I am feeling more focused than I have in a while, I am in that position having lost a reasonable amount of weight over the last couple of years that all my current clothes are too big. It caused a bit of complacency that I didn't get a hold of when the big miles training for the ultra eased off.
I have been messing around getting it off then putting it back on again but since last weekend's trip I've come back (so far) focused and determined.
The water drinking has to help as I am less likely to look for something to eat as the water does keep you feeling full - and they do say you feel hungry when often you just need hydrating. We'll see.
We have got back to quite large portions, primarily as a huge amount of it is veg so you think that's fine, problem is when you have a meal that's not so veg focused you still want a big portion so I'm cutting down on that too.
I had also got back to relying on bread - poached egg on toast, sandwich for lunch so I am making an effort to reduce bread and at most no more than once a day.
4 weeks to Mallorca!! I want to be a couple of pounds lighter at least.
We can do it gang!!

The Ulla is working I drank way more water last week and especially at the weekend!
We were away (again) at the weekend but weighed today and I’m 1.5lb down on last Monday! It is 1lb up from Friday but it’s a bit improvement on recent weeks.
Going into marathon mode as it’s Loch Ness a week on Sunday but feeling more confident in getting this under control.
Hope you’re all doing ok and enjoying this lovely weather that’s joined us at long last.

I'm not in the right frame of mind for healthy eating so not attempting it again this week - I just keep feeling like a failure. I'm away with my friends for a girl's weekend from Friday-Monday so I'm waiting until after then as there will be much quaffing and munching.

I would love to be one of those people who don't ever have to think about their weight, whether they are naturally slim or naturally not but are comfortable in their own skin. I cant ever see myself being fully happy/comfortable the way I look. It is quite sad really.
If I said to myself I will eat healthy and be happy whatever I don't think I could be - years of being told

I'm thinking we have all got a bit sick of the constant battle its tiring and then thinking about it constantly, worrying that if we take the eye off the ball it will come back on (very much where I am at the moment) and as you aid (xpost GM) feeling like a failure when we try to get a grip and it doesn't work.
Last year the weight came off, I know I was doing a lot of miles but I'm not doing much less now, without much effort. I know weight loss wasn't a concern I was happily going about what I was doing. Now I'm focused on it its becoming a big issue and causing me loads of stress. I am tempted to say off the scales, off MFP eat to hunger but eat healthy but I'm scared too.

Having seen the photos from my swimming event Saturday you would think I would be able to focus, buckle down and do something about this weight but nope, still can't control my eating

I am on a 12 week weight management programme through work. I procrastinated so much that they've allowed me to restart today! I had managed 2 or 3 weeks being very careful, resulting in tiny losses. My fat really wants to cling on. So today is a new day, I have 12 weeks to create some new healthy habits.
