I've just remembered I came back and I'm back on it!

Well i'm back - i literally message on here for a while and then go when I fall off the wagon. Must do better.

If you need me to send any questions etc or websites, just let me know. Thanks for the kind words also! Trouble is, really need to do some exercise, just never happens. Zero motivation for that!

Hi - don't worry about your learning curve! The moderation aspect, for me, is the hardest part of losing weight. You cannot diet forever but need to realise that control has to come from within. Not sure I told you about the brownies my sister sent me as a treat two weeks ago? There were ten...

Ooo unlimited tabasco! How yummy! Ha!

I never know quite how to react when someone says you have lost weight. There never seems to be a right answer does there? It either goes into (well if you are me), self depreciating 'Well I needed to lose it as I had put weight on' which is like making a compliment into a negative thing or if...

These pictures look really good. Cannot believe how far you have come!

If you're on day 4 you are going over the worse bit, well done!

I did day one today..

All good but no fun on your own!

HI everyone, how are we doing? I've been binge watching 'It's your fault I'm fat' have any of you seen it? It's on 5star. I've watched 2 series in about three days. Teenagers who are morbidly obese. It's quite good. My sister sent me some brownies as a nice present so I have managed one a...

Does anyone else still do this?!

Hi sorry I have been away! How are we doing?!

I actually might start having boiled eggs each night. I used to enjoy them each night when dieting before. I think it is the time it takes to take the shell off which I like! You know what I have been eating a lot of though? Jacket Potatoes. I haven't had a JP in about 5 years but my OH has...

You cannot beat hard boiled eggs as something to snack on!!

I love your 'Well let's give it a go!' attitude. Don't believe everything you read off the internet though! I purchased a teeth whitening set yesterday. I've never really liked my teeth and I have been to my dentist previously to discuss work. I spent £250 on impressions which basically, give...

Hey! I am so pleased how well you are doing. I like the fact you have took pictures, it's noticeable. When I started CD on 17/2/2020, I refused to have a picture taken by my counsellor because I was so disgusted at myself for letting it all go wrong over the space of around 7 months! Or...

Hey! This weather is ridiculous isn't it. It's just too lovely to be indoors. My sister has convinced me to find my FitBit and do some walking. I did 4k yesterday, but she did 11k. I made it to 6k today. Whilst the weather is like this, i really ought to I guess!

For me they keep me on the straight and narrow. Numbers don't lie.

I read above as it was a good idea you having scales, because you saw you lost weight and didnt give in!

I took a look on the WW website to maybe order some low calorie treats. But it's a faff to order, wouldn't work!

Well done.

Welcome back.

Hi! Don't worry about missing my message! I was working today and I was so happy to be out of the fla.t I walked with vigour and when I went into school, people obviously hadn't seen me for a while and there were several comments about my weight loss. Yay! Good stuff. Need to continue really...

Tonight I have binge watched 'Fat Families' on YouTube. Do you remember that? I like Steve Millar's style. No nonsense and with medical information to back up. It made me look up Dominos takeaways. I love a Dominos but actually they are really expensive. I know that CD/DC are expensive but...

Aw thanks!

I am back in work on Monday. Haven't been in for three weeks so I am hoping that, dressed in casuals, people will notice a difference. I tried one of my TM Lewin shirts on this morning and still just a little tight. I do normally wear tight fitting shirts anyway but not this tight! However...

With CD they don't really allow you having milk I know, but my consultant said I could have skimmed in. Now I'm on DC - I know I am having around 1200 calories a day so I should be looking at a 1-2lb weight loss each week. I might try some clothes on tomorrow to see if they feel any looser...

Oh my word that is wonderful news! 12kg wow! It's so cool as well working out how to move your ticker along too isn't it!? That's so good, really proud of you! Interestingly I have been without skimmed milk for about 4 days now (have a shop coming tomorrow) and on Monday I had semi skimmed in...

