2lb for me ... Not quite reached the ten pounds but a wobble last week was responsible for that. Bring on September and well done everyone xx

Just a pound for me this week. Disappointing but I know why x

Where do the days go ... It's been a rubbish week but I've lost 2lbs and spent the last two days on a very active training course at work so my body magic time is well up! Hope you're all ok xx

Well done everyone! 2lbs off for me this week

Walked sat and sun but failed today .. Will make up for it tomorrow x

Hi everyone - where did the weekend go? I chose sea bass and fresh veg when out on Saturday and synned a scoop of ice cream. Work has been tough today so I've completely forgotten about Sunday already though I know I was on plan. Food wise been not to plan today as was too tired and upset to...

Brilliant!

Well done you!!

Wow Ruth you looked fantastic and the meal looked amazing! You're so right about SW fitting in with life .. That's why it shouldn't feel like a diet but a way of eating. You've also reminded me I have a slow cooker in the cupboard that I've never used ... I might be back for some inspiration x

Off to Sheffield today for stepsons birthday lunch. Have checked the menu and chosen best option ( cod loin with bacon and fresh veg ) .. Will just need a word with them to cook them with no sauce/butter. Will save syns for a glass of wine or dessert if there's something light Have a good day...

I did my 30 mins Yesterday walking through Nottingham uni grounds. I had a meeting at a building low down and deliberately parked in the furthest away car park which is also at the top of the hill. My legs certainly felt it on the way back up!

Thank you! X

Gin and tonic .. A perfect use of syns! I was going to suggest maybe low magnesium .. Could you build in a spoon of peanut butter into your day? Maybe scraped onto Apple slices? I have a severe b12 deficiency but dislike both pb and choc spread so don't crave them lol

Thanks! I'd prefer to be outside, but not with gravel rash lol ....I'll get there :-)

Thanks Hunny xx

4lbs off for me this week...first week so it's helping motivation :-)

4lbs lost .... Not bad for first week I guess? Need to try and stay on plan next week, eating enough was the problem this week! Thanks for everyone's encouragement across the boards X

4lbs off for me ... First week and not all to plan (under not over eating ) so I'm pleased

Hi Quins, Thanks for your encouragement! Unfortunately I have to drive to work as I need to be mobile when I'm there and our office base is 50 miles from home, yesterday I was visiting a service a bit further away from that. I do know that especially the home commute is a danger zone for bad...

Morning everyone... Decided not to just crash and burn last night after a long day and a lot of driving so I went to the gym. Got there just before 9 and stayed til it closed at 10. Managed a mix of cycling, treadmill walking uphill and rowing and clocked up 11.5km. Just have to keep it up now...

halos definitely earned !!

After my spontaneous hour and a bit at the gym last night I'm feeling positive ... Fingers crossed x

Well done I like the idea of hooping but I have balance problems so it might be disastrous lol

You're doing brilliantly! You inspired me to get my bum on a saddle and I've just done 7k at the gym - small start but I did it ( plus walking and rowing )

Just back from the gym and managed 2k on treadmill, 7k on the bike (25 mins each with a cool down) and 1.5k row - I broke my elbow last year so need to take that in small bits. I also checked how far is walked in hull and it was 4k so that was around 15km in total !! Best of all I braved being...

Decided I could do better than that today so I've dragged my butt to the gym. Going to do a mix of walking on an incline and cycling

I'm tired just reading that Mary! Well done I walked more than my 30 mins today around Hull city centre as I had a meeting and parked far enough away to make it a good walk in and back I've not been into hull before either lol

That looks amazing Hunny!! I might try it with some gf pasta.

Hi Ruth, hope you're managing to get some chilled out time and sorry to hear you had a rubbish afternoon. Let's hope tomorrow is better x

Thanks hunny that's really kind of you xx Work has been really difficult this week but today was better and as I was out and about I had a jacket potato and salad at lunch time. Just home now so will go and find my tea. Looking forward to the weekend already :) x Oh, and weigh in tomorrow- eek!

