Thanks Taz I've never tried any kind of organised dieting... How does SW work, and is it expensive?

Starving myself! :doh: But I've not really shrunk... Those were supposed to be my after pics, but I let myself go again and now I am bigger than I was in the before! :doh: I alwas do this - I can't maintain my weight - I'm either binging myself to an unhealthy plus size, or starving myself...

See this is what pee's me off... These were supposed to be my "before" pictures: And THESE my "after" ones... Only now I look worse (BIGGER) than I did in the blasted "before" pictures! I can't even get those jeans over my thighs, let alone do them up! :doh: I starve...

Can I join in?? I'll set my challenge of 14lbs please? Looking forward to seeing everyone's sucess at the end of April! :D

Hi everyone! Back again... :ashamed0005: :sigh: Where do I start? I'm really determined this time! But aren't I always? :doh: Ever feel like you just want to stop eating alltogether... as you know this is the only successfull way you have ever had the motivation to stick at a diet, and...

Elaborate Facebook Worm Virus Spreading I thought some of you might be interested in this... it gives more info on the virus, how it infects your computer and what it does.

Think I need to come back here... :wave_cry: I let my diet go... and my figure has got totally out of control :( I had managed to get to a relatively slim / toned state... then just let it go and I'm BEYOND back to step one! My figure is hideous... Hubby and I want to try for our second...

Today's consumption: Ready break Pitta bread with cheese, garlic and onion Spag bol Olives Would have had an ice lolly, too, but on the first lick it fell off of the stick and onto the floor - The Universe's way of telling me not to break my diet?? haha

Weighed myself today (was in Wales, with no scales, on weigh-in day), and came in at 170lbs!! A loss of 7lbs since last weigh-in! Wow. No wonder I could do my own dress up for the wedding :D Chuffed. 9lbs down, Just 44 to go! :party0049:

YAY we got to go to the wedding! Got better just in time! AND that last little bit of illness had me fasting, and I lost enough fat to fit in my dress perfectly! :D I could even do it up by myself!! BRILLIANT!

Thanks Gemma. I still feel rotten, but not quite as bad as I was this morning - am actually out of bed, but not dressed anymore lol Poor Anna was so poorly earlier - her temp was raging high despite calpol, and she just wouldn't stop screaming. I've had her in just her nappy all day and she...

Ah you've come to the right place, Arran! I am a relatively new member on this forum and already I feel welcomed and completely surrounded by helpful and supportive friends :) Keeping a diary of what you eat each day is a good idea - it can help you to identify where you are going wrong and...

ALSO We're having to think about cancelling our holiday to Wales, and not going to the wedding we're supposed to be going to this weekend. We have plans to stay at my husband's grand parents (They haven't met Anna yet), but we can't really risk giving them the flu, as his grandad doesn't cope...

What's really hacked me off is, we saw an old friend of mine on Saturday; She came running over all hugs and kisses "Ohh how's my favorite little girl?" and then 10 minutes later, "Oh I'm ill by the way." :mad: Feel like phoning her up and giving her what-for! :mad: I mean, how stupid and...

Unfortunately, I got worse before I had any and had to go to bed. But my little girl is ill, too :( Poor little princess. It's hard enough looking after her as it is, and also hard enough being ill as it is, but doing the two together is just horrendous. Especially as she is ill, too. Ordinarily...

Today's consumption: Beans on toast Curry with pasta Might have some strawberries before bed as I don't feel well (cold/cough) and I'm convincing myself they might make me feel better! Ha!

Lol thanks, Gemma. I'm feeling like sh*t today tbh. I know why I'm doing this but I just keep thinking of things I could eat and how good that would make me feel... and I am having to fight so hard not to say "stuff it" and just give in! But, I am committed to changing this time and I really...

I feel like dieting is making me miserable: I just want to go and eat crap as I think it will make me feel good - but in the long run I know it will only make me miserable when I get the guilt-wave and keep this horrid tummy... It's really a horrible catch 22 situation.

