Hello everyone! It's been a while, and i'm conscious that this journey started a year ago, and I dropped off last April from updating! With it being January, I know that new starters may come, and my diary is So, what happened after April 12th? Well, over the next two months, I stuck with the...

Oops - it's Tuesday and i've not updated. Another good Monday weigh in and 4lb off taking me just over the 4st loss and better than i'd hoped for for the week! Doing a lot of thinking about my next steps now. I've been reading about reverse dieting and also listening to podcasts about binge...

Here we are, another Monday and another weigh in. This time, 5lb off bringing me to 14st 10lb. I cannot remember the last time I was in the 14st bracket! 3lb till I hit 4st loss which i'm hoping to do in the next couple of weeks. This weekend has been all about navigating birthday cake for my...

Monday weigh in and another 3lb down. 3st 1lb to go to my target weight (and 2st 8lb to go to my new "upper limit." I've been doing this for 12 weeks now and i'm finding my rhythm definitely. This weekend I was supposed to be away, but Covid struck on Thursday so I had a weekend at home with...

Maintain is excellent for getting back to plan - just think what it’ll show next week with a full good week behind you! xx

Kept busy this weekend to try and avoid food - I’m missing those binge sessions - definitely not all food related. Trying to break habits and rituals too - I think I’m going to have to get rid of a specific bowl in our house, because of its association. Hope everyone has had a good weekend?

Checking in! This week has been going pretty well, except for a birthday cake incident yesterday. I had a couple of mouthfuls, but straight back to plan (despite my brain trying to convince me to cheat and give up!) Pretty pleased with that, especially as I cooked OH one of my favourite dinners...

I think it’s definitely about breaking those habits - your mind is obviously remembering the Thursday evening routine, and trying to sabotage you. Can you do something during that time that you really enjoy and becomes a new habit instead?

So, I was rereading my old diary yesterday: https://www.minimins.com/threads/my-personal-weight-loss-journey.344694/ if anyone else is interested in reading some mad ramblings! It’s quite useful to see some of the old thoughts and feelings that I’ve gone back to. I’m only about halfway through...

Big one for me is not buying snacks when at the petrol station/not snacking in the car. Great to start planning future steps now to get these habits secured and in place. 👍👍

Thanks Jo. This is exactly what I’m trying to deal with at the moment, so not overstepping at all! I currently go out, don’t think about calories, just make a sensible choice for that meal (no carbs, steak and salad kind of thing) and then get straight back to it with three meal replacements...

So, it's weigh day again. Thankfully, after my weekend descent into old behaviours, I got straight back on plan Monday. Tuesday night was a meal out with some friends (would have preferred this to be later in the week so I could have had more on plan days behind me) but the rest of the week went...

Hi Jo, Are you a more eloquent, better realised version of me?! I relate to so much of what you're saying (and would love the link to those OA books please.) The last two years have been so hard with covid/isolation - so much of our lives became online, which meant that people were sharing the...

Sorry - i've not checked in for a bit, other than my post from last week, which was sort of accountability for me. I mostly made good choices over the weekend, but despite taking shakes with me, I didn't actually have any. I started off much better than I ended, but for full accountability...

Gamey, so sorry to hear about the loss of your best friend. Take it easy. x

Hey anna.claire, Sorry, i've been a bit MIA, but just catching up with you now. I really relate to so much of what you're saying - especially about the seeing friends/family thing. I had my second child at the start of the first lockdown and have felt like the last two years, i've been...

We’re away with friends for the weekend, not looking forward to Monday’s weigh in. I’m making good choices, but they aren’t necessarily following any plan. Left the kids at home today and went for a mum’s lunch to a delicious restaurant, had two courses - fish and minimal carbs, then couldn’t...

Hey Newme! Sounds like you’ve got through those tricky first couple of days and you’re getting to the sweet spot! I love a shake blended with ice when it’s hot. I nearly always make them with a lot more water than suggested to increase my water intake. Constantly weeing! 😂😂 Whereabouts are you...

Hey all, it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve updated. When I last CWP, this forum was a lot more active, but it doesn’t seem to be anymore, which is a bit disheartening when regularly posting. Anyway, the last two weeks have been fine. I’ve been plodding on. Last week was a 4lb loss and...

Monday weigh in: -4lb! 🙌 26lb lost so far. I’m sort of ending up having a meal each weekend, though yesterday’s was such a bust! Went out for the day and met my brother who suggested a pub to eat at, which was horrifically busy. They had no salad! I ended up with chicken thigh skewers and...

How are you finding 1:1? This is week 5 for me, and i'm down just over 1and a half stone. I did 1:1 when it was still called Sole Source and it was great because I didn't have to think about food/what I could eat - hence doing Exante this time (because, cheaper!) I need to think about what my...

Day three since pizza-gate, and it's fair to say i'm absolutely starving today - heading back into Ketosis is ROUGH. Scales looked good this morning though (-2lb lighter than yesterday!) so i'm using that as a motivator to get through today! Last night I had the shepherds pie and I really like...

Another week, another weigh in. -2lb this week. I’m trying not to be disheartened by a smaller loss, because 1) it’s still good, and 2) I had two meals out over the weekend - one being near enough two pizzas I gorged myself on at my friend’s 40th. 🙈 I was only saved from booze as I was driving...

Being out of routine is hard, hope your little one is feeling better and you can refocus. xx

Oh, it’s so hard Mich - especially when those comfort food/binge connections are so hard to break. Try not to be hard on yourself as it can only make things worse, in my opinion. Work out a plan that is sustainable for you, which Exante in the week seems to sound like. xx

Another busy weekend! We had a family meal on Saturday night - beef stew with mash and dumplings - I ate stew and the green veg, and luckily my brother in law was there as he finished off the rest for me! I shared my pudding with my girls, so avoided eating that. Was a bit worried that the stew...

Amazing loss so far, well done Georgia!

Well, it’s been a week! Monday weigh in was -5lb, taking me to a stone in two weeks - an amazing start, but I’m fully expecting a slow down this week. Tuesday night I went out for dinner with friends to a burger restaurant. I had a burger salad which was delicious - I ate the whole lot, and a...

Hey Amee, I’ve been a bit quiet this week, just catching up now. 5lbs is fantastic - well done! Here’s hoping you get to speak to “the guy” at church this weekend! 🤞

Busy weekend with kids dance classes and seeing friends. Saturday we went to a friend's house for dinner - roast beef. I had planned on eating, thinking it would be easy to have some beef and veggies. It was a shame as the beef was a little overcooked, but still nice to have some "food!" It's...

