Routine really helps, so yes I understand once it's upset things can change and new ones need establishing.. hope yours settles soon

In your case I wouldn't get too hung up on a little fruit as a dessert especially if you are still hungry. As long as most days you are leaving the meal pleasantly satisfied I'm sure it won't impact negatively on loss. Like you my loss has stalled since Christmas but I think it's the impact of stres...

I just read about someone in a fasting group coming to a standstill with weight loss. She tried alternate day fasting and it kickstarted her loss....

Thank you

You can report these and they will be removed but the forum software needs upgrading, it is preventable but takes more work.

1/2 lb off this week which was pleasing. Two yoga sessions and just one alcohol slip, had a hot chocolate one night and slipped a baileys in it.....

I did have a couple of sweet things as part of my meals this week. Not fully in nos habits but all under control and moderate.

I'm good thanks Dalia. Just before Christmas I'd lost a stone since end of March, a couple of pounds up over Christmas but back on track now.

This does work, stick with it

Welcome back, I was only thinking about you earlier this week.

Nos is a journey you've obviously learnt a lot and are now ready to fully embrace it

Good luck

Not sure of how many of our sayings you've heard yet - but one of my favorites is: Mark it and Move On. We don't do ourselves one lick of good by beating ourselves up over the mistakes. However, remembering the icky feeling of over-doing it can help prevent failure the next time you are faced with ...

Soprano

If it's occasional I might have a handful of nuts to tied me over.

If everyday, look at lunch composition and up the protein and fat content.

Also a glass of water, sometimes dehydration can be mistaken for hunger.

Jx

You're not pregnant are you!!

Seriously hope you feel better soon

Jx

Soprano

Sorry you are feeling unwell. Re all the things to do, why not make a list... Write down what you want to achieve, then break it down in to weekly tasks to complete by X date. Then each week assign small tasks to each day. Leave yourself room for the unexpected to derail you and have days off but ti...

Soprano

Your plan sounds fine to me and shouldn't cause you any problems with loss.

A longer period without food can carry some benefits. On holiday I have a late breakfast, snack then dinner..

Still not got back to full nos and last weekend was a bit ott with sweet things. Managed another week of no alcohol Mon to Thursday so pleased with that. Weight today had stayed the same.

Yay well done on the green Day! You can do it

Doesn't it feel good

You are on the road to recovery from overweight and bingeing it won't happen over night and there will be set backs but you can do it.

Jx

Soprano

Interesting being worried about total wheels off. If habits are well established you might have the odd blip but no reason to believe it will extend.

For comfort though whilst you are in control write a plan for dealing with the eventuality

Jx

Soprano

Well done, sounds like you are doing well

Jx

Soprano

Oh so sorry to hear you are down. This will work, but best approach it slowly if you aren't ready to give up overeating at meals. It's a win just to stick to the no snacks and no sweet stuff. When you are ready take one meal a day and try choose something healthy and tasty, take your time with it an...

Thanks Soprano - yes, I made it. By the time I got home at 8pm, I had no desire at all. I was sleepy, and very ready to get in bed and read. Drinking Mod Day - 2 drink limit. I will measure 10 ounces out, then drink the glasses separated by at least one hour. I will sip slowly. I will have lots of ...

I'd recommend yoga as a good exercise it has physical and mental benefits.

Last year I followed my half hour video very sporadically, this year I'm trying to commit to twice a week as there are so many benefits.

I think there are scales out there that send a reading to your phone via Bluetooth. I don't know how good or expensive they are but that might work for you.

Love the idea of establishing the yoga habit by changing into the clothes

Good luck.

I weighed today and from my lowest weight in November I've gained just under 2lbs. My scales weigh down to a 10th of a pound :) I'm pleased with that as I did throw the nos rules out if the window for the latter half of December until after New year. I ate more sweet stuff than normal but not in a b...

