Update
I am now just 5lbs away from 13 stone, 3 stones lost in 22 months.
I can't say it has been difficult or that I feel I have been dieting for ages, as it hasn't and I haven't! I have eaten less on 2 days of any week I have felt up to it and eaten what I wanted if I haven't.
No guilt as I spent decades gaining the weight and want this to be a lifestyle change rather than a quick loss and fight to maintain. I am happy that this is doable forever. I may even be in maintenance early next year - my target is Valentine's Day, but I'm not really banking on it. I'll get there when I get there.
So, 2.5lbs down this week and about 1 - 1.5 stones to go before I have hit a reasonable target weight.
I like this JUDDD thing :)

Salad in jars in the fridge
.... and I am all set for the week.
3 salads for Down Days, 220kcals.
2 salads for Up Days waiting protein addition. We are having crispy duck for tea so I will be adding the remains of that plus a little soy dressing, maybe some croutons too.
All I have to remember is to chop some cucumber, take some tomatoes and add some dressing.
Oh, and a fruit bowl at work will have to wait. My office is being used as a store room at the moment. Still, by the end of the week it should be clear.
I will begin losing again!

New Year and a restart
Well! I gained 5lbs in 2 months for not keeping my eye on the ball. OK the last 4 weeks have been a bit OTT with all sorts of Christmassy goings on! I can't really complain, but I must get a grip again!
So, I will give myself this month to lose those 5lbs again.
I need to get myself all organised, so here goes:
So, I will give myself this month to lose those 5lbs again.
I need to get myself all organised, so here goes:
- Get my gym bag re-packed
- Make a shopping list for quick lunches and big bulky teas
- Make a proper effort to stick to Monday, Wednesday and Friday as Down Days
- Use mfp to check all days kcal intake
There. Short and sweet, nothing to it, just get to it!
And good luck to anyone else who drops in to read this!

Just the one
Ah well. That's still a pound a week on average, which is after all what I worked out all those kcals for!
I am not sure why I was expecting more. I did lots of calculations to ensure I lost slowly and permanently. Now I want to see the kind of fast weight loss that I know is not sustainable!
Just greedy I suppose.
Anyhoo: September's target is purely based on DD successes as I go back to work and it might prove a little difficult until I get into the swing of it.

Well, 1 whole stone
I seem to have lost a stone, down from an horrific number to one that is only slightly less scary.
So I have a new short term target: 12lbs in 4 weeks. A bit fast, 3lbs per week, but I am quite determined to get back into onderland and being this overweight I am sure my body can do it!
So JUDDD continues - that is becoming a little easier to manage, thanks to myfitnesspal, and I start the couchto5K on Monday - UPDATE: couldn't breathe, so will wait until more weight is off.
So my next few weeks will concentrate on the walking, Wii Fit and the heavy bag in between days. I may actually do some belly dancing instead of the Wii, but I haven't quite decided yet :)
So, here I go..... well 1/6th or 16.666% of me is already gone.

Swapsies
OK. So I don't eat healthily. What can I swap?
Well, I don't take milk or sugar in my hot drinks. I already drink a lot of decaf tea, rooibus/redbush mainly.
I MUST take lunch not keep on buying it at work. The food in the refec is just laden with fat and kcals! Remember, it doesn't even taste good! So get listing lunches!
I didn't eat much in the way of crisps and chocolate - but have done for about a year, not every day, just sometimes. So I think I need some snack swaps too.
The biggest swap will be active evenings instead of sitting, watching.
So there are my first 2 swapsies:
1. Packed lunch for bought
2. Active evenings for sitting in front of the goggle box. Actually part of this could be to make the lunch! A twofer :D
Pick 2 more in September...