Hey - don't beat yourself up about it - it doesn't sound like a slip up, it sounds like you've planned and considered before going in for a meal, and if you enjoyed it, that's great, and nothing to feel bad about. When I did CWP years ago, my consultant said that I should eat a meal every...

You’ve got to make it work for you, so that sounds like a great idea. And you’re 2lb down which is fantastic! 🙌

Yep, I’m with you on the pizzas. So much potential, and yet… the big question is if you resisted your daughter’s pizza and she had a good evening sticking to your traditions. xx

Good luck for weigh in! 🤞

You’re doing brilliantly Gamey! 🙌🙌🙌

Friday Supposed to be at work but my youngest was ill, and I’m feeling pretty crappy too. This morning, we both napped together which meant first product at 12.30! Tbh, I actually didn’t feel that hungry till then - I’d had quite a bit of juice/fruit tea (which wasn’t ideal when I was pinned on...

Choco balls are ok, taste a bit like the choc shake with some bits of rice crispies stuck in there. At least it makes a nice change!

Thursday Another home day - this one, I get the morning with my eldest and pick the youngest up from nursery at 1pm. Had my haircut today, at 9am, so was slightly worried about my tummy rumbling whilst I was there. (I normally have my first product at 10am-ish) All was fine and I had a black...

Wednesday Wednesday is a day with my youngest. We were mostly at home, but went out to meet a friend for lunch. I spent the whole journey there agonising about what to do - should I eat? What could I eat? Do I be honest? Say I’ve already had a big breakfast? Anyway, I just said - I’m not eating...

Busy couple of days so didn’t do a Tuesday update, but it was basically just work! Yesterday the Cambridge 1:1 sachets I bought arrived and I was so excited! Haha. I tried the macaroni cheese, which was ok, but the recommended water meant that it was very sloppy. Still, it was good to have some...

Passing a chip shop daily? Intense! But just shows how good your resolve is by not going in! xx

Oh Amee - poor you. Nothing worse than exhausted tiredness. Hope a few early nights sorts you out? Maybe try doing the 800 plan and have a small meal of an evening?

Monday Weekly Weigh in: -10lb! 🙌🙌 Pretty happy with that for the first week. I know it’s mostly water, but already the big pouch of a tummy feels smaller. Definitely a good motivator, but I’m already steeling myself for a smaller loss next week, and making sure it doesn’t demotivate me. B...

I’ve yet to have any pots - I just bought the 4 week box to start with but I’ll put some on my next order I think!

We’re going to need weekly weigh ins and weekly updates on the hottie! 😂❤️

It’s so hard with leftover food isn’t it? I realised that a lot of extra calories sneak in around children’s tea time - clearing up their uneaten food. I’m using it as a learning curve - reducing portion size. Giving them the same meal two nights in a row. Making my husband the same food so I’m...

Saturday and Sunday Weekend was more successful than I had hoped. Saturday, my daughter has ballet and then we met a friend in the park and went back to theirs for kids lunch - grownups weren't eating, so this was easy to avoid food. I took my morning 1/2 shake in the car and a 1/2 bar which...

Firstly, woohoo on the 9lb loss! Great stuff. Secondly, I NEED to know more about this tummy fluttering, melting on the spot moment! Very exciting! xx

Hey Gamey, some great advice here about relearning habits. I am doing old school 600 because it's very clear cut. Last time I did a VLCD, I thought i'd cracked it because I lost weight and stuck to it - turns out it's easy to stick to the 600 plan once you're stuck in because it's so clear cut...

Those sound like great visitors! Hour long muddy walk sounds like you made the most of the weather too. The butternut squash soup one is my least favourite so far. Do you eat as is, or add stuff to it to make it palatable? xx

Friday. It’s a work day for me in the office, so being organised in the morning was key! I absolutely love the portable electric blender I bought - it’s so efficient and no lumps! B: (approx. 10.30ish) caramel & toffee 1/2 shake, mixed with coffee L: 1/2 Strawberry shake. Had at 1pm because my...

Hope you’ve had a good day today Gamey! xx

Oh, that’s sad for you and your daughter - maybe try the Exante pizza kits, or lo dough? Maybe you could make a new tradition - something that fits in, like doing homemade pizzas (that way you’re in control of what you’re making?) xx

that’s a great week, even with a migraine you still managed to make good choices and stay the same! 👏👏 Fingers crossed for a good week this week! xx

Sounds like a great day! I didn't get any of the juiced options, might do for next month. I didn't like coffee last time I did this, but it definitely expands my options and makes my morning coffee more interesting adding in a shake! Fab to have started a project in the evening to keep your...

Sometimes theres a benefit to living in the countryside - no takeaways near me at all, and none deliver either. 2lb off is fantastic - well done! xx

Thursday! My ketosticks confirmed that I'm in ketosis, which helped to explain why I could wait until 1pm for my first product (that and being very busy with some work meant I didn't have time to think much about it!) It also meant that I crammed them all into the afternoon. I am still getting...

Yesterday was another good day on plan, but it did require some serious willpower. Tried with splitting two products to give me more smaller meals through the day, which sort of worked. Felt very hungry during the afternoon, despite drinking loads. Hoping for ketosis soon to make things a bit...

Sounds like you had a fab day! Day 3/4 are usually the worst for cravings I’ve heard - hopefully it’s better today. I too am trying to get timings right. I tend to split my breakfast product so that I can have something in the afternoon around pick up time. Might try your timings today!

Sounds like you’re handling doing it around your daughter perfectly. It’s so hard with children isn’t it? I remember my mum being on a diet nearly my whole childhood, and sitting me down at 12 to say I was getting a bit chubby, which destroyed me at the time! Yesterday was a good day on plan...

Great work yesterday Coffee! I find evenings hard too. I try and distract myself with a bath or a project. I might start knitting again! 😂😂

Great work Gamey! Well done for ignoring the sabotaging thoughts - I’m sure you’ll see the reward on the scales. xx

Ooh, I might have that one today! Yesterday was the salted caramel one which was ok with a coffee. Sounds like a successful day! xx

I could have written that myself Amee - I did Cambridge back in 2014 and the only savoury one I liked in the end was a bolognese one. I basically lived off rice pudding! 😂 I think because of the success last time with 3, I’m going to give it a go. The reason it changed was because it was a...

