Week 3 weigh in 177.2 - up 0.2lbs Not surprising p, eatings been all over the place for the last two days, I get clusters of migraines so it's been eat when I can. Will carry on, sorry I haven't caught up with everyones diaries yet as have been a bit laid up. Hope everyones doing well!

Ok so it's been better over the last few days, bit easier and I feel a bit happier and more settled. I hit up victorias secrets and got some lovely comfy bras (nothing ruins my mood more than an uncomfy bra), finally replaced my handbag and bought a few tops (i may be fat but that doesn't mean i can't rock what I have). DH…

I think about 1700 calories which for me is maintenance calories. My dinner ended up being pretty big and then had two scoops of ice cream. I think my splurge day messed me up a little, i didn't really need it and I hadn't got into my stride properly before i did it. So not the end of the world. I think what bothered me is…

No more splurge days for a while I think.

Tough day today, getting there, ate dinner at 7:30pm but ate ice cream a few hours after and really struggled to get to 7:30. Will keep on keeping on, it will fall into place properly soon.

Thanks guys, I think am going to have to give them a miss for a while, I was still really struggling today. I was bugging my husband about getting my dinner ready (his turn to cook) poor thing got harrassed a bit! And then three hours later I ate ice cream so not doing great today.

You look seriously trim!! Buffet yum!!

You are doing really well! Good for you!! How about a sarong? I havent worn a bathing suit since I was a kid! My sister whos A bit heavier than me just said to me that she didnt give a damn if anyone looked at her, shes never seeing those people again and if she wants to wear a bathing suit she'll wear a bathing suit! My…

Welcome back!!

Yeah I have done one and tbh it wasn't that enjoyable. I learnt something from the splurge day about how I would structure it in the future (i.e. Actually structure it) and I believe they are very useful tools. My problem is today I found it hard to get back into my stride. I ended up eating in a 4 hour window as I was…

Yeah, for me the weighing of me and the weighing of food is how I snapped last time. I need to chill out basically.

Thanks for your thoughts blambo! I think for me because calorie counting became obsessive I need to watch it and not start weighing food.i think on splurge day I was thinking i had to eat to up my calories, I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. btw this is not typical for me usually i'm delighted with a day of…

I broke and ate like a massive bowl of alpen on the 2nd or 3rd day just cos my scale nudged up a bit. Cara's right, we have all done it/will do it so don't beat yourself up. Don't worry about it, just get back on the horse! Re the people judging you on your food choices thing, I know exactly what you mean. But ultimately…

Okey so i ended up my splurge day at about 2300 calories. Now I have said I'm not counting calories (which to me usually means weighing and loggin everything) but I have been doing ballpark figures. this should take me up to about 1100 per day average this week. Am umming at ahhing about the calorie counting thing at the…

Thanks blambo! I just had a serial dieters freakout! Putting the scales away has really helped!

Thanks edampu, I keep just thinking in a year I'll be kicking myself if I chucked it in. To be honest though it doesn't feel like a strain, it's so easy that it doesn't feel like i'm doing anything really. A lb a week for next to no hassle is worth it. I think I'm done with pushing myself to have unattainable diets. It's…

I think perhaps my appetite has reduced and maybe thats why I really don't want to eat anymore today. Please please please let this be the case!

Soooo splurge day... Think I made some mistakes today, firstly I definitely shouldn't eat ice cream in the middle of the day, makes me too sleepy. Secondly I need to plan an actual meal, I ended up eating belvita biscuits and I don't even like them. I did notice after my carb bomb lunch that my temperature went up quite…

I think you are right sbout eating sugar with a full stomach. Am in the middle of my splurge day and i had a scoop of ice cream and literally fell asleep for two hours, a proper little carb coma. I think i'm ok at dinner time cos i usually eat at about seven anyway and probably because I have ice cream as dessert. Btw its…

I'm eating a mini tub of haagen daz on days I don't do fruit. I gues I'm wondering whther my sweet tooth will disappear like it did before.

Thanks guys! I think for me it's going to be slow and steady and thats ok, am expecting it to go down to 1lb a week. Downwards trends! My husband lost about 20lbs in a year just making small changes and barely weighing himself, whereas I got chubbier. I think it's because i was always looking for a quick fix which then…

Bob, you are making me feel guilty about being surgically attached to my sofa right now. My excuse is it's my adjustment period, I'll do something next week. Re the sugary stuff, I still find I am eating something sweet post dinner, am trying to switch it over to fruit as well. last time I ate like this (granted this was…

Starting weight 179.4lbs Week 1: 177 Loss 2.4lbs Pretty happy with that, it's tempting to go "more more" or why didn't I get a massive first week drop but this is the way my body rolls yo! Also any drop is movement in the right direction! I have hypothyroidism and pcos so no point in moaning, especially since I have…

Too right! Why waste pepper!

I've just been watching joe's "if i had to do OMAD all over again" video and it really reinforced the fact that worrying about the detail right now isn't important (thanks joe!). It made me feel quite calm, he's right, we do have it easy. We're thinking about eating a baguette with cheese in the middle, worrying about…

I just had a downright lovely meal, so satisfying! Still a bit too full but will just work on portion sizes

Also if anyone wants to try the recipe I didn't bother peeling the peppers, I just chopped it all up and used a stick blender.

LOL the idea of trying to get my calories up is soooooo alien to me, its a nice feeling. I'm making my DH do me mac and cheese tomorrow.

Just want to share this with you guys http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/harissa-51185010 Reallllllly good... I'll confess to doubling the recipe and using the whole batch to marinade two chicken breast overnight. Served with couscous (made with veg stock) with lots of stirfried courgette cubes and garlic. This…

Goodness yeah it is!!
