We're so unaware of how much we nibble and taste and 'try' and after a some vino.. well everything is ProPoint free no?! What chip shop?!?! The biscuit tin at work... ever slip your hand in there and forget ALL about it... For the next 7 days stick up your tracker on the fridge... download whatever app works for you... get a fancy little notebook and WRITE IT ALL DOWN! If you know you're going to have a good time then write down - 5 slices of cake... 2 (don't judge!) bottles of wine... then when it comes to the scale.. there can be no.. 'I have NO idea what went wrong?!?'
Writing it down means you learn your triggers, weaknesses and when you're most likely to slip... weekend fall-out anyone? groan... but if you're honest with yourself then you can see where you slip up other than the wagon jumps! and THAT'S when you can make the changes you need to... anyone been watching 'secret eaters' on channel 4.. people are genuinely unaware that every time they have a cup of tea a biccy seems to tag along! Its facinating to watch... lots of experiments to see how people subconsciously eat! like... food in clear bowls gets eaten more than ceramic bowls because we can see it sitting there.. screaming at us! ... I digress.... TRACK... that is all!
I'm away in the UK next week with work, so there won't be a full post unless I sneak out (this may happen!) but I will put up a final 'weigh in' for those on the board and we can see how we've done! Can you believe another mini-challenge is over!? This year is just flying by! Now ... TRACK! I mean it! Doll xxx
Down 1.5lbs this week, very happy, like this weeks challange, I do track most of the time and it really does make such a difference. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! You've been down every week! well done! I'm a fairweather tracker to be honest.. depends on the mood I'm in and if I feel like being honest (!) seriously!!!! This week is gonna be different! x
DeleteStayed the same - I think I may have over indulged on the fruit! Plan this week is to limit fruit to 3 pieces per day.
ReplyDeletePressure on this week!
You've done brilliantly! and overdosing on fruit is better than biccies! x
DeleteHi Doll! I tracked religiously this week n was down 1.5lbs so I'm happy with that!im off on holiday this Sunday so I'm hoping the 30 day shred will have made the shorts looser!best of luck with the rest of the challenge I won't be weighing next week n it will be damage control the week after!! Thanks Doll for the inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! See tracking works.. sigh.. bless us! Enjoy xxx
DeleteCan I ask you all a question about tracking?
ReplyDeleteI understand the concept 'if I bite it write it' and I do write EVERYTHING down, but my question is do I need to point it if it's literally only a bite that I'm taking? For example, I had two bites of chicken this evening while cooking dinner. I have tracked it but should I point it as 1 just in case???
Yes point everything coz all the little nibbles could add up to 5 points at the end of the day and god know what at the end of the week. Better off it will stop u from picking too much too and save ur points for something better :-)
DeleteThank you!
DeleteHey Doll, Congrats on the loss! I was away the last few days so didn't get a chance to post but I'm +0.5 I'm afraid. Going to put it down as a blip as was very good last week. Hoping for a better result next tuesday!
ReplyDeleteOh just noticed you didn't get my post about week 4, I was -2lbs! Yoyoing a bit here!! Ah well - will get there in the end!
ReplyDeleteSpotted I missed you! eek... and don't worry about a blip... this week I learned a litre of water weighs a kilo!!! Seriously nothing to worry about! Its about inches and how you feel too remember... Plus I'm the queen of 'my body is a week behind me' .. if you're good it does show .. eventually! silly bodies.. xxx
DeleteDown 1lb this week!!8lb in total which is 3 over my goal for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great challenge Doll xx
amazing!!! xxx
DeleteUp .5 it was a bad week btn a car collision and time of month. Lots of chocolate was consumed, but was required so not stressing about it. Hope everyone did well & enjoyed the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteGeez.. long as you're ok! x
DeleteDown another 1 this week, 1lb over my goal. I always track everything, so this weeks mini-challenge was easier!! I'm nearer to goal now (5lbs away) so thanks Doll for the incentive of the challenge
ReplyDeleteWell done.. you've done brilliantly at this challenge! Very proud of you... xxx
DeleteDown 0.75lb this week. I always track religiously, good, bad or indifferent days. It helps enormously.
ReplyDeleteThese challenges were a great motivator. Thanks doll.
Ah you're one of the good guys.. I have to admit I'm not great at tracking... time runs away with me and I 'plan' to do it later.. and later never happens.. well done on the loss! 12lbs in the challenge.. be very proud of yourself xxx
DeleteDown half pound this week :-)
ReplyDeleteConsistantly down... good stuff! It's the healthiest way to lose it! xxx
Delete-3lbs - Woohoo - Tracking definitely works!! :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! seeeeeeee! Brilliant result! Fear of the tracker! Should make that into a movie! LOL xxx
DeleteDown .5 lb. Moving very slowly but all in the right direction!
ReplyDeleteThese challenges are a great motivator, keep them coming!
Exactly... slow and steady means you're less likely to put it back on quicker! well done x
DeleteDown 2lbs over the moon, so trilled with the results of this challange, thanks so much for you motivation. Got my third silver seven joined 12 weeks ago so im just trilled. Onwards and downwards :)
ReplyDeleteThat's excellent! love it! Great loss... x
