Weigh-in Jan 15th

My weigh-in was a little disappointing taken consideration of the fact that I ate almost zero carbs all week and was pretty strict. I exercised but to be honest it was very minimal and what little walking I did do wasn't at a very aerobic rate.

Weight on Saturday Jan 15th was 70.2 kilos, total net loss for the week was 400 grams.

Total loss since Christmas 2.2 kilos.

Through my comment section a few days ago I was turned onto something called The Wendie Plan, which in a way gives structure to my whole more food day idea. So I am now going to incorporate her idea into my Weight Watchers program. I had to tailor my own points program because it appears when Wendie came up with this plan she did so on the old points system that gave you a range of points to use over the week. What I've done is use her idea and make up my own range by taking my entire 140 points allowance for the week (20 points daily) and it looks like this:

Saturday: 17
Sunday: 22
Monday: 18
Tuesday: 32
Wednesday: 17
Thursday: 22
Friday: 19

So there you have it, my way to fight the body's desire to shut down weight loss by thinking I am starving it.

Hi rebeka . . . Michele sent me.

Losing weight is a bitch. All through my twenties I was one of those annoying people who never had to worry about my weight because I could eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING and still remain stick thin. But boy oh boy is it different now that I am in my thirties.

Because I just don't do diets, I find the best way for me to keep the weight off is to limit my alcohol intake (to no more than 3 pints of beer a week) and to exercise three times a week (for an hour at a time).

I can highly recommend Matt Roberts - he has a load of books out with great exercise/eating plans.

Anyway, good luck with it all.

Hello!
Just read your comment on my blog. And in response to "how could you possibly have time to solely blog about your neighbours?" - well I only post about once a week and I'm a quick typer ;)

You're the second person to post that as a comment! I think I'll have to put a second disclaimer at the top saying "I spend a maximum of half an hour a week on this blog" ;)

Anyway, liked your blog - good luck with the diet! I wish I had the willpower!

Hello, I came over today from honestyrain's place (via Michele's Sunday comment game). I'll be back to read more, and seek inspiration for my own (much-needed) weight loss.

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