Thinking about it in the past I've restricted to one bottle of wine over a weekend. Might do that again! I'm happy with less on Sunday because of work on Monday so I could have more Fri and Sat

Jx

Soprano

I hadn't really thought about moderating my drink days, I'll join you on 2 glasses of wine unless we are socialising with friends

Not sure how it will go but I'd not have more than 3 if it's just the two of us, do you think 3 is too much?

Jx

Soprano

Hi Auto

How did your drinking plan go? I've just finished dinner and had nothing. I made a hot chocolate last night and usually add a shot of Baileys but didn't. So I can thankfully report my 4 planned drink free days were a success!

Roll on Friday:)

Jx

Soprano

I was quite relaxed over the festive period and only gained a small amount being am now keen to get back in routine.

Good luck

Jx

Soprano

22% body fat is excellent. BMI is really only a guide. You have done brilliant!

Jx

Soprano

Thinking about it I switched my lunches from sandwiches to salads and really love them. I don't miss the lunch carbs and don't get that afternoon slump. I did wonder how I'd manage in the winter but it's been fine.

Jx

Soprano

I find this really interesting because I don't ever see me eating any differently in the future to how I do now I just assume my body will reach a good weight and maintain it with no change from me. For me thats what the plan has been about. The only thing I might change is how often I weigh. I know...

Soprano

I've done the occasional 16 hour fast by skipping breakfast. I think it helped with weight loss but I don't do it often enough to make a huge difference.

Jx

Sounds like you are really getting this, well done

Jx

Soprano

Let's just discuss this "plan working for me" a little more :) If you stick to the plan it does work for you, you have proven that. What you have just learnt is that if you revert to old habits the weight comes back. That will happen on any plan. I'm guessing your issue is with the slow weightloss, ...

Soprano

You've had a shock but you have plan, don't even think about putting an end day on it, it's a journey and a lifetime plan, you have the tools you need and the changes you are going to instigate are your choices from learning. Much better than diet imposed ones as they will stay with you. Big hugs fo...

Soprano

Great to hear the drinking plan is on track, so far I've abstained

Though I did succumb to a piece of Christmas cake after dinner!

Jx

Soprano

Lovely to read your post Worth. I'm sure you'll sort maintenance no problem, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if you lost more.

Wishing you luck

Jx

Soprano

Maintenance through the festivitie period is great. Good luck with your adjustments

Jx

Soprano

For all those that felt they went off the rails over the festive period and are struggling to get back on it, repeat this mantra... It's not what you eat between Christmas Day and New year's Day but what you eat between New Year's day and Christmas day that really impacts on long term weight :) Jx

Soprano

I admire how you are willing to tackle your drinking. Take it slowly whilst you form new habits. Abstinence days are good and filling those days with things that mean you can't drink is a good move. I sometimes think we drink too much. Generally I wouldn't drink Mon to Thursday but some meals I cook...

Soprano

Thanks oolala, I'm a finance manager in a hospice.

Yesterday was a typical S day, breakfast, piece of cake late afternoon and dinner which was 2 courses with a couple of chocs

Just read upwards, not through all of your posts but through a good deal of them.

I think being hungry sooner after a carb laden meal is to do with our bodies insulin response too.

You've developed some great habits Sharon, well done

Jx

What time do you eat dinner, 5 to 6 hours between meals should be manageable even if eating early, is there a reason you can't eat a later breakfast?

Soprano

Starting nos at Christmas isn't the easiest time but you seem to have come up with a sensible approach.

Remember it isn't a diet, more a way of life so it has to work for all occasions. It's possible to enjoy celebrations without feeling stuffed or deprived. Enjoy your family time

Sharon you are doing great, I won't be weighing until at least a week on Friday!

I must admit I seem to be treating the whole Christmas break as a holiday now but because it'...

Soprano

Great post Ladybird.

Learning to listen to internal cues is a really important part of the journey, not essential in the beginning but long term will help.

I also find meal composition impacts on how long I go between meals before feeling hungry... Again not something to worry about too soon.

Jx

Great news re the handbag, can't have too many.

I think I'll be happy if I can cut the snacking over the weekend!