Everyone's doing brilliantly ... Hoping to fill my square with green tomorrow! X

I chuckled at the cheesecake too ! 2.5 is 2.5 but I understand how you feel. We just have to remember some weeks we'll be the tortoise not the hare... And give us a bit of time and damn fine tortoises we'll be lol

Wow that's fantastic!

Thanks hunny

Thanks Jodie

That's brilliant. Well done. I'm struggling in My first week but I know I can do it, just need to stick at it and try not to let stress get in the way x

That's a really interesting discussion about why and how we set the targets we do. I'm hoping to eventually go below what I've set but i worried if I put it too low to start with it would feel an impossible journey and I'd give up My current target will put me below my OHs weight too and that...

Well the meh-ness continued esp as I ended up working until 10.30pm. Only two days back at work and already stressed and not sleeping .. Didn't eat nearly enough yesterday which is unhealthy and won't help me lose weight. Hoping today will be better. Need to get Back to the gym, get over my...

That bruise was pretty impressive! I'm so stressed after just two days back at work ... Making myself go to the local gym will help , I just need toget over the fat girl complex!

Failed to get out yesterday as I ended up working til 10.30pm having left house at 7.30am! I walked up and down stairs 5 times before bed. Will do extra today

Ok you two, you know I'm going to cry if I just get a pound or two on my first week now lol

Same here, bit of a shock from the heat and sunshine in Portugal last week! Got the miseries today...be better tomorrow X

You're so pretty! Can't wait to see the picture for this year :-) x

Those delayed muscle pains are horrid aren't they !

6lb ... Well done!!

Brilliant!

Having a bit of a rubbish day at work and desperately trying not to slip into comfort eating. Have enjoyed my lunch of ham, coleslaw and crispbread (gf) with fruit Have a yoghurt for before I head home so I'm not tempted to stop anywhere. I have a 50 mile journey that takes well over an hour...

Fantastic!!! Well done you:-) see you on the way down !!

Today's been a good day food wise...I couldn't even eat all my lunch and I wasn't starving on my drive home. Sweet potato wedges and cooked chicken salad for tea and I'm full So tempted for a sneaky peek on scales but trying to resist...first weigh on Thursday and really hopeful for a loss

Wow that's great !! You're so close to your 2 stones :-)

Fingers crossed I do ok on my first weigh on Thursday now ...you've set the bar high lol X

Yeyyyyyyy!!! I've been thinking about you all day!! So chuffed for you Hunny ...brilliant :-) :-)

Ouch that's a serious bruise! I walked my half hour today. Cleared my head a little after a busy first day back at work. Looks like we've all done well today :-) X

Woohoo...well done!!

Hi Quins. It's stupid o clock so I'm on my phone and can't open your pictures to make them bigger but I recognise the Kent coast there? Kents my home county though I'm now in the East Mids. That's a lot of miles you've covered today!

Found the right thread so have posted there :-)

Ok, found the right thread. I commit to 30 mins of walking/cycling/swimming everyday - getting back to the gym or just around the village I want this weight off!!

Hi there... Your post made me both chuckle and want to weep with empathy too. Well done for taking that first step and welcome to a fab place to be. I'm new too, but I was here s few years ago - but this time it's for real! I know I need people to bounce off on the good days and the crappy ones...

Back to work tomorrow. I can't control what might have happened but I can control what I eat. Salad, ham, melon, yoghurt and some nectarines in case I'm still hungry. Orange balsamic vinegar for the salad. I've set a ten pounds loss for August and it's my first week restarting SW so fingers...

Hi ... I need something to get my butt back into exercising so I'm in . The more things I commit to the better chance of success - especially if I can be part of a group motivating each other

I know... It's always so disappointing when new things come out and we can't have them.