Deffo sounds like a good fail there Gamey! Well done in double digits! 👌🙌

Slightly regretted drinking lots of water last night, but it stopped me going to the larder for snacks. Yesterday was: B: Salted Caramel 1/2 Shake L: (very late, like 3.30pm by the time i got home from the car debacle) Cranberry and dark choc bar, which was ok. S: Other 1/2 of the salted...

Fab Amee! Whatever reason, I’m glad to have an accomplice going through this journey too. 👏👏 xx

Today has been a NIGHTMARE! I had some tea in the morning and water, with 1/2 of my first shake just before 10am - I had salted caramel, which didn’t taste particularly salty, but it was fine. Took my daughter for a PCR test because nursery won’t accept negative LFTs. On the way back, I ran...

Good luck for today Amee! Have you got your own diary yet? I found posting so helpful last time I did this, way back in 2014, so planning on daily posts as much as possible!

Morning! So, I stood on the scales (I was going to do it last night, but forgot!) 18st 7lb start weight. the first stone has come and gone twice in the last year, so I’m hopeful that the first week is a good loss. I’ve got up, had a cup of ginger tea and I’m ready for the day. I packed my...

So, I’m ready for tomorrow I think! 😬😬 Not sure if having a week to prepare has been good or not, as there’s also been a lot of self sabotaging with what I’ve eaten. Things I’ve bought in preparation are: - keto sticks: so that I can check whether I’m in ketosis (I’m hoping that if I’m in a...

Has your parcel arrived? Mine did, but it was missing the additional water enhancers - they were great and a replacement is on its way. (Not sure when I’ll see them!)

Sounds like you’re doing really well Gamey with lots of challenges along the way to test you. xx

Thanks so much for this Ali - I’ll be checking out the electrolyte drink. I’ve got everything ready to start on Monday, I think!

I’m going to play by ear, but I think I’ll start with just MR, I want to try and avoid food for a bit!

Hi AliGal - I’ve been mooching about this evening and seen you on the Exante logs and keto. My plan is Exante for a bit and then onto keto so I thought I’d pop by and say hello and follow for ideas/support! Happy New Year!

Hey Grammy, You’ve started brilliantly! The real challenge is getting past day 3/4, which I’m sure you remember from last time! Keeping healthy snacks in the house will really help too, I’m sure! Looking forward to following your journey. xx

Hello! So, I’ve been on Minimins before - successfully loosing 4 stone on the Cambridge diet back in 2014. That was pre-wedding and pre-babies! I was pretty focussed during the first 12 weeks of the Cambridge diet, sticking to three products and occasionally having a low carb meal. What I...

I think it’s Add A Meal. from research, the old “total plan” was 3 sachets and then add a meal after 4 weeks, but they have since changed and now recommend 3 products and a 200cal meal, or a 4th product. My four week box arrived yesterday but I’m starting on Monday, getting my headspace right...

Hey! I’m waiting patiently for my delivery at the moment, but will start next week, so will be a bit behind you. Looking forward to following your journey! xx

Wahoo! Well done for your loss lovely. Plus, a run is still a run - get it when you can. :-) xx

I'm a Tuesday weigher - only because it's the only day for the local one! I agree though - beginning of the week keeps weekends in check! Hope little one is feeling better, and you're chicken soup is working well! :-) xx

What a great weekend! Well done on keeping track - I totally would have blown it after the 2nd vodka, and the night would have ended with shots and cheesy chips! V. impressed! I really need some of your exercise motivation. Went for my first run in months last week, and now struggling to...

Hey, good to see you back - your thread is one of great knowledge. Don't be too hard on yourself - lots to cope with, getting back into a routine again, and you seem to be getting there, so well done! :-) One of my faves with cauliflower is to roast it in the oven with turmeric, cumin and...

Poppet12 - Now i'm worried - I'm 5'5"-5'6" and my target is 12st. This is purely because I know it's un-achievable for me to maintain anything lower (been there, done that.) Whether this alters when I get back somewhere near, who knows, but until then, i'm going to keep that in my sights! Good...

Hope the curry night was good! Must have a look at the curry club book at group - love curries, plus they are an easy way to get a whole load of speed foods in! xx

Hi all, Busy weekend! Handled not too badly I think... Friday: B: overnight oat with yoghurt, coconut flavouring, mango, pineapple and banana (yum!) S: Apple L: Wholemeal pasta with green pepper, sweetcorn and kidney beans, with cold sliced beef + muller greek coconut yoghurt. S: toffee muller...

Wow - what a day! I would have been shattered! You are encouraging me to get off my backside and move a bit more... Have a good time at the pub tonight, by the looks, you've earned it! xx

Lunch looks lovely today! Hope you're feeling a bit better, and you get the rest you need over the weekend. xx

Whoop! Well done! :-) xx

So, day 2. Feeling positive. Didn't get my HIIT training in, but did manage a walk. B: Leftover rice and hExA milk (I tried to make a quick rice pudding. I ended up burning my mouth.) with (syn) raspberry jam S: Orange. Which was gross. I was reminded why they are reserved for cooking things...

tell me about it! hahaha...

Don't worry too much about eating the biscuits/crackers etc - you had a craving, and as you said, scratched that itch. Well done on being accountable - if not on your diary, at least here. Amazing body magic day - well done! I wish I could walk to work sometimes (not when it's wet and horrible)...

Agree with the others Ruth - try and look after yourself. Maybe explain to the boss that you're under the weather but know how important it is to be at work, and do reduced hours for a couple of days if you really feel you need to go in? xx

Hey Sam, I have to go to group. I stop going, I start cheating. It keeps me accountable and keeps me going! Good to see you've adjusted your target too - 12st will keep me in overweight BMI too, but I know myself that anything lower isn't achievable, like yourself. I think I just weigh heavy...

Yay - well done on a good day. And a morning run too - I am hoping your motivation rubs off on me! Don't panic too much about group - I think things like this are as important. For me it is staying accountable, and that means people having to read my ramblings! Have a good evening! Flic. xx

My advice? Plan. Plan plan plan. Saying this, i've pretty much completely failed to do that today. I have some chicken out, and some veg of varying degrees of freshness in the fridge which I will attempt to make something out of for dinner... Don't worry about the cake - i'm not sure I would...

Hi Lotte, I'm getting back to it. I am much better being accountable - whether here, or in group. I am going to stick to group as much as I can and hopefully start seeing the scales shift! Well done on sticking with it. We're here to support you! :-) Flic. xx

Hey Samssassy, I am basically in exactly the same position as you. I love your realistic goals you've set (kind of wish i'd bought a countdown too!) mine are very similar. I have been here before, lost before, gained before and was also completely in denial about how much I would weigh at my...

