Hey Lynne, we both had a bad day each.... Lets get back on that horse - even if the food on the journey is a bit naff!! Lmao x

You are mentally inspiring at the moment lady! just what i needed this morning as I am STILL not out of bed and should be :-/ Well done on your losses - just ignore the cheeky on as it'll soon be gone ;-) x

Agree with Cate! I wasn't hungry yesterday just peed off whilst close to a KFC :-( Anyway Susie, I hope your doctor comes up with a magic cure for your foot today :-). Tis sods law its feeling better though lol Have a good day and enjoy your salads guilt free x

Sorry i have been quiet peoples.... Life took over :-/ yesterday wasn't good and i succumbed to bad stuffs :-( Between that and a complete lack of 'toilet' for about a week my belly feels horrible today and i dread to think what the scales would say! have had senokot max yesterday and...

Its a shame there isn't a magic cure for hunger as well as feet!! Question is though, was it hunger or just lusting after certain foods? That's generally my problem rather than hunger. Nearly grabbed stuff several times today but stopped myself again :-) I heard this ages ago, but somebody...

Lynne first day wasn't the best, but i had my water n bar and stayed on track!! Did you do ok or drown in emails!? Lol x

The long red one with the black jacket is my fave! and you look anything but fat in it!! Looking sassy in your cozzie too lady ;-) x

Apologies for not catching up with everyone today.... Phone kept ringing with peeps wanting to know about first day! will catch up tomorrow after what i can only pray is a more exciting 2nd day! X

Thankyou Cate :-) Film was pants and cost a tenner even now in ASDA! Going to whack it on ebay and sure someone will buy it! Mousse is just mousse mix that Exante used to sell, which is actually just beef gelatin! I tried it for the first time tonight with a forest fruits shake that i split...

Erm.... Not sure tbh Susie, think I may have accepted the most boring job on earth :-/

Keep at it and that 2lb will be gone in no time :-) Reckon you should start hopping everywhere to ease your dodgy foot - that'll soon get you outta puff and wondering why you ever needed a treadmill! ;-) x

Whoop Lynne! Me n you til 26th Aug!! well done on your 2lbs :-) I have managed a pound this morning and I'm happy with that :-) Welcome to Monday anyway - I like you am set with a litre bottle of Buxton and a choc orange bar. Nothing can stop us! ;-)

Day 8 - 63 days to go! Just a quick update as getting ready for first day in new job and am nervous! have lost another lb which takes me to 11lb off in first week! :-). I am only 0.4lbs or 4 ozs off the 18's!!!! My son sadly STS this morning, but that won't last assuming he doesn't get...

Thanks Marge! X

Do tit? Not done that before!! Lol I am up for holding hands on Exante journey though - hotel I am off to is all inclusive so i need to lose as much as possible beforehand to make sure i have a chance of fitting in the plane seat on the way home!! Lol x

Glad it wasn't just us!!

Aww thank you Lynne, its nice to have been missed :) If you read the post I have just sent Susie, you will see what I am doing with my son - off to do turkey steak and salad with brocolli (slightly odd mix I know but he LOVES brocolli) in a mo.... then the pud I mentioned to Susie which I am...

Me n my monkey have decided he is sticking with 2 packs a day and an evening meal consisting of meat under 200kcals and greens (mostly salad, but brocolli, beans and grilled courgettes as well for variety) so its a bit more substantial. I can then use a shake with mousse mix for his pud, or he...

Whoop! Go Darcy!! Thats AMAZEBALLS! Good on ya! And thats just me talking about your intention to do housework!! lol x

You are mental lady! Muchis respect though! Jeez I can't imagine ever doing that - no matter my size or fitness!! Can I ask which gym you go to by the way? I need one localish (but not so local that I see lots I know in there so FX is out for me!) that is not a tanned leotard fest of...

Hey again Susie, how was last night? I know how you feel by the way, people kept having birthdays which stopped me from starting this again, including my husband turning 40 and then fathers day meaning bbq's all round! There are a couple more coming up next week and then mid July, and I pray I...

Day 7 - 64 days to jollidays. Well I now know what the STS was all about -sadly, although I don't normally have them thanks to my pill, but TOTM has struck me and therefore I think I was holding water. Anyway the upside from that is I am down another 2lbs today which makes me 10lbs lighter...

Thank you Darcy and TH! You are right - they are becoming a dirty habit althoughI had steak and huge green salad last night as it was nice for us all to eat together. I was blummin hungry too after cleaning my garage out and wanted to actually EAT! lol x

Thats kinda what happened with my son, it was creeping on but he didn't want to listen.... several of his friends are skinny little whippets and probably always will be - he doesn't quite see that he just can't eat all the same crap they do and not put weight on. Therefore he has and now needs...

Day 6 - 65 days til my hols. Well I have stayed the same for some reason and son has had a mid-weigh (he started on Tuesday) and is dead chuffed to have lost 7lbs! Sadly though as he is not at school today he is thinking about food all too much and is going to end up hungry today - can see it...

There is nothing wrong with it as we are all here to sort it - no looking back - whats done is done, now we make it better again :) You can see if you read my diary that I have already failed once at sorting it out, but I am more ready this time and have more reason and time limits in place -...

