Wow! Can't believe it's been so long since I last posted! Long story short - I lost weight with calorie counting and actually lost too much and had to put weight back on! My other half and I are thinking about baby-making in a couple of years so I'm currently learning to cook and I'm following...

Woohoo!!! That's amazing!! You go girl!!! Xxx

And I think the portion control aspect of ww really helps :) x

Good luck for tonight honey!

Honk! Day 9 :)

Thanks guys! I'm so motivated right now. Ww is brilliant! ?

You definitely will wild fruit :)

Have done 1 week on ww and have lost 4lbs! Woohoo! What an amazing plan! I ate all my weeklies and 3 activity points. Am very pleased :)

Am still counting cals on and off but not got back into gear properly! I'm now 10 stone so only have a stone to go :) I'm doing the moon walk tonight so excited about that :) Have got a body media fit armband and unbelievably I burn around 3000 cals on a day shift at work so no wonder I get the...

Hiya! I'm the same! Got down to 9st 4lb last year with calorie counting but it all went wrong this year. Am hoping ww is the way forward! Well done on 5lb down!

It was sooo fun! I love John cena lol!

Fruit salad. Mmm delish!

Am back to under 140lbs today. Whoop! Am going to have 1600 net cals and then add in exercise calories like I did before Christmas. Hopefully it shouldnt take long to get back to 130lbs. 40 mile bike ride today and then I am going to watch wrestling at the O2! Should be hilarious! Have a great...

Hope it goes okay honey! I only have day shifts now for a couple of weeks so I'm very pleased :) Today will be 2,000 cals and will do a bike ride but not sure how far I will go! Am shattered!

Hey bostik! How are you doing? Night shift didn't go very well. I ended up having cereal so probably had around 2,500 cals altogether! Burnt a ton of cals on my bike ride though so all should be okay. When I do a bike ride and then night shift I am gonna have 2,400 cals I think and then 2000 on...

Just off for a bike ride and it looks like its gonna rain! Eurgh! Am really pleased I have started my diary again though. I forgot how nice it is to write everything down and feel in control again :)

Argh! Just weighed in and I'm 143.5lb. Have put on 11lb since Christmas. I'm not surprised though. I have been eating way too much bad food. Ah well. Am back on the wagon now so hopefully I can get it off by August. food today will be: B beans on toast and porridge 400 snack marmite sandwiches...

Oooops! Got out of the routine of calorie counting and have eaten tons of rubbish! Very bad I know but I have stepped up my training big time so was getting mega hungry. But it's time to get back on the calorie wagon as I want to be 9stone again for the summer and bikini weather :) Have eaten my...

Slowly getting there thanks. Had a horrid chest infection :(

Hi guys! Sorry I went AWOL! I got sick so haven't been counting my cals. Haven't wanted to weigh myself as I don't want to feel rubbish lol! Back on my usual 1600 cals now though :) hope everyone has been good! Xxx

The chocolate workshop was awesome! So funny! As we were doing lots of tasting am not really sure of the cals but I don't care as it was mega fun :) Back to normal tomorrow - getting up at 5:15am for a 12.5 hr shift at work (oh joy!). Will get back to 1600 cals daily. Night night! X

Will let you know how it goes! I am actually really excited about it. :)

Hiya! Have had a great day out today. It was my father in laws 60th so we went to a lovely menu and had a great meal and I had 2 glasses of wine and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I tried to estimate my cals today and I think they were around 1900 so not too bad! Tomorrow I am doing a chocolate...

Hiya! Had a huge snooze today. Catching up after my night shift :) Food today is: B beans on toast and porridge 416 L fruit and yogurt 323 D beans, veg, burgers 520 Total 1259

I promise to write down my food from now on too! I have been dreadful lately so putting it all down each day again will keep me accountable :)

Okay, mad shifts have finally stopped and I have 3 days off now, yay! Have booked a pt workshop for 17th march which I'm really excited about! That gives me just over 8 weeks to get into really good shape so I look fab with the other personal training students. I am going to stick to 1600 cals...

Thanks bostik! It was a fun run but I'm not sure if I should have done it before I start my night shift soon lol! Let's hope I am not too tired working tonight!

You are going to be a marathon runner soon! :)

Awesome exercising Hun!!

Good luck honey! You can do it :)

Hiya!! I have been rubbish with keeping to plan (as in waaaay too many cals) mainly due to doing mental shifts and seem to be comfort eating again when I finish a long shift. Have weighed in today and am 132.7lbs so I'm drawing a line under my rubbish few weeks and getting back on it! Today I'm...

