For the past couple of weeks Ive been hoverin over the 9 1/2 stone mark. I say hovering, as one morning I would be bang on the half stone mark, a couple of days later I'd be a couple of pounds more (even though diet and exercise hadnt altered!)
BUT seems to have leveled out at that half mark now, which is really great as it seems to have been SO much effort to just loose this much weight! Not easy is it guys?!
Of course Ive had a few slip ups, intentional and not - Ive given up bananas, still havnt touched bread or pasta since I started this blog - last week I spent 3 days also cutting out dairy, as I wanted to be unbloated for Valentines day (it worked, but couldnt do it in the long run as I love milky coffee and yoghurt!)
BUT on Valentines day I did join in with a chocolate fondue, with fudge and mini cookies! So I imagine any weight lost during that non dairy, non carbs period was gained in that meal alone!
Im keeping both a meal plan for each week, and a food diary - I find this really helps to really think about what your eating, and also deters you from eating something naughty as you will have to own up to it!
Lots of love and luck - Im going to be stepping up my game to try and loose this last 1/2 stone! J xx
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is a "stone" about 14 pounds? I don't live in the UK, so it's a little confusing to me. If all you have to lose is 1/2 a stone - that's great. I wish you best of luck. I have a much longer road ahead of me. I need to lose 60 pounds - I can't even imagine how many "stones" that would be. Probably enough to build a mountain!!!
ReplyDeleteYes there are 14 pounds in a UK Stone (I dont know why we measure in this way - maybe just so we feel special and different...!) So yes, not too far to go, but still finding it a struggle! Had a real binge this weekend (hungover sunday) and pretty much ONLY ate carbs so havnt dared weigh the damage yet...BIG good lucks for your south beach diet, it sounds really tough but really effective :-) J x
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your good wishes. I know you can lose those last few stones if you are determined enough. Just think of what an amazing feeling it will be when you hit your goal!