Well im definitely not morbidly skinny! I cannot believe you haven't weighed yourself yet. We need to see figures!

They say things like BMI aren't a 'one fits all' guide. Take Peter Crouch - lanky as a beanpole, almost 7ft! He's probably got a strange BMI. as

You should look up the Broken Sword games but they are on PC/laptop, not consoles. I hope you are both doing well. I lost 0.6kgs (1.5lbs) this week. What word would I use to describe it. Hmm. Ok. Going in the right direction at least.

Theme Hospital and Park are classics! Will never be beaten! Have you played the Broken Sword series on PC? They are really good RPGs. All dialogue, humour and got to think.

Oh no! It's called World of Warcraft - I used to play it lots about 10 years ago but whilst at home I am giving it a go. The hours fly by though so I don't think of food! I might go on the scales tomorrow to see what they say.

Hello! I'm here. I bought a game for my PC whilst off and I have been playing that for about 3 days. Stops me thinking about food anyway. We all ok? Good to read that you are liking Exante. It is also good you are adding extra water as it all counts towards your intake doesn't it!?

I feel like I am stalking you...

Twice week for me! Mon and Fri

Weigh day for me tomorrow everyone. I am having a shake for lunch. It is 224 calories with the milk (see below) and it's one of the DC bundle so might as well get it out of the way. Today, I have measured out my skimmed milk into a jug so I know how much I am drinking. Would you believe that...

What about your scales though! Stop being scaleless!

Yes it is very expensive CD - I am hoping this month will be relatively cheap for me. No CD to spend out and the DC stuff came through last month. Oh and I will save £70 on travel this month. My OH spends £120 on travel each month so that's a real saving.

Good luck with this. It's all the same end goal we are all striving for anyway.

I used to half my bars and stick one half in the freezer lol.

Hey fellow night owl. Yes the eatwell plate is a VERY good idea... but will I use it?! Or will it find it's way into the deepest darkest cupboard left in the corner?! Hang on, deep breath. You always get a smaller loss in week 2 though don't you. Remember, LONG TERM PICTURE! Are you asking...

Well I had my WW meal tonight meaning the freezer is now at 95% capacity and not 100% and it got me thinking actually, that if there was an shortage of electric for any reason, I would lose all that food SO I think, my plan going forward will be to attempt to eat what I can out the freezer and...

I'm here!

Well I had a chicken and blackbean meal last night which was nice -I also bought these 90kal fibre bars when the were half price in my online shop so I am having one of those as as a snack in the evening. I had muesli this morning - it's just nice not having to have the shakes every day. They...

Hello! Welcome on board. Yes it can be FaeFaeFifi's diary, or Blubell's diary or even your diary steampunk. This site is really quiet (I used to be an active member years ago, in about 2010 wish but it's so quiet now. We were trying to start a revolution... wanna join? ;)

Yes I'm doing ok thanks - enjoyed my Diet Chef meals tonight but I also have WW meals in the freezer. I need to free up space in the freezer also so I'm spoilt for (diet) choice so I will see what I fancy tomorrow. If I lose 1kg this week, then that's cool with me as I am upping my calories...

Hello ladies. How are we both?! If anyone else is reading this, feel free to join our merry trio!

Well we have already made four pages ladies. I really ought to get my ticker sorted. I remember it from last time. I still have all my old weighing on my signature, ha! You won't believe what I am baking now but it won't be for me... in fact I'm not going to tell you as it won't be fair! Now...

I wouldn't say I have had great help from my consultant. I am not sure what she could have done, but I feel that each week when they visit for your weigh in it is step on the scales, right I'm off! They should have a line of questioning to ask - like a different angle each week if you get my...

Hello! Blimey, I go to work for a day and come back to lots of posts. Welcome here Blubell_. I'll respond more a bit later to you both but yes, I know Exante as my friend did this one.

Yes I was happy - 1.8kg off. That's over 10kg now thanks to Cambridge Diet. If it was me I would definitely want to have a set of scales. I find measurements are a little bit all over the place!

