Good God it's weigh in again and another bad week under my belt.
Do I just give up!!!
NO!!
Trust one bad week is not as bad as one bad month, year etc. I have had 3 bad weeks and the scales reflect it but if I give up the scales will keep going up!Right, that is it, I am officially giving up chocolate... Anyone done it before, any tips?!
I'm doing it at the moment. I started yesterday. I'm feeling it today though as I'm attempting to give up all sugar so I'm tired and I have a headache. Weirdly enough I don't have cravings but I don't think that will last. If I can do it trust me anyone can. I could easily eat 4/5 bars of chocolate or 2 full share bags of malteasers, minstrels etc in a sitting. It's a miracle I'm not more overweight than I am
The only tip I can give you at the moment is take each day as it comes. Just don't buy the chocolate (easier said than done!). 0 -

Just finished another awful day, I'm hoping I can undo 2 totally crap days damage over the next 5 days before next Mondays WI... I guess the only consolation is that I'm not gonna let it turn into a crap week, the few bad days are done now, gonna try not even reflect on them but focus forward instead...I gave it up for lent. Cold turkey is how it works for me!
I don't know HOW I'll go without chocolate, I'm seriously the biggest chocolate fiend, but I think like you, I'm hoping going cold turkey will stop me from abusing my craving now! Here's hoping I can even get through one day!

Welcome!
Take it in little steps, one achievement at a time and you'll do fine.
I had 3.5 stone to lose when I started but I didn't let it faze me, just one half stone at time and it worked (well almost - I lost 3 stone and am back to get to goal!)
WI tonight - not feeling too confident with our Valentines dinner and night out on Saturday but will see how it goes.
Does anyone watch Supersize vs Superskinny. I watched it last night - it's a real eye opener!0 -

Hi guys!
I'm back from my hols. I had a big post written out on Monday and then IT called to do something on my computer so I had to close the page I had an amazing time! Words cannot describe. Needless to say, WW didn't go well. It wasn't from lack of trying though but when you are eating out all the time, it is so hard to eat healthily because, as we all know, salads are often a lot more calorific than they seem. Anyway write it off and move on.
I haven't been able to weigh myself as the batteries in my stupid scales are dead again. They must be those batteries that die if they aren't used at least once a week. Anyway I took it as a blessing in disguise as some of my clothes are tighter so I'm guessing I am up a good bit. So I am using this week to get back on track. Monday was ok, we had pancakes for tea as we missed Pancake Tuesday but I had used very little points during the day so I was sorted. Yesterday didn't go so well. I did fine all day but then pigged out when I went home. I am going to point it all now, even though the thought fills me with dread. I've decided to give up chocolate for the remainder of lent starting today. It will be tough as I am ADDICTED to chocolate. I think it will be good as when I lived abroad, I rarely ate bread or cheese as they only had really sweet bread or processed chesse and I never crave them now like I did then. So hopefully it will work with chocolate. I'd say I have a piece of chocolate everyday which is probably why I crave it so much!
I started football again on Monday and I am still in pain today but I feel much fitter now than I did last year. I think spin has definitely paid off. We have a fitness trainer coming on Wednesdays and apparently, he is very tough. But it will be worth it in the long run. I am also starting Couch to 5k tomorrow with my OH. Now if I could just get my eating habits under control, I'd be sorted!
Tiny, I was absolutely delighted to see you had reached goal. You are an inspiration to us all! Can I ask how much did you lose and how long did it take? Any handy tips? Thanks0 -

Welcome back! Where were you on your Hols? I gave up chocolate and desserts last january and remember how tough it is. The past few weeks i tried to scale back to just a treat after WI but have let go again this week. Stress in work leads me to eat choo. But its fine as long as I count it.
Thanks for the comments re goal- am delighted with it!! Great also to get through my first week of maintenance too. I joined last january - the first week back after xmas. So took me just over a year and i lost 52.5lbs in total. I got to 50 in Nov and its taken me nearly 3 months to lose the last 2.5 but sure i got there! My biggest tips is tracking, planning and be honest with yourself. If you need to go off track allow it and dont beat yourself up - that just leads to a downward spiral!0 -
Thanks everyone. I am actually happy to be back and pointing again!
I think I will just give up chocolate for now as I rarely eat crisps, sweets or non-chocolate deserts anyway. I did remember last night that I will have to give it up (and WW) for one day on March 13th as my OH and I are doing a chocolate cooking class that day as he bought me a voucher for Xmas (Isnt he so supportive?!). We had a lunch meeting in work today and, as some many in the office are off chocolate for lent, there was none but there were yummy fruit cups in its place. A lovely 0pp treat! Unfortunately, I have some WW bars, chocolate rice cakes and WW mini rolls at home so I will have to hide them away for the next few weeks. I will get my OH to count them so he can shame me if I sneak any
Tiny, I was in South Africa and it was unbelievable - safari, shark diving and bungy jumping to mention just a few activities. Highly recommend it as a holiday location to anyone who is looking!0 -
I had my WI tonight and I was up 2.5lbs. That's a 4lbs gain now in 3 weeks and thoroughly deserved. I'm glad I got that WI out of the way as I can now focus properly on losing the weight. I'm now 3 days of no sugar and I have to say it's not as hard as I thought it would be. I know it'll get harder once I cut it fully but I'm taking it a day at a time. I'm annoyed at myself for getting this bad as I'm now a 1/2lb heavier than I was when I started back meetings before Christmas. My head is in a much better place now and I feel like I want to do this rather then I have to do this.
Also I was in Dunnes today and they have some gorgeous spring stuff. But for the first time since I started WW in September 2009 I hated shopping and I felt like the fat girl in the changing rooms :mad: Anyway its a motivator to get this weight off so I can start wearing the clothes I want. Sorry for the ramble just needed to get that off my chest 0 -
