Back to 138! Great meals in the last few days: Friday was a kebab, stuffed crust pizza and cheesy chips all shared with my OH, Saturday two Burger King double cheeseburgers (one without the bun) and super large fries, and today was nachos with beef quesadillas. C25K going well! Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Thanks Kitty!

I surpassed my prediction of 138 by Monday - the scales this morning said 137.8! I was a bit worried that I'd be hungry again yesterday's OMAD was at about 2.30pm (we went to a Mexican restaurant with the chap's mum), but the nachos, beef quesadillas, coleslaw and beer filled me up nicely for the day. I got a bit peckish about 9pm but realised it was because I just 'wanted something' so I had a cup of tea which was lovely and satisfying.

Tonight we are having macaroni cheese made with a combo of Applewood smoked and normal Cheddar, and I am really looking forward to not freaking out about the calorie count - in the past I have struggled with fitting macaroni cheese into my daily calories, but this time I can have my full portion without getting stressed. I think OMAD is a foodie's dream!

@Lipka1le good luck with starting c25k, you'll love it! My biggest piece of advice would be to take it slow and steady - you can always focus on increasing speed once you have the endurance down.

@blambo61 eight minutes continuous is great! Thank you

The weekend went fairly well, lots of sodium though. Friday night was takeaway pizza and cheesy chips, it was great but I ended up eating less of it than I usually do and coming in under maintenance (unusual for me to manage that on a treat meal!). Saturday we walked to the museum instead of going swimming, had scones with cream and jam at the cafe while we were there then had Chinese takeaway in the evening. Didn't finish either meal and came in under maintenance (as far as I could estimate accurately) that day too. Yesterday's OMAD was a huge plate of curry and rice with mini bhajis, samosas, pakoras and half a naan. Jogged for 28 minutes (that's the most I've done so far) and stayed well under my calories.

Up .4 on the scale today - I'm assuming that's weekend water weight, if not it'll be gone soon enough anyway. We're going to Pizza Express tonight, I'm planning to have a Diavolo Romana for just under 1000 calories although I'm tempted by the American Hottest with n'duja sausage for 1200... Will probably have some wine too. Rest day from C25K today but I really want to run! Will stick to dashing around the house tidying up.

Cheers all, have a good day.

Still been having OMAD plus a snack, finished Couch to 5 K today! Ran 5 K in less than 30 minutes so I'm chuffed. Seem to be up and down around the same pound at the moment but I did up my running speed from 4.5 to 6.1 for the last two runs so have been working muscles a lot harder and I think that TOM may be coming up so I'm hoping that there's some water weight waiting to drop off at some point. Just got to stick with the programme Dinner tonight will be Nando's before we go to see Deadpool!

Thanks all! Now the challenge is to make sure I keep on with running every other day. Should be fairly easy as I'm firmly addicted now!

Dinner last night was excellent, I meant to take a photo but forgot - butterfly chicken with a hot marinade, peri peri chips, spicy rice, a quarter avocado and small slice of halloumi. Tonight I think we're doing steak and chips.