You are doing better than me full stop as i haven't included any exercise whatsoever - didn't last time either. Once i am more confident in my skin i will, but right now i am confident and good with everyday life, but we have all heard comments along the lines of 'does that bike have a...

Its quite filling too with a big green salad :-). I always use mature half fat cheese too - the stuff that tastes like waxy cardboard to eat, but is good melted! Lol Anyway, you ready for this glorious weekend? :-) x

You're welcome hun :-) It depends on what i use in the sauce as to whether i mix it in or layer it. If i put baked beans in then i mix it because it doesn't soak through as well, but chopped tomatoes are wetter so i do layers.... Play it by ear, but you can vary it in lots of ways - Chuffed...

Ok, so a while ago I bought the slim n save 'trial' box that they do.... I ate the bars and then left it alone. I have just had the spaghetti bolognese meal pack and it us bloody gorgeous! There is far more pasta than the Exante one - and the taste and texture are just far far nice superior...

Your dog really does eat so well that I think I should send my husband to you (may mean peace n quiet for me too! lol)! Glad you are still happy with the weight sitch, totm is a cow that I am glad to say I rarely suffer from thanks to my pill, but least you know it will be gone soon :) Have a...

And I hope it was good TS day too :)

Its not often I say it, but yay for headaches!! I haven't had one yet so I have either escaped it or not started ketosis yet.... keep forgetting to test my pee! lol Have a lurvely weekend :)

lol of course I do -I still make that for my son pretty regularly (although he is trying to TS with me at the moment bless him!) did you like it? :) What I love about this is you can vary the recipe so much to suit you as you see fit and its SOOOO easy to make. x

Day 5 - 66 days until my jollies!! Thank you all! MM I cannot wait to get back into the 18's - it will be totally lush and even better still as I go down more! Susie my son is being great - there is another turkey dinner for him in the microwave as we speak! Katie - I promise I am staying...

Is your OH still partially sighted!? lol you are wasting away woman - good on ya! :D x

You are just bloody impatient! ;) Sorry cheesy joke but couldn't resist!! lol Well done on the loss anyhoo! Think I need to start walking more! How long did you walk for out of interest? x

Good news anyway - I couldn't resist a weigh in......! I weighed on Monday before starting and clocked in at 19st 11.8lbs.... I then had two small cheese barms (cause I just couldn't resist - does the fact they were brown barm cakes make it any better?! lol) and three large cofees and then...

lmao can you imagine me pulling that out for us all on christmas day - buying turkey dinner packs en mass for the family!? lmao they would think I had completely lost it!! lol

Next time put them on eBay - have sold all my unwanted stuff from bumper packs in there - some sells for more than you pay!! Sent from my iPod touch using MiniMins.com

Well, this is my brekkie sorted!! :-) Sent from my iPod touch using MiniMins.com

I know days like that.... :-/ Least it ended well - and blame the chocolate on the jolliday feeling! X

D'oh! Your head and heart have gotta be in it or temptation takes over! X

Katie - am positive because I AM going to shift some of this blubber!! As for my son, bless him he had a turkey dinner tonight followed by a thai soup made into crisps - although it was a S&S soup - the crisps don't really work so well with those :-/. He reckoned the turkey dinner was nice -...

Hope it worked Susie!!

Fingers crossed for him! x

Lol that's teamwork for ya! How about making muffins from a chocolate shake mix if you are craving the brown stuff? x

Whoop! 1lb off is top banana!! If you don't mind I may nick your countdown idea - I need to focus on my holiday and that will help :-) Hope the hunger has eased, I have been glugging water like there is no tomorrow - but its not that difficult in this heat!!

He does want to bizarrely, as he wants to shift some timber, but think he may opt for a shake which is at least a texture you might expect lol And yes, i will have three today mum! ;-). Already had one and planning cold shake soon. How's it going for you today? x

Lmao you don't sound unhinged to me chick! I bought myself a new phone about a year ago and it stayed in its box for 2 weeks as i just could not be bothered learning how to use it! If I could have replaced my old phone with the exact same model i would have done.... I am with you on the...

Hope you have a fab day Darcy :-) Sun is shining here and I hope it shines on you too x

If you have shaken a pound already then you are certainly on the right tracks - just make sure you stay on the right track with TH later cause there's trouble in them there hills! Lol Have an ace day :-)

I can't believe he didn't notice!! Maybe he just thought that after the time away, that his eyes were deceiving him!! :-o You are going great guns anyway lady, so stick at it!! Enjoy this lovely sunny day and enjoy your walk :-)

You will shake that weight in no time Susie :-). You have good reason - just keep looking at that dress! Fingers crossed for your tootsies - hope they are fixed for the graduation do! X

P.S.well done!!

MM you are sooooo determined I know you can do it - and soon it'll be a lamp post - nevermind a tree!! ;-)

Ello peeps! Well I have to say I am finding it incredibly easy so far! To the point where I realised I hadn't eaten by 8pm last night and then could only get two packs in as if I had stuffed a third one in, I reckon I would have seen it again not long after.... Meal packs floating on top of...