Well done. Did you say you don't own a pair of scales?

If I lose 1.5k I'll be happy. Anything else is a bonus :) Will let you know in the morning!

If I can recommend a programme it's Miriam's Big Fat Adventure. Miriam Margolyes. 2 parter and it was on BB2 this month.

Yes the quiz went well! It's quite windy outside today, makes a change from the sunny weather we have been having all week. I bet you are looking forward to your weigh in aren't you! What are you hoping to lose?!

Weekends are always the toughest aren't they. Have you been tempted (or even been) on the scales yet? I went on on Friday, and it said 1.3kg off last Monday's weigh in which was good. I have baked Quiche Lorraine, choc chip cookies and spiced nuts with cranberries over the past two days for...

I have a virtual quiz night tonight so that will take my mind off food!

Is the hot mint chocolate the shake? I have only ever had them cold. How do you do that?

Hi Liyah - yes make your own thread and I'll see if I can subscribe to it so I know that you have posted and I can reply. I am not sure about your figures there? I am saying it's a 3lb drop? Do you know, out of the replacements, the spicy couscous is my least likeable, closely followed by...

Hey - looks like you are doing well. Yup, done and dusted. Don't dwell - just keep on going! I haven't gone on the scales yet this week (I'm normally tempted by Thursday) but I might see tomorrow. When I started in Feb - I set myself a 1.5kg loss goal each week and after seven weeks I told...

You can interrupt the thread as much as you want to Liyah - as we need more traffic on this board. I have the booklet so can give more details in a little while. Keep on going.

Look FaeFae - you have practically made this board active!

Stop typing and start drinking! (not Gin...)

AND... it took longer to do than you anticipated, meaning your closer to finishing day one! I normally have my bar after my evening meal. I cut it in half, and have it in two sittings.

Was meant to be 34, ended up being 6.

A sky dive? NO WAY! I used to have a great minimins account, used to do my tracker etc but I think I have lost that diary. Never mind, although my signiture still has all my old target and weights. Thanks for the lovely teacher messages. I have been in today for key workers but not in...

I drink a pint as soon as I get up, no thinking just do it! That starts me off!

Drinking the water?! Go and have some now!

Hello FaeFaeFifi and welcome back to the world of CD. I simply had to post as you had put so much time and effort into your first post (pictures, excel spreadsheets etc.). These forums are really quiet (I sometimes wonder whether there is another group that I'm not aware of i.e. a secret...

Hey - are we all keeping on track still?!

Hey - just found your diary. Entertaining! Keep on going! I have made sure I have got about 2 weeks worth of CD packets in case of self isolation!

Hi. Try not to be too hard on yourself.

Hi Lala - yup getting on ok thank you! being extremely good I am. and you?

And yup yes you’ve guessed it! Back again!

Am i classed as a newbie if I haven’t been on here for 18 months?! Hello to you all!

We all have the occasional pizza, vodka etc. it's how quickly you can get yourself back ON IT which really matters. So I think anyway!

Hi Jenny - hope you are well. Sounds like you are a real agony aunt in your family. Remember though to give yourself some 'me time' and not be a soundboard for everyone. Have a lovely relaxing weekend. I've just bought a book on mindfullness which I'm looking forward to reading. Well done...

Welcome - and I love Bovril. Marmite too!

Don't get disheartened AT ALL. With you having 4 stone to lose, you will have ups and downs (no pun intended). YOu'll have a week where you lose more than you expected, and week's where you sometimes lose less. It just feels more of a kick in the teeth when you hardly lose even though you've...

It's tough starting when being ill. You need complete motivation and if you aren't physically well, there's no way I could do it. I hope you are getting back on the mend.

you've only 8 to go!

Is this thread dead now?! Well I'm less than a stone away!

Is this thread dead now?! Well I'm less than a stone away!

Brilliant George. What a handsome chap you are too! ;) KEEP IT UP!

