    Yeah, I would always be unrealistic in my expectations. Like last week I lost 7.5 lbs..after 2 weeks of doing ww. And so usually, this week I would be like...I need to lose more!! But I realised early on in the week that I probably wouldn't have the highest week because I had such a big loss...

    Arrived home yesterday! Feel so good about being here, and having a break. Have had a nice hair cut and am just relaxing. I guess another big point about it all is that I feel in control of my eating which really helps me enjoy being home. Cos honestly the cupboards here can be hard to cope...

    I'm scared of the weightwatchers path again, scared I won't be able to do it, feel guilty for eating. Got so many issues to deal with. Surely weightwatchers is the best approach.

    Have I just! I am quite obsessed. Have series 1-7 on dvd and 8 on my comp. It's so good. have you ever watched criminal minds? That is like CSI but is just more about the psychological factors. Is great? Are you a big fan?

I joined ww a few weeks before I left Uni and I was XX.08 and now I am the stone below that. When I joined this time I was a few lb less so I've got 2 1/2 to go, but in my mind I know I...

    I do! Oh definitely. Food I mean. I am no way as excessive as I used to be. I generally eat very little before I am weighed, and then I get a mcdonalds, or KFC, or sometimes just have a cake. If I thought it harmed me I wouldn't, but the day after I feel right back on top of it again. I guess...

    Staying the same - 2 weeks running.

    That's frustrating. All I can suggest is that maybe you can make a few changes. I find that I lose loads first week because my body has been 'shocked'. One week i just had less bread and I found it made a difference. I'm sure if you kept going your body would speed up again, but maybe you could...

    Yes, that's exactly right. It just felt like I was being really bad and now that weight loss isn't clear on the scales (yes I weigh myself way too much) I blame it. I don't take scales as fact, I know how damaging it can be and how much you fluctuate, but I do like some sort of 'guidance'. I...
