I think we are stuck in a bit of a holding pattern here; 'lose some, gain some, lose some, gain some'. I'm getting a bit tired of it to be honest. 17 stone 9 pounds now, which - although actually 2.2 - represents 3 pounds on.
Of course there are understandable mitigating circumstances - birthday indulgences at the weekend (I think I ended up polishing off the best part of two-thirds of the birthday cake!), and general high-spirits of having a weeks holiday - but at some point i need to break this cycle and keep the downward trend going to the lower 17's (and beyond).
The temptation is to conclude that doing it this way - blogging, sharing, running etc - isn't working; give up on the whole thing and try something different. Mistake!! This is the desperate trap which people I am sure fall into; jumping from diet to diet, regime to regime, not giving them nearly enough time to take effect; failing every time, and in failing, more than likely PUTTING ON weight instead of losing it (see earlier post)). I have no intention of doing this. Instead what I am going to do is back myself. I am confident that what I am doing is the right way (for me at least), and even in the face of a bad week I am going to stay true to it. Even in the face of four consecutive bad weeks, I am going to stay true to it! My methods and I are being tested (I'm sure I saw a guy in a grey suit a trilby hat in Tescos yesterday.......). but I believe in them.
I just need to get back to what worked in earlier weeks. One meal at a time, plenty of salad, and a session or two on the Wii Fit to compliment my badminton. Keeping it very VERY simple.

You are so right ... keep going and all will come good. Am proud of you for sticking with it. As you say, one meal at a time, one mouthful at a time, and you'll get there.
Big hugs,