Oh no! I hope it all gets resolved very soon - big huggles x. Send Dan my best wishes! xx

Nope, not can.... I WILL lose a fair amount before holiday!! ;-) How is Danni getting on? x

I am sure she is around Marge, but we just cannot see her as she has gone so skinny she is blocked out by a little tree whilst she catches some rays! ;-)

Hi Phat! I think mentally it is more filling when you are able to chew foods - maybe that has a bearing? I want to try the pancakes as i like pancakes anyway - was concerned they would be cardboardy, but you saying that has inspired me :-). However I really should get rid of some of my old...

That's odd - the link works for me on my phone too!? oh well! they are a small heel t-bar shoe, although looking at them again i am not sure they are dressy enough.... Anyway, how is today fairing? X

It isn't just you - wine is my big fall down too, or cold cider in hot weather does it too so i am being careful not to have any in the house -instead in my fridge is sugarfree sparkling elderflower water. Ok, I know its not the same, but its better than nowt!! X

The sun WAS shining here too but has decided to go in now I am getting ready to go out! Typical! However it is not going to drain my spirit today - DETERMINED!!

WOO-HOO!!! Good to see you are past the halfway point well done ladybird! Not convinced from the look of the fish and chip van how tasty they would have been.... Lol As for me -job turned out to be a farce - long story :-( I start a new one next monday though. Totally different but worth a...

That's only a small gain if you were as bad as you say :-). Glad to see you are well (possible blood issues aside!) and looking forward to getting away :-)

I am not sure if the new job is what i want or not to be honest! However, they offered it's me, it's not too far away and it's the right kind of money, so i will give it a good go!!! Only time will tell!! X

Thank you TH, it's nice to be back - and on a positive note I am returning some clothes to Evans in St helens today that i bought last week, as i have decided that i am not going to stay this big long enough to fit them and make them worth keeping!! :-)

Hopefully I won't need it -but then again i probably will!!! Lol. Thanks Marge x

Hi Harry how is the restart going? I am back again for day 1 and determined, been off this horse for far too long!!

Would something in the middle be possible if not? something like these maybe...

Miss Mac I am back and have to say that you never fail to inspire me :) You really truly are awe inspiring :D

I have piggin loads from before! have looked at the pancakes and eggs and considered it, but I really do need to get through some of this lot first.... Have you tried 'new' stuff? I will be with you on your journey - I may not be on here every single day, it depends on how intense my new...

1.4 is nowt if you enjoyed it - you can get rid of that quick enough! Ello by the way - I'm back and this time it IS happening!! How are things with you of late? x

Am loving the dress - you will look fabulous and of course you can do it!! Have you got your shoes sorted too? :)

Hey Katie I'm back again :) Hope you and the family are well - not caught up with Danni's diary yet.... its taking me ages to wade through everyones to get up to speed after missing far too long on here! You are doing so well and I hope you have an amazing holiday if you don't come on here...

Pound-shmound..... you can shake that off!! (as long as they are exante or S&S shakes and not McDonalds ones!! lol) x

Hey Lynne nice to see you are still here trying :) I am starting again today so you can join my gang if you like lol I am totally determined this time - I AM going to lose and you can too :) 19days is nearly 3weeks and you could lose upto a stone if you go TS and try really hard - thats gotta...

Aww thank you Susie! I am all good so far and not remotely hungry - lets hope I can still say that when I am a coupla days in! Ketosis had best hurry! lol This time it is happening. I am definately going to lose weight. I am off to Tenerife in the last week of August and I don't want to be...

Susie - congratulations for your daughter!!!! :D Bet you are phenomenally chuffed and extremely proud! Well done to you too - I can breath in and put on a pound so for you to only gain that whilst drinking rum cocktails is amazing and Marge is right - water weight will flush away and a portion...

Darcy you are doing so well and I am SO jealous of your cruise!! I am having a read to sap some inspiration off you as I am starting again today :) You are doing fabulously girly! :D x

Right, well coming back never ended up happening last time - sorry folks. Long story that I won't go into but things happened that took over and it never happened. I have eaten a lot and put all but a few pounds back on, but I am not making any excuses, I just had too much on my plate to care...

Sorry that I have been so quiet everyone..... New job and the changes in my husbands job have taken over and dieting has gone out the window! My new job has changed within the company thanks to the restructuring they are having, and as such all I have learnt in the last three weeks has to be...

Congratulations!!! x

Hey Chezz, sorry have been so quiet - have started a new job and its been a bit mad! I am glad that you are getting on with life and feeling more positive :) Likewise with diet its just not happening for me at the moment, but it will when I get myself straighter :) Keep facing the sun and all...

Looking forward to knowing how you have got on - sorry have been quiet, have started a new job and fallen off track, but I will be back!! :)

Thank you ladies :) Things will settle themselves and I am not eating too badly at the moment.... bar or fruit for brekkie, mostly meat and salads and stuff for lunch followed by fruit, then a reasonably sensible meal for tea. Will weigh when I remember to first thing when I get up - although...

