Stillat 10 stone 0.8 this morning. Getting a bit fed up - not much energy and obviously bored of the plan! It's a good job I've not got a lot of food in otherwise I would've scoffed it all tonight. I did have adaim bar and a bowl of muesli but hopefully haven't done too much damage. Need to...

Weighed in at 10 stone 0.8 this morning. Had an ok day today, didn't manage a run but I walked to the shops to stock up on meals for my teas and alpen lights. I have a first date arranged for Saturday! I'm iust taking the diet one day at a time but will need a few drinks on Saturday...

My only advice would be not to be even stricter because you binged...it's a vicious circle! Your head wasn't in it and it's ok to start again. I've had plenty of false starts so far. Are you able to remove temptation from the house? If not why not make your own cupboard for your food and just...

How was your weekend Andrea? Xx

Had a good day today eating wise. I made pasta with garlic, chilli and lemon out of my weightwatchers book and it was ok but nothing amazing. I'll probably mainly stick to ready meals for now, it seems cheap and easy and easier to count calories too. I've got tomorrow planned out - pom bears...

Well done that's great :)

Had a bit of an off day yesterday but it wasn't a total disaster - stocked up on half price slim fast at super drug and am back on it today. Will try and make something nice for tea and tidy up so I feel better. Bought a new dress yesterday and I love it but it's quite revealing! Staying on...

I always leave a snack til 9 ( I have been having milkybars! ) then try and go to bed soonish after so I don't eat any more!

It just makes it easier to count calories and takes away the need to think about what to eat. I had a shake for breakfast and then in town had tomato soup and a roll (no butter) which I thought was good l, then it all went downhill when a very attractive young man gave me a free bar of galaxy...

Since Thursday I have been replacing 2 meals a day with ultra slim shakes and sticking to 1200 cals a day, and am now down to my lowest post-October weight of 10 stone half a pound! Have started a thread in the slim fast forum but I won't be doing it forever - when I get to my goal I'll still...

Weighed in at 10 stone 0.4lb this morning which is 2lb from yesterday and 3.6 overall! I can't believe it! Nearly in the 9s again :) and only 4.4lb away from my first goal... It's raining so I'm not sure how keen mum will be to go shopping :( Will try and get some actual slim fast shakes...

I started on Thursday and am somehow 3.5 pounds down after only 2 days!! Love it!

How's it going Neil? I just started yesterday so i'm no expert yet! Well done on the walking, it sounds like you're doing great to me :)

How's it going vixp? xx

Wasn't that impressed with the quorn meal :( but still have tonight's milkybar to look forward to ;) Been surprisingly full so far. I'm spacing out snacks and shakes through the day which is helping and I had a hot chocolate at lunch time which was yum :) Been for a run tonight and burned...

Yay that's great news!! Well done you! :-)

Weighed in at 10 stone 2.4 so 1.6 lost from yesterday :) Good motivation to carry on! Quorn tikka masala meal for tea yum yum :)

Fingers crossed for you :) enjoy your pizza! glad to see it's going well, its motivating to see that it gets easier!

I also boredom eat at work and have decided to go cold turkey on the office biscuits- once I start i can never stop and to make it worse, we have 'Fat Fridays' where everyone orders a chippy every week - I am going to have my shake tomorrow and no one is persuading me otherwise!! xx

Well I just started today with the Tesco ultra slim shakes but basically the same thing yes. It's only day 1 but it's going well so far, I've got a party coming up in a couple of weeks so hopefully I can shift a few pounds by then. I don't have much to lose but I'm finding it hard to lose the...

Hello slimmers :flirt2: I started on Ultra Slim shakes today as I want to lose about half a stone - 10 pounds in time for summer and have been finding Slimming World and general calorie counting a bit of a faff lately. I have had good success with Celebrity Slim in the past and like not having...

