Well, I wasn't so bad this week, it was the week before where I put on 5.5lb(partly due to TOTM and partly to...

    hey TF&G how was the dinner with all the boys? Hope you got through it with all your hair intact. Are you back on track and in the zone after your little blip? I'm always amazed at how easily you can get right back on plan and start losing again. Keep it up hun.

    Lol! Your poor mum, she would've been getting dirty looks after taking the wig off. Lol!! I'll try to remember to post a pic of the one I got. I'm not totally satisfied with it and I'm looking for another one. I've been pretty bad again and put back most of the weight I lost! Its starting to...

    Well I bought one on eBay for £150! Then I came to my senses today and cancelled the order. I'll try to post a link to the page tomorrow morning from the laptop. (On the phone at the mo) it was human hair kinky curly 12 inches. Would look very realistic. I was angry with OH when I ordered it...

    Weekends off the diet!

    LOL! I don't NEED one, I just want a change. I'll have longer hair and my own hair will be protected from all the harsh weather underneath. The problem is, I need to decide whether I want to grow my own hair longer or cut it short again. I get bored easily! Short is much easier to deal with!

    Weekends off the diet!

    Hi guys, TF&G, I'm still around, I've just been preoccupied with finding the right lace wig for the last 2-3 weeks. I can really get obsessed with stuff like that. It also helps distract my thoughts from food. I'v ordered one now, and looking for something else to research online. Egbert and...

    Correction 'the munchies' not the juncture. Eating not waiting with the kids.

    Weekends off the diet!

    Tanks Katierose. How's it going? I'm going through a complete change and have decided to just cut down instead of being drastic as that doesn't always work for me. I plan to exercise when I can too. Don't think I'll lose much by next week as it's TOTM next week and the juncture have started...

    Weekends off the diet!

    Thanks Egbert, I'll get there and stay there sometime! I just have to try different things till I find what I can do long term. I lost a little last week, hope it continues!
  184. Cee

    It's now or never

    Haha! Sounds just like my OH! As for your weight, do you think you might want to speak to your CC about changing things up to boost your losses? Are you measuring? Maybe you're losing inches still?
  185. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Hi guys, I agree with you both about holding off dieting until I'm 'ready', but I hate the sight of myself when I look in the mirror. If I could just lose 1 stone I'd be much happier, and I'd could settle with that until after the baby comes. I have spoken to OH about all the stuff in my head...

    Weekends off the diet!

    Michelleo, are you sure you have the right thread, this one is full of my moaning and not much information :-) Today I tried to get back on to my Weekends off diet but eventually ended up just trying to eat less and eat healthier. So far so good. I'm so fed up of dieting, I just want to be able...

    How do you manage to just get straight back on track all the time? Well done. I'm starting my plan on Monday hopefully. So i take it the swing didn't help your back?

    TOTM?? If you're being generally good don't let it get to you. What style of dress are you generally looking to get? Traditional or something very different?

    Weekends off the diet!

    Hi Egbert and TF&G, not doing great. Haven't lost or gained any weight so that's comforting. I have been on partial strike at home and have not been cooking much leading to Chinese, Yo Sushi, Peri Peri Chickenland (twice) all in one week. I'm hoping I can start again properly on Monday. Looking...

    Hhhaaaeey!! My heart skipped a beat when I read the list of things you accomplished. Booked the registrar and venue! It's finally actually happening!!! This must be so exciting! Even I'm excited lol! Good luck with all the Preps and keep us updated step by step. As far as the diet goes, as long...

    Weekends off the diet!

    Hi ladies. I'm feeling better thanks Egbert. TF&G, it's been too long. Welcome back!! Ready to get going again. I'm going to be more organised with my meals. That should help me stay focused. Hopefully.
  192. Cee

    It's now or never

    Same here lol! Waiting is so hard, I think we were together a whole 10 months before we got married! Not that I'd do that again though. I think I'd wait a little longer if I could do it again. But I was 30 and getting desperate Lolol!!!!

    Wow! March? That's so exciting, only 6 months away!! Have fun with all the planning.

    Weekends off the diet!

    Egbert, you can do it. Keep focused and you'll be fine. Katierose, look how much weight you're losing!!! You've really gotten into the zone haven't you? Well done!!! I'm doing so-so. I want to lose this weight but I don't seem to have the drive. I don't even know what diet I want to do right...
  197. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Not too bad. A friend wants me to go to Pizza hut on Wed. I'm not even keen. I'll have to cancel it. TOTM due soon so I'm craving everything. Hope I'll be better soon. I'm scared to weigh myself too. Thinking of just going by how my clothes fit.
  198. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    If you've finally got a date, it will be quite a motivational boost for both of you right? I'm also chilling out where the diet is concerned, until Monday. I do feel ready, I'm just not sure which one to do. Maybe I'll stick to the weekends off and strict weekdays again like I did before. I'll...
  199. Cee

    It's now or never

    Ok Egbert! Monday is a new start and we have no more excuses after that! We need to have a good run now and get ourselves motivated again!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!! x
  200. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Good luck with that Egbert. I tried with my OH but he would eat a baguette sandwich at work and not tell me until I catch him eating something not CD friendly lol! Have you got a date in mind then?
  201. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Yes Katierose, it WILL be our mantra! I have been naughty today. Had chip shop chips and savaloy and cod. I'm not sure how much I had but I won't let this ruin it for me. I'll get on track tomorrow. OH took us 70 miles from home to test a car he wanted to buy only to change his mind after seeing...
  202. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    So today I'm 13st 6.5lbs. Put 1.5 on overnight. Not good. The box of Jaffa cakes and sweets and 4 slices of bread and nutella didn't help. I'm taking my starting weight as 13.5 so I need to be 13.3 by Friday. If I can stick to the diet I should be in the 11's by Christmas. We can DO THIS!!!!!!!!
  203. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    You're on. 2lbs sounds good to me. I'm going to try to get some exercise in this week too. Might try going swimming on Thursday while the kids are at school and playgroup. Wow! Can't believe I said that :-D
  204. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    So I had Chinese last night and I'm still 13.5 today. I've indulged a bit today. I am actually worried That I'll pile this 6 or so lbs back on now. I'm going to TRY to eat healthy little meals during the week and then have a treat at the weekend. I hope I can manage it again. I'm feeling...
  205. Cee