Erm.... I have been with you on the eating malarky.... oops! I PLAN to be back on it soon and have lots of meal packs at the ready :) How you getting on now? x

Get you ya skinny little winkle!! Shrinking quite rapidly now! Can I suggest if my Asda have got them that I could send them to you via Hermes? Its only dead cheap.... Let me know if you are still stuck x

Hellllllooooo! So sorry I have been quiet all! My new job is fab but there is SO much to learn that thinking about diet had gone completely out the window for now :( I do training every afternoon and the mo and I tried Monday and Tuesday but muy training is so intense that I need some sugar...

Well i am home and can honestly say that if the rest of my days there are even just a quarter as good as today was then i will be happy :-) There is a lovely team around me and its good!! Will catch up properly on here later if i can, but everyone wants to talk to me to find out how today...

Thank you so much ladies sorry i have not been on here, I have been hectic busy, and a very misplaced TOTM even visited thanks to stress :-( It is thankfully leaving me now, but I have done some damage in the time it was here! I am not going to stand on the scales today but starting Exante...

Oh Miss Mac! I am sooooo chuffed for you!! Well done lady, its only your sheer will and determination that have got you there! xx

Hi Darcy - hope you are good? x

I am VERY excited but I also have to admit to some total dread too! lol Que Sara.... its all good :) Fingers crossed for a good nights sleep tonight for all of us! x

Hi Susie, I quite like the turkey dinner but am not into the Sheperds pie - so not sure what you will make of that! lol I think the turkey dinner is like a peppery turkey flavour - but its one of the better meals to my mind. you may have made your won mind up by now though! You are doing so...

Course I am still gonna come on Susie - try n stop me! ;) I do fully intend to get back onto Exante properly - but for now I am being goodish... but with treats. Have promised myself that I will stand on the scales sat or sun, dependant on how the weekend goes and devise myself a plan, make...

Hi Katie, Don't get me wrong there are elements of him not being here that I will certainly enjoy! I sleep badly when he is not here and just hope that is something I can get used to..... Two months is a long time!! As for China, funnily enough my husbands company have a place there too and...

Hi Susie, He has only been away for the odd few days here and there up until now to their head office in Austria and last year he went to Ohio for a week for product trials. This is South Africa though and its for 8 weeks..... Found out I also lose him to Austria for a week or maybe 2 in May...

Thank you Darcy :bighugs:

Not really been too good in the end Bee - will start again when I start new job on Monday - more routine should make it easier :)

Oh I love that feeling after a fabulous nights sleep! I wish I could get one but with all thats going on he isn't sleeping too well as his head is ticking too much!! Hope you have a great day today and that you are smiling after a definate lack of traffic! :)

Glad you are feeling better hun - half a pound is nowt though - just a big poo! loL ;)

I know how you feel Darcy - I am not a massive watcher to be honest, but when its not on in the background I miss the noise! lol Well done for staying away from the greasy cheese bread - it tastes good but when you look at the calorific value its horrendous!!! Soup is much better! ;) Be back...

Hey Susie - you are doing well being back on it :) good on ya lady! won't be too long til I can join your gang again x

Scrap what I said about a dash of a day - has turned into a dash of a week and I may well be quieter than normal for a while whilst I start my new job on Monday too. Everything seems to happen at once! Have found out today that I am going to lose my husband for 8 weeks over the summer as he...

Closest I have ever been to a lottery win was an ex boyfriend who I dumped and the week after he won £26k lol Either that or the couple from Sale who won 12.4million lived two doors down from my mum and dad at the time they won - does that count?! lol Keep up your TSing - you are doing better...

Miss Mac your resolve is wonderful and totally inspiring! I am hardly on here at the moment as really busy, but I will do my best to to check in on you tomorrow and see where you are upto and I have my fingers tightly crossed for you!! x

Sorry Bee, is that the banana cake recipe I posted? it was orginally called banana bread by the way, but the name put some people off as they think it will be like a white tin loaf with banana in and thats not good lol I change the recipe all the time by the way, with flavoured yogurts...

Lynne you are really on a roll at the moment - well done you - keep at it!! x

Sadly for me its not the Exante that gives me that problem, its anything that goes in my mouth! lol Well done on your dress by the way - you are really flying at the moment :)

I am glad things are looking a little brighter for you Chezz :) My fingers are crossed for you for Thursday but I am sure if you go in with your shoulders back and a smile on your face you will already be a good part of the way there. x

5-10seconds is enough for that - did you like it? :-)

Sorry been quiet - have had busy dash of a day and its not over yet! Weighed this morning and i again STS as yesterday so ok on that score. Catch up when i can folks! X

Just a quickie! I also love the fringe - its very flattering and does indeed make you look younger :-). From the tiddly attachment pic i thought it was Danielle initially - you two are very alike! I know how you feel about the dog btw - there are 2 males in this house that both go with...

Thank you for that ladies, i may well try tracking calories, although use Exante meals for ease. I do have a my fitness pal account which i used to use when i was doing 5:2, so it will be useful for this. I do intend to go all out on ny Chinese banquet, but the other days will still pick...