Sorry about not updating much at the moment! Am doing loads of extra shifts at work but will be posting properly soon!!

I cannot cook to save my life so I have 'veg pasta' all the time! 50g wholewheat pasta, 250g frozen mixed veg, 1/2 tin basic baked beans. Cook it up and add curry powder to taste. Delish!! 381 cals :)

Hiya! Have been a bit lax about writing my food down on here so from tomorrow I will start writing it all down again :).

Go girl! Amazing chip shop restraint :) good luck!

Hi honey, I also have messed up sleeping patterns due to my job and it didn't affect my weight loss but they do make me feel horrible (I hate night shifts with a passion ;) ). I feel too hungry on 1200 cals and actually lost better when I was on 1500/1600 cals a day. I don't think it will harm...

Hope you feel a bit better soon honey and well done for rocking the heavier weights!

Happy Saturday! Have just weighed myself and I'm 132lbs so just 2 lbs off my goal which is cool. Am out to nandos today and then have a big night on the town with the girls so I anticipate a million cocktails. Will not really be able to count cals so am having today as a big day off and will be...

Whoop whoop!!!! Xxx

Good luck! :)

Hi guys! I ran 8miles today and it felt awesome! Am very happy :). Still sticking to 1850 cals each day. All is good. Have two long shifts tomorrow and Friday at work so am ready for a 5am start tomorrow! Lucky me??!!! X

Thanks Catherine! Sometimes I really have to drag myself out for a run but I always feelbetter after one! Happy new year! Xxx

Hi guys and gals! :) So am starting my new year maintenance plan by upping my daily cals to 1850. Will stick to this for this month and weigh myself in feb to see what happens :) Today I have felt knackered so I only did a 4mile run. Will do a six miler tomorrow to make up for it :)

Love it!! Happy new year!

Happy new year everyone! Did my last 6mile run of 2011 today :) food will be under 1600 net cals :) am on a long shift at 5am tomorrow so no new year celebrations for me :( have a great 2012 peeps!

Have finally finished eating lol! Cals today are 1742 and exercise cals burnt were 666 :)

Sorry! My iPhone is making me post random stuff everywhere!

Blooming iPhone! Meant mfp calories! X

Hiya! I agree, mfp overestimates exercise calories.cheart rate monitors are definitely the way to go! Xxx

Happy Friday! Am almost back to normal now :). Just ran 6.4miles (to be exact) and didn't feel great but I do feel a lot better. Today I will stay under 1600 net cals as I burnt a whopping 666cals in my run so will be doing a lot of refuelling :) I want to do another 6mile run tomorrow and then...

Just to update- food today was 1410 and I stupidly set my heart rate monitor to running instead of cycling on my bike ride so have estimated exercise cals as 244 :)

Good evening :) Today I am feeling a lot better. Last night I had a really good sleep and didn't wake up too many times with my throat hurting. I def feel on the mend :) I did a really slow bike ride today. Did about 10 miles I think. Food is good today too. I won't go over 1600 cals. Have a...

Delish! :)

A few days isn't going to be a problem. Enjoy yourself my lovely and get back to it when you can :) x

Loving your diary so far honey :) are you on mfp? If so I will add you :)

So today's food comes to 1352 cals and I did 30 mins low impact aerobics. All in all a good day :) If I feel okay tomorrow I am going to go on a bike ride :)

That's the only bonus of being ill lol!

Ooo good question! I love nandos and pizza express! Oh and zizzis and prezzo lol!

They are rubbish!

Boys eh??!!

I weighed myself today too and am 9st8lbs so only put on 4lbs over Christmas which I am fine with :)

I hope so bostik! I did a rosemary Conley DVD today and after it felt so rough I had to go back to bed! Eurgh! I will def stay under 1600 cals today though so I'm back on the healthy train :)

Great new years resolutions honey! Mine is to somehow get a ring on my finger lol! It's been 4 yrs and still no proposal lol!

Get well soon honey. If its any consolation I am sick too and I feel awful not being able to go into work :(

Oh noo! That sounds horrid! It's the first time I have had it so fingers crossed the penicillin works! Xxx

You are doing so well honey. You must be feeling mega proud :)

I feel okay at the moment apart from my neck being on fire. Don't think I'm gonna get much sleep tonight! X

Oh I keep forgetting to tell you. I have used that hypnosis app lots lately. It makes me so sleepy! I love it! :)

Mmm your food looks lush! Xxx

I have been so bad lately I refuse to weigh in til 1st feb lol! Xxx

Hello lovely people! I had a great Christmas and ate tons of naughty food but am soooo ready to start eating healthily again. Went to the docs today in the end and have tonsillitis which is a bit rubbish. Am not going to use it as an excuse to eat anymore bad food though! Back on the wagon...