Here to follow! I'm a returner too. Though I joined last night and it was the consultant's last meeting! Hoping for a good one next week. Hope your migrane has eased. Plenty of water. Flic. xx

Motivation on the Scale If you want a giggle - read my CWP log https://www.minimins.com/threads/my-personal-weight-loss-journey.344694 I have just been reading through some of it myself. Glutton for punishment, me? Of course. Oh, the highs and the planning and the feeling of positivity that I...

Hey Jess, Just coming for a follow - I love your exercise motivation - hoping that I can get some of that back too! Flic. xx

Hi Ruth, Just popping by after catching up on your diary. Hope you get a docs appointment sooner - doesn't sound nice. Well done for still making good choices even whilst feeling crummy! Flic. xx

Hi Sam, Just popping by to say hi - i'm a restarter here, and know that the support of others is always helpful. Thanks for your "Calling all newbies" post - really got me back in the spirit of SW. Hope to see you back here soon! Flic. xx

Hello all, Well, i'm back again. Back to Slimming World to start the slog again. Honestly, I couldn't be more disappointed in myself for ending up back here... I joined SW originally back in 2014 before a friends wedding. Lost a couple of stone, then started to put it back on...in my haste to...

Morning lovelies, Back to it - sort of...a very busy weekend away as it was my hen do! Lots of booze and food consumed, but I did go for a run around London on Saturday Morning - how's that for dedication! Getting "back to normal" today, after being tucked up in bed at 8.30pm last night. How...

Hey Kat, Sounds like you had a fab time away with your friend - well done on getting stuck straight back in, those scales will be back to a 12-number before you go away i'm sure. It's the final push now before your holiday - I know you can do it! xx

Aw, that's rubbish news Liz! As everyone's said though - you're already stuck into a healthier and better lifestyle and the potential that it's reversible will keep you going i'm sure. xx

Thanks ladies for your support! I'm glad that i'm not the only one who has had this problem/issue. I am being strict to a point, but also ensuring that i'm not "dieting" just making good choices. For example, there have been biscuits in the office, but I don't eat them because I know that this...

Morning lovelies, So, i've made another decision and have stopped having sachets... After seeing the doctor last week, I discussed diet and how I was struggling and she gave me information on Binge Eating. This is something I talked about before on here, but something which I am still...

That's so incredible and just what I needed to hear today! Well done you star - hope I can take some inspiration! xx

That's incredible Clare. I'm so proud that you've found that balance between food and exercise and even better that you have a balance between events. Just wondering what you eat usually on a "normal" day? I'm still struggling to find the right balance, and always find that hearing what other...

Morning all, Clare - Yay! Hope you're doing well. Well - weekend was fairly disastrous. Well, it was but it wasn't. Saturday was bike ride, breakfast into town to get some bits...not a very good lunch, then homemade chilli and rice for dinner. Yesterday was run, then we went out for lunch for...

Have an amazing time away Kat! xx

Thanks Liz - will deffo try that next time! xx

Oh Kiwi, hope those antibiotics are over soon - nothing worse than feeling crummy, no wonder you're not wanting to cook or focus on what to eat. I have a gain too - mine i'm hoping is a tonne of water in all of my aching muscles - my body needs to get used to the additional gym and longer...

Thanks for popping by. I did think about doing the 5:2, but I did it before very unsuccessfully - my problem was that because I craved stuff on the two days, the five days I ate tons of crap! What i've learned from all my messing about the last couple of weeks is that I need to just keep...

Oh, you poor love. Yes, it's not as you planned, but he'll be here soon and like Angel said - you've got a whole life of seeing each other. Don't stress about food too much or worry about a pizza...keep yourself positive because he'll be here soon. xx

Morning lovelies, Well - good day/bad day yesterday. Aching A LOT from my gym class, but it didn't stop me having a walk at lunch and a run after work - fastest run and 30 minutes non-stop! Felt AMAZING afterwards. By the time I got home, I was aching a bit more so decided on a nice bath to...

That's fab Tigg! Went to the gym last night - my bum muscles are seriously regretting that decision today! xx

Morning all, Pretty good day yesterday. Food was: B: porridge (made with water) mixed fruit and a spoon of fat free yoghurt S: Yoghurt and 1/2 choc shake L: Salad and an apple S: Homemade flapjack D: mushroom and kale omelette and baked beans (only ate half as I wasn't too hungry) followed by...

Hope you're feeling better soon Kiwi, Well done on your run Liz. I'm feeling smug after running even more than the programme - 30 mins without stopping last night! :) I'm week 7/9 of the couch25k program, so i'm almost there! Once I get to week 9 (which actually is 30 mins of running!) I can...

I'm a waffling waffler too today Angel, and we know how I love a good waffle! AMAZING WELL DONE on your 100% day, and the scale movement! You're SOOO going to be seeing those 12s again before your week away. There are so many things that you say that ring true to me too. Eating completely...

Morning all, What a difference a day, good run, and good night's sleep makes! So, do you know what I realised yesterday? I am basically "doing" step 5! Yesterday went like this: Breakfast - small slice of bread, spinach and dry fried egg Morning snack - FF greek yoghurt and 1/2 shake Lunch -...

Hey Purple, 7lbs is not bad for an all inclusive scoffing holiday - I bet at least half of that is going to be water weight. Get back running and pull back a little for a week or so, and i'm sure it'll drop off. Me? Running wise i'm doing fine...food wise - getting there! It's a blooming long...

So, I think we all know i'm in limbo at the moment - not sure of which way to go, so i've been researching and considering getting a personal trainer. I like having a strict plan to work to, whether it be the couch25k or my initial SS experience, and am thinking that combining the two with a...

You star! Look at how slim you are!! Well done on the water, and the motivation. xx

I am soooooo with you Angel! Struggling massively with evenings at the moment - I thought the way to combat was to be good ALL day and enjoy an evening meal, but I was allowing myself to get too hungry which leads to picking (and we all know about pickers and their knickers!) This morning i'm...

Morning all, Not good evening...basically stuffed my face unnecessarily and felt like crap all evening. Come to the conclusion that I don't have the willpower to only have shakes during the day - I get too hungry and then binge in the evening which is not good. This morning I have had...

haha - thanks hun. I'm enjoying the exercise more and more which amazes me as i've never been one of those kind of people. I just need to find a healthy balance with what i'm eating now to loose the last bit and then maintain... xx

Two words for you...Water Weight. Get a good couple of days under your belt - i'm sure your scales will start to shift. Just remember because you're still doing SS, any variation will show a massive gain straight off, so don't panic. Get your water down today, and stick with it - it'll be gone...

