    Honestly I'm full of flu at the min and have no motivation to do anything :(

    Its so hard as the weather is turning now and everything. I'm trying but not succeeding. Given myself until end of October to get back in the zone.

    I'm carbing like you wouldn't beleive as i'm not well, As of today I am 21.00 up pre holiday its shocking

    OCT 19 = Day 13 of this crappy illness


    I am sorry to see that you have been so sick. I just wanted you to know how proud I am of you and how much I am inspired by your dedication and stamina! Even in the wake of illness and weight gain you have continued to post and keep accountable. Sometimes I just want to stick my head in the sand and hide, but yours is the winning attitude!

    Weight lost this week: well over 2lbs since last weighing, I'm thrilled to bits. Given that we did a lot of eating out and stuff. Guess the walking everywhere compensated nicely.

    @pizzafruit - Hang in there! I started work on improving my health and losing weight in mid-January. It then took several months to start actually losing weight. First I started eating better, more nutritious food. I did just that for a while. Next I had to get in the habit of measuring and logging food. After that was a solid habit (about 3 weeks), then I started working on eating at a deficit each week. And once I started that, the weight loss was not steady; I have had faster periods and slower periods. Keep working at taking action and improving habits, and you WILL get there!
    If it would help to get more support as you work on all this, I am a member of an MFP group that has daily checkins (how did you do today at keeping to your current plan for yourself re. food, water, exercise?) and very supportive conversation. Check it out and feel free to sign up if that kind of support would be helpful. (I am in it. I love this Challenge, and also love having the daily checkins with this group.)