Ah I just stock up my freezer with WW ready meals when they are on offer! Never look at the slimming world ones, maybe I should!

I love my fitbit cynical girl! Best present Ive bought myself this year!

Yeah not doing bad cynical girl. I was meant to be out tonight with my sister but she cancelled. That was a shame but it meant I was saving money and also not putting on calories. I've just a stone to lose but this is the hardest bit to lose! Thanks for asking!

Fantastic! Wonderful! Inspirational!

Welcome to the group and I like the 'bang' reference to sausages in the above post! :)

Welcome and good luck on your journey. Roll yourself towards slimdom!

Yes parisbeach! Need to sort out the ticker again! Thanks for replying by the way. ARe you ok?

Well I've come back on because yup, it's all gone back on. and a whole lot more :(

Hello everyone, sorry I've been away. I've still been a good boy though! I'll update the ticker. I got through a ten pin bowling evening, night at a gin club, curry and I'm not going to lie and say I did it all in moderation, I didn't. I just made sure I was right back on it the very next day...

Yes you can get rid of it! Then come back to the UK and enjoy fish and chips! (in moderation!)

We all love Olaf! :)

It's SUCH a good feeling isn't it blubex when you can go shopping and know that not only is it physically rewarding but emotionally and mentally to. We've all been there where we just think 'What's the point?' when clothes shopping. The conversations we play out in our minds but always...

Well done getting back on it!! I'm a sucker for a buffet...

HONK!

Hello everyone! So another week gone and I lost 2.5lbs. really happy about this as I was out on Saturday evening at an Argentinian Steakhouse! Keep up the good work everyone! Half term now which upsets my routine but hopefully I can stick to the straight and narrow!

Went out on Friday - canapes going round all the time, i didn't succumb to the mini beefburgers, lamb koftas etc but I did have 1 salmon blini. Plus I stood at the bar all night where there were peanuts and I didn't touch one!

A good nights sleep always helps and you reflect with a lot more clarity the next day I find. xx

Aw thanks blubex and Rachella. I lost 2lbs on Monday so it's going in the right direction! got my first night out in a long time on Friday though! be good!

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been on (I really need to put the website on my taskbar so I will always see it then!) Anyway, on the Monday just gone I lost 2.5lbs which was ok I guess! It does put me over half way though which I'm happy about! Have a good weekend and keep yourself occupied! Ben

Hi BlinkyBonk - weigh in tomorrow. I'm hoping for a loss of 2-3 although haven't done as much exercise as I would like and did have a cheeky Tia Maria and Diet Coke on Saturday.

You can do it blubex :)

Hi BinkyBonk - I'm still here but I've been in bed last few days with a cold. Woe is me! x

Chin up lovehatecarbs and here's to a good, healthy weekend before the Monday weigh in!

Thanks for the link! :) Keep it up! x

Remind me how to do SW chips again please Cheekypasterfield :)

Day 15 Well I've stuck to my diet and made sure that I'm hitting my water intake and doing regular exercise. As I'm no cook, I could really do with some inspiration to cook different things during the week. Partner is also trying to lose weight so I can cook it for 2. But like I said, I'm no...

well done! Keep counting those calories!

I'm always digging out my 5:2 book!

6 off! Very happy!

Wow I was away for a day or so and missed lots! Well done this weekend, and that's to everybody reading this. weigh in tomorrow morning, fingers crossed. Might try the SW chips. When you say part boil.... Forgive me I'm not a cook.

Weigh in tomorrow for me too. Yikes!

Cut your bar into small chunks and have a piece every 5 minutes or so. Or take a bite in the kitchen, leave the room and then if you want some more you have to go walk and get it!

Give it a go pezzhealth and keep me company on here!

Well done faye :)

Best of luck Liam! Great to see guys on here!

Yes I enjoyed my chilli and when I'm starting to feel peckish I just grab myself a pint of water. I make sure that I drink at least 4 pints a day (or the equivalent of 2 litres) as I think it's essential for keeping on track. Easier for men than women though!