It's horrid isn't it? I think I am going to the doctors tomorrow because it doesn't feel like a normal cold. Sooo painful! :(

Have got the lurgy! Argh! My throat feels like its on fire. Soooo annoying! Hopefully drinking endless cups of tea will help...

I am not going to weigh in til feb lol! Xxx

Bet you will have a great run tomorrow :)

Happy Christmas eve my lovely! :)

Happy Christmas honey! Have a great one :) xxx

Merry Christmas everyone! Am gonna have a few days eating lovely naughty foods and not logging :) hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas xxxxxx

You are well on your way honey! :)

My pre Christmas weigh in is 130.9lbs so we will see what the damage is after Christmas lol! Last run today and then I am having a week off ( mainly due to working nights next week) but I think it's good to have a complete rest for a week. It will mean I am raring to go in the new year :) Have a...

Hey guys! Shift has ended finally! Phew! It was hard work. Had 1708 cals today so not too shabby. Ready for a long snooze now x

Am on my break in the midst of a mad shift! Have had 1 celebrations chocolate so far! My restraint is almost saintly lol!

Yay! You are doing so well!!! :)

Thanks guys :) Tried on all my going out clothes today and I feel great so instead of worrying about a specific goal weight I am going to go to my maintenance cals and see what happens. Am really happy at the moment and don't think I need to be super slim! :) so ladies my maintenance is going to...

Oh noo! Sorry you are feeling rubbish! Everyone is I'll around me at the moment I am just waiting to get something. Great news about the job though :)

Hi all! Another 6 mile run today. It was mild weather for once so no frozen fingers lol! Food has been fine as I have had a day off today. Think I will be 1600cals again. 12.5 hr shift tomorrow. I hope it's a nice one!!

Ha! It's so good I had to compliment a million times lol! Sorry! My iPhone is rubbish! X

Wowzas! Awesome calorie burn!!

Wowzas! Awesome calorie burn!!

Wowzas! Awesome calorie burn!!! X

You will be fine honey. I bet you will surprise yourself with how much you can do x

Yay! That's awesome! Well done!

Woohoo! Go for it!!

Hey guys! Just had the busiest shift at work! Phew! Cals today come to 1614 so back on the straight and narrow :) am sooooo ready for a snooze though! Night!

Aww cute. Hope you have fun :) I am off to work! Eurgh!

Sounds like a fab morning!

Sorry lol! :)

That sundae is called a chocolate glory. Sooo nice! It wasn't on our Christmas menu :(

Woohoooo! Well done! That was quick! :)

You will have abs of steel!!!!

Tonight Matthew I will be eating: Dough balls Fungi de bosco classic pizza Choc fudge cake and ice cream All washed down with a couple of pints of cider. Classy!

Haha! Hi!!! I am rubbish at updating my actual food on here so if anyone wants to see the food diary it's on mfp!

This kettlebell thing sounds torturous!

Enjoy the pain lol!

You will get there honey, no problem :) is that a kettle bell workout? Sounds tough!! I'm 130.9lbs to be exact! That will be higher by the end of the year though lol!

Yep it is at pizza express! My absolute favourite place :)

Whoop!! Brilliant work! X

Lol! I feel good and would not want to go below 9st 2 as I would feel too slim. It's funny though, calorie counting and mfp has made me realise that we can eat really well and be slim. I used to think you had to starve to be where I am now but it's quite the opposite! (check my diary lol)...

Morning all! Have another big night out tonight and my dinner alone is going to be 2000cals!!! Gotta love Christmas lol!! Am going to lessen the damage with another run today and will only stick to 2 pints of cider as I have work tomorrow so can't be hungover! Have a great Monday people!! X

5'7" I haven't really done amazing but thanks! :)

Am quite happy where I am but I was 9st 2lbs in my early 20s so would like to be 128lbs to 130lbs I think. My maintenance is 1690 cals now so am mega close to my maintenance cals anyway :)

Welcome back and nice to meet you :)

Mmm sounds delish! :) With my job I can only exercise 3 x a week. Think I would be shattered if I did anymore lol! Good luck this week Hun. You can so do it! X

Had a lovely six mile run today. I feel really Christmasy!! Woohoo!

