I'm frustrated and annoyed. Down 0.6lb! This is BS as I know I lost more in the week. Nothing more to say really Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

SABOTAGE! My BF parents cane round! Did the best with what food they brought round (without getting the 'are you on a diet again?') This is what I ate today : All Bran and milk Lots of gammon 3 new potatoes Salad A quarter of cake (eek) Haribo sweets (double eek) Well, nothing I can do...

I totally agree. I haven't really told my boyfriend, though it's fairly obvious! :op When I have tried to lose weight in the past, I've always told everyone and made a big deal of it by having signs on my office door saying "Calorie Controlled Room" clearly everyone loved it when I kept...

I've noticed that I haven't told ANYONE about wanting to lose weight.......and it feels great (and I'm a poet and don't eve know it!) It's obvious that I'm eating different, but I don't get the "should you be eating that?" comments when I have something bad. I always 'treat' myself - every...

Was driving back home with a pounding headache again :( It might be all the driving I'm doing at the moment (163 miles every day!) but I can't take much more :( I would like to say how proud I am of me - got home and my boyfriend said if I wanted Chinese and I said no, even though I wanted to...

Yes, loads better thank you. Don't know what was up with me! I did just finish my lovely dinner. I would have taken a picture, but it went in my tummy too quickly! :p The best thing was, my boyfriend picked up some Nandos peri peri salt, so that was even better! :) Sent from my HTC Desire...

Yesterday I was driving home from work and came over really sick. Pounding headache, aching stomach and pain in my leg :( I got home at about 7pm, got changed and got into bed! I watched a bit of TV, my boyfriend made me some toast and I was asleep by 8:30! Hopefully I don't get that tonight...

Thanks hun :) Just need to think long term, rather than dwell on the negative short term actions. Got to stay focused Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Thanks hun. I was just a disappointment to myself last week. Going to do better this week. Hope you are OK xx Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Well, I think I'm very lucky - I stayed the same this week. I'm annoyed at myself, but what did I expect? The annoying thing is now, I'm working 83 miles away from home (possibly for two weeks, so leave at 7, get home at 7) so it's going to be really difficult to fit in exercise. I was going...

Well, I managed to get a Jillian ass kicking yesterday morning! Today I feel a bit more positive. I wanted to go for a bike ride but it's chucking it down with rain, so I did a fitness workout on Dance Central. I did it for 40 minutes and I was sweating buckets! It was super fun and...

Well today's already rubbish :( Yesterday I thought I did really well. Here's what I ate: B - All Bran and milk L - Subway tuna salad bowl (lettuce, cucumber, sweetcorn, peppers, onions, carrots. No extra sauce) D - mixed grill (gammon, fried egg, 3 sausages, piece of steak) S - apple...

Hi all, Just a quick message to say I'm still here! :p Finally got my lazy ass out of bed and did Level 1 on 30 Day Shred. Still eating my All Bran which I think is really helping with my snacking and digestion in general. I'm not too confident of the scales this week. I've been snacking...

Hi, and thanks for dropping by :) I can't believe you've escaped from Peterborough! :op It's very easy to lapse, so don't feel bad. I can't remember how many times this has been the last time! :op Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

I keep meaning to take pictures of my food, but I only remember once I've eaten it! :op Generally I'm OK. Still getting the odd headache, which is unusual and painful! I've made the decision NOT to tell anyone this time that I'm losing weight. I find that people try and sabotage it and then I...

Aww, thanks hun :) It's all your support that's keeping me going :) x Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Thank you very much for your kind words :D I just hope I can keep it up! Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Yep, 3.6lbs down this week :) I started at 168.6, now 165 Considering the week I've had, I'm very pleased. I've not denied myself anything (or really done much exercise!) but I've been making better decisions. I feel so much better and look forward to another week! Sent from my HTC Desire...

Well, I couldn't 'weight' (teehee) so I weighed myself at my mum's. Before I did, I checked to make sure they were accurate (some would say that's weird, but I say thorough!) and........ .... I'm down 3lbs! :D However, I will take whatever my scales say tomorrow as my 'actual' weight...

ARGH! Just realised that I can't weigh in tomorrow as I've stayed over at my mum's! :-( Will do it Monday instead and then carry on with Sunday weigh in after that Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Hi :) Sorry for my super late reply. I was really busy all day at my works do. Well, needless to say, I didn't eat particularly healthy yesterday, but that was mainly due to having nothing to eat apart from sweets! BUT, I'd like to point out the positives: 1. I resisted the chocolate...

Hi all, Sorry for my late post - been a busy bee today. Buzzzzzz! Didn't get a chance to do any exercise today (poor excuse I know) but I'm going to count this as a rest day :) Thanks for the advice on the headaches. I have been to a lot of different offices recently, so my giant glass...