Good luck and well done on the three pound weight loss.

I wouldn't worry BinkyBonk as you made SW chips so you're intentions are still good. The question is though, can you last the evening without snacking? I've had Chilli and a Jacket Potato tonight from the slow cooker. I've had a sensible portion with my Potato. Last year I would have gone up...

You are making the right choices though tink2011 so keep it up!

Just want to say fabulous work darling and no more of the keep on going LADIES in your posts as now there is a gentleman stalking you as well :)

Chilli with a small jacket potato and a WW rice pudding for dessert.

Hello all you lovely people and especially Rachella, Bella-Slimmer and Lovehatecarbs who replied to me. I always think the calorie counting boards are going to be busier but they never are are they?! I did try a pedometer out at work this week Rachella, I seem to do about 5,000 steps per day...

Fantastic looking great! You'll be saying "no carbs before Marbs" before you know it! X

DAY THREE Hello. How you doing? I have just realised that this has turned into a diary yet it's meant to be for weekly weighins so sorry about that. Just wanted to let you know that I'm doing fine. Drinking my water each day and I've been on the treadmill for the past two days, burning 200...

DAY ONE Ok so I went on the scales today and I was 14st 4.5 which is starting 5 pounds less than this time last year. I've been on the treadmill and walked a mile. Not much I know but 155 calories burnt. I'm a teacher of little ones so I am quite energetic at work which will help. I've also...

Thanks for the reply Lovehatecarbs and let's see how we do. I'll be weighing in in the morning but might not get chance to log in so will probably do that in the evening back from work. Ben

Ok.. here I go again. Have been a member for quite a while, always start my journey, always come off my journey. Always eat as much as I can the night before my journey commences. Sound familiar? Anyway, being a school teacher we start back tomorrow so that was a realistic start for me. My...

Can I ask when you all eat your evening meal roughly? I go for about 730pm, any earlier than that and I know I'm hungrier later on. Mackerel and pasta for me tonight

I officially weigh the least I ever have. I'm 12st 2.5lbs and really pleased. It had crept upto 94.4kg when I was weighed at hospital in January and when I went back last week it was 79.0kg. Was so chuffed. I'm keeping at it because I know the summer will be a bit of a blowout as it's holidays...

Hey minzi moo how are you and I'm back! being good? ben

Looking fab!

Hello everyone. Been away a while but now im back.hope all is good.

I've reached my goal! Woo-hoo!!!

Saturday 13st 11.5lbs

Of course you can mrsmca2b

Don't keep me in suspense! Did the 13 flicker?!

Lost 1.5lbs this week, bringing total loss to 22lbs! 8 to go!

Well.. that didn't take me long to read! As it's really just you and me! I lost another 4.5lbs this week bringing the total lost to 20.5lbs. I'm so ahead of my target which is April but I do have to factor in going on holiday for 4 days in February half term. I've been quite good this week...

Hi! Sorry not been here for a week! I tried logging on a couple of times from iPad but was more trouble than it was worth! Let me just scroll down the posts and then I'll reply!

Hi Minziemoo - another 4lbs off so that's 8lbs off in 2 weeks. I weigh myself at home each Monday morning and record it. Then I get to work, have had a pint of water, muesli bar and banana, then join work weigh in where I weigh differently but still lose the same (roughly). I'm a stone off my...

Don't tell yourself you are weak. Tell yourself the opposite.

4lbs off. Very happy :)

Don't get down MinzieMoo... Anyway, weigh day for me tomorrow. I have had my water intake EVERY DAY. Haven't had anything naughty. I'd hope for between 3-5lbs loss this week. ill keep you informed!

Same here MinzieMoo. Agree with what you say. I know that this sounds stupid but I weigh myself before having a shower and if I'm happy with what it says, I start calculating like mad with how much i've still got left to lose! Today showed me being 3.5lbs off. My weigh day is Monday.