Hi Dan how's it going? It's cheat meal tomorrow woohoo!! :)

How's it going Andrea? Don't worry about what people think at work - if anything they'll only be looking to see in case they want to try it! I've done shake diets before and at first people thought I was mad, then in a few weeks they were all doing it too xx

No we couldn't get in so we went to the black house grill which is mainly steaks, they didn't have anything I fancied. It wasn't that great to be honest! I was looking forward to hickorys :(

I think it's time to get real... i've just been out for a meal and stuffed my face full of food I didn't really want! Fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding! I binge eat and i dont know why! My heart has just not been in it for the last week or so, although i have been doing a fair bit of...

Been stuck at 10 stone 3 for a while but just found my tape measure and my waist is now smaller than it's ever been, even than when I was half a stone lighter!

Yay so pleased for you!! Great that you can see progress with the running and getting smaller is so much more important than what the scale says :)

Thank you :) I never thought I'd say I'd ever get into it, I have done it half heartedly over the years but always hated it! Now it's good to see the calories racking up and i can see it being quite therapeutic - I was in a totally different mood after - calmer and happier. Tonight I'll either...

It takes me longer to psych myself up for a run than it does to actually do it! Why don't you sign up for a 5k race then you have something to train for? If not, just do whatever you enjoy, that's the main thing as long as you are doing something :) Yeah I saw davina I think she's a goddess...

How's it going? Hope you're still feeling positive! Xx

Just been for a 5 mile run! Well run/walk but I managed 1.1 miles without walking. I got into my stride after about 4 miles. I hate running but my exercise video hurts my shoulder so I might just get back into running. Davina McCall inspired me especially when her friend said she hates running...

Oh no stop beating yourself up!! You are here and trying your best and that's all that matters! I've lost count of how many diets I've been on and every time I slip up I say to myself I've failed again...but you've got to believe that this time it will happen and aim for progress not...

Yesterday I went over by 250 but considering I went out for a meal and drinks with friends I really wasn't bad :) did lots of walking and my exercise DVD so I'm feeling good about it. Bought 2 weight watchers recipe books so that I stop living off ready meals and potato waffles! Lots to do...

Whenever I've got my fella to hide them before I ended up begging him the next day to get them back out! But I know it would make me concentrate more on getting fitter and healthier and doing more exercise because at the moment I'm put off doing too much because of it making me heavier on the...

Wow they look fabulous!!! U clever devil xx

Never thought of having hot Choc for brekkie, they are surprisingly filling for hardly any cals :)

Yes I'm afraid so! But I had a small one so it wasn't too bad. I decided to stop beating myself up about it and have a 'day off' and as soon as I said that I didn't feel the urge to stuff myself as much today! Whatever the scale says tomorrow in going to have that as my new starting weight, tell...

Thank you :) I'm going to draw a line under it and start all over again tomorrow. Just planning my meals now...keep calm and carry on!

I've calmed down now. I looked in the mirror in the skud today and thought you know what, I look pretty good. Yesterday's binge didn't turn me into the 600lb woman on the telly last night. I just go a bit mad at lady time, I feel like I can't cope with anything, I get depressed and all I want to...

OHHHHH MYYYYY GODDDDDDDDD I've fallen off the wagon already :( My pathetic excuses are as follows: It's 'lady time' I walked into work today to a sight of biscuits, cupcakes, doughnuts, chocolate doughnuts and party rings. ARGH!!! I think I just eat out of boredom and tiredness. And I always...

Managed just about to stay in cals today and have planned out tomorrow. Having an early night tonight cos I am so knackered. Tomorrow's meals are healthier than usual with more protein to hopefully keep me full. Going to mums tomorrow to look after the dogs whilst they're away so plan is to take...

Well done with binning the trimmings!! X

Miranda was good but not amazing :-/ I overdid it on the wine gums and biscuits yesterday :( once I go over my cals I find it hard to stop eating! But I did squeeze in a kettlercise workout before we went which was good. Aching all over today as I did my turbofire workout the day before also...

