Weight: 14st 10½lb
Loss so far: –4½lb 🎉
Today was full with client and colleague commitments, but planning my food in advance made it stress-free. Joining my colleague at the café was easy because I already knew what to ask for, salad with ham, keeping it simple and satisfying. Taking fruit into work gave me healthy options to graze on without reaching for anything off plan.

Reflections
Today was weigh-in day, marking two weeks of Back to Basics. No matter what the scales show tonight, I’m already celebrating the fact that I’ve stayed consistent, even through challenges and busy days. Taking an Optimised meal to the church celebration last Sunday proved that with planning, I don’t need to miss out, I can join in wholeheartedly and still stay on track.
I’ve stayed fully on plan today, balancing Free and Speed foods with some carefully chosen Syns. The Quavers gave me a savoury crunch, the cone made for a sweet dessert, and fresh cherries added a natural treat too. With weigh-in tonight, I feel proud that I can enjoy variety, balance, and flavour while still being 100% in control of my journey.
“Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:4)