Keep it up and I hope you feel better soon!

Welcome tjulie123

Hi Ben, hope it's going ok! (isn't Ben like the, bestest name?!) Set yourself some mini targets along the way to your 10 stones. I.e. 10% of your starting weight which would put you at 24st 11lbs. Then another ten off that. Perhaps go to the supermarket and try and hold the amount of weight...

Good luck tomorrow! Just been catching up on your post!

I try not to weigh daily, but I do at least weigh myself on a Saturday morning to see if i'm on track for my Monday morning weigh in

Honk day 17

Well done Jen!

oh good luck tomorrow then Donna!

4lbs off here, very happy!

I'm determined to get this board a bit chattier.. Surely lots of us are just CCing and weigh in on different days?!

Fantastic news! Well done you! Keep it up!

I've just had homemade chilli tonight for dinner and no idea how to calcucalorie it!

I'm glad to hear you are still feeling positive. Can I just ask, do these well meaning friends know that you've just started a long term journey healthwise?

THis is lovely of him! Great support, especially when you feel a bit cranky and moody.

and I LOVE your avatar!!!! Oh hi ;)

Hello :) Ouch! Pizza Hut when just starting your journey! I'd be interested to know how you felt during and after visiting PH. Keep it up.

Hello to the new people who have said hello!

Welcome to the website and forum Cate. Yes water is SO important. I find when I think I'm hungry, I ask myself 'Am I hungry? Or Thirsty?' Most of the time, I'm actually thirsty so I drink my water and it usually takes the hunger pangs away. Mind you, it is easier for us Men to drink the water! :)

Maybe I can resurrect the Monday CC weigh in thread. It was my first weigh in on Monday and hoping that I'll have lost at least two (hopefully more) pounds on Monday. Just booked a holiday for half term so I need to factor that in. 4 more weigh ins this half term and then 6 more until Easter.

Keep it all up. I'm reading it even though I'm a Monday weigher iner...!

Hello everyone, I'm back again. Was doing so well and part of a thread where someone posted our loss and how much to go. Logging on shows I'm back to being commited. PS just seen on the left, I'm back at my starting weight 18 months ago :(

Just checking in Miss Nix, in case you wondered! :)

Hello it's me! I'm back. Ok here's the truth. Four day bender, culminating in waking up on Sunday morning accompanied by 9 mcnuggets, mcchicken sandwich and half a box of fries. Where were the other half of the fries? They'd fallen down the side of the bed. My only excuse being that it was...

and you've completed the coach to 5k challenge! how was that? I've got the app... just never got round to doing it (like many things in my life...) and you are 'actually' running a race in June! how brave!?!

Lauren - your 3 month challenge, you are half way there!!!

There is nothing wrong with snacking you know... it's what you are snacking on that matters. Substitute crisps for carrot batons. Bulk up your dinners with loads of vegetables. Have you got a slicer? Always have something in the fridge to snack on if required? Do you like jelly? Make up...

and JD and diet coke - what a lovely drink!!! Have you had Woodford's Reserve and coke? It's lovely!! I highly recommend. :)

Chicken, rice and pepper.

and you do all this exercise as well!! Miss Nix - had my fave from Wasabi today - Chicken Katsu Salad. 684 calories!! :eek:

I definitely don't think I'll be losing this week (weigh in on Monday!). Had a big loss last week. My birthday tomorrow, OH birthday on Saturday where a meal and drinks are planned. Plus today, went to Wasabi and had my favourite which is Chicken Katsu Salad and a pint of beer. Put it into...

Looks like another great day for you! Dinner was chicken breast, butternut squash rice, pepper and a drizzle of soy sauce light Treated my self to a mullerlight 'deluxe' yoghurt. Can't remember which one it was but it had the word praline in the title! I've drunk my water for the day. Looking...

Yes, tell us what diet(s) you are following and more importantly, why?