5 DAYS! You must be super excited! Well done on getting those scales back down - a super effort...now, if I could only emulate you! Have a fab week lovely, I know you'll be counting the minutes! xx

Morning Angel, Don't beat yourself up about it - I know this weekend was tough for you. Did you enjoy being off plan and had a lovely time? I was equally pretty naughty but did do exercise over the weekend with running and cycling, so i'm feeling pretty positive this morning, despite being...

Morning ladies, Well done on your run Liz - yes, no PB, but still an incredible time and considering I get stitch on a 5k run, I'm mega impressed! This weekend I ate way too much food. I did go for a bike ride on Saturday morning and run on Sunday - now running for 25mins non-stop which i'm...

GOOOOOOOOD Morning, So, I chickened out. I decided that since i'm not really following any plan, am going to order some slim and save sachets and I was unsure of CDC's reaction - I decided that I won't be seeing her now till at least after the wedding. So, I am now in charge of my own...

Morning all, Well - another pretty successful day yesterday. I do need to work out my own plan of action I think. Yesterday was another semi step 2 day, with additional fruit but no third product...I did fail with a flapjack... though :( This is what I mean about a plan of action. I need to...

Morning lovelies, I feel like a bit of a newbie to your club, but totally agree with this keeping us going on a straight and narrow. Finished my Week 6 of couch25k last night with a full 25mins of running - something unthinkable a couple of weeks ago! Feeling really positive with it. Diet...

Blooming weather scuppering your run. Amazing on the BP and heart rate, and the weight's not bad either considering the uniform and TOTM! Well done lovely. I didn't feel like it, but went for my run last night and i'm so pleased that I did - non-stop running for 26 mins which was great! I...

You amazing woman you - that really is dedication to go out that late (although I much prefer running in the dark - less people can see me!) Have a fab shift, and don't worry about the weekend weight - just know you're a darn sight closer than if you hadn't have stuck with it. xx

Ooh, you're sooo close! The 10s will be yours before the weekend, i'm sure! xx

Well done on sticking with it Angel, Have a good sleep and we'll catch up with you later. xx

Morning all, Pretty good yesterday, though I did have additional with my dinner (nut cutlet from Sainsburys,) I had no third product as I didn't want it. What I think I might do is continue to limit day food and use calories for in the evening - I can manage in the day and then can have a nice...

Hey Kat, Glad you're feeling more chipper - we're both in quite a similar place at the moment, so I know a good cheer on always helps. Well done on your forward planning - i'm sure you'll get out on Sunday - the fresh air will help the hangover! Just think, whilst you're out walking, i'll be...

Hey Kat, thanks for popping by - i'm so lucky to have such fabby support. Been reading back at last week's thoughts to this weeks...I think i'm going around in circles at the moment, wanting to move up, but actually not doing it properly/trying hard enough. Because of the hen do coming up where...

Viita, you superstar! Well done lovely - you'll be back in those 10s before you know it. xx

Morning All, Thanks Viita for the tip - I know that Kat uses other products sometimes too, so might put an order in after I see CDC at the weekend... So, yesterday was actually really good. Breakfast - yoghurt and 1/2 peanut bar Lunch - rice pudding snack - 1/2 toffee bar dinner - lentil stew...

Morning lovely, Well done on your on plan day yesterday - I know you can do it. Yesterday went really well for me - the sunny weather helped! Hoping for this sunshine to at least stay around until lunch - I want to keep up this walking at lunchtime as it keeps me motivated, but also stops me...

Thanks Viita and Angel, Unfortunately, it's about 3 weeks worth of damage now...and it's not just 4lbs either... I feel SOOO crap today, like i've undone so much of my hard work in a matter of days. Not that I am looking for excuses, but wedding stuff and money stuff is playing on my mind so...

Morning my lovely, I am so with you - I am just struggling to stay with it at the moment - social events pick up pace, and I can't seem to get myself back to being good. It's like Sat, Sun - off plan, Monday - try and be on plan and fail, then dither about for the rest of the week. Though I...

I am with you Kiwi - definitely need to have a good week - too much messing around and treats... xx

Eugh, well - ventured onto the scales this morning...it was not a pretty sight. Let's put it this way...Angel - you've almost caught me up! Feel crap and fat this morning. Planning on sort of step 2 the rest of the week - despite best laid plans...I will allow myself a piece of fruit before my...

Very jealous of your upcoming holiday! I was still looking for woolly jumpers at the weekend! Haha. I have no idea about surgery, but think it needs to be a thought about decision - do you know anyone who's had procedures you can talk to? xx

Cheese, port, pudding and pie all consumed...my 5k run did not cancel it out, so it's back to best behaviour today... Wedding dress is absolutely gorgeous Liz! NO wonder you feel proud - what an amazing achievement. Have a fab week girlies! xx

Good Morning! Had a fabulous weekend - not on plan at all, but really enjoyable. Bike ride Saturday, a bit of shopping with OH and lunch, pottered about Saturday arvo with the dogs, and had a nice catch up with family, then yesterday was my Sunday run, out for Sunday lunch with a group of...

You lot are all superstars! I must admit, I am feeling soooo much better today in general - I had a crap one yesterday. Thanks Julie for popping by and of course my old faithfuls - I bow to your superior knowledge! I think I am with you Jen on step 5 - basically, I started to see myself falling...

oh Clare, poor you - hope the results come back ok... That's amazing news that you're maintaining and you've managed to find a way forward that works for you. I must admit, i'm struggling at the moment, but nothing that can't be sorted with hard work and knuckling down i'm sure!! Keep in touch...

Oh god Angel, tell me about it! I'm seriously on the brink here!! You absolute superstar! Good luck with the run. I think I actually prefer doing it in the dark as less people around to see me puffing and panting! I'm supposed to do my run tonight, but phone's at home and i've forgotten my...

Hello lovely ones, Well - I think i've learned something...I am not ready for this. This being two fold. 1) No products 2) Being a vegetarian I am feeling really crap about everything at the moment... Food wise this week, I have not been having products and I have also not had a formal plan...