Sorry I have been quiet - ended up being out most of yesterday afternoon and evening..... Anyway, I have been bad but not too bad if that makes sense. Yesterday I had 1.5 meal packs, a barmcake (or bread roll, breadcake, muffin depending on where you are from!) with spread on and a piece of...

Thanks Darcy - I intend to, have just said that if I get so hungry today that my familys life is at risk (lol) the worst i will do is have another pack :-) x

Lynne today is going to vengeance better come what may! I am still hungry today - its like the hungry monster that packed up and left me, has come back but this time with his hungry brother in tow as well! I'm Hank Marvin! Have already had 1.5 packs today and have promised myself the worst i...

I was meaning at least i am not stuck at that exact same weight anymore - but yes it would be fab if eating made us lose! I'd look like a shrink wrapped skeleton! ;-) x

Have a fab day Twinkle and well done for resolving not to weigh! x

All I know about last night is that I didn't do it!! However I did fall off plan a bit :( Ho-hum! Glad you enjoyed your evening, but you'll never make it as part of Scoobys meddling kids gang having a drink!! Wish I had Daphnes figure though lol Have a good day today :)

Hi Lynne - hope you are ok x

That is a fab way to look it at Miss Mac! I wish I had your resolve and attitude to diet at the moment! Have a lovely weekend x

I hope you have a great day 81 and that you get to chill this weekend x

So much for never being naughty! lol I can't say owt though as I also ate last night (although maybe not as much as you from the sound of it?!). However I would stay away from Scotland if you are walking as its blummin cold out there! Stick with going to your sisters (unless she is in...

Have a great day with your Mum. I love shopping with my Mum - good times :) p.s.your little girl is adorable! x

Oh no! I would say have a nice weekend, but I am not so hopeful after reading that :( Fingers crossed you get better very soon x

Hope you all have a good day :)

Morning all, will catch up in a bit, but yes, new day today :-) Funny thing is I ate bits last night, but this morning the scales have finally moved!! Granted, only 2 OUNCES down lol, but at least they moved!! Ha-ha!

Add some ham to that list.... About 180calories and 1gram of carbs. Coulda been a lot worse believe me! Going to bed now!

Get ideas in Hobbycraft and then buy in Poundland/Poundworld -much cheaper! Lol

Katie I think i was finishing typing when you replied.... I had to edit as managed to send from my phone before had finished posting :-/

Have been hungry all day today :-( Have held out til the last couple of hours, but I have had 3.5 packs so far. Bit of grated cheese on top of my chilli pack and finished my husbands last ten oven chips - with mayo :-( Not great, but could be a lot worse. Catch up tomorrow when i can x

I bet your scales move more than mine have been doing the last few days! lol Your granddaughter is a lil cutie and looks like butter wouldn't melt in that pic! You will have to take her skating and show her how good you are!! ;) Have a lovely day tomorrow and me thinks I am going to have to...

Fingers crossed for lots of things then! Have a lovely evening and let us all know how your daughter thinks she got on and also about the treadmill!! x

Could be worse, my mate was stood in her knickers and bra (husband was out with mates) ironing her outfit for the night when her husband and all his mates burst in! She hadn't heard his car as they had all walked back from the pub as had a few!! Still amazed she didn't hear them coming, men...

Nnoooo they were pans not pots!! ;) It can be no worse than the parcelforce man seeing me bopping to music the tv this morning!! lmao

Watch your knees TH, used to get the worst knee grazes ever on the school playground!! lol

Right I have just weighed myself..... still exactly the same. Weighed myself holding several big heavy pans (was in the kitchen) and weighed more so they seem to be working! :479: Must just be some crazy fluke! :cool:

lol I already tried the moving thing! I always weigh in the same spot in the kitchen as I know it can fluctuate, but even moving them about did nothing! Am tempted to go glug a litre of water as fast as I can to see what happens as that HAS to weigh more than an ounce! lol

There is something up with my scales I am sure of it - either that or my body is being EXTREMELY efficient!! Without going into too much detail I have emptied my gut this morning but have also eaten a cereal bar and had a coupla coffees, but I still weigh exactly the same to the ounce...

I did say 'ish'! lol

And well done to you too Harry! :)

I Well this IS odd Katie. I have stayed EXACTLY the same again Katie! I am not overly complaining at that, I have already lost a reasonable chunk since restarting properly, what I find odd is that I am the exact same to the same fraction of a pound even! Yes, even the ounces are the same...

Oops.... I didn't mean i do it right then lol. Gimme 5ish mins!

You have done twice as many days as you have left to do! I reckon it should pass pretty quick now! You are doing fabulously x

So do I Susie! I won't be weighing til my clan are out the way (after 8) but I am praying the scales make me smile! If not then ho-hum, it'll come.... but I am getting antsy waiting! Just NEED to see it to think i have any chance of 17's by 31st!

Lol its ok i don't mind!! Just trying to show you that its not always bad putting on after eating :-) lol x

The second pic is definitely better than the first though....! Lol

Fingers crossed for a drop tomorrow as just one more pound gets me to one and a half stones off!! There is something nice about a round figure - unless its MY round figure cause thats too round hence I am here!! Lol

Its completely understandable Twinkle - what matters though us you are back and we are all pleased to see you :-D Glad its feeling like home now, things will be properly settled soon and you'll get back to routine without even thinking of it x

I used to eat and drink ridiculous amounts in the evening and the more i drank the more i ate!! cooked pizzas and garlic bread from the freezer at 9, 10, 11pm on many occasions :-/ Not tried the forest fruits yet by the way, although i do have some - just a bit off shakes at the mo....

