So I knew that Friday and Saturday were not going to do my diet any good as I had two big social events planned one where we were going for a Chinese meal and one where we were going for Indian food.
I was good when we went for the Indian Meal, I didn't have a starter or Pudding, I only had one Poppadom, I had Badam Pasanda and Mushroom Rice. It was beautiful. I actually ended Friday within my Calorie limit so that was a success.
Saturday on the other hand, when I went for a Chinese Meal I ate way to much, I showed Zero self control and I dread to think how many calories I consumed.
I knew I wold wake up heavier this morning and I indeed have at 14 stone 5 this still means I have lost 2lb this week and hopefully if I get back on track today I will be able to add to that loss as tomorrows weigh in will be the 1 week mark.
My goal is only 1.2lb per week so it will still be a success but I wish I shown a little more restraint yesterday :/

I find it a lot harder on the weekend, too many temptations.

Your goal is not too far off from what experts say you should strive for when trying to permanently loose weight. They suggest a goal of 1 pound a week; if you lose too much weight at one time, it will be hard for your body to keep the weight off, or so they say.
About 10 years ago when I decided I needed to lose weight, I set my goals a little differently. I didn't go by weight (I didn't want to become obsessed with checking my weight all the time), so my goal was to burn 500 extra calories per day through exercise.

This is a good method, I like to focus more on measurements in general but as I still can't train for a while I think checking the scale keeps me on track even if it isn't the best way to do it.
I know that crash diets and quick weight loss won't work which is why I am only aiming for 1-2lb a week. It is my habits I need to change which needs to be permanent.

@Shellyjane How does the saying go? "Slow and steady wins the race." I think that's it!
