Thanks everyone - I've been really naff this weekend. Didn't drink too much but made some rubbish choices with food. Got grit/glass kicked into my eye on Saturday by a car and ended up in A&E and it was just a nightmare - I'm so squeamish with eyes! They couldn't invert my eyelid (after many, many attempts) so had to give me anaesthetic and just ram cotton swabs up there to try and shift it. Was not much fun. So we got a takeaway after that. Yesterday I pulled it back but think the damage may have been done Friday and Saturday and have lost ZERO weigh this week. I think my motivation has been really lacking.. I've gone into maintenance mood instead of concentrating on losing more. Have made a very low-cal curry with pearl barley for lunches for the week (Yank has his with white rice) and have dinners planned.
We walk around the Isle of Wight on Friday so have the family descending on me late Thursday night.. we are doing 20 miles a day for 4 days. Obviously we will be eating a lot to keep energy levels up but I'm going to make sure I log everything and keep alcohol to a minimum in the evenings.
Saw the Love Witch last night and hated it.. not quite sure what it was trying to say but it failed miserably.
23rd April:
Breakfast: pear in juice (120)
Lunch: crackers and low-fat cream cheese (357)
Dinner: home-made baked chips, chicken burger, carrots (646)
Total: 1123
Steps: 8000

Week 13: 179 to 178 (-1)
Week 14: 178 (0)

Yes, all better now. Was pretty grim though! Quick update again as I have to go to work - sorry I've not been getting round diaries much the last few weeks..will try and pop in more often. I weighed on Sunday and had lost nothing and weighed yesterday morning and lost 2lbs..think it may have been because I weighed Sunday PM and Monday first thing..anyway, down to 175lb which incidentally means I'm not longer overnight and am now "average" for my height! The high end of average, but still average! Will have to post weigh in results properly on Thursday as I'm going away for the whole weekend so will see if that 2lbs stays off.
Went to see my old lady in the hosp after work as she has a nasty UTI. She was very confused and upset and had wet herself when I got there. Ended up changing her as all the nurses were so busy and she was so distressed about it all.. Kept calling me her sisters name and saying she was sorry I'd died. Poor lady Will go back up tomorrow after work. I didn't get home til 20:00 last night so it was dinner, a tv show and bed for me. Slept well though.
24th April
Breakfast: satsumas (82)
Lunch: southern indian cauliflower curry with pearl barley (319)
Dinner: pesto mash with italian sausage and onion gravy, broccoli and carrots (664)
Snacks: half a pint of beer, half a small bag of M&Ms shared with my gorgeous Yank (258)
Total: 1323
Steps: 10,000

Am really pleased - have been eating a ton of veggies with every meal and it's really paid off. Yank had seconds last night but because I'd done half my plate with carrot and broccoli I just couldn't face anything else. Now for 80 miles walking over 4 days - wish me luck and I'll see ya on Tuesday!

Hullo all! Back from our travels last night and completely exhausted! My blisters have blisters! Back to work today after taking my dad to see the new house. Back to food logging - we are on a super tight budget this month so have done a tiny food shop and will be making it last. All helps with the weight loss! We are a ton whilst we were away, lots of carbs and chocolate to keep energy up but plenty of fruit and healthy bits too. Will see what weigh in next week brings..
Here are some photos of our 4 day hike!

well done.. some tips you choose from...
These motivational quotes for weight loss are not the cure, but they can help lift your mood when you feel like stopping, quitting and giving up.
Enjoy!
1.) “If it was about knowledge we would all be skinny and rich. It’s not about what you know but what you do!”
2.) “The distance between who am I am and who I want to be is only separated by what I do!”
3.) “The only bad workout is the one that didn’t happen.”
4.) “To change your body you must first change your mind.”
5.) “Someone busier than you is running right now.”
6.) “Working out is never convenient. But neither is illness, diabetes and obesity!”
7.) “I don’t stop when I’m tired, I stop when I’m DONE!”
8.) “I don’t work hard because I hate my body. I workout because I love it!”
9.) “Get comfortable with being uncomfortable!”
10.) “When it burns, is when you’re just getting started. That’s when you get stronger!”
11.) “If you have 30 minutes for Facebook, you have 1 hour for the gym!”
12.) “The best way to predict your health is to create it.”

14.) “You can’t run from all your problems, but it will help you lose weight.”

17.) “Your body hears everything your mind says. Keep going. You can!”
18.) “Don’t stop until you’re proud.”
19.) “You don’t have to go fast, you just have to go.”
20.) “If you’re tired of starting over; stop giving up!”
