Sian's 2015 restart - time to shift the weight once and for all!

Hi Sian, so glad to read that things seem to be going really well for your Dad, long may it continue. You've done so well to stick to SW this week with all that's going on, your food diaries look really good! xxx
 
Re: Sian's restart diary - third time lucky! :-D

Evening ladies! Wow, I'm pooped! Stayed behind after work today and did 2.5 hours of marking. Still got another 3 sets of books to mark though over the weekend :(

On a brighter note however...my dad's home from the hospital!!!!! My brother and mum brought him back with them today!! :D:D:D I'm so happy!

Weigh in in the morning...scales don't look very good. I'm going to be so fed up if it's a gain as I've had a bloomin fantastic week, even if I do say so myself! :(

Xxx
 
Re: Sian's restart diary - third time lucky! :-D

So pleased your dad is back at home hun... There's a few people who have been so good this week and gained... No idea what's going on!! Will have everything crossed for you though.... What a lot of marking :eek:
 
Re: Sian's restart diary - third time lucky! :-D

Morning ladies! I gained 1lb again this week. I'm really fed up now...I've had a really good week and I still gain weight. I don't know why I bother really! When I have worse weeks I will lose weight but when I'm an angel I put on weight. Grrr!! So frustrating! :(:( xx
 
Hugs Sian x

It's really frustrating, and I don't know what to suggest.

Have you tried putting two food diaries next to each other? A week where you've had a good loss and a week where you haven't? You may be not having something on those good weeks? Or have extra superfree on not so good weeks knowing you'll have a meal or 2 off plan?

The only other thing I would suggest is maybe tracking your cycle for a while?

What are you eating on weigh days? Any blowout or anything like that that could be hindering? xx
 
Re: Sian's restart diary - third time lucky! :-D

There's some really good ideas there hun. I weigh first thing on a Friday, so I try to make sure I don't eat that much on a Thursday evening. Other than that my meals are pretty normal on a Thursday. I try not to eat things that are really salty for lunch on a Thursday either just in case. I have a feeling it might be my cycle that's causing issues this week, but I guess I'll find out soon enough! :)

I guess all we can do is keep plodding on! Xx
 
Oh Sian, that's a bugger, especially after having such a good week. I suspect it might be stress-related though, after all you've been through with your Dad - our bodies have funny ways of reacting to stress, one of which is to hang on to every last morsel, just in case the stress is related to not having enough food. So don't despair - you've been really good this week and it will show at some point!

So glad that your Dad's home from the hospital, hope he continues to recover well. xxx

My food's a bit samey today, but my dad's stomach isn't very good because of the steroids he's on so he only fancies quite plain food. Hence the chicken and baked potato again, lol!
 
Re: Sian's restart diary - third time lucky! :-D

Hmmm...way too many alcohol syns last night. Bruised and battered knees (slipped on the stupid floor twice! :eek:) and less than 3 hours sleep. I can't wait to go back to bed! :rolleyes:
 
Re: Sian's restart diary - third time lucky! :-D

Oh no!!! Sounds like you had a bad night hun :( Or a good night up until the lack of sleep, lol! I love cocktails...they feel so naughty, but really they've got hardly any alcohol in them! I on the other hand had far too much vodka, danced like an idiot to all manner of rubbish, fell over twice, and insisted on having some 'issues' out with a guy who likes me but is too much of a bloomin pain in the arse to do anything about it. All in all an eventful night! :eek: xx