Mmmmm which flavour Ice cream? I am jealous ;) it was sleeting down as I ran and my fingers went numb under my winter fleece gloves lol! Just warming up with a hot choc now :) enjoy dinner!

Well done on the run! Will be heading out for mine soon :)

Amazing loss! Well done honey! X

Went for veggie burger at nandos. Was gorgeous!

Go for it Hun :)

Whoop! Went on the scales just now and am 131lbs! Another pound off! Yay!

Mmmmm delish! I think I might do the veggie burger or the couscous salad today :)

Oooooo what did you have at nandos Hun? I am going tomorrow :)

Yay! Well done! We are the same weight :)

What are you guys doing on Xmas day and boxing day? I am just going to have whatever I want and get back to counting on 27th. Mother in law will be feeding me up this year so definitely won't be counting cals!!

Sts for me which is totally cool as am pretty much at my maintenance cals nowadays :) can't wait for Christmas!!! Sooooo excited now :) whoop!!!!

Forgot to say - did another 6 mile run today and it felt awesome :). Food wise my calories have been all over the place with my weird working hours but I think I will be able to stick at 1600 net cals each day for this week. it should average out okay as long as I don't go too mad! Am going to...

Will do! Cannot sleep right now. Eurgh! Night shifts really muck up my body clock!

Whoop! Well done! Xxx

Hey guys! Nights are over and am away with the boyfriend but will be good as am on another big Christmas night out on Monday.:)

Let us know how it goes :)

Well done! Boxing training is hard!

Have a great time tonight! X

Hiya! Just woken up :) gotta love night shifts :) Only ended up having 1800 cals yesterday so will have 1800 today too. Nights really muck up my eating but it always tends to average out okay by the end of the week so that's cool. Hope everyone has a great evening! X

Add me on mfp if you fancy :) I am lp80 xxx

Hey Hun, I like eating so I eat my exercise calories but I make sure they are accurate with a hrm. You can get a polar one for about £50 on amazon :)

Totally agree! Heart rate monitor and mfp are all you need (and a sports bra!!)

Just start really slowly. I felt awful when I started (also I was a bit heavier at 11 1/2 stone) but you slowly get better and as long as I have my iPod on I can run for ages now :) I would never run without music though. Boring!!!

Aw I love maltesers! You can do it honey. Even with slip ups along the way we can all do this :) xxx

I started with the c25k and then got addicted :)

Thanks Hun. I love running (I am a geek!). I am hopefully going to run a half marathon in feb so I have to run 3 times a week. No excuses lol! Work is hell at the moment as I work in a really busy unit at a hospital but being busy makes it go quick! :)

Hi! Love your diary :) I won't go below 1600 cals either. If I do I am starving! I don't know how people cope on 1200. Good luck with it. You are doing great :)

Welcome honey and good luck! :)

Hiya! I had a huge sleep in til half 11 today :) am on nights tonight so I need the extra sleep! Am going to have around 2000 cals to get through the night shift but will go for a six mile run soon to offset the damage :) Have a great day people! X

Wowzas! That hypnosis thing really works lol! X

I just listened to it! I feel really relaxed. Will let you know if it stops my cravings to eat rubbish lol! My other half did stumble into my room drunk whilst I was listening so think I will prob need to do it again. That ladies voice is really relaxing though! Night night x

Cool! Thanks! Will try it out :)

Oh wow! What is it called? Would love to download it. Doing night shifts muck up my body clock so could do with some relaxation stuff. X

Looks brilliant!! :)

If its any help I lost my weight on a 0.5 lb loss :)

Can I join in? I am fairly happy at 9st 6 but I used to be 9st 2 so I just have that as my goal. I wouldnt want to go any lower though. Think I would look scrawny!

Good luck with mfp. You will love it :) I have 1600cals a day but when I was trying to lose weight I stuck to 1450cals and I always ate my exercise calories :) x

You will definitely keep it up hun. Mfp is awesome and as long as you log everything You will be fine :)

Ooo cool! Yep, sw could be dangerous for me. Unlimited food encourages me to eat too much!

Oooo I would love some scales that did body fat as well. Are they really expensive? X

I love McDonald's mcflurrys and their milkshakes! Mmmmmm.... :)

Hiya! I was actually just reading your diary and was just going to post on it lol! Yeah I think sw is great but I just can't get the hang of portion sizes. On sw I find myself overdoing the portions as I know it's free food. It just freaks me out. It clearly works though as I lost 1 lb when...

