Hey Chepsol,

Like you I have fallen off the waggon (badly!). Lost over 8 stone in 2016 to achieve my goal with Weight Watchers. Kept within target range for about 18 months then gradually all the bad habits crept back. Now scared to get weighed but determined to get back in control. Maybe we can support each other?

Yes we can! Am determined this time to get it right.

[JLos]

Great, well I got off to a good start over the weekend. Planning recipes for week, shopping and cooking healthy on Sat and Sunday. I find it difficult during the week as I travel for work but am determined to try and stay in control. What is your approach?

[Chepsol 1kg in reply to JLos]

I too plan for my meals(and cook) on Sundays. My weekdays are extremely busy. Planning also helps me stay on course and not get distracted as happened in the past.

[JLos]

I hope you have a great healthy diet day. Shall we check-in later to see how it's gone?

[Chepsol 1kg in reply to JLos]

Yes you can. Have a healthy day too!

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Chepsol]

It's great to see you buddying up for the journey How about you both post your plans on the Daily Diary and get involved with sharing ideas there, too?

[Chepsol 1kg in reply to BridgeGirl]

Hi BridgeGirl, agreed. I will post my plans. Thank you.

You'll find it a very sociable place

[JLos in reply to BridgeGirl]

Thanks - I will take a look, haven't seen that section of the site yet.

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to JLos]

It's a great help with planning, as well as getting to know people

[JLos in reply to BridgeGirl]

Thanks - just reading some of the posts now.

[JLos in reply to Chepsol]

Hi Chepsol, sorry I didn't check back yesterday - got back from work late. Really happy that I managed to stick to my plan, despite being in a situation where I normally fall off the waggon - long drive, stressful sessions to lead at work, long drive back and no time to cook. Luckily, I had leftovers from my WW meal the night before so that was fine! How was your day?

[Chepsol 1kg in reply to JLos]

Hi JLos, great to hear from you. Being day 1 of course has its challenges especially on portion management and keeping cravings at bay. I managed well though by sticking to my meal plan. One day at a time..

[JLos in reply to Chepsol]

Fantastic - hope today goes just as well!

Hi, I know how you feel it’s so frustrating trying to lose weight, and I’ve been on so many diets, I’ve joined on here today, to get support and advice from others in the same situation as me.

[Chepsol 1kg in reply to Hopefulslimmer]

Hi, welcome to the club. To say it's frustrating is an understatement but am positive that this time I will hack it a day at a time.

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to Hopefulslimmer]

Agree that it is really hard - but it is do-able! I wish I had the magic key that unlocks the door in my head that keeps me on track.

[JLos in reply to Lytham]

Thanks Lytham, my weigh-in day is Friday (if I pluck up the courage to do it!) so will post then.

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to JLos]

Thats brilliant, go for it on Friday, you won't regret it! x

[JLos in reply to Lytham]

Hi Lytham, I just weighed-in on the Friday weigh-in. Was hard to get weighed as I haven't been near the scales for months! Anyway, not too bad - I am 13.9 and have set a goal of 10.7 by Christmas!

Hope your week is going well.

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to JLos]

Oh that would be amazing to get to 10.7 for Christmas! x

[JLos]

Hey Chepsol, Hope your week is going well? I just got weighed so now I know what I'm dealing with........................Good to face reality and set a goal.

[Chepsol 1kg in reply to JLos]

Hi JLos, great to hear from you. I can see you are on the right path. Have been traveling a lot this week so my plans have been inconsistent. My first weigh in is on Monday. Hope to see good results. Enjoy your weekend!

[JLos]

Hi Chepsol, did you weigh in yesterday? Hope so, and hope you got a good result!

[Chepsol 1kg]

Hi JLos, yes I did weigh in last week and today. Total loss so far is 1.5Kg. One day at a time.

How are you doing?