Awwww! You made me want a puppy now! haha - At least he would force me to get some walking exercise every day! lol Lovely photos :)

Glad Hammond brightened your day with a giggle, yo-yo-dieter :) Today has been a day off, and weigh-in-day(!) as some of you know... I went to music on the meadow, an event at my home-village St Osyth. It was fantastic, although I sort of let my diet go. 'Sort of', quite a bit actually... I...

Glad you enjoyed your night out :) Like you say, a night off is fine if you allow yourself it and you get back to your plan afterwards - the odd night off could even be a part of some people's plans. You're doing great :) Wish I could find your positive attitude and steal some for myself! haha

Thanks, Taz. Am trying to get positive again - sooner rather than later would be good! Focusing on positives, and trying to remember that there's no rush - I have plenty of time to get the weight I want to be at. Am panicking slightly about the wedding next weekend, though; Have just one...

Aw wishing you happy day to, Gemma! :D Sounds like you had a lovely day today. Glad you enjoyed your walk :) Good day for you: All healthy food and lots of exercise - well done! x

Thanks Bobwillbethin :) With the mood of the moment, I forgot to mention today's highlights: Walked 1.5 miles SUPER fast, more like ran really - whilst pushing my husband in his wheelchair and my daughter on his lap! (Was hard work) Have done about 1 hour in total on the slendertone, and...

Thanks for the support, Time Lady :) My low and negative mood is probably not helped by the fact that my house is a mess (Again!) and my tummy feels bigger and fatter than ever... :( I'm sure, though things will look up soon - tomorrow is another day after all. I am dreading the weigh-in...

Really didn't feel like eating today. Feel crap about my body. But have eaten: A vegetable lasagne with salad and a tofu curry. Sometimes eating is just as hard as dieting! All about the will-power. I always regret eating at all as much as I regret eating too much, because the first tends to...

Today's consumption: Mozzarella and tomato panini Vegetable chilli Nuts, seeds and raisens Packet of crisps :break_diet: HOWEVER I have also exercised a lot today, so hoping the crisps don't count for now! haha

Thanks Time Lady :) Slendertone arrived today :D Was surprised how much like hard work it resembles! haha Really feels like it's working, though - have to fight the temptation to wear it constantly lol Apparently you need to wait 6 hours between 20 minute sessions. Shame... I'm feeling much...

Hey, Glad to hear you've had another great day! You're doing really well :) Wish I'd done like you and tidied up this morning. I had a lazy day, and feel quite down - It's only in reading this that I've considered that maybe the state of the house, could have something to do with the state...

Feeling a bit like poo at the minute. Not sure why - What's changed since yesterday? Not much. Just want to eat and eat and eat. Trying hard not to. Anyway, today's consumption stands thus: Fried egg sandwich Nuts, seeds and raisens Chip-shop chips Bread-crumb-coated, deep-fried brie...

Oh my goodness! - Could have been me writing every word! You're definately not alone. :hug99:

Argh! I hate to sound fussy, or pedantic, but there's no such thing as a vegetarian who eats fish - Just pescetarians who don't know their real name! haha It really bugs me when people say "I'm a vegetarian, do you eat fish, too?", or when I'm out and ask for the vegetarian options, and am...

Well it was 6 months after turning fully vegetarian, but before that I was a pesketarian (ate fish) also for about 6 months. So the second photo was taken about a year after the first. I didn't notice at the time, but looking back on it it's amazing! Can't think of any other way that my...

Astonishing! - The effects of turning veggie? Was just looking through some old photos and found these: Before turning vegetarian (14 years old): (I’m the one at the back with my arms wide apart) What would you say? Size 8? Smaller even?? (Yes, there was such a time that I was skinny…)...

Okay, I couldn't resist! Just a few photos ;) Just born - A little poorly :( One day old: Tiny, little feet: "Oh God, What has Daddy dressed me in this time? :rolleyes:": With her uncle (my baby brother): Shower time! The joys of co-sleeping: Little...