How did weigh in go? Xx

Excited for tomorrow's food : Sesame bagel with chive philly light Blt pasta salad (home made, it's huge!) Jacket potato with beans Will sneak a couple of biccies at the office with my coffees ;)

All sounds yummy!

Had a good day today :) work was a laugh, we all had the giggles, ive stuck to my cals today and am even 150 cals under as I did my turbofire workout which earned me some calories :) I nearly didn't do it, but I made myself and now I feel so much better, I must remember this feeling! Also did...

Yay you're doing great! I've managed to lose 3 pounds too :) woop woop! X

Today has been a long day! I feel like I've lost my mojo a bit with the diet. I've been doing ok but when I've earned exercise calories I'm just eating lots of sweets which I guess isn't the idea! It's just a stressful weekend but tomorrow is a new day. Am also vowing not to buy any more...

Lost 2.5 in my first week. Hoping for 2 more this week :)

Fitnesse cereal and milk Subway chicken teriyaki sub Walkers pops crisps M&s count on us spaghetti carbonara Milkybar :-D

Don't feel down, feel great that you are losing weight! You're doing great :)

Not good in afraid :( I'll almost definitely going to have to resit but I just got to the point where I wanted to get it out of the way...so onto another one with a fresh start. I ate loads of rubbish over the last couple of days but I've done lots of walking so it's all evened out and I'm...

Oh my god lemon curd is on my shopping list now I luuurve it!

Ugh it's the night before the dreaded exam and I've munched my way through quite a lot of rubbish :( still tomorrow is a new day and I will get right back on the wagon. Will be doing a fair bit of walking tomorrow which should help control the damage of today. It'll be a miracle if I pass but...

Tonight I'm going to have some strawberries with a meringue nest and Elmlea, about 150 cals :)

Don't worry! You're still under 2000 which is great as that's how much a woman would normally eat. But blimey who would have guessed they'd be that many!! Good on you for keeping calm and carrying on :)

Thanks so much :) I'm only 5.5 pounds away from my goal weight, then I'm going to focus on getting fit and eating healthier. I've been dieting for at least a decade and never got to a goal weight that I've set so I will need to have a new project to stop me putting the weight back on. Today's...

Just weighed in at 10 stone 1.6 so nearly 3 pounds lost in 5 days! Yay!

Fairly successful shopping trip: Quorn thingies Sugar free pop Special K porridge Salted caramel green tea Maoam stripes (30 cals each) A milkybar Clementines Grapes Bananas Reduced sugar beans Sugar free jelly pots Jacket potatoes Walkers pops My trolley looked like I was throwing a party...

Hello :) sounds like you're doing great so far and don't beat yourself up for going a bit over! If i were you I'd eat at least your 1200 but just do what you think is best for you. I just know I couldn't cope on any less! Don't worry about the number on the scale just tell yourself that's the...

Down to 10 stone 2 today, started at 10 stone 4.5 :) Have told myself I can buy new hair extensions when I get under 10 stone so not far to go! fish and waffles in the oven and I had my fave prawn cocktail crisps at lunch with a salad - yum yum! Going to do a big Tesco shop today with my...

I think each Oreo is about 52. They are quite small but really chocolatey (I've got the chocolatey ones) so they do hit the spot. I have to try and forget about them in the cupboard!

Ive started having 2 oreos and a cup of decaf coffee :)

Still plodding along...lost another 0.2 of a pound, that's 1.8 so far since Saturday so not bad :)

Use them!! You're doing really well the omelettes sound lush :)

Haha I will check on here for gross things you have eaten before I buy any ;) I had tomato and basil chicken and wedges ready meal for lunch and it wasn't bad but not particularly good either! Good on you for being so busy and still CCing, you must be very organised!

Oh no I've just bought two weight watchers meals...tikka masala and chilli and wedges...regretting it already!

Good luck! :)

Yaaaay well done!! So inspiring :)

Oh and I'm seriously thinking of doing a 100km charity walk in summer, I mentioned it in work today and I think there might be a couple of people that will do it with me, yay! Let the training commence!

