A Noob with a View...

Hi all!

Just wondering if anyone's around to help me out... As well as documenting my food on MFP, I've also started a WordPress blog. I'm hoping to put up a post a day to keep me accountable but above all, to keep me focused! I've been going on DIet Chef for just over a month now but I'm yo-yoing between losing a net of 7lb to just over 1lb because I keep having the odd 'weekend off'. I can't keep doing it so I'm thinking the more people I know who're keeping an eye on me, the more egg on my face if I slip up!

If you get a spare moment for a look and a comment, I'd really appreciate the support :)

Thanks folks!

Keep fit! :)

  • It might be helpful to set certain off-day goals. For me, I have to go hard and intense about it to match my mentality for other things. I decided if I could put the same obsessive behavior I have for completing games 100% to weight loss, it would help me and it has, so I waited 30 days before a cheat, had one day unrestricted, then reset the clock and I'm 48 days into what will be a 62 day stretch!

    Consider what kind of personality you have and plan to suit that! You'll keep progressing.

    I'll do that... my thing is that some sort of fecal matter will hit the fan and then I just completely lose it. Pizza. Pizza galore. Congrats on your stretch! I might give that a go. I think it's easier when you can actually see that glorious cheesey slice only 30 rabbity days away... :glasses:

    XD my real weakness is pancakes man. Pancakes and really ****ty chinese food drowned in sriracha, but I haven't had either a single time in 2014 so far haha. The goal really does give me something to look forward to. On my next cheat I'm buying a bottle of single Barrel bourbon and I'm going to have myself a nice drink, a big meal, and I'm going to spend the time with food, friends, and wine, that kind of thing. I like to make an event out of it and since I go so long between cheats, it's a cheat DAY not a cheat meal XD

    Holy ****, I forgot about pancakes... :'(

    I like the idea of a whole cheat day. EAT ALL THE DELICIOUS THINGS.
