for some reason I can't post picture of my weekly stats
Anyway, for 2 weeks I didn't lose any weight, I've been gaining and losing the same 2 pounds, back and forth. Finally this week I got myself together and lost 2 pounds! This is what protein foods and tiny dinners do for you:)
Today's weight: 156

I did it
so yesterday I didn't post because I was feeling down, and the reason was that I gained another 0,5 lbs. I weighed 159,5 and was upset with myself, I really don't want to go back to 160s. It's funny how vulnerable we get when dieting, every small weight fluctuation can get us either ecstatic or depressed. Or it's only me?
Anyway, I didn't eat a lot yesterday and moved a lot, and it paid off!I'm 158 today and continue my PP.

It's a war!
I gained 1 pound!
I knew I can't eat candies and lose weight. So it's time for heavy weapons: pure protein! Yes, I'm back on mini-attack phase, just to give myself a push and get things moving in the right direction. I don't know how long will it last, hopefully I will have enough of willpower to do 3 days of PP.
Breakfast: coffee with 1% milk, 3 slices of turkey
Snack: diet red bull
Lunch
pretty big piece of jerk chicken breast
Dinner:

Plateau and binging
still 158 and not doing good food wise:( I had 4 chocolate candies today and I can't stop, I'm binging:(
I know I'm heading in the wrong direction. I was doing so good for the past month so if I don't want to waste all of my hard work I need to get myself together and regain control ASAP! I know I can do it.
Update: had another candy

no news
I didn't post for 2 days because I have no news, everything is still the same. My weight fluctuates between 158 and 157,5. I'm counting points, drinking lots of water, trying to move as much as possible.
I'm staying within my points, but I'm being slick, maybe too slick and that's why I'm not losing any weight. For example, yesterday for breakfast I had a blueberry scone and coffee with 1% milk, that's 13 points. For lunch I had sauteed spinach with cream cheese-3 points. Dinner: broiled sea bass and salad = another 5 points.
And then I had watermelon and ice cream (Haagen Dazs!)-7 points. So I stayed well within my limits (29 points per day), but ate stuff that I shouldn't eat if I really want to lose weight. What do you think?
Also I ordered couple of pants in size 8 and now I don't know if I should have done it. They were on sale and I decided that maybe in a month or 2 I will be able to wear them. Not sure if it was a good decision. I can squeeze into size 10, but with a mild case of camel toe:)
Overall, I'm feeling a little tired and unmotivated. Thank God it's Friday!

I hate TTOM
158,5- I'm gaining weight and praying it's TTOM. I was aiming for 156 this Friday, now I'll be happy if I get my 157 back.
Yesterday night I got my scales that I ordered from Amazon, so this morning like a true food and diet obsessed maniac I weighed my breakfast: 2 oz of bacon, 1 oz of danish blue cheese, 10 grams of chocolate, plus coffee with 1% milk=11 points. I have 18 points left for the rest of the day.
Oh and yesterday I got one of my first compliments (kind of)! My co-worker said that she can see it in my face that I already lost some weight. I excitedly and proudly replied: yes, 10 pounds! And then she said: "or maybe that's because you are wearing makeup today your face looks thinner... " The look on my face was priceless LOL
Snack; fruit salad-0 points
Lunch: salad with feta and olives -5 points, 13 points left
Another snack: 1/3 of keebler club crackers -2 points
Dinner: fried shrimps, not sure how many points but I think I did good today and didn't go overboard.

Monday
My weight today is 158, even though yesterday it was 157. Maybe it's my upcoming TTOM, or just bagel, peach pie and wine that I had yesterday.
I didn't count points over the weekend. On Saturday I did very good and ate in moderation, walked for 2 hours and had lots of water. Sunday wasn't so good, didn't move much and ate diet unfriendly foods. So as always, Monday is the time when I concentrate, get myself together and continue my journey to being skinny.

One month anniversary
Today is exactly one month since I started dieting and I'm happy to report that since June 8 I lost 10 lbs! But..there is always a but, right? not even one person (I'm talking about my friends and family) commented on my weight, I was expecting to hear: oh, Masha did you lose some weight?
I know it's difficult to see changes when you see someone everyday, but some people didn't see me in a month or two. No one noticed:( Also I'm still the same size, yes clothes fit me better, but I'm still wearing size 12 pants. Just had to complain.
I'm dreading this weekend, I'm not doing good with weekends, I tend to lose control. Hopefully lots of walking will compensate for my slip-ups.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Experiment
Back to 158,5 - phew, what a relief, I was thinking it will take me a week to get rid of the weight that I gained during 4th of July weekend, I guess it was just water.
Yesterday I slipped up again, had fish broth and some fish from the broth for dinner. And then I had big piece of my favorite chocolate: Lindt orange, plus 3 strawberries. I'm upset at myself for the lack of willpower. My plan was to do at least 3 days of attack and I couldn't do even 1 day! Clearly this is not working for me. Don't get me wrong, the diet itself does work, when you stick to it:) I think I'm just tired and need to switch things up. Today I'm starting my experiment with Weight Watchers. According to their website I can have 29 points per day. For breakfast I used 8 points (I finally had piece of cheese that I was dreaming about!).
Snack: WW string cheese-1 more point
Just came back from lunch. Since now I have more flexibility and freedom with my food, I was thinking to have something extravagant, less protein, something like fruit smoothie and some peaches, or nice big salad, or even pizza! but I went to the store and got salmon tartar, which is totally dukan friendly, and pure protein.

Happy Friday to everyone!
Here are my stats:
sorry it's tiny, as you can see I'm not a techie
Long weekend is coming up and again it's a challenge, today I'm meeting my girlfriends at a bar for girls night out. On Sunday it's my brother's birthday so we will bbq, then next day it's 4th of July. Hopefully I will be strong and eat in moderation.
