Bit of a weird one today.. If i was calorie counting i'd be laughing. But i'm not :( I had a coffee first thing, then started having a tidy up. Then my mate came round for a coffee and a chat and by the time he went it was 2.15pm. I realisied i'd not eaten :eek: By the time i'd got myself...

Well done Jane, that's awesome :woohoo: I have it on my iPod just in case i feel like scoffing!

Had an ok day today. Scales say i'm down nearly 2lb already and every journey starts with a single step right? I didn't eat perfectly today, far from it. But rather than just saying screw it like i would have before and ruining the whole day, i picked right back up with the next thing i ate. Go...

You really are inspiring MissMiff x

Freaking AWESOME, well done you!! :)

Wow, that's a great first couple of weeks and some lovely food in there! I'm always a bit put off with the Big Mac in a bowl thing. Just looks weird, a pile of beef and lettuce. I do adore a Big Mac though :) Have a fabulous week

Oooh Marmite *drool* i love it! Great looking day. Take things easy and look after yourself. There's only one of you!!

Are you feeling better now that you're back on the wagon? As life settles and your daughters settles - your diet will settle. Well if you're anything like me anyway, i'm such an emotional eater. If i feel an emotion = i eat ;) Hope she continues to settle in and that terms starts smoothly for...

Wow, well done! That's great. How did you find your first SW week?

SW is great for trying new things, mixing up those combos of free food to create lovely things. That chilli looks gorgeous, i'm always on the hunt for new recipes. Glad you seem happier today :)

How did you do?

How are things today Texty? x

Oh don't, we had SO many boxes of choc and biscuits from residents families, just wasn't fair!!

He's 8 and quite switched on. Like he understands about saving money, why mummy has to go to work etc... so he'll get it. It's MY issue bless him. I actually made the sweet and sour, we only bought the prawn crackers. But it still wasn't 100% which bugs me. I'm a (failing) perfectionist! Today...

Welcome Missneen! I do try not to eat after my 1am porridge and it's easy enough to be honest as we get so busy after that. It's the 11pm 'tea break' that's the problem! Out of curiosity, what do you all do? I am a care assistant in a nursing home x

Night worker here too. I tend to have some porridge at about 1am usually. It's hard, because the others bring in share bags of Maltesers etc... and i want them!!

Work know, and my online buddies know but i don't announce it because the hypnotherapy thing gets poopooed. Work only know because i do night shifts and my eating habits are all over the place!!

I don't know! I have no eggs in, no fruit and i'm stuck! Need to pay Asda a visit. I've got a muller light so i'll have that and a small bowl of Alpen (and syn that)

Can i ask you a personal question? Please don't answer if you don't want to. 10st in 10 months is fast. Has it left you with a lot of excess skin? I have a 'baggy' tummy anyway and i'm worried about it hanging down by my knees :(

Jane, you are a complete inspiration my lovely. Look at you! 10 stone in 10 months! Was that purely Paul? It's amazing. I'm really trying to stick with it but it's early stages of my restart.

2 bottles? Ouch! I am secretly impressed though ;) Curl up with some water tonight and rehydrate yourself! x

Oh Llama, you're right i know. It's just the shame thing. Obviously people know i eat too much because of how big i am, but not the extent of the issue. Thank you for the support though, it#s nice to know someone gets it. Today started really really well. 3 eggs scrambled on a slice of whole...

Waitrose used to do this stuff like Crystal Light, sugar free powder you mix with water. Maybe of you goodle it you could find it on amazon? Think it was called Aqua something?

Hi :) Take some Special K bars and things with you so you have good snacks with you that are easily synnable. Ypou're doing really well. Stay strong and best wishes for your dad :D

Nothing like a weekend away to recharge the batteries! Have a great time. What you did over the weekend was spot on - loosen the reins a little but don't go all out :)

So many different ways of doing this! Going to trawl through and try and find the definitive recipe!!

Scrambled egg on wholemeal toast and a coffee. Can't wait!!

Yeah, hire yourself out! You seem really focused, long may it last :)

Oh it all gets too much, i have to wait until june before i see Mr Bug. It amplifies everything doesn't it? Chin up. I know you feel your problems aren't as important but they most definitely are. Try and get a good nights sleep and things will seem better tomorrow xx

Ahhh honey, you're just me with stronger fingers! Everything you're typing could so have come from me. You're doing fabulously. That 'self humiliation'? Been there 100 times over and you then end up needing that verification that it's not as bad as you think so you draw attention to your...

Yeah well don't hold out hope on that feeling better thing.... I'm basically addicted to food. I've done the whole "i'll start on monday" thing. So of course, have thought i'll have a sort of last supper today. I've had McDonalds, chocolate, soda, crisps, sugar in my coffee etc... so i've eaten...

Hey at a stressful time, a STS is brilliant! Well done you

That's the crazy thing. I want to do it. I've been dieting all this time and i'm running up a down escalator. I don't know, i'm really tired too. I did a 12 hour night shift last night and haven't slept since. Hopefully things will seem better after a good nights sleep! Thanks for replying...

Ok please tell me it's not just me that does this? "Oh i'll start monday" "Oh i'll start on the 20th because we have that dinner out" "Oh i can't start tomorrow, it's a saturday" Etc etc.... I'm so sick of myself. Swift kick up the bum duly administered and i AM starting tomorrow. I am i am i...

No shame in a maintain as "they" say! Stress is a huge factor in weightloss for loads of reasons so the job stuff may well have influenced it

Texty is right, little baby steps. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. I know you're not at the start but slowly slowly catchy monkey!

Hello ladies, hope you don't mind me tagging along. Seems like january is a crappy time of year for us all in one way or another! Onwards and downwards eh?!

Ooh crackerbread! Love it :) Just been having a read Texty, you're fab, nearly 3 stone off right?

Great thread, thank you!

You're doing amazingly. They are such great principles aren't they? I think everyone could eat more mindfully. Well done you :)

Have just read the last few pages. Hope you're ok?

I'm crap with dinners! I do shift work so i'm often all over the place. Planning seems to be key though. Have a good day

3.5lb is a great loss, well done you!!!

Wow Tetris. Just had a read through. How awesome are you?! You have done so well, really inspiring. AND a woman after my own heart as far as movies and sexy dresses go. Over 6 stone gone, that's just amazing. Good places are Collectif – www.collectif.co.uk Pin Up Girl Clothing–...

Of course it counts, exercise is exercise right? I can't have chocolate or anything in the house. It goes. None of this "oh i'll just have one" crap in this household! Subscribed if that's ok?

Well i guess it's that time again! I won't give you the big ramble now but basically i have been dieting for over 20 years and i have been as high as over 20 stone and as low as 15 stone. It's pretty tragic that at 15 i was about 15 stone but hey, that's life.... But onwards and downwards hey...

Quark and scanbran? Throw celery on there and you have devil food. You're brave!

Haha, loving the Miss Havisham analogy! I used to use MFP but like you guys, the calories scared me. I won a 3 month membership to Nutracheck but again, it's calories :sigh: Notebooks are the way forward and also allows me to feed by stationery/Paperchase addiction!

Hey, new follower here! Banana on toast with a sprinkling of cinnamon is amazing :)
