Day 267...
"I have made a challenge to myself (and a dear friend)to be 11.06 by 16th August.. I think this is realistic and achievable if I work the plan!!!!!"
I wrote this on Mini's thread yesterday and I'm repeating it here today to remind me!!!!
I've messed around for far too long and need to get back into gear. The plan is to SS for a week and then move into AAM, 790, and then 1000 to lose the last 20 or so lbs before stabalisation. This must and will be done!!!
From today I will be keeping a food diary on here as a record to myself.
My weight yesterday was 12.00... my current goal is 10.07, depending on how I look and feel this is open to change up or down!!

Kieran had his 1st week weigh in today..weight was 16.08 he's lost 13lbs!!!!!! 2" off his waist and 2" off his chest. His start weight was 17.07 and he's aiming at around 13.07 - 14.00 depending on his body fat %, which he wants to get to 20%(top end of the healthy range for a bloke his age)... when he started it was 30%!!!!!!

I hope everyone is having a great day... []

Well done Sweetie - I knew you'd do it - what a super star!!

I have to confess I've been right off plan for a few days but after my weekend away I'll have my blinkers on and be heading for 12.6 as agreed in our pledge on the phone the other night[]

Glad to hear K is still doing well - men eh - so focused, so determined....grrrr....lol[]

I'm just getting ready to the all the girls on a night out - now we've got the 7 seater we can all fit in - and I get to drink water all night which is fine as got an early start and nothing worse than an early start with a hangover....[:0]

Catch up after the weekend and stay strong.

Day 271..
Well yesterday was very stressful... Kieran was in bed with "man" flu and I had a million things to do to sort the evenings gigs. I was pretty good food wise all day but then managed to shoot myself in the foot at work last night... functions with buffets are my downfall.... I'm beggining to recognise a pattern where I want to eat the food just 'cause it's there, available and free... even though I'm not in any way hungry!!! what's that all about? Also I don't like to see stuff going to waste!!!! must be the "clear your plate" syndrome raising its ugly head[}]
I must start to devise strategies to deal with this while I'm working the head stuff out!!!!!

Although Kieran's not well he has stuck 100% to the diet.. he says he doesn't want to stay on it any longer than neccesary and he will be good until he gets to goal!!! I believe him... I wish I was still so strong about it. I feel like I've been on this journey for ever now and am really stumbling around the finishing line. I know I will get there... but I'm beggining to do my own head in with all my ups and downs!!!!! What I really need is a strong few days of focused effort to make me feel more in control again.... I will begin today.. as Sundays are usually a hard dieting day... to prove I can.