Well done on your run that's amazing! It's making me want to get out there and start earning serious calories!

Thank you :) Still on track, weighed in same as yesterday. Just had 2 Oreos with a decaf coffee in front of corrie :) Should definitely be eating more proper food and less convenience but hey I'm a beginner ;) looking forward to trying a few new recipes when I have a bit more time at the...

Today I had: Bagel with reduced fat pate Waffles, beans and a veggie sausage Chicken taco chilli and tilda Mexican rice Freddo Del monte smoothie lolly Tomorrow's plan: Porridge with maple syrup Ww tomato soup and bagel Aldi lemon sole, waffles and beans or peas

A good day today food-wise, not so much revision wise :S but the fear is dwindling, I think the exam will be ok (touch wood) A stomp around town window shopping for spring clothes earned me nearly 400 calories! Am not going to eat them all back but I did have a cheeky freddo :) tea will be same...

Wow you put me to shame with your gym-going!!

I work full time but I'm doing accountancy training in my spare time, it's a drag and I teach myself, and work aren't even paying for it yet! Rant over...I should finish this year if I put my mind to it. Normally I'd have a bag of sweeties to get me through but I just try and drink lots of...

How's your weekend going Rachel?

What's the worst that can happen? Every single person in there was a beginner ones, even the ones that are teaching the classes. Why not have a look on youtube at kettlebell classes to get an idea of the different moves so it won't be such a surprise once you get in there. Just do it! I went to...

I'm a daily weigher I know it bad. But down 1.6 pounds from yesterday! Wahoo :) Enjoyed my milkybar soo much :)

I made a taco chicken chilli thing for tea and it was yummy and filling! Got plenty left for tomorrow and lunches next week. Done 3 hours of revision but not been feeling too well so instead of my power walk I had a nap, oops! Stayed within calories anyway and have got enough left for a little...

2 hours of revision done for my exam next week - I have The Fear but I feel a lot better about it already! Aiming to do 8 hours over the weekend so a good start. Yay!

Well done! Out of interest are you eating your exercise calories back? Great to get the exercise done in the morning then you can forget about it...sets off a good day I find!

I am - I've done my back in lately so I'm going to ease into it over the next couple of weeks. I have 2 kettlebells along with the kettlercise DVD, and turbofire which is a lot of fun and some Zumba DVDs which I can't seem to get into...anyway enough to keep me going! I'm going to start off with...

Just weighed in for my starting weight of 10 stone 4.5 which is a miracle considering the junk I ate yesterday!

Wow 20 pounds is amazing! I'm just starting calorie counting today. I've done it years ago but never really given it a good go lately so we shall see what happens!

I have just seen this and can't believe no one has replied yet!! Please try not to beat yourself up about things! Don't feel guilty about the job thing, I did a similar thing by leaving uni early because I hated it and I had a long time of unemployment and felt so guilty about it. The important...

Hello all Tomorrow I am starting calorie counting so starting a diary to document my progress and keep me on track. Sick and tired of dieting, I only have 7 - 10 pounds to lose and it has been a lifelong struggle so far - I am just going to man up and get on with it! Aiming to have 80% 'clean'...

Good luck!! x

Well done on what sounds like a great start! I am starting tomorrow going to give calorie counting a good bash so am having a read of everyone's diaries. Good luck, keep going and keep letting us know how you're getting on!

tesco have linda mccartney italian sausages for £1 for 6 instead of £1.50, half a syn each :)

Hi Vikki I am obsessed with freezer cooking so pardon me in advance if i come across like a weirdo freezer fanatic! I tend to freeze things in bags rather than pots and then label them with the date, the syns and what it is (unless you like surprises) I got the book of free original recipes...

