Tell me about it! Had a weekend of watching sport, drinking beer and coffee and loads of junk food like pizza. Size of a house on Monday. All back to normal now.

Except most scales in the UK are set to st and lb. So my scales would say I weigh 10st 7lb (or whatever). So for Brits we have to convert to lb or kg. I bought new scales that have an optional kg setting which I now use but never come across any that can do lb without st (not that I've looked very hard)

That's lovely. My partner and I don't celebrate Valentine's day. It also falls on Ash Wednesday this year so I'll be at church for a lot the evening and work in the day. Got to decide whether to give something up or take something up.

Congratulations on your loss.

My stats are pretty much the same as you. I'm 5'5". Started at 155 ish. Currently 146 or so. Aiming for 130-135. Took me since October to get here and didn't lose over the holidays. Started to stall a few weeks ago but staying motivated and upping the exercise. I have a different CICO approach and do it over a week rather…

Listen to your body. Eat what you need. I went for a walk today and had a snack when I got in. Hadn't planned it, but needed it.

My preference is a mild. But so difficult to get hold of. Otherwise a malty best bitter style ale.

I eat them back if I think I need them. Either if my body is craving them or I need them for recovery. I don't eat back my calories as a rule because I'm a hiker. I can burn 1500 in a day. And I can't eat those as well as my daily allowance (tdee is 1650 on a sedentary workday) in one meal. I tend to have breakfast, light…

I weigh my biscuits. I weigh mayonnaise too - my partner thinks I'm crazy but a teaspoon to me and a teaspoon to him is very different. It's not daily because I have different goals but if I'm measuring, I'm measuring everything.

I just try to eat at maintenance. Feels like loads because I've been eating at a deficit.
-
I hated SW. Only went for a month. To be fair I did lose initially but I hated being full of carbs, I felt terrible.
-
I usually weigh every other day. Like PP I know this can fluctuate and that's ok. Unfortunately there's a problem with our scale and haven't weighed for a week, it's been hard.
-
I had the same problem so upped my carbs a bit because without the cravings for carbs I couldn't face eating much at all. I'm still eating low-for-me carbs but fill up on fat and protein.
-
I am a walker too! Did my first 18 miler of the year yesterday. It's been a few months since I've done anything over about 10 and I ache today. Hoping to do a couple of day-long walks a month then, once the evenings get lighter, do a couple of shorter ones after work.

Sparkling water helped me lose weight (it meant I drank fewer fruit juices, soft drinks etc) so whilst the study is interesting I think it depends on where you're coming from.

I didn't go to the cocktail bar with my work colleagues after our Christmas party.

Massive fail yesterday. I didn't do any of what I set myself. Wine came out at lunch and didn't stop. Very disappointing. Nov 5 1 log all calories 2 stay under calorie goal 3 hydrate 4 listen to my body

THIS!

1.2kg / 2.5lb up on yesterday. Yeah right. But same as beginning of the week. I've not gained 1.2kg in a day just as I hadnt lost 1.2kg fat from Monday to yesterday. Slightly frustrating but hey, this is a long process! Daily weigh ins are a huge motivator for me. So long as the general trend is down I'm staying positive

Hopefully heaven has an open bar - a r lucas

@joan6630 it's one I learned from doing a 100km (62 mile) walk called the Cotswold Way Challenge. It took 31 hours, other than occasional food/toilet stops it's non stop. No sleep! I am exercise averse so this was a massive achievement for me. Anyway, both the challenge itself and the training were really helpful in…

Friday 3rd November: 1 log all calories✅ confession: I found the nutritional info for most of the restaurant meal I had but had to make an informed guess about the side. Not ideal but not going to punish myself over a few peas. 2 hydrate! ✅ 3 yoga sesson ❌ optimistic 4 try not to feel guilty about yesterday, today is a new…

I knew someone like this. Not weight, but equally inappropriate passive agressive digs about my sex life. Sorry you're having a rubbish time. And whilst I know it doesn't make it any easier the problem seems to be hers. Not yours. You're awesome.
-
No alcohol tonight. Had a latte. And decided to collect my partner from his night out later. So I can't drink even if I wanted to. Which I don't. Small but mighty victory.
-
I loooove cottage cheese. But it is definitely something I had to get used to. On crackers With apple sticks On a jacket potato I use it as a replacement for natural yoghurt, not in things but with nuts or on fruit etc As a salad addition on the side (like hummus) Wraps or sandwiches with chicken/salad etc In place of sour…

Technically decaf has caffeine in it too. It's better to consider it "reduced caffeine". As for reducing hunger I tend to drink water if I feel hungry. Can't say it always works but it's helping me get used to my body. What I used to think was hunger was really "I fancy <insert food here> because it tastes damn good"…

4 beers and a tequila last night. Justified it by saying it was for the departed / all souls day. Going out and not drinking is much harder than staying in... go figure...

New to this today! Had a great day yesterday before a few beers for the faithfully departed. Anyway. Goals for Friday 3rd November: 1 log all calories 2 hydrate! 3 yoga sesson 4 try not to feel guilty about yesterday, today is a new day! Will update tomorrow.