Well they say if you're hungry then you're not doing SW right! Good luck for tomorrow xx

They are bfree ones and I found them in tesco .. I'll let you know what they are like. Most gf stuff is pretty grim isn't it lol

Don't be nervous .. I'll have my fingers crossed with you. Remember if it doesn't come off this week it'll add to next ! What time do you weigh?

A good day yesterday and so resisting jumping on the scales! Out for a late lunch with partner and his dad so I've already scoured the menu for best choices. I know they cook from fresh so I can ask for a few tweaks to make it SW friendly. I might even brave the gym later this evening when it's...

It's ridiculous and what you get can be horrible too! Lol

Hi Ruth .. I was the same for many years, including dairy but I'm ok with that now unless I've been glutened. For the most part I eat clean as I really don't like gf bread and its extortionate for what you get. I do have gf pasta maybe once or twice a month and occasionally the bfree wraps. I...

That sounds delicious! And has rice noodles so I can eat it. I'm not usually a lamb fan but this is tempting me. Wish it was smell-o-vision lol

Lots of good ideas there...I'm coeliac so a bit more limited in choices - can't even have my beloved mikado any more , sob sob

Not too bad thanks, washing from holiday and groceries to fill the fridge back up. Trying not to think about work on Monday ! It's been nice to just be a bit lazy. I've started a diary thread, but not a good specific one. Maybe I should swap over..I'm just rubbish at remembering to take photos...

Thanks Hunny, I'm coeliac so can't have them unfortunately . Wish they'd bring out some gluten free ones

Mikado sticks are good, as long as you can resist eating a whole box!

I do that too, too worried about eating the wrong things and usually too full! Do you like sweet or savoury syns?

Hi Ruth, got to love primary for fun things! I've bought stuff just for he fabric and turned them into other things lol I've been half heartedly doing it for a few weeks, but then stuffing my face on my commute home and conveniently forgetting that ... And last week on holiday I realised if I...

That looks delicious Ruth!

Hi hunny, thanks for dropping by. I think you're right, planning is the key. I have a long commute every day ( about hour and a quarter each way) and I know that's time I can boredom eat so I need suggestions for something I can munch on on the way home X

I'm good thanks ... Seem to be getting my feeling determined mojo back. Done a big shop so fridge is full of goodies I can enjoy and stop me reaching for the crisps! How's your day going? M x

First day went well.. Even managed an unplanned trip to the pictures without any snacks! Feeling motivated - maybe this time I can do it. Have my SW friendly shopping list ready for the supermarket ... If it's not on the list it's not going in the trolley!! Have a good day everyone x

Hi hunny. Popping by to follow. I love fab ice lollys too - perfect treat aren't they.

Hi popping by to follow .. Need some friendly people to get me going again! Love your heart PJs

Popping by to follow .. Great loss this week too!

Thanks princess

Hi, you're doing really well and as a new/rejoiner I like some inspirational people to follow so I hope you don't mind if I join you here. As for the small gain..if anyone can get it off , you can!

Hi everyone, I'm a returning member so I know it works. I have shed load of excuses for regaining the weight I lost before but in the end it's only me who eats what I eat...so no more excuses and time to get back in control. I've just been on holiday where a surface in every direction was...

Perfect challenge for me as I'm a returning member today. I'm going to aim for ten pounds weighing on a Friday. No holidays as I've just got back from sunny Portugal to grey East Midlands lol . Good luck everyone x

Hi Isolde, you've done amazingly well already !! My first day back here myself ...hope we travel down the stones together. I've put a higher target so I don't scare myself but would love to lower that into the 11's. Good luck !

Hi everyone, I'm a returning member having regained the weight I lost over the past three years - feeling pretty glum but it's my own fault! Hope to join you all in our journey through the stones !! I'm coeliac too, any other people with this here?