Aw thanks! Hope you are doing well! X

Okay! Thought I would check in! I have lost a lb and down to 9st 6 which is awesome :) however, sw just freaks me out. I dont know if I am eating enough or too much! Argh! I guess calorie counting is so ingrained in me I feel rubbish without it! Am going back to calories! My mate is fine about...

This is a honk for yesterday! 6 syns! :)

Thanks! I am pretty happy with my weight now so if I can maintain it will be cool :) I will be back if it doesn't work lol! Xxx

Hey Guys!!! I hate to tell you this but I am going to defect to slimming world! I tried earlier in the year but didn't really do it properly. My best friend is starting her first class so wants me to go for moral support. If I put on tons of weight I will come back but I am actually quite...

Well done!

Hiya! London was fab yesterday. Had frozen yogurt at mooyoo in Harrods. It was lush! Today I am back on nights so will have 2000 cals to get me though :) Just off for a 4 mile run. Have a great day :)

Oh that is nasty. Hope they are okay xxx

Good evening! Have finished nights and don't have them again til Monday! Yay! Today I slept most of the day since I finished work at 07:30 am :) I went for a 6 mile run tonight though so hopefully that will make me tired enough to sleep tonight. I have stuck to 1500 cals today. Tomorrow I am...

Hope you are having a good Sunday hun!

Happy Sunday people! It is a very happy Sunday for me as I weigh 9st 7lbs! Unbelievable as I have had 3 course dinners lately. Must be water retention or something! Am not complaining though! Back on 1600 calls now :) Breakfast (that is basically lunch!) : Eggs and beans on toast 400 Lunch will...

Weighed in today to see the damage and I am 9st 10. Not too awful but would have been soooo much better if I hadn't have over eaten yesterday. Ah well, never mind :) am off for a major weekend of gourmet meals so cannot wait until I am back to normal on Sunday :) see you guys soon! X

Hi guys!!! Having been feeling really healthy from my health spa I was good all day and then went mad at 5pm!! It was definitely boredom eating! Finished off the jar of nutella (well at least it's gone now!!) and a big bar of fruit and nut choc! Binged for absolutely no reason! Sooooo...

Ooo have a lovely weekend honey! It is definitely the time of year that makes it hard to lose the weight eurgh!

Still not sure of my calorie count but I'm doing lots of fitness classes and eating healthily :) will hopefully sts on Sunday! Fingers crossed! Have a very heavy 2 course lunch and 3 course dinner on fri. Argh!

Loving the hair do! I confess I have also eaten half a thorntons shop in the past! X

Well done honey! The spa is amazing! No idea of calories but I feel healthy :) am going to do loads of fitness classes tomorrow so wish me luck :) x

Oooo I love new hair dos! Let us know how it goes!

Aw rats! Stop the guilty feeling and start back on track now Hun. You can do this :)

Just off to the health spa. In the spirit of all things healthy I have had porridge for breakfast (200cals) :)

Am off to a health spa for a few days tomorrow so won't really know my calories. I will be good though and do lots of fitness classes ( and massages) am really excited about all the pampering actually. Will let you know how it all goes :)

Me too! Christmas is mad! I have dinners and nights out every weekend but will try to keep to my plan the rest of the time :) x

Hiya hun! I love mfp but 1200 net cals was just too low for me. I lost weight over the summer on 1450 net cals but I find it such an annoyance to have my heart rate monitor on and logging all my exercise cals so I now just try to stick to 1600 cals daily and not worry about logging everything on...

Yay!

That's exactly what I had. It was delish! X

Hi there! I agree with keeping your cals to 1500/1600. I have found you can lose weight, not feel starving and still have treats on this amount so you don't actually feel like you are dieting.

Had a lovely bike ride :) its getting wintry out there now though brrrrrrrrrr.......

Oh and will have a 200 cal snack too but not sure what yet...

Morning all! Woke up at 11, felt lovely :) Food today will hopefully be: B. beans on toast 200 L. Omelette and veg 400 D. Pizza express leggera pizza and chocolate ice cream :) 800 Total. 1600 Exercise - a 1 hr bike ride

Last reply for tonight I promise! Am going to up my running and see if I can do a half marathon next year!!! X

Oh and am at pizza express for dinner tomorrow with the girls so wish me luck! :)

Oh and weight at the mo is 9st9.5lb !

Ooo and exercise was a 4 mile run!!! Night night!