Oh wow, Pam! What a precious and stunning little bundle of love! She's gorgeous! Want to post a photo or two of Anna, but where would I start?? There's so many and of course, as her mother, I think that they are all exceptionally gorge! haha

Haha, Very good.

Well done on holding out for dinner tonight, Gemma! That can be really hard sometimes can't it! I was so proud about waiting for my dinner tonight (it was hard, but it tasted 10 times better because I did!) and you should do, too! It's little achievements like this that prove you have the...

The Best Curry in The Universe!! Anyone who has ever worked hard on a diet, and I mean really hard! will know how DEVINE a slap-up meal can taste at the end of the day - Perhaps because you're so damn hungry by that point that anything could taste nice?? haha I ate the minimum amount of food...

Don't give up! You don't want to be in this place forever; you want to get to 11 stone, and you know that work is needed to get there - what you're lacking is not motivation or understanding the problem, it is the self-belief required to put in the effort to reach a solution. I know you can do...

Hey, Barb :) Wanted to congratulate you on the 2lb off this week; Well done! I had a similar experience regarding the scales-thing recently: I had a few people round this week, and when they weighed themselves at first, they were saying things like "Oh, I've lost half a stone!" or "Wow, I've...

Looking fab! And you can definately see the weight loss on your legs! You're doing really well - keep it up! :)

Today's consumption: Today I have eaten: Three bananas :o A chocolate Ice Cream cone... :whistle: Anna's baby Farley's rusks (4 of them) Some nuts and seeds. A vege pie, peas, wedges and onion gravy. HOWEVER to make up for the booboos of ice cream, biscuits and one or two many bananas haha I...

Mmm that is what worries me about these sorts of plan: I am prone to binge eating... I tend to swing from binging and starving myself. Hmmm. Anyone know any plans or diets that would help me to overcome that particular problem? I seem to be doing okay at the moment, just by eating very little...

Hey Taz, Thanks for the reply :) What is Slimming World exactly? Is it just a plan that you follow or a group or...? How much does it cost to follow?

haha! No, I'm not that unrealistic lol I'm hoping to fit into my dress next month (size 14) but when I am 9 stone I'm hoping that will make me size 8! lol Thank you for your concern and well wishes x

Thanks, TimeLady! Good idea about writing down what you eat all day... I think I'll take that on and record it here :) Today I have eaten a banana for breakfast and a vegetable-brie crumble (one kitchen experiment I won't be trying again! haha) for dinner. I feel pretty good :) I've also...

Since I aim to stay motivated on this new diet / exercise thing thing and fully intend to loose the weight / tone up my mummy tummy, I have created this model to show my body as it is now, and how I want it to be at the end of all this: Body now: Desired Figure: (For I am too wussy...

I am doing some toning exercises to try and get rid of my saggy tummy... but if I'm honest I don't do them every day and probably should! I do walk into town and back most days, which is about 3 miles... I haven't got a specific diet atm - I'm just trying to stick to breakfast, lunch and...

Thanks everyone :) Nas: My daughter is 15 weeks old. I'm trying just to cut down what I eat really... I always get a good meal at the end of each day, but I've been told it may be better to eat little and often? The trouble with that is, I can't seem to stop once I start... so I end up just...

Okay, here we go; Bye bye baby body!! I have decided to loose the baby belly. And as simply as that, I am going to. What this will involve: No more crap food - breakie, lunch and dinner ONLY (and a whole big plate of last night’s dinner, or 6 cadbury cream eggs / a packet of biscuits does NOT...

Hello all, My name is Tasha, I'm a 19 year old mummy from Essex, and I've decided to loose some weight and tone up my body as I am still very young - As a teenager I do not feel that I should look like I do - which is flabby, fat and blatantly unattractive.... So I'm joining you loverly lot...
