just saying hi x I went seriously off the rails for about a week and am just getting back on having tracked today and yesterday. I just thought I would be able to stick to this challenge no problem and now I wonder if I ever will - it's all in the mindset isn't it. I am trying to work out what I can learn from recent derailment 1. I tried to restrict more and more as the days went by. 2 I focused too much on the total calories for the day number. 3. i started eating more and more junk so my body got hungry from poor nutrition 4. and the results I saw were not not quick enough. But there is no where else to go. I've tried every "diet" and I've also tried not dieting. I can't face either of those again. so I.am going to get back to.tracking and exercising but without calorie limits till end of may as paradoxically when I don't restrict I eat less. Even though I am far out of the winners circle I will still be pleased for all who make it and I'll be checking that list out x best wishes all x

1. You only derailed for a week. You realized that you have derailed and came back. Kudos to you !
2. You were able to identify some lessons learned during this derailment! Good job!
3. You noticed, you were discouraged from the scale results. The scale does not always shine light on all your transformations.
4. You also noticed that "dieting" does not work. We have all come to that conclusion one time or the other.