I would be able to feel my bum if i went skating - cause it'd be covered in bruises afterwards!!

It really is flying by!

Hope tomorrow is better Lynne x

I have had an odd one but too longer to explain so maybe better looking at my diary lol Glad you are doing well, it is nice to eat again, I LOVE the bars for that :) I have a friend on here who likes the double choc bars hot after a few secs in the microwave - says its like a pud but I much...

Its good to see you back and back on it hunny! TOTM is an evil thing but at least it will stop you from weighing as that could leave you feeling a bit despondent... However you KNOW it will come back off and thats all good :) You all settled in the new house now? Is it feeling like home yet? x

What I would say is enjoy your holiday but don't go mad? Logically after denying yourself on exante, any food will feel like a treat so treat it as that and have a little less? When I ate last week, I would have the big juicy steak but then only salad with it (although believe me I wanted all...

Hey - hope you are still smiling! :)

Day 80 is nearly here whooop-whoop! x

Its better than what I got when I had a curry at work..... they all said it smelt great but the general consensus was that it needed chips n sausage with it!! I wish at times I could just tell em to SHUT UP CAUSE I AM ON A DIET!!!!!! lol Glad you kept your resolve hun - you will feel better...

To be fair it was many years ago I was in the Hilton but never been in the Novatel there I don't think...... Sounds like you have had an action packed time!! and here is me just sat waiting to start my new job! lol x

Productive days are GOOD :) Sadly I haven't stopped all day but seem to have got beggar all done!! :rolleyes:

In going to the doctors you are seeking some help which is a big big step, I can understand you being nervous of that but its all good and I assure you he won't bite -if he did then I would see mine a lot more often than I do ;) x

Get you in your smaller fitted dress! :D bet it felt great :) Have posted that pic of mate by the way - be warned, it may hurt your eyes!! lol

You know whats best for you hun, just be as good as you can ;) :bighug:

Oh no thats not me lol That pic was taken off his facebook too lol My pic is on my Minimins profile, although it is a blonde curly me, I am currently a deep red colour and mostly its straight :) I haven't done a cancer selfie though, donated instead as its really not me lol Sav has had a...

Mere is right - empty calories. If you are going to fall off then at least do it with something you can limit as there is only so much food you can eat, but when its combined with alcohol then its certainly gonna end out BAD! Better still add another pouch to your day if you need more or make...

Ok, todays weigh in shows I am the same as yesterday, which is 18st 9.8lbs. That means since I started the monthly challenge last week that I have lost 5.5lbs :) I am good with that!! If I can shift into 17's by the end of the month (when I start a new job!) I will be very happy! lol

Oh my.... facebook selfie alert! As promised a pic of my mate Sav - this has to be the best cancer awareness selfie posted on facebook EVER! He is in reality a well known stripper in the North West- even appeared in Corrie lol But you gotta have some balls (which I am sure that MANY people...

Its still not pink!! Ho-hum, even more oddly weight has dropped off the last coupla days but this morning I weighed EXACTLY the same as yesterday! Its very strange! Not complaining though as had a good loss so far this week! :) Hope you are all well and enjoying Thursday!

Sorry just realised that may have sounded gross! Its just my sick sense of humour! Sowwy!

You are not the first person I have heard that from about pregnancy tests! Scary! However I KNOW I'm not pregnant at least so its a start lol (not unless I've unknowingly sat on his wet patch!!! Lol) . Maybe my wee has gone off!? Lol

Awww sometimes its just nice to know you are missed!! Glad you had a good day and the bits you ingested were far more precious to the kids than the total calories were to you x

Thanks Twinkle :-) TH - I really do hope so! I'm trying my bestest! Lol

Good girl! That's the determination we like to see! If you take a peek at my diary you will see I put on too after eating, but am reaping the rewards now!! I won't ever miss food week if it does this to me!! X

Best fb selfie i have seen so far is my mate Sav, he is a large stripper around the north west and his make up pic was hilarious! If I remember (and he doesn't mind) I will post it on my feed tomorrow ;-) Glad you've had a good day Katie and good luck for your not as padded bum tomorrow! Lol x

You are more than welcome chuckie-egg. All compliments are well deserved!! x

You are such a huge inspiration hunny, and you are right -it is working for you, you may have just hit a plateux :bighug:

I am hoping 17's will be in reach but my start date had been brought forward by a week to 31st now, so I will have to go some!! :eek: Thanks for the subscribe Harry! :)

Yup good luck indeed! :)

apparently it doesn't like the word bug**rs - just wanted to point out I hadn't said anything worse! lol x

That sounds dubious! lol My ketasticks are still beige but weren't before when testing. Your tastes do change slightly in ketosis - I found that when I was pregnant too as I spent most of my pregnancy dehydrated in hospital being stuck on drips to rehydrate me and piddling on ketasticks there...