    It's now or never

    Love your attitude Egbert!!! Keep it up. I think I had an unfair advantage this week. I've lost weight but I haven't stuck to the diet. I've read it's something that can happen on the meds I'm on. Woohoo!! I think it will now level out and I'll have to actually make an effort to lose weight. Are...
  206. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Weighed today and 13.5!!!! OH had the cheek to suggest I might be pregnant! How long will it go on for? I've had a large Cornish pasty and a krispy Kreme donut today. I must be the only person who isn't crazy about KK donuts but I ate it all anyway. Didn't enjoy it much. Not sure what I'll have...

    Weekends off the diet!

    I don't know what's happening. I'm not watching what I'm eating and I'm losing weight. I guess I must have been retaining water or something but I was 13 11.5 on Monday and today Friday I'm 13 6!!! Almost 6 lbs and I've done nothing. I know my appetite has reduced and I've only binged once this...
  208. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Not great, I am now 13.7 but honestly don't know how cos I've been eating. I'm slowly getting to a place where I can really start the diet again properly. I'm hoping to drop another 3lbs next week. Have you recovered from the pizza episode?
  209. Cee

    It's now or never

    You're so right! I tried to be perfect too and when I realised I couldn't be, I just gave up doing anything. I'm an all or nothing person. If I can't be the best, I might as well not do it! Same with the dieting. If I wasn't 100% one day, I'd give up. Even if all I had was an apple whilst doing...

    Feeling yuck today. Haven't been particularly good with the eating either. Feeling miserable because I saw friends recently, that I haven't seen in ages and they were looking better than I've ever seen them. Slim and all, and I look like crap!! Hmph! Why can't I just do this and get my life...

    Weekends off the diet!

    Thanks Katierose, I'm trying to put it behind me. Egbert, I'm right there with you. I haven't exactly stuck to my diet today but I ate relatively healthily. I think I was very water retentive cos I wee'd so much today even before I'd eaten or drank anything. I weighed again this afternoon just...
  214. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Thanks Katierose. I weighed today at 13st 11 so I've gained all the weight back!! Oh well :-(
  215. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Egbert, I'm really hoping for a change and some resolution of issues in my head. Thank you!! And yes, it begins tomorrow. 3 lbs this week should be doable. Although it's my first week back after 2 weeks so I could do 5 lbs I'm hoping. I'll settle for 3 lbs as a target though :-)
  216. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Back from the party. Ate quite a bit but didn't have any dessert. Just didn't fancy it. Tomorrow a tea party and Monday back on track I hope! Side effects from meds not very nice but hopefully it'll die down soon. Off to bed.
  217. Cee

    It's now or never

    That's a result! STS after 3 weeks off!! Well done. Looks like you'll be able to maintain really well when you reach goal. Next week you should be well into the 11's! :-)
  218. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Thanks Katierose, I also hope it all helps. My medical friends have been telling me that I should do this for a while and I've resisted until now. I worry about becoming addicted. Have a good weekend x

    Weekends off the diet!

    Haha! Yes Monday the race begins!! So, I have some News! I called to book a GP appointment today and got one for this afternoon. How lucky eh? Told GP all the symptoms I've been experiencing for years. She then gave me a questionnaire, I answered some questions and have been prescribed...

    Enough about me though, I'll moan about myself in my diary. How's Egbert getting on? WI tomorrow! I'm hoping to have snapped out of my miserable phase and join you on Monday. I have a full weekend-dinner party and tea party. Hope you're being good today.
  221. Cee

    It's now or never

    I hate the way I look, I feel different inside to the person I look like on the outside. I hate being fat and not looking as good as I used to. I don't understand why I just can't eat normally either. I always binge. I'm always on a diet and it never lasts longer than 2 weeks max.
  222. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    You might have a point there but I struggle to stick to anything longer than a few days, that's the problem. I think I'll try to maintain until Monday and then start again. A fresh start.
  223. Cee

    It's now or never

    I think I'm a lost case, maybe I should do a sponsored weightloss challenge. Knowing me I'd give up and give everyone their money back lol! I'm sure you can do it Egbert! You've gotten this far, 10 stones, I can't remember what that looks like.
  224. Cee

    Weighed today I'm 13st 7. I'm ready for the ' weight off' :-D I hope I can get 7 lbs off by Saturday, what's your goal Egbert? Missfortissimo, I guess I'd be doing something similar when I'm maintaining. For weight loss anything other than low carb goes really slowly for me.
  226. Cee

    Weekends off the diet!

    Thanks Katierose. I'm going to try again tomorrow. I'll still have Saturday and Sunday off and hopefully get my head right. This is a cycle I need to break!

    Ooooh! I do have a competitive streak!! :-D maybe a race would help. Sigh! I just fancy eating and eating. I had a Chelsea bun too. The problem is I don't do too well if I'm not doing low carb even if it's low cal. I'll try to get my head in gear. I'm going out eating all weekend and I feel...

    You always manage to get right back on track! You're so darned focused. :-) Well done on not gaining much, you'll be back to where you left off in a week I'm sure. How was your holiday? How's the back, are the exercises helping now?