Oops nit been here for a good few days but I've been doing ok... Another 1.5lb off last week. Slow but steady xx

congratulations :-) but sorry to hear you get so sick, that's horrible . Hope you're soon past this stage xx

Well it's weigh in for week 2 and the scales showed 1.5lbs loss...just over but not quite the two pounds mark so I'm erring on the cautious side. That's 3.5 off in a fortnight...not too bad I guess happy st George's day x

Easter wasn't too bad..we didn't have any eggs in the house though I was bought 4 rose creams by someone at work..and I ate them last night! Still not over my weekly syns though so I enjoyed everyone of them !!

Good for you! It can take a while to get going and slow and steady will still see the weight come off . :-)

Good luck Sarah !

Hello you .. Commenting so I don't lose your thread. Looking fab there!!

Hi , thanks for your encouragement x how are you getting along?

Brilliant start xx

:-) grin

That looks yummy !! Thanks for sharing the recipie. I'm going to make an oven risotto tonight so ill let you know how I get on with it! x

Hi anyone out there .. Hope you're ok Well I survived my sons birthday with a plain chicken option with piles of salad and just a few of the potatoes No dessert and no drinking :-) No Easter eggs in the house so that's helping too !

Hi lovely ... Just found your diary do I'm saying hello so I don't lose it again. Have a good day

How frustrating ... I'm sure the pounds just tease us around weigh in day and drop off the next day instead !!

Saying hi so I can follow your lovely recipes and journey :-)

Its so hard to resist stuff isn't it ... Sounds like you limited the effect with how well you did at the BBQ so it could have been worse. Today's a new day :-)

Was a lovely evening when I got home from work so I grabbed the camera and went for a traipse around the local meadows for over an hour .. Bit of free body magic :-). Then a huge tea of boiled eggs, new potatoes and half a plate piled high with salad ... Was stuffed ! I used to hate hard boiled...

Thankyou xx will work harder this week too

2lbs off for me ...here's to another good week coming up x

First weigh in this time round and 2lbs lost ... Can't complain as we did eat out on Saturday. Here's to another good week x

I saw someone post about making something like hairdo...must search it out!

Well done, that's a great start :-) x

Its so hard staying off the scales isn't it ...and two pounds is great, though I know what you mean about always hoping for more in the first week. I'm weighing on weds so let's hope we both do well x

Well I survived the weekend and did ok...we did end up eating out on Saturday but I made the best choice I could and had green tea to drink and no dessert.vto be honest I was full so would have been eating for the sake of it...and I love green tea anyway so I didn't feel deprived. Here's to...

It's tough isn't It .. I'm a real boredom snacked too. What sort of things tempt you ...I'm definitely savoury not sweet so try to have something like pops or velvet crunch that I can have as my syns ..sort of banishes the temptation for anything more damaging !

Ooh I've not tried the quorn sausages.. Must look and see if I can eat them I've got gardening on my weekend to do list so hoping to burn off a few calories too You're doing brilliantly !

Well I've had a good couple if days apart from a mega headache .. Expected as I'm not putting rubbish into my system ! I had the inside of my car cleaned and have made it a rule that no eating will be done in it unless its fruit or raw veg. I commute over 100 miles a day so I know its a danger...

Thanks tiger Lilly x

Sounds like you did really well on your shopping trip! Eating out us always a challenge x

Hi everyone ... I'm doing it from home so know ill use this thread for lots of support :-)

Hello lovely ...look how well you've done!!! I'm so pleased for you ..you've worked hard I can see xx

Thank you!

Hi Jackie , I'm the same..restarting today. I know it can work as it has done before so now I need to keep motivated and on track. Maybe we can support each other ? Good luck x

That's brilliant ... I'm back today after a while with my head in a bad place so this is just the sort of inspiration to get me motivated again ...thank you!

