Purplebint's Diary

thank you Purplebint Ill keep that in mind - sorry for asking the same question. I do try and search but end up getting a bit lost.....Ill get the hang of it soon hopefully
 
I think as long as you stick to the 1/3 superfree rule, and only eat till you're full, then it doesn't really matter on the plate size for most people. I really am a plate emptier though so try and restrict my portions a little :)

I'm hoping it's just a reaction to me upping the exercise and adding in the swimming and stuff, I've lost a dress size so I know it's coming off. It's just infuriating to keep blipping about the same couple of pounds. I miss getting shiny stickers :(

:bighug:Onwards and downwards hun! May not even be a true gain. I was just saying on another thread when I first started the shred I gained two pounds on weigh day. I was so despondent the day after I weighed again. GONE. I had STS. You go to class don't you? I'll bet by the time you go next week...GONE. Hang in there. You have done SO well. Don't get the blues. It's happened before too, whenever I change my exercise I STS (normally) but then the scales catch up. It's not ALL about them remember. It's what you look and feel like too.
 
I am feeling a bit better about it. I am very motivated by the shiny stickers though, so not getting them makes me grumpy ;)
