End of diet race - Week One

[isabellasmum]

Was wondering how everyone found it?

I've been fine and eaten a bit of everything I fancied but in moderation. Have cut out so much crap I eat that I had out of habit and surprised I didn't miss it. Mostly stuff I used to graze on in the afternoons and later in the evenings out of boredom.

Am feeling so much better in myself - this time last week I was bloated and sluggish. Jeans feel looser too which is a plus.

I'm only going to update my ticker weekly as weightloss/gain varies day to day so makes sense for me to do it once a week on the same day iykwim. Will see how the land lies in the morning

I have been feeling much better myself. I have cut out extra eating and really haven't missed much at all. Allowed a few treats this weekend because I had been so good this week, but shared them with hubby and the kids (except for the Iced Capp I just had for myself, but drank it during a 2 hour walk, so feel like I deserved it). This morning still weighed the same as on Friday, so I figure I have done pretty good!

Hope everyone else is doing well too!

I have been making sure I eat a good breakfast - had boiled eggs for three out of the seven mornings so far and have been concioius about not overdoing the butter on my toast etc.

I have cut down on my portion sizes a bit as used to eat the same as my OH who is over a foot taller than me.

I used to have a glass of wine or two with a meal each evening, but have stopped this for at least three of the seven nights, and only had one small glass on the days I do.

I bought raw almonds and some clementines and some natural yoghurt so have been having more healthy daytime snacks.

I have cut down on buying lattes (so saving money too) - only had three this whole week.

I haven't yet managed to stop the after dinner pudding habit, but am going to try to do this next week.

I think that I am now more conscious of what I put in my mouth and thinking first, do I need it? or when cooking thinking, how can I make this lower in fat, etc. And OH has liked all the low fat meals so far too.

I was good for a few days and stunk for the rest/\. Been exhausted with Noa running a 104 and being clingy and when I am tired I eat. Bad susie. Although all in all, did not do too badly.

[SephiesMum]

Started OK but finished really badly. Resulting in just 1lb lost when I was down 3lb earlier in the week. Hopefully this week should be better as I am playing squash at least twice and gym once. Also hubby is working all weekend so less temptation when he's not about. All in all very disappointed in myself!

I lost 1/2 lb, tis crap, I miss biscuits

I'm doing quite well - it is just reminding me to be sensible about things really. Actually put on weight tho because am about to come on my period. But on the upside, I usually put on almost half a stone around that time, so the fact I only put on a couple of lbs means I'm actually fairly chuffed

Forgot to also say that I think if I'd taken measurements I would see a fair difference, on my waist especially. Not so much the abdomen right now tho