Hi and good luck ...sw really does work and I'm back today for my second time to try and lose more. It took me a while to get my head round how it works but in the end I just focus on the fact it does ! I look forward ward to seeing how you get on x

Ok, I so wasn't in the right place to start this in January ...but I'm back, determined and only a couple of pounds heavier. Could have been a lot worse! The fridge is emptied of crap, the shopping is on it's way, menus planned and I stood on the scales I can do this!!

Hi everyone....I seriously didn't get on the wagon to even fall of it in the new year so here I am a couple of pounds heavier than January (could have been worse ) and in the right frame of mind to succeed this time ..but I know I'm going to need help to stay focused and not eat to cope with...

hi xx really hope that headache ******* off and leaves you alone soon! I love good fakeaways - makes you feel like you've really indulged and treated yourself. Fingers crossed for tomorrow x

yey!! well done you ...very glad youre seeing some progress for your hard work xx

hi lovely xx just catching up as I've been away a couple of days. Glad you're feeling better today and good luck with th house cleaning! Loud music always helps me lol I have a rare day off today from my day job so Im resisting the temptation to use it to catch up on some work ( there is...

disappointingly I stayed the same , but with a trip to london and star week Im just glad it wasnt a gain!! here's to a new week xx

tired! too much work and not enough of us to do it...but you just have to be grateful at having a job these days dont you and I do love mine most days. I work with people with autism ( as well as having a son with autism too ) I'm looking forward to the comedy tomorrow night ... its a cancer...

hi xx been so busy with work Im now playing catch up with the threads I like -so here I am! looks like you're still doing brilliantly xx

busyyyyyyyy as always. Worked a 14 hr day yesterday, which meant I didnt eat well as I just snacked rather than had a meal. not on anything too bad but I know it wasnt very well balanced. A lot of fruit lol off to london tomorrow over night so it will be a challenge to choose a healthy dinner...

hi Lovely xx not been around for a day or so , so just catching up. Looks like you're still doing really well - 12lbs in 2 weeks! thats almost a stone!! scary to read of your skidding on the ice ...I'd have needed more than a glass of rose! New knickers for a start lol x

its gutting when you're disappointed with what you use your syns on - curly wurlys are lovely, especially straight out of the fridge!

I love sweet potato ...yummm!

I think it's going to be star week soon... im at that horrible age when you never quite know. I went 9 months without one then went away on holiday for the first time in years and got one then! typical! but I've had a headache I cant shift and feel ravenous - hormone signs for sure! Been good...

do you like jelly? maybe the sugar free ones of those might be better than yoghurt? funnily enough Ive only ever liked low fat thin yoghurts like the shape ones - nothing full fat or creamy, so I quite enjoy them, They have to be fruit though - not keen on vanilla or custardy types, or toffee...

hi Toni,, it's so disappointing isnt it when you feel you've been following to plan and nothing seems to shift. I think it just goes up and down by a pound or two so frequently that its just luck when you hit the weighing point. hopefully you and rhian will find that next week and get double...

hiya xx wow you did really well if the stilton baguette was you're only off plan food. Well done you. I think the important thing is not to feel guilty and create those bad associations...enjoy it and get back on plan as soon as after wards - other wise its lose-lose xx my mother in law used...

morning :-) how did the pasta go - I could tell you were excited! xx

morning Rhian ...how are you doing? It's nearly the weekend, or do you have to work ? Still raining down here in the midlands - I think I might need a canoe to get to work lol xx

busy busy day yesterday so not much time to be on here but I did ok, even while driving around between meetings and then working in the evening too a raspberry yoghurt with tiny chocolate sprinkles really hit the sweet craving spot mid evening ...far better than sweets ! hope you're all...

hi lovely .. make the best choices you can and you'll be back to plan tomorrow. Avoiding, or at least limiting, the wine will help lots but you do so well in the week you'd have the equivalent of all your syns to use today if you wanted to see it in that way Don't forget to enjoy yourself too!! xx

thanks lovely x

bodies are strange things... I bet it will catch up next week as you've been so good. Hope youre ok xx

Wow .. That's fab!

