mum2one i know exactly what you mean about sitting round the table eating as a family....i love to do that with my kids and OH more so over the weekends as the OH often doesn't get home in time for the childrens tea time so usually just the three of us eat together. it's something i've always...

Hello all, hope it is ok for me to join in...i am starting Cambridge tomorrow and have set myself the target of losing 50lbs before Christmas... unless i get to the stage where i feel i have lost enough IYKWIM. 50lbs just seemed a nice round number and works out at just under 4lbs a week so...

Well as it's my birthday today have been doing a bit of soul searching and decided i really need to shift the pounds once and for all...another year another stone:sigh: i promised myself it wouldn't be like this...have been saying this every year for as long as i can remember! however this is...

well done Karma on the 3lb:D good luck for tonight Ali!:)

well done Lula for getting yourself back on track, it is one thing to slip up, but as Kat said for this diet to work properly you have to stick to it, and analyse the thoughts that were going through your head when you ate or wanted to eat... learn from it...then find a way of coping with...

oooh the warm peanut bar sounds interesting, will have to try doing that Kat! can't wait to try out the chilli, and a new bar will be a bonus too:) hope i'm not disappointed by them lol

oh that's such a pain Aimee, :hug99: hope she gets it sorted quickly for you!:)

oooh a valentines challenge eh? i'm up for any challenge...mind you i'm still working on the christmas one:D i can't believe it! this morning i managed to comfortably get in to a pair of trousers that have just been a bit too small around the waist, tummy and thighs:D wooohooooo, mind you...

oooh yes Ali good point!!!:D thanks!

oh and even more exciting news...my LLC said that they are bringing out a new flavour...chilli con carne...apparently it's going to be available either next week or the week after and is to be (in her words) a more substantial food thing;) so glad it's not a soup flavour lol...didn't fancy that...

thanks Kat! have been reading about your RTM experience...you make it sound so exciting that i literally can't wait :) although i know i've got a journey here to complete first;)

hi all....hope everyone is having a good day, not much to say here really except we had a bit of a wakeful night as my little one has a cold:( so feeling a bit knackered today. had been fine, but was just getting a snack for my daughter and had a moment of "one for her...oh so what about one for...

well done Lula on getting through your first day...not sure i could've done it whilst on a 14 hour shift though, so respect to you for that;) keep at it these few days of discomfort should soon be a thing of the past! look forward to hearing how you get on with the miidweek weigh in tomorrow:)

i'm glad you brought this up Kat, i had seen a few posts about it but wasn't sure...great if i can have it on abstinence, saves me forking out for savoury drink as i've already got some in the cupboard:D

thanks all...it's really spurred me on to stick to it....am just taking it a week at a time, trying hard not to think too far in to the future....hope seeing my loss helps everyone else too :) If I can do it you can do it!!

well done KW keep on going!!! you're right about christmas of course lthough my rebellious child is still thinking a bit differently....think he'll need to be talked around ;)

hi all it's just me again, just popping in to tell you about my meeting tonight, it's the first time i've met my group, there were four of us. they seem like nice ladies:) anyway at my first weigh in and over the course of 6 days i lost 10 and three quarter pounds :woohoo: :D roll on the...

Terminator:D

hi Amarazeta and welcome...good luck for the week ahead! i just really wanted to echo what Kat said, it really is an individual thing, personally i find the soups overpowering, so i tend to split them in half and mix each half in a decent sized mug of about £300mls that way i can also spread...

oooooh just over 6 hours to go :D...not that i'm excited or owt :ashamed0005::giggle::bliss:

so glad to hear you had a positive meeting Ali! and a friendly face too. good luck with the week ahead....stick at it you'll soon be in ketosis!:) the porridge is a lovely addition isn't it, i thought the veg soup is nicer this time round too. i did the first 3 days without bars, apparently...

my LLC said to drink to thirst aiming for 2 litres...i remember back in the olden days it was rigidly 4L plus any tea and coffee and plus your packs...i felt like a fish to start with mind you did soon get used to it but am relieved it's more of a moderate amount now :)

hey good luck for tomorrow Aimee:) look forward to hearing how you get on...less than 24 hours til mine...can't wait :D :D :D

christmas tree is up in Tesco :D and fingers crossed i'm at least not working christmas eve or Christmas day!:D :woohoo:

i have been sooooo tempted today, the kids have been supremely whingey and i seem to have less patience on an empty stomach...am prob just noticing it more i guess. actually i was ok until the menu of a fast food place serving a well beloved food of mine popped through the door :rolleyes...

well done KarmaWitch! here's to a fabulous week ahead remember we can do it!!!!! good luck to anyone else weighing in tonight too:)

good luck Ali...i'll bet you're there now:) looking forward to hearing how you get on:)

Have been having a think about what goals to realistically set myself and how i should reward myself for achieving them, my usual reward system would be a food treat of some description!!! My first goal is to last the week out and i was actually thinking to myself oh goody if i can do that i...

oh Lula meant to say about the weight loss tickers if you look here Tutorials - MiniMins.com - Weight Loss Support Forum there is advice on all the techy things you might need to do including setting up the tickers;) i would happily talk you through it if i could reliably remember how i...

just popping in to wish you well in the next stage of your journey, i look forward to hearing how you get on:)

loving the Christmas thread...i sooo love it too, although can be a bit of a dampener if i end up having to work it. My daughter and I have started singing christmas songs in the car on the journey to and from nursery :D

thanks Mel, coincidence...my eldest is coming up 4 soon;) it's a very weak moment for me preparing their food, serving it and then feeding it...hopefully now i've identified it i can fess up to it...this time around i think i need to be brutally honest with myself:)

thanks Blonde Logic and Ali...i guess i need to be a bit kinder to myself...can't help but beat myself up though...the only person judging me is prob not so little old me :doh:

:Dwow well done Kat you have done so incredibly well simply fantastic!!! as someone on day three it is truly an inspiration to hear your story! Iam finding this forum is full of awe inspiring ladies and hope my journey is as successful as yours!:)

me too...i'm a returner as well, this will be my third try in fact...i did LL very successfully ooooh must be over 5 years ago now...lost over 3 stone, maintained it for quite a long while...then i got pregnant (happily so) and the pregnancy wasn't so bad for weight gain, but afterwards my...
