The 'I start a diet every January,this year I'm sticking to it' Thread

[kizzyt]

hey ladies, mind if I join you? I am back on my healthy eating plan from today I use myfitnesspal as a food/exercise diary, its really good, you log everything you eat and drink plus all the exercise you do and it really helped me to see that little things I was eating and thinking nothing of were really adding up!!

I lost 15lb between Aug - Sep then got my BFP so relaxed on it but only put on 1lb (prob helped by not drinking) and sadly I lost my bubba at 8wks I was comfort eating after that, then went on an all inclusive holiday, then Xmas etc so I woke up yesterday and decided I have to get back on it so here I am. I have kept 7lb off from the original 15 so my goal for now is to lose the other 8 again this month. then I'll see from there.

I am heavy, always have been (rather not say what I weigh) but I work out/exercise about 4 times per week and always have done really, so I am pretty solid/muscular and dont have a lot of flab but my face puts weight on really easily and I hate seeing pics of myself like that!

Tuesday's my weigh day but is it ok to still record in here, for motivation?

thanks ladies xxx

I feel like I've dropped water weight already, and am only two days in. I was feeling so bloated last week and feeling much better now

 

[CRWx]

[Avalanche]

I've eaten quite a bit today. Breakfast I had porridge. Lunch I had a cheese sandwich, crisps and Ski Yoghurt. Dinner I had pasta bolagnese with cheese and salad. I'm not used to having 3 full meals a day, usually I would skip breakfast or lunch. But I feel so much better for it. The last few days I have been right on top of my housework rather than sitting about looking at it and sighing knowing I'll have to get up and do it

 

[Avalanche]

so hungry I am gulping down the water!

Just making beans on brown toast for dinner as I have sod all else in the house

 

[Avalanche]

couldn't even finish beans on toast as I drank 2 pints of water before having it. Oh dear

Just had a sneaky midweek weigh in, and I'm now 13st3, which.is 5 lbs off I'm so happy... Today is only day 4. It's official, SW is the best diet ever hubby got paid today so I'm gunna reward myself with a long walk in town, a spot of shopping, and a jacket potato for lunch!

 

[Blah11]

^ Thanks, it's so exciting!


So, had a night from hell with Amelie waking up constantly so I was doing a lot of thinking. (I also weighed in heavier than expected this morning ).


My Goal
Lose 25-30lbs to feel happier and more comfortable with my body and most importantly to be and feel healthy.

My Rules
- Drink a tall glass of water 10 minutes before each meal and drink a 500ml bottle inbetween meals.
- Only eat when HUNGRY. Don't eat just because it's 1pm and therefore lunchtime.
- Limit carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes and bread) to one (no more than 2!) servings a day and they must be eaten before 7pm but preferably earlier on in the day.
- Walk as much as possible. Get the earlier bus from home and instead of catching a 2nd bus, walk the rest of the way.
- Wean off diet coke. Start with 1 glass or 1 can per day and replace with green tea or water.
- No weighing everyday! Once a week only.

Mini-goal Rewards
-5lbs = Eyebrows threaded (they're really bad LOL hope I make this goal in the next week)
-10lbs = Thomas Sabo charm
-15lbs = £50 to spend in MAC
-20lbs = Get that fish foot treatment thing LOL
-25lbs = Another charm
-30lbs = £50 to spend in MAC

 

[Jellycat]

Blah loving your mini rewards, I might try and think of a few fir myself

Had good day again yesterday just not sure what to have today for food or what to do with myself. I've got a long lust if house things to do like sort out paperwork but nothing interests me

 

[topsy]

Morning

Kayleigh&bump-well done on the 5lbs loss I have heard good things about slimming world.Enjoy your walk and jacket pot.

Blah11-I love your mini goals, I might do some of them in the hope to keep me motivated. Hope your 1st day is going well

jellycat-I hate sorting out paperwork, always put it off and find better things to do, like come on here Hop sort your food out for today hun.

I also had a sneaky midweek weigh in 3.8lbs loss since sat I had a splitting headache yesterday evening, prob cause of lack of caffeine, i have had 1/2 glass of diet coke and 1 decaf coffee since then!!!