Hi lovely, I am still here! I'm not really sure what i'm doing at the moment...feel a bit all over the place...going to assess over the weekend and formulate a plan on Monday... Hope you're all having good weeks. xx

That's fabby news Angel - glad i've inspired something! Once i'm running a full 5k, i'll be purchasing some new trainers, but i'm not allowed until then - it'll be a treat for me. xx

Loving the trainers - much smarter than mine! Have a fab day. xx

Morning! So, yesterday went pretty well - I actually didn't end up finishing my dinner since I felt full - listening to this body of mine, rather than just mindlessly eating. Got yoghurt, stewed plums and oats for breakfast, soup for lunch and some nuts for a snack if I want them. Running...

Morning Kat, Well - that was like a rollercoaster read! Perhaps I should log in over the weekends! Glad to hear the little one is ok - nothing worse than being far away and not able to do anything about it. Well done on the weekend walking - i'm sure you'll have mitigated most of the gain with...

Allowing fluctuation is a sensible move - if only I could get my fluctuation between two points I actually want them at, then we'd be laughing! Decided to go off piste this week...just having a break and working out what to do moving forward - i'll still be logging here I just need a clear head...

Morning lovelies, Sounds like you all had fab weekends. Mine was filled with food and lots of dog walking - though probably not enough to mitigate all the cheese I ate! Back to normal today. xx

Morning my lovely ones. Busy weekend with friends - our second Christmas celebrations on Saturday and then a lovely day with my best friend and OH yesterday. Lots of off plan food consumed and a fab time had. So, this week, i'm trying something slightly different...i've decided to do a week of...

Kat, that's fab news! A shame you were so close to the 12s, but you'll be there soon enough - most likely by tomorrow! Haha. Busy busy for you today - have a great one! xx

Morning lovelies. So, i'm powering through. Last night I made a fab chickpea and cauliflower curry for dinner last night - all weighed and measured and within cal intake, and a sort of ratatouille thing which I am having for my lunch today. Remembered to weigh today and scales are still up from...

Those roses are gorgeous and you both look sooo happy! I'm sticking with cambridge for the next couple of weeks and see where I go from there - need to have a chat with CDC either way... Those 10lbs will be gone soon - it's because you were so well behaved before you went that most likely it's...

Morning lovelies, Looking like another soggy run again tonight - I won't let it deter me, though might need to put my trainers in the washing machine! haha. Today's run will be halfway through the 8 week program - I think it gets much harder from here. Well done on your reset day Kiwi, and fab...

Morning Angel, Your planning sounds fab, and it does sound like 5:2 will suit you - this is the sort of principle I will be working with too in the long run - being well behaved during the week, and then being a little more relaxed at weekends - that way, we still get to enjoy life! xx

:) :) :) WHOOOOO! AMAZING! :) :) :) Well done Clare - that's amazing news. You must feel amazing. xx

Hey lovely, Is this as a result of all of my faffing of late with not knowing what to do/move forward with?! You certainly have a lot planned lady! my life goes: Hen do, end of march, wedding end of may, and that's about it! haha. Are you thinking of setting yourself a "top target" weight to...

Hey Laura, Well done for popping in. It does seem like Step 2 suits better. It is difficult to move up the steps and still loose once you're used to the big SS losses, but you know that either way, you're closer to the end than the start of your journey. Sounds like your birthday and Germany...

Well done lovely on the 10.8 - that illusive 10.7 will be with you soon, i'm sure. What's your usual daily plan, food wise? Trying to collate as many people's advice before I take the leap! xx

I think I was posting as you were! We're saying pretty similar things I think, and I am with you on trying to find less extreme measures moving forward. You should be really proud that you didn't go backwards after Christmas, and it is probably indicative of your knowledge of dieting why I...

So, I'm coming to the conclusion that I have a low after running and then pick back up afterwards. Perhaps what I should do is include more exercise on the "off days" from running to get more balanced. I was talking to OH last night about what to do moving forward. I find him a bit difficult to...

Have a fab time lovely! xx

Who knows then...seems like everyone's scales are playing up this morning? I forgot to weigh so who knows what games mine are playing. Feeling a bit better this morning - i'll get to my log in a bit! Haha. xx

Well done Liz! I went out last night and about 3 minutes in, it started chucking it down. I was soaked through by the end, but managed much more running, so feeling positive. Hip hurts this morning as a consequence of running at a funny angle I think... xx

Boo - blooming scales - they never do what they're supposed to. Just the knowledge that you're closer to the 12s is pretty good! Have a fab day - don't wish it all away! xx

Oh Clare, It's so frustrating! Are you a bit achey this morning? Your muscles might be retaining fluid which would account for the gain. A blooming pain when you're doing so well, but keep with it my love. Hope you have a good day, xx

AH, you're back! I can't believe you went straight to work - I would have been straight under the duvet! Lol. Atleast it's only a couple of weeks till you get to see him again - I bet you're already counting down the days. 4lbs is nothing, and you must be feeling fab - a good week and you'll be...

Good luck for WI lovely. So you're not actually eating anything in the day? I'm not sure i'd be able to manage that! I eat food in the day - soup, porridge, fruit + shakes/bars, then have a pig out evening when I don't stay on plan. I think this is the problem. I am starting to resent the...

That's fab Angel - all the little things do add up - every bit of exercise you can squeeze in will only help! :) Have a fab work day. xx

Jen, I am soooo glad you popped up. I'm sat here grinning and nodding to myself - you seem to have a mainline into my brain and what i'm thinking, but seem to be able to make sense of it all, which is what i'm struggling with. I know you're right, and I just have to look back at photos from...

Oh, all sounds fab Mrs! Well done on those scales - you're flaming well at target! :) :) :) I'm going to give step 3 another couple of weeks and then I might go "rogue" like you and do my own thing involving shakes and soup and evening meals. What's your current day plan in total Clare - like...

Wonderful positive attitude this morning - brightening me up a bit from my slump. I know you'll do it - like you said - if not Thurs, then deffo by Sat and you can enjoy your day out. xx

Gold star for Angel! Well done on not caving my dear - a big achievement. And only 2 drinks too - very restrained. Plenty of water today and you'll be fine. Roll on Thurs! xx

Thanks Angel. I just haven't quite made my mind up yet about what to do. Like I said, part of me is tempted to hop back on the SS wagon and power through to my lower target, but I would struggle with my running, and also - as i've said before, I want to try and do this last bit without going...

Clare, you are SOOO on my wavelength - so glad we can "hold hands" as we go through these phases together! Yes, completely with you and the SW/5:2 combo. I need to do a bit more thinking into my ultimate maintenance plan, but i've always thought about allowing myself two treats a week, but for...

