Back on the Wagon!

Really need to get back on the wagon. Need to stop my cereal habit and my bread & butter addiction!!1
-
I lost the weight I needed to lose, but I continue to weigh myself every single morning.
So every now and then when I have that big weekend with a party or a wedding or some other event where I eat way too much and drink too much, lo and behold I've gained two or three pounds.
No big deal. I just go back to doing what I was doing, and the two or three pounds are gone in a week.
I'm not saying just because it's easy for me it should be easy for everyone. But it's easy for me.2 -
We can do it! Add me. Ready for fit & healthy0

Welcome to the wagon!
Wouldn't it be nice if we could be addicted to carrots and veggies!

Had to make a quick sandwich for lunch, and decided to make a peanut butter and banana sandwich.... My daughter was disgusted... But it was actually tasty and filling. Wonderfully weird!1

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me jumping on your bandwagon! ! It took me a year to lose just over 30lbs. ..guess what I put 14 back on! ! I need support I'm feeling pretty useless about it. I bought new scales to weigh myself each week. I. ..I'm a 48 year old female from the uk...I'm 5ft and 144lbs! ! Hope you don't mind me joining. .you seem like a nice group. .

I've heard nothing but good things about this combination! One day, when I have that many calories free, I'd love to try it. (My partner also likes peanut butter with sultanas or currants, although I think that's possibly better suited to celery than bread.)1 -

You can do it! The scales will help, and this group is so supportive it's great. (Tiny people solidarity! I'm from the UK, 5'2" with low metabolism and muscle mass, so I know what it's like not to be allowed to eat much...)1 -
Welcome Dawniemate! Like Jeyradan said, were a fun supportive group that loves people from the UK. Check out the past posts from Louisepaul16. You'll see pictures of the amazing tea she went to.

Having car issues this week.
I will not stress eat, I will clean it up so we can trade it in.

Lowest weights yet for me and my partner! Hopefully this is a trend (or at least a lasting situation), rather than just a hiccup in the plateau we've been on for the past two months...
This weekend will be a tough one, because we are doing a fair bit of physical activity, but we also have a couple of unavoidable food-related events scheduled that may cost us dearly in calories. I've saved up a bit of a deficit over the past few days so that I don't worry too much (my goal is to be over 1,000 in deficit at the end of today), but wish me luck - I'll need it.
Edit: 1,000 total deficit... not just from today... I'd have to go without food entirely!0 -

Way to go Jey!1 -
Late night snacking is my nemesis!
Time to take back control of it!0 -
Well, I just ate a whole loaf of bread, with butter and bacon. Urgh. It's been a while since I have felt the feeling of needing to binge creeping up, to the point I have given into it. Yes I have over eaten a few times recently, but they have been planned (like last weekend!) but tonight was a return of the binge monster. Urgh. Ok, well never mind. It's done now. I didn't go baxk to the shop to buy chips which I was definitely considering!!!
On another note, it is so warm where I am. It's 29 degrees indoors (84F for all you Americans!) in my apartment currently. And nearly 90 outside, which is good, I just don't know how I will sleep if it doesn't cool down! Haha.0 -

It's crazy hot here in Michigan, too! Mid 80's, and it's going to hit 90 this weekend. I'm working outside this entire weekend, so I'm feeling your pain, Louise!
Regarding your binge.... Just log it, acknowledge it, remember how it made you feel, and move forward. No sense dwelling on it. Then go somewhere cool where you can take a walk.
We've been there too.

I know how you feel. I just ate a pastry and a half I wasn't planning on having from French bakery stall at our local market. (Where, ironically, I only went for fresh, healthy vegetables...) I haven't even counted tonight's dinner in my log yet and I'm already over my calories for the day.
On the bright side, your bacon sandwiches were probably amazing. So enjoy that, log it, move on, and don't do it again tomorrow! The nice part of the projection where it says, "if you ate like this every day, you'd weigh... in five weeks" is that you won't eat like that every day. You'll do great now!2 -
Have a great Saturday!

This was the tea that we got and had champagne as well. Far too good not to eat!!
Oh my goodness, that looks delicious! Do you live in the UK? I had treats like that when I visited family in London a couple years ago. I live in Charleston, SC. We just don't have that type of yumminess here.0 -
I'm from the U.K., but I live in Switzerland and this was in a 5 star hotel in Geneva.katandwaves wrote: »louisepaul16 wrote: »

We all have off days... But as long as we log them and move forward... We're good!
This is not a diet, but a lifestyle change. 0 -
Ridiculous weekend - events both days and loads of calories. I sympathize with where you guys are coming from!
The good news: I'd saved up a deficit over the week so that I could try to balance out the weekend. The bad news: it wasn't enough, so I've got to make up the remainder over the next couple of days.
Mini-goals for this week:
- Bring my overall calories back into the green by the end of Tuesday.
- Achieve a daily deficit every day except for Saturday (major "event" day).
- Achieve an overall deficit for the week.
- At least 30 minutes of exercise every day.
Mini-goal for tomorrow:
- Resist the temptation to partake of all of the crazy treats I have baked for a co-worker's birthday (salted caramel cookie dough brownies topped with chocolate and almonds; individual berry cobblers with whipped cream). The worst will be cutting the brownies and heating up the cobblers so that I have to see them and smell them while knowing I can't have them... MUST STAY STRONG.
I don't expect the numbers on the scale to have gone down this Friday, but as long as they haven't gone up, I'll consider it a win.1 -

Weekends can definitely be rediculous! I am also glad I maintained. There is something to say about getting back to healthy routine eating.1 -
Nighttime snacking is my nemesis. When I'm making lunches for the next day, or cleaning up the kitchen, I find myself hitting the potato chips!!
I think my plan now is to work in the kitchen earlier, and drink a mason jar full of water, so I'm not so snacky!!
Self-sabotage sucks, but I will not let it beat me!!