Oh no! what did you do to your knee?! x

and yet you are still always so positive - you keep it up lady :) You put me to shame! lol x

I just pray it carries on!! Still at a loss re ketosis though :confused: If you were a size 26 last summer its no wonder you are feeling great now! I have only ever made it to a 24/26 in trousers and 26/28 top, but I know how hard it can be to buy clothes in those sizes on the high st unless...

How is the head and day three going hun? x

Pizza made me gain HUGE amounts - don't do it!!! Besides you got banane shake n curry, so who needs cheese!? I have STILL not tried the banana shake -only seem to want porridges and bars of late - I must be craving stodge! When the husband asked my which porridge I was eating last night he...

The fact you came back on here says a lot x I hope the doc made things look a little brighter, and as for the food, hey its food and its weight you can and will lose when the time is right for you. We have all eaten at times for the sake of eating (its why half of us are on here!). Things...

Good luck with that new job! We all hit a plateux at times and they can be depressing but its good that you aren't giving up! We are still behind ya! :)

Which Hilton are you in hun? If its the one in central Manchester then its very nice in there :) You are doing really well by the way - good on ya! :)

There are some nice recipes on the exante site to keep you in ketosis, I have had the steak and grilled courgettes on occasion :) stayed in ketosis too :) A lot of peeps doing WS seem to take it a bit too far and end up coming out of it, thats why I said be careful -it is very nice to actually...

Aww it must be ace going back to your old school although funnily enough when he went back to his primary school a while ago he said he was relieved not to see his 'b*tch of a headmistress' too! I told him off for the language, but I kinda had to agree as I severely disliked her too! The...

Thanks hun, I have to admit that its really helping me along right now. Seeing something change is a great way to getting through the first few naff days where the pocuhes taste yak cause you aren't in ketosis yet..... I have to admit that I did not expect to see it dropping this fast this...

Thank you ladies :) I have told them that I do not want to work my notice and as they deserve a bit of a two finger wave off the way they have behaved of late! My direct boss completely understood that and was fine with me - from his tone think he is as peed off with the place as anybody! I...

Oh my god - HOW?!?! Eitherway you have the determination and willpower to keep going and that is something to be really proud of! I and all of us on here are right behind you :) Carrie is right too -it WILL shift soon as you are giving it no choice. I was a clerk at WW for a long time...

If they are pink then you are in ketosis, but if you are doing WS you are unlikely to stay there hun x

Excellent for day two and ketosis kicking in already - get some pain relief down you though - don't suffer! Unless you like the feeling cause you know what it is really - in which case yer a masochist! lol

13 ia unlucky for some but it won't be for you I am sure! Weigh early missus - I wanna know!! lol

Sleep well chuck - can't eat in your sleep! lol x

You need to find a pen that says I USED TO BE FATTER THAN THIS in that case - gotta show you off somehow! ;)

Today has been a GOOD day :) I went into our office and saw a few folks I haven't seen before dieting and they ALL commented that my face looks slimmer :D although they weren't quite as nice when they found out I was there to resign! lol Felt blummin lovely emptying my desk out :bliss:

See I said you wouldn't care too much about the rain! ;) x

lmao we are a bunch of addicts -just wish I could have knocked my no.1 addiction of FOOD off that list years ago! I'll get there though! Now, how to stop Darcy buying pens..... lol x

Come on fella - giz an update! ;)

Wow Lynne I am not surprised you are good with STS today as its falling off you otherwise!! Brilliant! :bliss:

Well done and liking the positive vibes :) I am with you on the pear too - :yuk:

Its good to hear the positivity that you are ready to tackle three weeks on it - you go girl!! :D

Your compliments are well deserved after your hard work and whats more HURRY UP TOMORROW!! I am possibly as excited as you are for your weigh in! lol Hope your tum improves today though x

Ok now its there again.... ODD.

Ok. This is bizarre. The loss WAS on my signature but seems to have disappeared?!?!?! Otherwise how did Marge see it?!

Well done on your loss hun :) It'll come right if it was the veggies filling you up - on the upside the veggies should help you :sick0019: too! lol

Its good to see you back even after an eventul concussion fest!! x

I think you are stuffed for a nice driving day as its wet n 'orrible out there, but on the upside, you have lost 3 stone now so I doubt you care that much about the weather! lol You are over a third of the way to your target!! whoop!

Marge I will always accept congratulations even if it does go back on tomorrow in water retention! lol Ladies, the daily losses are in my signature :) Question though.... is it just me? I got a mixed box from Exante last week and my bars had 2015 date on. Yesterday I had delivered a box of...

Hi Chezz, here to subscribe rather than hijacking anothers thread lol - hope you don't mind? :)

Well I just got the shock of my life on my daily weigh in! I just hope its right, but its more likely water fluctuation!! lol

Where my new job is, is the middle of Birchwood so i have a shopping centre, Birchwood park or Risley Moss not far away to go are so should be good - although the shopping centre may cost me a fortune if i go more than once a week!! several 'cheap' shops in there too! :-/

That is lovely to know I have x. One day at a time is the only way you can take it and stay sane - it will hurt for a long time but your friend wouldn't want you moping, he would want you yo be the best you can be. X

Glad things went reasonably for your daughter. My husband had something similar a few years ago and it was put down to stress in the end. They put him on a beta blocker but that made him worse tbh and it went on its own eventually. As for your wobble - I just wish my wobbles work so healthy...