Aw, thanks Sophie! Glad my many hours of rambling are helpful to someone else! You can smash those 2st12lbs away by May, just stick with it and you'll be there before you know it! xx

I've literally posted something so similar on your log Clare! I'm really considering "ending" my CWP journey at the end of March. (cue shocked noises!) I've always said i'll work up the steps, but i'm almost becoming more than this diet...just this step is teaching me about where I want to go...

I'm so with you and that Clare - The last thing I want to do is go back to SS/SS+ partly because I don't think it's actually a good thing to rely on. I want to be able to shift this weight and maintain by healthy eating, cutting back and exercising, not falling back on a pretty extreme diet to...

Forever*autumn - 15lb Melissa85 - 11lbs -7 (4lbs to go) Tiggemma - 10lbs -1 (9lbs to go) Lizwhite29 - 8lbs Emmamb - 14lbs - 10.5lbs (3.5 to go) Melinwelin - 9lbs - 5lbs (4lbs to go) Lucy1980 - 14lbs - 5 1/2 - 2 - 4 (2 1/2 to go) Mia - 10lbs - 3lbs, -1lb, -3lb (3lbs to go) emmapetty - 20lbs -...

Thanks Clare. Yes, WI was great - just shows what happens when I stick to the plan...which is something I need to do more. Despite best laid plans and thoughts, I still wasn't very good at the weekend. Both days went like this: - Breakfast: on plan. Drinking plenty of water. - Lunch: mostly on...

WI was good thanks Liz - 2lb down. Just shows what 4 good days on plan will do. Just need to keep it up this week now! I'd be showing off my medal too. Puts you in a great position and motivation wise for your next race. Sometimes, I have to keep reminding myself the difference in a year...I...

Well done Jen on sticking with it even when things are a little trickier. Hope your friend's feeling better soon. xx

Morning Clare, Sounds like you're doing brilliantly - well done on all the exercise and activity - you must be feeling fab! I feel like i'm in limbo at the moment - not ready to give up on my CWP journey and steps, but also wanting and needing to be ready to stand on my own feet with...

Morning lovelies, That's amazing about your run Liz! you must have felt incredible afterwards. I'd be parading that medal around and wearing it every day! xx

Morning lovely, Well done on your sticking on plan over the weekend - you're doing fantastically. Just think that even if you're not quite in the 12s this week, you'll be blooming close! xx

Morning my lovelies, Busy old start today, which is always good in my books as the day goes quicker. WI sat was great - 2lb down! :) Finally a bit of movement. I was 80-90% good over the weekend...I know I could have been better...the scales are seriously punishing me this morning... Another...

Thanks Leggi, I was experimenting, based on a couple of recipes i'd seen. I've put them below for you: Adzuki and chickpea burgers 49g Adzuki Beans 40g Chickpeas 20g spring onions 10g mushrooms 1 egg. loads of spices - bit of a mixture - cumin, coriander, chilli, garlic and frech chives I...

Get new scales Liz! Well done on your run - i'm not sure a 5.30 start would motivate me either. At least if you were slower, the next run you'll smash this time! My run last night was over 2 minutes faster than the same one last week and more running too - I was shattered by the end of it! I'm...

I'm always here! Lol. I know what it feels like - hence my hanging about! This weekend I am going to stick with it - it'll be the first one in about 3 months. I started to get myself into a routine that I don't deserve yet as I still have hard work to do. We'll all get there and it wasn't even...

Morning lovelies, It's FRIDAY! WI tomorrow, so a good day planned for me. Had one of my friends round last night - cooked chilli for her and OH and I had the previous night's bean burgers and cauli bread. Didn't even so much as touch one of the doritoes that were on the table infront of me, and...

Morning ladies! Brownie points earned - I went and did my run! Got a pain on the top of my one foot this morning? Odd. Tbh, the weather was a bit drizzly and cold but not too bad, so I can't pretend it was gale force winds and sheet rain. Haha. I run in the morning at the weekend, but not sure...

Oh Kat. Don't beat yourself up about it. You've had a brilliant week, and it's one little slip. Try and identify what it was that helped you to succumb last night and move on from it. I know i'd be furious too, but use that additional energy to kick start Friday. Sending hugs - I know it's a...

Do you know Clare - that's so what I would love to do. I've done something similar in the past. The problem with this friend is that she's married to my cousin, who is one of OH's best friends and in a long regretted decision, I asked her to be my bridesmaid. OH finds her really tricky - she has...

NON-DIET RELATED POST ALERT. Don't you just hate passive agressive emails? So my friend sent me an email yesterday - we often catch up this way - and I replied and was telling her about how because OH had a bonus, we'd been able to afford to get a new sofa - our old one is knackered and so we...

Tigg, you sound like you're doing well in that you've got your head back in the right place, which I so think makes a difference. Liz, poor you and those pesky pounds. I wish our bodies were just simple and did what they were supposed to! I'm sure after a good run tonight, it'll sort itself...

GOOOOOOOD Morning. Another 100% on plan day under my belt, and another good day planned today. Run this evening and one of my very good friends is coming for dinner tonight. Her and OH are having chilli and I am having the other half of last night's dinner. Last night's dinner was FAB! I made...

*goes off to get another cup of green tea* Well done Kiwi - having a fab week! Fab news about your ears too - you must be feeling better and to do a 4mile run on a fast day is brilliant. xx

Well done on clinging on my lovely - you're sticking with it and i'm sure the scales will be rewarded. Had another good day yesterday, the scales moved a little bit this morning which has given me a boost. Have a fab Thursday, xx

Why not make some of your own granola type bars Liz? There are loads of good clean eating recipes which don't use refined sugars so are probably better for you than the Naked ones? I must admit, I so sometimes use sweetener with mixed berries, otherwise I find them quite sharp. At the moment, I...

I am feeling hugely motivated with it at the moment - loving the running and noticing that it's easier to do this exercise when i'm not lugging around the extra weight. I just wish my scales would start to reward me! Finally feeling back in the zone, and I now have a clear run up to Saturday's...

Angel - that's fab news! 1lb is 1lb and just shows your determination has paid off with getting straight back to it. Your naughty weekend has probably given your metabolism a little boost too. Great to hear about upping activity too - as the supermarket says "Every Little Helps" and each extra...

Running's going well thanks! Pushed myself last night to do more running than the c25k program specified last night - this week seemed pretty tame with the plan and i'd done more last week so I just thought i'd go for it and see what happened. I ran much more and was really excited to see how...

Morning All, So, I borrowed my colleague's work phone for my run last night - downloaded the same apps to it so I could track my run, ran much more of the distance than last week, and even what the program told me to run, but bloody app failed, so only logged 1/2 my run! GRR! So it's saying 2k...

