Amberstone, you are doing so well! Congrats on the loss! I'm trying to decide whether I should go with my Fri WI weight of 11.8, or my post-binge WI on the official WI day of Sun which was 11.10. I think I might just go with the Friday one and start weighing in on a friday from now on! Well...

Today's calories: Milk for tea & coffee (100) B: M&S Instant Porridge pot (230) L: Baked potato & beans (400) S: 2 biscuits (170), cherry tomatoes (15) T: Stir fry veg (80), chicken breast (150), broad beans (85), wagamama's stir fry sauce (70), glass of red wine (100) Natural yoghurt & honey...

Oooh, it was a bad weekend. I overindulged majorly on Friday evening (2 bottles beer, half a bottle wine, steak and chips followed by a large cheese platter....oh dear....) but could have got away with it because I went for a mammoth 9 mile run on Saturday morning (which took over an hour and a...

Well done for your 13 mins. I run about 20 miles a week and love it. I've got a treadmill as I'm a single mum so can't always get out, but much prefer to run outside :) My advice...hmm, difficult. I definitely agree with the eat after run advice, I get stitches if I eat before. Sometimes I...

well done, fab weight loss and great cake! Wishing you every success with maintenance x

Just popping by to say hi amberstone! Enjoy the concert tonight and keep up the good work. I've been thinking about a kettlebell too, but it'd probably just sit there and gather dust...

Maybe they misprinted...133 instead of 33 for 80? Are they just plain whole raw onions?

Our goal weights are v. similar too...we're going to have to keep an eye on each others progress now :) Do you have a diary on here?

Hello everyrose, mind if I ask a question or two? How are you logging your calories - is that list taken off an internet site? Which one are you using? Also, why don't you drink coffee when you're dieting? I'm just curious, I live off the stuff but know it's probably not the best thing to have...

Amberstone, so easy to fall of the wagon (sadly...). Am just popping along to have a look at your diary now, will say hello there!

Oooh ooh how exciting, people visiting my diary!!! Minimimi, I totally agree that it helps to have "guidelines" - I try not to eat carbs with my evening meal (didn't work last night with pizza tho!). I'm going out tonight, and i know it'll help me stay on track if I skip the carbs. Good luck...

This is what I ate today...bit of a detour via Pizza Express tonight... Thurs 4th Feb B: M&S Instant Porridge Pot (250) S: 30g reduced fat cheddar, apple (130) L: 1 carrot, 1 stick celery, 4 ryvitas, mini pot low fat hummus (35, 15, 112, 121 = 283) S: Lunchies bar – choc, banana & apricot...

What a fab post! Minimimi - I'm closest to you I think... I'm 35, current weight 11.8, height 5'4''.

Thank you LisaMac, hope your day went well today. Mine wasn't too bad. Ate well during the day but had dinner in Pizza Express. V. yummy and I behaved myself to an extent (pizza, 2 scoops of icecream, glass of red wine, but only one glass and I did 3 miles on the treadmill when I got home, when...

So I've been on track a few days now (3, I think), and I have been calorie counting, even though I said I wouldn't. I just like the reassurance that I haven't gone completely over, because lets face it, weight loss boils down to calories in v. calories out. Yesterday I worked out at about 1300...

Ahh, thank you amberstone. Such support, and I'm delighted that someone's bothered to read what I've written. I hope Cambridge is going well for you - I did lighter life once (v. similar to cambridge) and it worked very well, but I didn't stick to it for long :( I will say though, that...

Hello! I don’t usually work out the calories in what I eat (because I start getting really obsessed), but I thought I’d have a go today. I have to say, I am shocked by the calories in cashew nuts – I only had about 15 but they’re 9 calories each! Am pleased though, it looks okay – better than I...

hi Mommy B Just wanted to say I have read your diary and well done for starting again! I've spent the whole of Jan mucking about but have been back on track for 2 days (not really calorie counting, although I keep a bit of an eye out, more healthy eating because I get a bit obsessed if I calorie...

Ahh, if only we all had the magic secret to motivation! I'm not sure what to advise you, but wanted to wish you good luck on your journey, and say well done for weighing in anyway, even though you knew you might have gained. I hope to read about your successes soon!

You poor thing. I'm the same, if I miss scheduled exercise for any reason, I tend to eat junk ("oh, well, I've blown it now..."). Best advice someone gave me is, if you were talking to a friend instead of yourself, what would you advise them? You know yourself better than anyone - write down...

A good day today. I ate: B: Soya latte from Costa, Quaker oat bar L: Innocent Sweet potato chilli veg pot S: Munchie banana, apricot and choc bar (my new discovery, they're child size versions of the eat natural bars, only 109 kcal and very sweet so really sort out a sweet craving...) T: Baked...

Oh forgot to say, I'm healthy eating - not counting anything (because I'm a bit obsessive when I do!). Am trying to stick to 3 meals and optional 2 snacks a day, plus 30 mins exercise, with no foods banned.

Hello! Can I join this thread? I'm healthy eating too. Every time I try and diet, I end up in a binge diet cycle - sometimes I lose some weight, but I always end up regaining more than I lost. Anyway, last October I decided enough was enough and I should stop looking for the quick fix. And it...

I can never stick to a plan! But it still really helped to have one. And I’ve bought a little notepad to write my plans v. actual in (I don’t want to repeat myself too much here, that’d make for very boring reading. So today I had: B: Oat Bar & banana L: Small portion sag aloo, small portion...

Plan for Day One (2/2/10) Exercise: Run 40 mins with dog before going to Uni (Optional extra: 30 mins video in afternoon) Food B: Yoghurt & oat bar L: Salmon, brown rice & veg S: Crudites with hummus T: Chicken soup S: Glass of red wine & apple & small piece cheese

Hello! I'm posting on here to kick myself into action... I managed to lose 2 stone in 2 and a half months at the end of last year, but in January have managed to put half a stone of that back on. The great thing about the way I lost the weight was that I wasn't following a diet, I wasn't...