Hello everyone. I've been good today after my random G&Ts yesterday! Special K for breakfast, a chicken broth soup, sugar free jelly and snack a jacks for lunch/snacking. Getting towards tea time now and that will be about 550 calories. I'm out for my birthday Saturday which is going to be a...

Erm... I don't know how it happened but I had a glass of prosecco tonight. Followed by 3 gin and slimline tonics..... oops!

Welcome! I think you've answered your own question with the scales. Don't weigh yourself everyday. i weigh myself twice a week. Once on a Monday, and then once on a friday morning to incentivise me for the weekend.

Ill keep everything crossed for you Miss Nix!!

Enjoy your holiday when it comes cookie!

Amazing running! I started at 48 minutes for 5k but now down to about 35 minutes. Ran it on Friday evening and burnt about 550 calories! be good if I could do it today!

Nearly entering June so you will have to think of your next pic mr caretaker!

Dont question Sophie, or pretend it said 3 and keep the other 2 pounds in the bank ​for next weeks weigh in?

Yes break int into small goals if you can. this summer would be good, try and choose a realistic weight to be say 1st August? oh and take pictures along the way in your journey. plus, is there a dress you want to get into? Have it out for motivation. Hope this helps.

4.5lbs off for me this week. Really pleased with that. I had to make some tough decisions this week with my social diary and I've been rewarded on the scales. Update your signature please meoww!

4.5lbs off Miss Nix! Better get updating that ticker! :)

and Green Tea is like always in the top 10s to aid weight loss. CAn't remember why.

Yeah hoping so too. Think this is my favourite subscribed thread on Minimins! Will let you know and if I've lost, my favourite thing is alterating my ticker! Love seeing it move along!

I don't think you were too bad yesterday Lexibell. Small piece of cheesecake etc. When is weigh day and if you were straight back on it, no problem! ;)

I'm a yankee candle addict. Me and about 20 others on Twitter are so we are very excited to see what it might be. I might stay on the computer and watch it (with account logged in ready to order!) Just had a mullerlight yoghurt as a dessert with dinner. Think I've had about 1400 calories...

I really ought to think about what to have for dinner... In two hours the day will have gone!

Sorry QVC (shopping channel) TSV (Today's Special Value)

You better do. I have Zac Efron (or whoever you might find attractive) on speed dial and if he hears you've been anywhere near the fridge, he's not coming round to your house!

Couldn't agree more with this statement. Cambridge Diet is not for everyone but gets results.

If you snack tonight MissSmileyBrunette I'll be very disappointed in you (disapproving look in my eye...)

Hey Miss Mix, I always love reading your menu for the day! I dont think i need to buy a SW syn guide as you normally put everything down in your post! Well I didn't go to the carvery. I know it sounds stupid but as I'm losing weight, I want to leave it as long as possible before possibly...

Thanks for the tips Miss Nix. To be honest, that's the plan I was going to follow anyway with diet pepsi or coke (instead of water for a change) As long as I've lost 2lbs at 7am monday morning i'll be happy!

Day four of what?

Well for dinner I've had a chargrilled chicken breast (215kl), jacket potato (175ish) and veg medley (75) treated myself to a luxury Marc de champagne yoghurt (192) and if I'm peckish later I can have a WW big jelly I've made. OH has had a Dr Oetker pizza (which I had to put in the oven!) and...

Best of luck with this, I'm sure some lovely people will be around soon. set yourself some mini targets as well yes? birthdays? Parties? Etc.

I've not done SW for a while. you get a choice of something from A and something from B yes? I forget... I always remember 10 syns in a pint. And worse chocolate fix is a Yorkie! done my online shop, no treats in it. I really ought to treat myself tonight to something though.

Yes welcome Sukie sue! hoping I can be strong this weekend, I was last night. weigh in on Monday. Hoping I can be into single figures for goal...

Of course you'll stay on plan! ive just had leek and potato soup and now eating an apple. had 2 pints of water too... 3 birthdays next week so I'm going to try and be good. only 11lbs to go! monday is week 6 weigh in

Well I'm just starting my week off work, so let's hope for a change of fortunes!