Glad you're feeling better ... Your menu is making me hungry !

No gain though Donna so well done to both of us :-)

wow she was tiny ... my oldest lad was 6lb 5oz and hes now 6 ft 5 inches tall! x

thanks! I'll look into how I can adapt it. I lost 3lbs this week - got some catching up to do to match you but Im still pleased ( is it wrong to be a teeny bit disappointed its not more? ) xx

Well done you for making the best choices at your works do - it's hard when theres not a lot of options isnt it! Good luck for weighing today... I know what you mean about worrying if it's making a difference yet. We might be slow and steady ones ;-) In the end it wont matter as long as it...

3lbs off, not too bad though I have to admit to hoping for a teeny bit more in my first week - but Sunday probably scuppered that! 3lbs is still 3lbs though and moving me closer to the 12s !! xx

3lbs off .... really pleased and a good start!

I know what you mean about wanting a positive diagnosis - I was tested for everything, including MS, for my nerve damage and other symptoms and it took 5 years to get to gluten being the root cause! hopefully I've managed to message you with the info good luck -if you know what I mean xx

I love the orange and lotus blossom one ...not as bitter as plain green tea and really refreshing. I dont drink coffee and hardly any normal tea ...the fact green tea is meant to help weight loss is a bonus , though it hasnt helped so far - oh yes, that's the rest of the food i was stuffing!!

hello x I love jelly with mandarins ( and with Rhubarb ) - another thing I could make and stick in the fridge for hungry moments! Im guessing that sw quiche is pastry less which would be good for me and my gluten free thing. funny how breakfast makes you feel hungrier at times ... I find...

star week always makes me ravenous, what is it with hormones!! hope the headache is gone in the morning xx

first weigh in tomorrow - feeling nervous!!

oooh definitely going to try that ..... is the rice cooked or uncooked? Sorry for a daft question! I've got the oven on at the moment for my dinner so I'll pop a chicken breast in to cook at the same time. thankyou xx hope you've had a good day?

Evening everyone xx I've been manically busy at work today so it kept me from nibbling, but I have drunk lots of green tea! Good job I like it lol . I had fruit for breakfast , and soup & salad for lunch with a raspberry yoghurt. Home to stick my dinner in the oven.... roast veg with no...

Hi xx sorry to hear you're heading down the gluten free path and for your losses. Message me if I can help more privately though I'm only a year in myself. I've not found any info yet so I've avoided gf stuff so far. I don't really like the bread and biscuits but I do use gf pasta and crackers...

Tough day Donna ... Tomorrows another day:-)

oooh that sounds lovely Rhiann ... I love raspberries! You did really well to stay on plan, and I guess we'll get more familiar with what we can have when out and about. Theres a place in nottingham that's run by the happy egg company. my other half and step son love the pancakes and...

thanks everyone ... I have a long commute so I had a good think about why I ate the chocolate last night, and I know its connected to emotional eating ( work stress is very high at the moment and it was sunday night ) as much as anything else. I need to change lots of things about how I eat...

thanks Donna, exactly ...a new start x

hi and thanks, I do http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/333632-pixs-trip-fitville-no-extra-baggage-allowed.html I hope that link works! x

the first week will always be highest, but 10lb is amazing. I'm really hoping for 3 or 4 but I didnt have a great day yesterday so Im not sure. Still today and tomorrow to be on plan so fingers crossed. Plus the sun is shining today and I had good news from a work thing I was waiting to hear about.

hi there :-) popping in to say hello and so I can follow your progress and get some inspiration. Im new this week, and had a mixed week, but I'm determined to get to my first target weight, and hopefully then carry on beyond!

hi everyone, newly started and wondering if there are any other people with coeliac disease who are successfully following the plan ... I know there will be and would love to be in touch with a few. Im a non red meat eater too, just to be doubly awkward! x

