4 days ago

I put my weight down as 198.5lb 4 days ago, although I wasn't wearing a top, so technically I suppose I was 199lb. Having stayed the same for 2 weeks I figured enough was enough, and to try and find the cause, and I think the problem is that I tend to eat with boredom, which isn't good. Whenever I've had the urge to snack since then I've tried to drink a pint of squash instead, and make sure anything I do snack on is healthy. I didn't buy any chocolate last week so I've not had that to snack on.

I did a sneaky weigh in today (I usually have been weighing in on a Wednesday) and I weighed just under 196lb! Which is 14 stone exactly, and back to my pre-pregnancy weight. The lowest weight I got down to between pregnancies was 13 stone 8lb, so I'm aiming for 13 stone 7lb by Christmas, which is about 1lb a week loss.

We have also been getting meal ideas down for me to draw up a fortnightly meal plan, and hopefully that'll lead to fewer takeaways and easy solutions and by focussing on portion size hopefully that'll lead to a few more lbs lost.

Here's hoping Christmas doesn't bring about too much of a weight gain - we won't be going overboard on buying special foods, so it'll just be rationing any chocolate or goodies got for Christmas. It would be lovely to have lost a dress size or two by summer.... And to get down all those size 14 clothes from the loft!