What games do you play then? We might find a common interest!

My dad is the only one in my family who has never been overweight. Fit and incredibly active at 76. Currently he's in menorca, loves walking he does. when he eats ready meals back at home though,we all tell him off for putting too much salt on his food!

Fantastic news! Great loss! Thanks for updating our 12 week challenge too!

Feel like you got away with one misssmileybrunette?!

Can't believe you did the coach to 5k!! How was it?!

That looks lovely. I never knew you could have such filling food!

Just to clarify, I mean age not dress size.

Looking at your picture I thought you WERE in your 20s!

You're welcome!!

I forgot to drink all my water today. Had about 6 glasses though.

I had a night OFF chicken and had scrambled eggs on toast. Not a WW loaf though, thick toastie loaf! lovely!

I love the positivity through your post! I lost 1.5lbs this week too so it's all good. I'm desperate to get to my goal. N my whole adult life I've been so close to my goal, closest I got was half a pound and then eventually it just started going back on. its because I have to introduce...

And how did you eat the kiwi?!

11lbs to go...11lbs to go.... Come on Ben.....

Well done on the loss!

Or think of something which totally takes your mind off food? or, do what I do and meet the challenge head on, watching programmes which are non stop about food!

Thanks lovely ladies. Had to force myself to eat dinner as I was just too tired to move!

Becky - thinking of you at this sad time.

Hi guys. 1.5lbs off this week. happy with that. Still not well :(

I actually was meant to go to a party on Saturday night which would involve food and copious amounts of alcohol but I was given antibiotics by the doctor last week who advised not drinking whilst on them. I was actually quite pleased to be given them as it gave me a ready made excuse not to go...

Is there anything that you can do which totally takes your mind off food? For example, I'm quite a big gamer. If I'm playing on xbox or PC, 30 minutes turns into 75mins and I get passed the food cravings as my mind is occupied. Something like reading doesn't work as you can still think of food...

you're doing well yourself! erm tips - be realistic, tell people you've got headaches when parties are planned, drink lots of water. I mean it, lots! When you have dinner, have your dinner, dessert and treat all at one sitting and then you know for the rest of the evening you can't eat...

Keep Up The Good Work! ;)

Hey ballymoneygirl. I really don't think that you have anything to apologise for for this weekend, even with the valid excuses regarding the transplant and moving. It was your anniversary, hubbie had booked something amazing for the both of you to enjoy. He wouldn't have wanted to drink on...

Set yourself mini targets Adrienne and be carefull of that social calender!

Hi Louise - how much are you looking to lose? do you have any targets? Not much information for us to go on!

Thanks Cookie but I know that if I accept that drink after work, it isn't a glass of red, it's sharing a bottle. and then it's sharing another bottle. I'm not going on that beach in the holiday the way I am. If I hit my goal earlier than intended, then I've got time for maintaining.

Hey MIssNix. I love your diary on here. I never post to say, just read but thought you might like to know just in case! KUTGW!

I'm avoiding the sunshine until i feel it's properly summer and I've lost some weight! I'll feel so much better and confident if my clothes feel a bit slimmer than now.

welcome! and less of this 'hello ladies' (there is a bloke lurking within this page too y'know!) I'm worrying about my weigh in tomorrow (5 week point). I've been ill most of the week and weekend, haven't been able to exercise and I wasn't even in work Thursday and Friday so couldn't even do...

I thought you'd like me finding a translation!

I find that if I don't go on all week I'm fine. But if I go on it ONCE, I can't help myself every day. then you start talking to yourself. "Oh if I lose a pound that's fine" etc etc

Jockey

As always... Chicken, rice, sweet corn...

Sure you will munchkin! Gets easier after today. Keep drinking that water!

You'll never bore on here with weight loss talk. Have you set yourself mini targets along the way?

Yey well done meoww!