10lbs - thats awesome!!!!! Im definitely going to be paying close attention to your food diary !! brilliant x

Hi everyone, I've just found my way to this thread too - started last weds so not at my first weighing yet. inspired by the losses on here ... I need little miss's recipes for sure! look forward to seeing us all get smaller xx

woweee!! that's amazing!!! So pleased for you x

hmmmm, bit of a mixed weekend. Saturday I struggled to eat enough so definitely wasnt on plan but wasnt over it, and sunday I had a visit from my sister and nephew and we went out to eat. I chose as well as I could and did okish, but then when I got home I had chocolate as well - why?? I wasnt...

I've no idea what cranachan is but well done you for resisting the cake temptation! It does feel like a huge amount of food at times doesn't it but I think the fact that you don't have to go hungry is what will make it work x

Don't worry too much now Toni .. You can't un eat them x I'm at ice hockey .. Watching not playing! The voice is recorded at home for when we get home. Not sure how its going to be without Jessie and Danny.

I'm near a village on the border of notts and leics called Gotham - seriously! We're inbetween Nottingham And Loughborough. Been here for 2 yes now and missing the sea!!

That time after work is a real danger point for me. Think I'm going to need to think of snacks to have prepared and ready so I don't always go for pasta ! X

Hi Donna ... Did you use some syns for a choccy treat or did you resist ? X

Loving your recipes ... Might try one of them over the weekend. Ill need rice instead of noodles due to the wheat but that's not a problem Well done and keep motivated x

hiya x I think we all have those moments. Mines usually when i need something quick and Im most tempted to reach for something that I then regret wasting syns or HEs on! hope todays been better x

it's the weekend ....yey!!! It's seemed a really long week with unexpected inspections at work and lots of sickness so scrabbling around to find cover everywhere. Im on call but I hope my phone stays quiet ! Pasta tonight for dinner, nice and easy and not too heavy for my other half who's off...

hi lovely, good to hear you've had such a positive day . I'm going to be having pasta too tonight - easy friday dinner after a long week!

hi there ... popping in to subscribe :-) glad its going well so far x

hiya, yes soup's fine and I'd never thought about adding rice to it, what a great idea :-) I have a really nice red pepper risotto you can do in the oven if you'd like the recipe I think I'll try really hard to stay off the scales til weds x

Hi lovely ... I found you thanks to your link lol so here to subscribe and help us both keep motivated. Good luck! X

Morning everyone. Its STILL raining ... Going to need an ark soon lol ! Well the nice man from tesco delivered my shopping last night and I'm giving away the last of the Christmas goodies so I'm not tempted ... Taking them into one of my residential services today so they'll be pleased! So...

Hi little miss naughty x Welcome and yes, I'm all up for motivating each other How are you getting along ?

Hi Rhianny ... Thanks for the link ill come find you :-) I forgot to say one of my challenges is that I have coeliac disease so it limits what I can choose. I Just need to be more creative I guess x

Hi Donna ... How did it turn out ? I've not used quark before x

morning everyone ... Rhianny I couldnt find your diary, can you pop a link in here so I can ( Im a numpty, sorry! ) My shopping gets delivered tonight so I can plan ahead a bit better that I have done for today. I work 50 miles away and I know one of my downfalls is eating in the car, usually...

hi Rhianny .... I'll come find you too ! feel free to potter on here as much as you like - good luck x

lets hope this is the one that works Donna! good luck x

Hi toni ....thanks for saying hi and here's to a slimmer 2014 for both of us x

Hi I'm new here today and weighing from home on a weds - so I think this is the right place! I'm starting at 13st 6lbs so here's hoping next week is a smaller number!! pix xx

Hi everyone , I'm Pix, it's my first day here and I'm determined not to be facing being fat and fifty in a few years time. I know I will need help to stay motivated and inspired so here I am looking for people doing the same thing. I'll probably ramble a lot, I'll certainly giggle a lot and...
