Hi everyone. I have a diary over in the general section (link in my sig) but I thought I'd have a more specific one over here. I'm a typical yo-yo dieter, but I've been consistently losing or maintaining since some time in July. I've lost 18lbs in total - which doesn't sound like much, but I see it as a huge achievement! Because up until July I was unable to stick to anything for longer than half a day :/. I was on Exante at first but had to finish because of side effects, I've since been calorie counting with two days off. Which was working fine before the past week! Since my OH has been here I've had alcohol and junk food daily and needless to say, I gained 5lbs.
Today is the first day of having meal packs because I had a 200 cal meal on day one and two. I also won't be having SS shakes for a while because I've got a few Exante ones to use up. I'm an obsessive daily scale hopper and can't get through any diet without checking! Only down 2lbs in 2 days =( I'm used to losing more in the first couple of days (especially after a recent gain) but fingers crossed I'll have a decent full week loss.
A normal day for me will be;
Breakfast: half Exante shake
Lunch: half bar and small coke zero
Dinner: spag bol or cottage pie with veg allowance
Dessert: half bar
Snack: half Exante shake warm/cold or mixed with psyllium husks (only 2-3 times per week) to make a porridge.
Hope everyone is doing well