Hello ladies I'm starting again tomorrow, want to lose about a stone, I will be following it for at least 3 weeks so hopefully I can get near my goal. Last time I did this I lost 6lb in the first week and 12lb in 3 weeks, so I know it works!Well done you guys are doing fab xx

Hello :-) Rest assured that almost everyone on here will be doing the same, especially around this time of year - I was doing great yesterday and ended up eating 10 chocolate biscuits just cos they were there! Your meals sound great and good on you for going vegan! If you struggle with portion...

Hello all I have been on minimins for quite some time doing various diets but have decided to give good old fashioned calorie counting a go, as well as keeping most of the stuff I eat lean meats, fruits, veggies and low gi carbs as it makes me feel so much better than eating processed rubbish...

Good luck Laura I will be here to cheer you on, I'm going to start calorie counting too :) x

Good luck - Christmas is a difficult time to start but if you do your best on the days where you're not doing stuff with friends then hopefully it will motivate you not to ruin your efforts! Have you started the south beach now? I have looked into it a bit but daren't buy any more books! I found...

Hello, sorry I've not been on here for ages I didn't expect anyone to reply! But thanks for doing so! I've not been especially good lately with holiday and birthday temptations but I have definitely got into better habits lately and have managed to maintain my weight. Trying to lose a few more...

I'm starting tomorrow :) want to get another 5lb off before Christmas, I know it works! Anything to stop myself cramming chocolate in my face!

Ryvita fruit crunch with lightest Philly, a banana and Danio yoghurt

Back on the pasta n sauce today. Yummo. had boring lunch of Ryvita, Philly, Danio yoghurt and banana. some girls at work are doing insanity workouts and it has inspired me to dust off my old Turbofire DVDs... just need to cut down on the pasta, too bloated to move!!

Hi Debs my goal is 9 stone 10 by Xmas too! Have you tried eating frozen cherries when you wanta sweet snack? I of all people know sometimes only a Freddo will do! x

Feeling VERY ill today. Nauseous and headachey. Have taken paracetamol so hopefully should feel better soon. I don't think the Freddo helped. I told myself it was medicinal... First day at new job today...it went ok apart from I said the phrase 'okie dokie' about 15 times. NOT cool. But at...

Jacket potato with beans...not very exciting!

Yesterday was only ok. I lost track of syns but didn't go mental. Went to Nando's it was beyond lush. Then I had a Daim bar. My sneaky peeks are showing 2lb loss so gonna be really good til Tuesday and hope for another one. Starting to think my goal may be a little low. My top half is...

Hello all :) I got back on the SW wagon this week after losing my mojo with it and staying around the same weight (hurrah!) and am back to keep track of myself so that I can get to my goal, hopefully before Christmas. 9 pounds to go...Hopefully I can keep you entertained along the way... Start...

3 days done and feeling so much better already! I usually live off caffiene (fat burners/coffee/pro plus) but ive not had any today, and still feeling alert and more clear-headed. Am down 1.6 pounds from Saturday, less bloated and enjoying the food. Hurrah! I'm especially enjoying having proper...

Yay! Glad to hear you are still doing fab :-) x

Haha it sounds like you are a woman with a plan! Day 1 going well - bought the Low GL Diet Bible and the cookbook BOGOHP in Smiths and the recipes look rather scrummy! I don't get paid til Friday so can't go mad on the buying food lark but this is most definitely a good thing. B- scrambled...

Ooh good to find someone doing similar :) not sure I could go full primal yet but more power to you! There are kettlebell classes near me that I might start going to when i get more confident as I'm sure it would push me more. It's also a bit boring watching the same DVD over and over so...

Hello there (if anyone's reading!) I've decided to start a diary of my quest for health and fitness (again) I am a member of Slimming World but have been getting pretty fed up of it lately. I keep losing and gaining the same 2 pounds. I know it works but I just need a bit of a boost and came...

