that hungry. When I felt hungry I had a drink instead. My next fast day is Wednesday, I bet it will be a lot harder.

800 cals is still good, I got home about 2 hours before OH did yesterday which is my danger time. I normally snack and munch on things until he comes home from work. Instead I watched about 3 episodes back to back of the Biggest Loser - great motivation!
I am full of energy this morning, i don't know if thats because of yesterdays fast. I have bought my trainers to work with me so that I can go for a walk at lunchtime.
I am very tempted to try a proper fast, Stop eating by 8pm tonight and then don't have anything until tomorrow night at 8pm, i would then have my 500 cals in one meal. I am busy at work tomorrow and have got a few meetings which would tie me up so unable to eat. I'll see how I feel tomorrow, i'll make sure i don't eat past 8pm tonight and then see how i go.

Fast day today. So far so good, I've had about 110 cals today so far..
It was a normal day yesterday and I ate about 2000 cals. I won't be fasting now until Monday, it's honestly not been as bad as I thought it would be.
Looking forward to a nice meal when I get it and I will also have a few calories left for something yummy.

Well that's the second fast day nearly over, coming in at 498 cals today.
Looking forward to an up day tomorrow. When I did my up day yesterday I ended up snacking lots to try and use up my calories. The plan is to eat more calorific meals as I don't want to encourage myself to snack.

Up day today, to be honest I'm struggling to eat all my cals.
I weighed myself out some mini poppadoms to have with the Thai green curry I made for dinner and I only ate half and put the rest back in the bag - quite unheard of for me!
I jumped on the scales this morning, 4.5 pounds down since Monday. I'm sure it will be less than that come official weigh in on Saturday morning.
Still it has spurned me on, really feeling back in control!
Big test tomorrow, I am working from home so I need to make sure I don't snack or make bad food choices.

I am a happy girl this morning, official weigh in and I am 6 pounds lighter than Monday morning.
Just need to make sure I don't blow it over the weekend as I have a tendency to do! Every time I am tempted I need to think about all my lovely clothes that are too small for me and how much I want to fit into them.