Oops that appeared as i was typing last message!! ha-ha! Well done though - its fabulous! you will be at target in no time at this rate!! X

Lol your mum makes me chuckle! But yes hurry up - I want to see too!! Lol x

No worries hun, I wouldn't worry about the ham though, today i had a chicken nugget and yesterday a bite of a battered fish fillet with tartare sauce off my husbands plate - i think everyone does it occasionally. We are only human - but as such when we let ourselves down we kick ourselves even...

Thats a good point Katie - i wasn't really thinking of it that way! I may start going out for my lunch when i start work there so that they don't know i'm fighting the fat fight! Lol

Actually yeah, I should probably also admit my addiction to shampoo and conditioner.... And body lotion.... And just anything goes in my bathroom actually!! Lol

We all feel like that at times, but uf you give up now then you'll never get any smaller and that will lead to more upset. Stick with it - its worth it. I fell off the wagon and regret utter majorly. - don't make same mistake as me xxx

Hi Harry! Here to subscribe :) Well done on the 4lb - thats fab! Reckon you will manage your monthly challenge no worries at that rate!!

Have a peek at my thread - I went off track massively but have reigned it back... I ate rather a lot in the last couple of weeks - pizza, chinese n stuff and I am amazed I only put 3lbs on, but being back on exante properly have lost two of those in just a coupla days. You can do it :)

Just so y'all know, I didn't get the other job, they thought I was too 'senior' for the role - but hey ho, I have another one to go at still so I am still a happy girlie! :) p.s.when I say senior, I don't mean in age! lol

Hey Susie - hope today is going well :) I have just bought some skinny noodles and pasta off a well known deals site - was much cheaper than the shop, so will take your advice and have a half a pack first off! On the upside though, it may help the weightloss bulking all that fibre in! Will...

Go Lynne!! At this rate you won't need to plan anymore dieting!! you are doing fabulously!! xx

Hi! At least you had a good weekend :) Fingers crossed you see a number you like on the scales tomorrow :)

Get that water down you or you will end up woozy :( Glad you have had a positive weekend as its always harder when there are people eating around you..... x

Oh no.... its Ikea for tealights - bags of 50!! lol

Happy Paddys Monday!! I have to agree with the ladies below - to have no sneakpeeks is amazing :) I have started weighing daily - I know I can fluctuate madly, but it will hopefully keep me on track a bit :)

:wow: Thats brilliant!! This roller skating malarky must work! Where do I sign up?! lol

Wow all that will keep your mind off eating!! have a lovely day - even being 'watched' lol :peep:

So glad its not just me! lol I have stopped on the stationary as that comes gratis from work now lol, but I am a bit of a gadget girl and have been known to buy all kinds and candles and stuff just cause they look nice! I KNOW cheap candles never burn well, but still buy them!!

Susie I had a stinking headache yesterday which I was sure my ketosis kicking in nice n quick again, but my ketastick this morning informed me otherwise :( Hey ho, it'll come when its ready! Katie.... tbh I don't - I really want them both!! If I haven't heard from the agency about the...

I am with you on the cheapy bargains! Why pay more?! lol Sadly though I often spend more as its all so cheap I always buy stuff I don't need and often bits for my mum or sister and when they offer me the money I always say 'oh no, it was only pence' - its probably cost me hundreds over the...

It wasn't just the noises that kept me awake, I had tummy ache from hell and I have never farted so much in my life!! lol Sorry to be graphic, but its true!! Anyway, thank you for all the good wishes - I am in sales, and I am waiting til I hear about the other job I went for on Friday until I...

Oh god, making you hungry is not good! I love the cafe latte slimfast but never stuck at it long enough to know whether it made me hungry or not - didn't have enough resolve to last more than a coupla days on that!

I want a fit bit.... but I doubt Brad Pitt would want me back :(

I think the risotto is even more vile than the sheperds pie and thats saying something! Bleurrrrrrrrgggggh! The texture of the risotto is kinda nice in that you sorta have to chew it, but the taste and the sliminess.... well.... no comment! :sign0137::9529:

Not sure my neighbours would agree - they probably think there is an earthquake starting!!

However the rumblings in my tum however are not so fabulous!! I'm not hungry, just have an exceptionally noisy belly!!

Hello my lovely how are you feeling now? I hope you have a lovely meal tonight and tomorrow - let me know what the rice is like please? I was intending to weigh everyday to inspire me, but fogot this morning and only remembered after I had eaten and drunk lol Oops! Have a great weekend x

You have done so well and you are still doing so well - don't forget that! x

I hope gurgling is fat breaking down as mine is really going for it today - sounds like someone farting in the bath constantly!! I certainly couldn't go out with this noise going on! What are the asda shakes like by the way? I have used Slim Fast and the Tesco ones in the past - I love the...