Yay well done you!! 3lb is totes amazeballs x

Sounds like youre doing amazingly! Keep up the good work. It's great that you are eating stuff that you didn't like before too :)

I'd really love to lose 3.5 pounds in the next 2 weeks to get into the 9's by my next weigh in as i'm away next week....then I will be close to my stone award :)

Dog farts are the worst, I feel your pain!!! I hate to have to tell you this but DO NOT DO THE DUKAN!!!!! I have done it and lost about 10 pounds in 3 weeks, but was miserable, stinky and my friends stopped speaking to me for these reasons. i barely had energy to get out of bed. i was lighter...

Well done Lauren that's great and you don't have far to go now!

Am at 10 stone 3 now. Will miss next week's weigh in as i'm away but i would LOVE to weigh in next time at 9 stone 13.5 - 2 weeks to lose 3.5 pounds is doable if I stick to it!

Good for you, these old farts need telling sometimes. I had to tell my nan off tonight a bit and then I choked on my steak skewer, karma or something x

I got mine from Kettlebells, Kettlebell Workouts and Exercises for Men and Women, Kettlercise but I've heard about Kettleworx as well but don't know much about it, that is more expensive. the one I got was about £20. I'm excited about getting going again and seeing the changes :) should probably...

2.5 on for me :( boo to the hoo!

Sorry if someone's already asked this but what's a chicken New Yorker? It sounds like it's yummy! x

Your mother in law sounds a complete nightmare - I'm picturing her looking like Miss Trunchbull from Matilda... Your consultant sounds naff too - is there another group you could go to instead of hers? x

I did my first session a few days ago too! I've dabbled in it before but I am committing to 3 sessions a week from now on - I have the Kettlercise DVDs which is one 20 minute express workout and a 50 minute total body one. Not sure if you've had a look into the DVDS but the ones I have were...

Trying to upload a pic of some size 10 jeans I tried on in TK Maxx today - they were amazing but too long! Only 30 quid though so I might just get them tomorrow or wait til I've lost a few more pounds as an incentive...Mum says she'll take them up for me...

Bit worried this week - it's time for Operation Damage Control... Been feeling ill today so have scoffed a tube of fruit gums, a freddo and a gold bar, and am going out tomorrow night AND sunday night with one of the girls from work - will stick to low calorie drinks tho no wine! The slutty...

Yay congratulations Natalie how exciting!! If that isn't motivation that I don't know what is! Good luck you will be fab x

Thank you :) Lost another pound this week, I was on for 2 really but then had a fair bit of wine last night! Hoping to get at least 2 next week but really as long as it's going in the right direction i'm fine with it. Going to plan my meals tomorrow to keep on track. Have made mexican rice...

Lost another pound this week :)

Keep going you are doing great! You will just be retaining water it will all come off, you'll have a great loss and that will motivate you. Keep the faith! xx

I am a little disappointed with my diet coke chicken :( it tastes of nothing! And the coronation chicken is nice except I will have to pick the bits of apple out cos they are weird. We live and learn. Felt skinny this morning so tried on my new bikini and I have to say I feel great in it...

Week 4 is going alright though my superfree seems to have taken a hike...never mind I have been to the asdas and am now cooking up a storm - coronation chicken chilling in the fridge and diet coke chicken is simmering away. I went a bit chicken mad... Planning on some serious cheesy aerobics...

This sounds lovely it will be going into my recipe book!

Sounds like you are doing great Amber and retail therapy always helps! Amazing gym sesh by the way!

Another good day today :) Shopping spree - got bikini (size 10 bottoms!) from Debenebenams for the spa weekend, I feel pretty good in it but room for improvement and 3 more weigh-ins to go so I think i will feel better in it by the time we go. Also purchase size 10 Warehouse dress in the sale...

Well done Tierney your losses are fab and a pound is still a pound in the right direction. Keep going and I bet you have a big loss next week x

Amazing week!Well done you!