Well, I couldn't find any safety pins, so had to use elastic bands instead! How embarrassing! Did quite a lot of exercise today - cycled 12 miles in total and walked a mile at lunch. The walk was in a dodgy part of town so I think I power walked! :p Chilli was nom :) As were the pancakes :) I...

Thank you for the reminder! I totally forgot. It did nearly get to the point of me cycling with no trousers on! I've also got the munchies today (but that's nothing unusual!) I'm looking forward to my mountain of chilli and a few pancakes :) I'm thinking what I could give up for Lent. I'm...

It is a lovely day here too. So nice in fact that I cycled to work :) I'm only at this office today, and it's 6 miles from my house so I thought why not. Major fail though as I left the key to my lock at home! Doh! Also, my stupid trousers kept getting caught on my drinks holder! Got to find...

Thanks everyone :) The omelette yesterday was a total success! It actually stayed in one piece which was a first! I think it's because we put less veg in it. But don't worry, that extra veg went on a huge salad instead :) I should have taken a photo, but I eat it too quickly! Sent from my...

Thank you. I hope to get back on track with a vengeance tomorrow! :D Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Hmmm, well I did fall off the wagon today. It's only day 2! :( I had an awful day at work and succumbed to a Sainsburys mini chocolate chip muffin (approx 170 calories) :( I wouldn't have had one, but in the meeting food was provided, so I did resist 2 packets of biscuits, 2 boxes of muffins...

Day Two Still feeling positive. Did Level 1 of 30 Day Shred. I was nearly on Level 3 a week ago, but I thought I wanted to start from the beginning to coincide with my new 'diet' Best go and make my lunch now. Chicken caeser salad. Nom nom nom :) Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Thank you hun :) I did get a bit peckish, so I've just made myself a pre-Top Gear snack of 100g natural yogurt, 100g mixed berries (originally frozen), 100g strawberries and 10g sugar (the berries are a bit sour!) It's quite nice, but I think I might have a flavoured yogurt next week as the...

Hi again :) Just to post that I had lunch/tea and it was delicious! We were going to have chicken, but I totally forgot we had some turkey steaks that needed eating, so we had: 2 x turkey steaks (fried) A mountain of cabbage, green beans, cauliflower and broccoli Roast chicken gravy (I...

Hi all, I just wanted to say, thank you SO much for making me feel welcome and giving me lots of motivation and I haven't really started yet! I'm very grateful :) So far, so good -had my first serving of All Bran (think I'll get used to the taste!) and me and my boyfriend are off for a bike...

Yes, I agree about the calories. Even in diets where you can eat 'unlimited' foods, it's always down to those pesky things! I've started a diary (as you suggested) as I'm hoping this will keep me focused and since I can easily write posts on my phone, I have no excuse! Sent from my HTC Desire...

Aww, thanks hun :) But I'm really not that organised! But I'm pleased it looks like that so I can feel smug :D Yes, my mum does force food on me, but I've categorical told her what I can eat and when I say no more, it means no more! The good thing is, she is a vegetarian who doesn't like...

Hi Thank you for replying :) You've done fantastically well. Congratulations! And with good old fashioned healthy eating and exercise :) So today is my last binge. Kinda of like my last supper! :p I'm off to Asda in a bit to get my food for the week. Luckily (depends how you look at it)...

There are also negative things about VLCD (very low calorie diets) I'm about to start a Low GL (glycemic load) 'diet' on Monday. It seems more sustainable and easy to follow. Less expensive then all the shakes too. I have the same amount of weight to lose as you, so we can do it together :)

Wow! Thank you for your reply :) So, should I look for low GI recipes as well as low GL? I know the two are different, but it seems that they are similar. Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

Hi Thank you for your reply :) Basically, breakfast, lunch and snacks during the day are fine. It'll be dinner and weekends where it all goes wrong! We have a strict budget, so our meal plan for the week is on a rota of meals. Some of them include: * Chilli and wedges * Spaghetti...

So, are there any staple prepared foods that you have on stand by? When you really can't be bothered to cook? Any low GL ready meals? My downfall will be at the weekends - it always is. The worst thing will be no gravy with the Sunday roast! Thanks again for your help. Sent from my HTC...

Hmmm, this is getting a lot harder. Do you have any recommendations to get me started? I've got the GL Bible on audiobook and I've just ordered GL for Dummies. Sent from my HTC Desire using MiniMins

I'll try porridge again, but I'll get some All Bran just in case! With other prepared stuff, do you find out the GI rating and work out the GL?

Hi, Thanks for your responses :) I'm starting next week. Trying to work out my shopping list and get rid of all the junk in my house! I would eat porridge/oats, but I don't like them! Plus, I can never eat a lot at breakfast. I really need to find out about sauces, otherwise my meals...

Hi all :) I'm fed up with my weight and I think the only eating plan I haven't tried is GL, so now seems to be the best time to try! I've got PH Bible on audiobook which I've listened to, been on his website and I think I've got the basics. Few questions though, which I hope you can help...
