Hi - I've tried Vladimir in the past and lost lots in the short term but put lots back on later - so like you I'm making more subtle changes now and hoping the will become lifetime habits - enjoying your thread!Decided Not to do the vlcd as its not really a lifestyle change and that's what I need really, think I just jumped too that idea cos I was feeling cr@p! Back to the healthier eating/lower cals, had omelette for breakfast, soup and bread for lunch and am marinating chicken in yogurt and tandoori spices for homemade Indian chicken and savoury rice tonightand a wagon wheel for a treat tonight!

Yay just rejoined the gym signed the kids up too so they can use the creche and we can go swimming together whenever we fancy the gym is about a 5 minute walk from the house so I reckon the £62 pm is worth it just for the swimming (swimming at nearest council pool costs £8 admission, plus £4 travel plus around £5 on juice after etc which we can now just get at home so about £17 a time which is £68 pm, as we go once a week!) looking forward to it I'm so much better at keeping to a plan when I have scheduled workouts! Need to pull myself out of this dip I've gotten into, I feel like I'm mentally very up and down, things are either great or terrible, and just now I'm kinda the latter, which sucks, think a few things have just caught up on me n shook the front Ive been putting on lately well hopefully as the head stuff can negatively affect the body stuff, maybe improving the body stuff will impact positively on the head stuff lol!

I was on a total endorphin high the rest of the day lol, plus I'm really tired now so may finally get a good nights sleep!
Have seen a lot of people doing this 100 happy days hashtag on fb and *********, so I'm doing my own #100healthydays, posting a pic a day about my healthy eating stuff, and plan on not weighing until Day 100 to see the difference all helps with the motivation! If any of you wanna follow my ********* name is claireym87
Excited about being back in the mood to exercise. Mind you the rowing machine may well change that after a few workouts!

Thank you feeling good and satisfied with what I'm eating and can see a big difference in my skin in even three days!
I'm on Day 3 of my 100 healthy days what about you?
Food for today is
Brunch (had a Sunday lie in lol) - onion bagel with 2 poached eggs (omg so yummy!) and the leftover couscous from yesterday ( pleased as I previously would have eaten the whole lot in a oner but this time it's done me 3 servings and 1 for my son!)
Dinner - Linda McCartney sausages and patatas bravas made healthy by par boiling and roasting baby potatoes and homemade sauce of chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, onion, garlic and smoked paprika with a tbsp of olive oil
Have low fat yogurt and fruit for snacks
Looking forward to the gym tomorrow, do my programme, get a swim and a sauna after, can't beat it!!

Had a bit of a slip up last night but nothing major, had a bagel with cheese as well as the rest of my food, but I'm figuring one bagel even with cheese is nothing compared to the binges I'd been having lately! So all is good!
Plan for today -
Breakfast- 2x poached egg and a slice of batch loaf toast, plus home made juice.
Lunch- pasta with leftover tomato sauce.
Dinner- healthy homemade tandoori chicken and home made sweet potato and onion 'baaji' style cakes.
Snacks low fat yogurt and a bueno

your doing great :clap: seems like your in the zone. i love the buzz exercise gives you. i just wish i could go 100 days without weighing myself, it would be such a good feeling but i have gone from being a serial weigher to once a week.
hope your having a good day as for your slip up it was a little blip and we all deserve a little something every now and then