Whoop - Kiwi, that green tea is obviously working wonders! Well done - not far to go now and you're at pre-Christmas weight! :) xx

Take the compliment Kat! Men are mainly unobservant so when they notice something, they really do - you've done loads of hard work to get to where you are now, so it's justified i'm sure! Hope you has a good rest overnight - here's to another 100% on plan day. xx

How's it going Clare? Did you have a good valentine's weekend with OH? xx

This morning we've been discussing lent, and i've decided to give up meat! This is a big deal for me since i'm a good farmer's daughter which means about 90% of my meals usually revolve around meat. CWP wise, actually - meat doesn't play a huge part which is quite good - i'll only really be...

Note to self: must start drinking green tea again. I always struggle with the end of the cup, but am much more into the apple and pear/pineapple flavoured ones. I drink about 10 cups of peppermint tea a day - I think something about the mintiness stops me being so hungry... Well done on doing...

Ooh, Angel - those size 12s will be a great motivator for your holiday. The wedding is a big focus, but also life beyond - i've started the running thing now, and just hoping to live a fitter and healthier lifestyle - I think Jen said somewhere that there'll always be that fat girl trying to...

Thanks Angel, I hope so! I've done a proper meal plan this week and i'm going to stick to it - The more freedom and cooking for OH that I do, the more opportunity I have to cheat... Last night we went to our friend's house for dinner - burgers and salad - there was french fries and burger buns...

You're back! Sounds like you had an incredible time, and well deserved too. Fab about the JM tops, and outlet shopping (I am v. jealous!) I need some of your willpower - deffo struggling to stick on the straight and narrow with step 3 - weekends are my main nemesis... Well done on getting...

Amazing running Purple! Well done on sticking with it all. xx

Morning Lovelies, Sounds like you had a fab run at the weekend Liz, and even better that those pesky lbs have stayed off. xx

Morning Morning lovelies, Well - the weekend has come and gone...again. Sat WI was a STS which was fine - I think I would have lost had I not had the valentine's meal on Thurs - but it was definitely worth the STS to have a lovely meal with OH. Saturday I was really good - even went into town...

You are a mad woman Liz! But amazing too. Thanks for your help and advice. I'm really looking forward to increasing my running and speeds too. Last night (with the walking too) I did 4km in 32mins - I love runkeeper as I can see my route and start tracking it too - hopefully next week, those...

I'll post to your comment on yours now Liz! Really interesting what you're saying about water retention Tigg - I've never known how to tell, so will keep that in mind once I start running more... I LOVE frozen fruit Liz - this morning my breakfast was mixed berries, cold porridge (made with...

Thanks Liz, That's brilliant to hear about how quick progress is. I'm hoping to improve more with it. The program is great as a starter and my plan following it is: - Finish 9 week C25K program - use runkeeper to track runs and log cals to MFP. - Find a 5k Route and use this for week 10 - 3...

Thanks Angel. I've NEVER, seriously NEVER been a runner. It's not something i'd even considered before, but a couple of ladies in the office do it, and I didn't want to shell out for a gym membership I wasn't using. I'm only two weeks in, but i'm feeling more confident with the program and with...

That's great news to hear about the 10.9 - incredible news! I wish the scales were my friends this week. :( You're so right about that binging switch - I think it's just being aware of it and doing everything not to help it (for me, it's a case of not keeping bad things in the house, or hiding...

Have an amazing time away Kat - enjoy every moment and get back on it on Monday. Is the new smaller top coming with you too? Fab news and a real motivator. Enjoy the pampering and "see" you on your return. xx

Morning all, Well, I had a fabulous run last night - did 5 minutes additional to the program, so definitely ready for the next week now. Downloaded runkeeper which told me that my route was just over 4km - need to get it a little longer, which I think will be fine - there's a couple of extra...

Focus on the slimmer and toned Liz! Sometime's a number's just a number and i'm sure it'll all work itself out - just be patient, like OH says. xx

Hey Liz, With the amount you're running, it's a bit of a conundrum to me as i'm sure you're burning a tonne of calories. I would suggest cutting down the fruit first to see if that makes a difference, if not - try cutting lunchtime carbs, but don't do both at once as you'll never know the...

Oh Clare, I know how you feel - this morning my scales were not behaving either. It's a constant battle and don't get too upset - it's still 1lb off and you're going in the right direction still. Enjoy your socialising, but just be good inbetween (I know, I need to practice what I preach!)...

Have an amazing time in NYC lovely! xx

Morning all, God, I was sooo hungry last night! I did end up adding 80g of rice to my dinner as I was so hungry, but was really good otherwise - even though I could have eaten a horse! Got my running kit with me and tonight it'll be straight out for my run, home for a quick shower and change...

Well done on another 100% day my lovely. Have a great one with your grandson today - hope you have time to prepare for your trip too! xx

Still feeling hungry. I nipped to get an apple at lunchtime and succumbed to a whitworth's berry and white chocolate "shot" also. It's 59 calories and i burned off 92 with my walk back from the shop, so I think it balanced out in the end. I have logged all my dinner and won't be having anything...

Oh, I know exactly how you feel - i'm mid TOTM, but I was so grumpy at the weekend - and of course eating everything in sight! Well done with sticking to plan - I bet with work's freebies it was tricky. Your weekend away is looming - lucky girl. I am so jealous, I love York (and the outlet...

I was really hungry for my breakfast today - I usually have it at about 10.30-11.00 (or even later sometimes.) I even drank 1l of water thinking it might stop the hunger for a bit longer, but 10am I was ready! Today I had cold porridge made with water - 30g of oats and 100g of frozen...

AND - OMG!!! I can't believe you sandwiched in the middle there that this morning you were AT TARGET!! That's fabulous. Even if your official WI is different, you know that you're close now, so it will only motivate you to stick with it! xx

You're back! Put last week behind you and move on. I really struggled after a weekend completely off plan and came to the realisation that i'm never going to get there if I keep on cheating at the weekends! It sounds simple, but was a bit of a revelation for me, and since Monday, i've been...

Much better this week (post weekend blow out.) Went for run two last night and managed to do more than the plan, which I was thrilled about. Step 3 with no evening carbs this week for me, but after the weekend, the scales are only just showing Saturday's weight - hoping for another 1 or 2lb off...

Whoo for 10st10lb! Fab to be back at top target - it's all going in the right way. Hope you have a fab on plan day! xx
