Day 154

So after last week big high of losing unexpectedly, I have now put on 1.5lbs. I am really disappointed cos I was good with meals this week however I was a bit naughty but no more than usual to be honest. I'm now 2.5lbs away from my 3 stone. Every week it seems like I lose a lot i.e. more than 2lbs, then put on 2lbs, then lose it, then put on etc... I haven't had a consistent loss for a while now. Always up and down.

Here is my diagram of what my losses have been like in the past month.

So in effect, I have basically only lost 2.5lbs in 1 month. It has really set me back. It's not good for my body to be up and down like that. I honestly thought I was going to lose.

I'm wondering if being on your period affects it? I got my period a few hours before weigh in, my period was a few days late, so I'm wondering if all that bulk is affecting the scales?

I must aim to get 2.5lbs off next week. I will not gain or maintain. I have to get it. I will make it my mission to do more exercise this week plus swimming. Hopefully the ball I'm going to on Sat doesn't offer me too much temptation. I shall have to resist.

Day 148

Massive massive shock in WI class tonight. I lose 3.5lbs somehow which now means I am in the 13 stone bracket and 1lb away from my 3 stone award! I can't believe it. I honestly was really naughty all week. But I hope it doesn't show up next week so I am going to stick to plan and aim for that 1lb so I can get my shiny new sticker award!!!

I am thrilled with my weight loss. Got loads of comments over the weekend saying that I look really well and two people have actually said I am thin! I have never been called that in my life!!! I am now 13stone 12lbs on the 7th June. I need another 1st 12lbs to reach my interim of 12 stone before I go any further. If I average 1.5lbs a week, I can be 12 stone by 4th September.

My first goal date is 11th November so I won't be disheartened cos I know I'm bound to gain or not lose 1.5lbs every week til then. Some weeks could be 4lbs, some could be 1lbs or STS. I just have to keep it up.

I WILL BE THIN!!!

Day 143

FOOOO!!!

I have gone way overboard on my syns in the past 2 days. Had 30 odd yesterday and today, well probably about 40! :( I'm not doing well this week at all. I need my mojo back :(

Going to make Lemon and Garlic Chicken with a Warm Potato Salad tomorrow to see if that gets me going again. In fact I think I'll have some toast and egg right now instead of crisps!!! Will try have an orange or so now!

Day 141

Well big fat meh! It's June 1st and I wanted to lose 3 stone by then but unfortunately I have failed! Instead of losing the 2.5lbs I needed, I put on 2lbs! Which brings me 4.5lbs away from my 3 stone award! In all fairness, I knew where it came from. Here is the dinners I've had this week!

Wed 25th -  Potato Waffles & Sausage Rolls
Thurs 26th - Veg Stir Fry (free)
Fri 27th - Mexican Fajitas & wine
Sat 28th - Large bag of chips and fajitas and some Vodkas
Sun 29th - Roast Dinner (almost free)
Mon 30th - 2 slices of Dominos Pizza with Garlic Bread (full portion)
Tues 31st - Wine & loads of crisps and double helpings of HEX A and B.

I've hardly cooked dinner in ages, so I just have to face the truth and get stuck into it this week. This weekend is a bank holiday though, so hoping to try and eat in as much as possible and not get caught out. I will definitely have time to make dinner for myself on Thurs, Fri, Sat, Mon and Tues. Sunday I'm out all day from 4pm or so, and there's a BBQ on offer, so I'll be enjoying myself on Sunday having a burger and a few beers. Will try and stick to non-alcoholic drinks i.e. water and Diet 7up or something,

So I've to rethink my goals....

Mini Goals

• 14th June: Achieve 3 stone award (4.5lbs to go; 2.5lbs average a week)
• 4th July: Be 13.5 stone (9lbs to go; average 1.5lbs a week)
