getting frustrated. While I haven't been dietting as hard as I might, I haven't been eating all THAT much, but weight is back to where it was after Christmas holiday!
Think my problem is lack of sleep, so getting hungry and not noticing what I am eating....

Went to funeral of neighbour today and wore suit I bought 15 years ago. I fit it... so diet over last 15 years works:-)

Managed a whole 4 days again, hope it's reflected on the scales tomorrow.

Oh dear - demoralising, isn't it?

Have you tried keeping a food diary? Amazing what you don't realise you eat! For me, it was snacks before dinner (whilst cooking dinner, actually ) and they don't 'alf tot up!

Mind you, my food diary now shows (everyone) what a boring diet I eat (except for embarrassingly high wine/beer intake - yeah yeah, I know), but on the plus side, I am floating just either side of my target weight now. Yip yip!

Maybe writing everything down would help? It can sometimes be a bit of a shock to see it in black and white how much grazing is done without being aware of it!

[janeyo]

I am still following the thread despite not being able to actively lose weight - keep going for me, and i will rejoin you when I can

[Florence Fennel]

I don't snack between meals, I've reduced my portion sizes and cut out bread and I'm avoiding potatoes. When at work, my breakfast is usually a small can of beans on one slice of unbuttered brown bread, lunch is a tin of soup (I'm working my way through the low fat flavours), a fat free yoghurt and and apple. Dinner is a healthy meal, mostly veg. I've reduced my alcohol intake in the evenings. It will work eventually, just not been at it very long, so I really mean it, I will carry on until I see a significant weight loss, or it will be the road to hell. Come back in when you can Janeyo, I do know what you mean. Hazel is something of an inspiration, so I'm glad she's keeping on.