I remember being ondiets or at least trying to lose weight and feeling really fat from when I was about 7 or 8 which is quite sad really as I was only a kid and not very big. Slimming World is the one thing that's saving me from being on a diet til I die, I'm finally conquering my demons! God...

well done Laurenypop that's fab! i know what you mean about the 9 stone thing! I'm now at 10.4 so hopefully not far to go :) my first goal is 9 stone 12 but I think I might try for another half stone after that. That'll be lighter than I was in first year of high school - madness!

I lost 3 this week! thank you Dazd for being a trooper x

Lost 3lb and got SOTW! Soo happy. 6 more til i get my stone award. Can't believe it has been so easy considering all the rubbish expensive starvation diets I have been on before and got nowhere. SW til I die! ha ha :D

Minimins is great you will find so much help and inspiration here. Good luck for weigh in i'm setting off for mine in 5 mins. Let us know how you get on!

Hi amber Good on you going to the gym anyway. You've got to be able to do what you want in this life, even if it's going to the blummin gym! Hope things are ok with you xx

Thanks amber - im feeling positive! How are you gettin on? X

Managed 13 mile walk on Sunday in 4 hours :) thinking about taking up running/jogging again too as walking gets a bit tedious after awhile! I know i've gone over my syns this week after the weekend so I haven't been tracking but I have been good and my walk burned 1500 calories. Think I should...

Bet you're loving it really Dazd! We neeeeed you! :)

Good work on the running ladies, wish I could run for 5k non stop...I might start the c25k too but need new trainers first. I think the more you start to improve the more you enjoy running its getting started which is the hard bit!

Here to subscribe! How are you gettin on?

Hi Bev Welcome! Glad you are enjoying SW so far, I don't have as much to lose as you but for a good decade have been constantly on diets and constantly feeling guilty about food. I'm on week 3 and am already feeling like this is the plan that will help me conquer my demons which I thought I'd...

Thanks veggiebev! Didn't go out in the end tonight but I have still managed to scoff 25 syns today - totally not worth it! I have lots of free curry and yummy lentil soup to munch on this weekend. Determined to get 2lb off this week so I can get my half stone sticker. Found a gorgeous perfume...

Hi amber sounds like you are doing fab! Have you tried the SW pimms recipe? Thought it might be an idea for your BBQ. It's just diet lemonade with balsamic vinegar and fruit. I made it for my friends and they all raved about it! Keep up the good work! Xx

Well done on your walk. Your elf and I have similar techniques vis a vis poos. x

A good day in warrior princess land. Made another batch of curry and had some with slimming world chips. Free soup for lunch eirh my ryvitas. Discovered activia yoghurts. Resisted the club biscuits and had a hot chocolate instead. Total syns 9 so 87 left for the week I think? Going out on...

I worked out if I lose an average of 1.5 pounds each week from now on I'll be at my first interim target of 1 stone in 6 weeks' time. That's not long at all! Bring it on!

I lost 1lb at weigh in Made the mistake of downing 2 pints of water before weigh in with the hope of peeing it out before the dreaded scales. I only managed to get rid of half of it so I weighed in and then peed like Seabiscuit during the meeting (I did manage to get to the loo FYI I didn't...

I am getting some good ideas from you vis a vis celery salt and maltesers teasers - 9.5 doesn't seem bad for one of those! They might have to be my Friday night treat this week...

Well done potato! I lost 1 and pleased with that :) will be a better story next week - was so jealous of all the fruit the sotw got :(

Lost a pound this week and aiming for 2 next week so I can get my half stone award. Counting my syns weekly this week and instead of starting them tomorrow I've counted my post-weigh-in ones too. 96 left! Fresh start gonna be 100% :)

Weighed in at 10 stone 7 tonight so halfway there :)

Please never stop writing your diary it is cheering us all up in times of diet depression. I too am weaning myself off the Danios. I only get them on payday :cry:

Glad I went for rocket lollies and not helter skelters in Asda - last thing I need is another addiction! :-/

Just made a big batch of speedy soup so even if I haven't had a great week's loss this week I have my secret weapon ready for next week!

Good luck Holly I bet you have a big loss :) x
