Hey folks, I've been away a while. Between being off plan and just having my gastric band removed I'm on a real low. I got my band out as it was making me struggle even eating a slice of chicken, I'd be puking for 2hrs plus and would you believe I'm a week post op and still having the...
I maybe did but my memory is not the best!! Hope you have a decent couple of shifts to help you through. I'm off for a week annual leave but I'm toilet training my 3yr old....... Stress!! Sometimes work is soo much easier!! Ha!! Good luck xx
Thanks autumn, I don't plan on any more!! I struggle at work as I'm a paramedic and often don't get proper down time for food etc so automatically I want rubbish but I will break that cycle!! Good luck for this week xx
No I'm on week 4 with a blip Easter week, I gained 3lbs!! That's why I'm as surprised!! I only got 1.5inch of both legs and arms no other inches anywhere xx
OMG, 9lbs off today!!! I've met my target!! I'm soo happy!! Hope I manage the same for May target!!

Hey folks, I need some advice!! I get weighed today but not until 13.30, am I best to avoid everything, water, shakes etc, until then or can I just treat it like a normal day?? All advice welcome and thanks in advance xx
I'd like to join too please. I'm having my final April weigh in on Saturday as I'm working days until tomorrow night!! So for the 4wks in may I'd have left, I'm aiming for 12lbs We can do this!! xx

I'm back on it!! This should technically be week 4 but I fell off last week so kinda going through week 1 again!! Glad to be back on it though, the carb withdrawal is nasty!! I should weigh on a Thursday but not weighing til Saturday this week as I'm working 12hr day shift tomorrow til Friday...
Oh, and as for the water, the most I ever manage is 3ltrs ontop of the product water and my other half only ever manages 2-2.5ltrs and I've never noticed a difference with our losses xx
Oh Sophs, I know your pain about the dentist!! I've had the same one since I was a baby and he laughs at me everytime I go, even for a check up, because I'm white as a sheet and can't talk for shivering!! We'll be wimps together!! Ha!!
7 days is a massive achievement!! Well done!! Good luck...
Thanks Tiggemma. It should've been Thursday but I work 12hr shifts and wanted to get those over with before weigh day and hoping totm goes by then too!! Anything for an extra 1lb or 2!! Ha!! xx
I've been night shift over the weekend and had also been very bad over Easter and the rest of the week!! I paid for it though and put on 4lbs!! I had the guilt thing and didn't want to come back on until I was back on track!! So far so good, had the dreaded headache etc on my first 2 night...
Well done on your loss cat!! Don't dwell on your 'cheat', as everyone else has said, it could've been soo much worse!! It's done, move on. Good luck for this week xx
Oh Sophs, hope your appointment wasn't too bad!! I too am a serial weigherer!! We really shouldn't as it's true that it sets up our mood/thinking for the day!! I keep saying that I'm putting my scales in the attic...... Tomorrow!! Good luck for 'official' weigh in day xx
Had my weigh in today, 5lbs off in 2wks. Not as much as I would've liked but not too bad considering the cheats this week. I also got my 1st rosette!! ? Only 6lbs from my April challenge!! I can do this!! Good luck everyone xx

That's a shame smallzie but at least it was a loss not a gain!! I'm the very same though, the minute I don't see losses I want to sabotage myself. I only lost 5lbs in 2wks but that's not bad considering how much I've cheated!! The plus side is I've lost 1st in 3wks and got my rosette!! Soo...
Hey smallzie, how did your weigh in go?? Mine is this afternoon and I've been on nights so not looking forward to it!! Never mind what will be will be, today's a new day. Good luck for this week xx
I feel your pain, I'm a paramedic and currently on my run of 6 12hr shifts, only 1 more to go!! I've had a bad couple of days but hoping it won't be too bad at weigh in on Friday!! Good luck xx
I wish I'd read this before I sabotaged myself for the past 2 days!! I hadn't lost anything in days so got soo annoyed and ate!!! Argh!! I wish I'd measured instead!! Oh well, onwards and upwards, or should I say downwards!! Good luck everyone xx
I bet it does!! In doing ok, although I've just had a wee cheat of a tiny bit of chocolate!! I don't even know why??!! Oh well, onwards and upwards. Good luck for this week xx
Good luck ladies!! Well katsparkle, how did it go?? Can't wait to hear. I'm at work on 12hr shifts today and tomorrow so hoping to do 2 ss days, fingers crossed!! xx
Thanks Nikie, I'm feeling really proud of myself!! Wasn't sure if I'd stick it at all. Hope you're feeling better now and the bugs are away. Good luck for weigh in xx
Thanks Selfie, it feels good to be back!! Hope you're doing ok too. It's not really a bad diet to be doing and with sites like this to help we'll get there. Let us know how you get on with weigh in xx
Thanks katsparkle. I'm really pleased although I'm having a very emotional day today as my sister left for good to Oz this morning ? I WILL RESIST THE LURE OF FOOD!! Thanks for your encouragement xx
I had my first weigh in today and I'm 9lbs down!!! Yippee!! Super pleased that I stuck it out between step 2 and ss+. Fingers crossed for a good loss in 2wks time, my cdc is away for 2 weeks as she's getting married tomorrow. Good luck everyone xx

Hey Katsparkle, I know what you mean. At my heaviest I was 19st 5lbs and at 5ft 1" I was as wide as I was tall!! I got a gastric band fitted in July 08 and lost almost 6st, I was 13st 6lbs and felt fabulous even though I was still overweight for my height!! Then I got pregnant and the band has...
I'm the same, I want the results now, not next week/month!! I'm finding it easier this time around, so far, although I'm struggling to swallow with an ear and throat infection. I'm feeling sorry for myself and trying to give myself an excuse to eat but I will resist!! It will all be worth it in...
Can I join too please?? I just started on Friday past so I'm hoping for 20lbs by end of April. Might be aiming to high but hopefully it will keep me on track. Thanks

Hi Nickie, I just started, again, last Friday and so far so good!! You've done it once you can do it again!! I'm the same about support, I can't do it without hearing/reading about other peoples successes. We'll help each other. Good luck xx
Hi there, sorry for the late reply, been in a bad place head wise so hiding out!! Just the usual behaviours!! I've put on about 6lbs but trying not to let it go any further. How are you getting on?? xx
Well, I weighed in today and I'd only lost 2lbs!! I was so angry and annoyed with myself that, what did I do??!! Binged/pigged out!!! Arrgh!! When will I ever learn??!! 2lbs off is better than 2lbs on which will probably be the case tomorrow morning. So far that's 11lbs in 2 weeks, which in a...
WOW!! Well done, that's fabby. I'm on week 2 and have been struggling too. If I'm honest I've probably had about 3 days off plan this week!! I need a kick up the backside. Good on you for not straying. Good luck for tomorrow xx
I've had a really bad day today!! Ate chocolate and toast!! Arrgh!! Soo annoyed with myself!! And to top it off I've had a banging headache all day!! Hopefully tomorrow is a better day. Sorry for moaning xx
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm finding some days better than others. I'm having the odd food when I really feel I need it but only one thing. I'm 5ft 1in and now 15st 2lbs, I know I'll still be overweight at 10st but it's a lot better than what I am now!! Good luck to you too xx
Hi there, I'm on week 2, 10lbs down so far, just hope I can keep it up!! I've got about 5st to lose but going to break it down into smaller chunks and aim for a stone a month. Is this too much?? Any encouragement, advice welcomed xx
