Wow just watching a re-run of the horizon show about what diet is right for you. Someone held up a visual of a pound of fat and honestly it looks so much. If you are 'only' losing that a week trust me you are doing good. It is revolting! Def worth keeping in mind. Sent from my GT-N7000 using...

Day 6 Tues 10th Feb Well yesterday was a bit of a write off diet wise! Didnt eat as much as the other days but it was all the wrong things. I reckon calorie wise it would come in around the same. We were out and about at appointments for the wee man and we treated ourselves to coffee and...

I'm back! With a bump on board! :) Very excited to say that I am expecting my 3rd LO around Christmas! That is why things have been so quiet around here... I couldn't even face the kitchen for a couple of months, even opening the fridge made me heave. I am 13 weeks now and approaching the end...

I can sympathise, it is so hard with all that temptation around and especially when everything is a bit out of routine with the kids. I have been off choc for lent and I know on Sunday (which will be off plan big style lol) that I will end up looking a bit like Sister Assumpta in that episode...

Friday 19th Good Friday So today is the first day of the holidays. I am knackered to be quite honest and could do with not moving from the couch... but try telling my 2 year old that! DS1 would be happy enough I think, he takes after his mum! So a bit of tidying done but it was too nice out...

It was really good, the creamy sauce just took any of that bitterness you can get with cabbage. Yummy!

Thursday 18th Last day of work before the holidays! Tried to have a low syn day and claw back a bit of the excess of the day before! I didn't get round to any exercise, I have been so tired this week but plenty of steps. At least if I stick to it over the weekend I'll hit my aim of 4/7 days...

Well done on going back to group! Great idea, a total mindset change is a good approach. I think you have a tendency to think it's all old hat after doing it a while and get into bad habits without realising. I am rather shakily on plan, i.e I was 100% yesterday but felt like I could be out of...

Hey missus it's not bad, and it is impressive that you are at least counting the syns. When I tend to go off plan (I did too yesterday lol) I go into denial and stop counting so you are maintaining some control even though it mightn't feel that way. And the way I look at it a few bad days is...

Nutella bread and butter pudding sounds really good! Have you got a recipe for it? Would like to give it a go when Lent is over, I am really feeling the choc withdrawal tonight!

I'm the same, come the evening all I want to do is stuff my face. I try and leave a hex or 2 for then with a cuppa but it doesn't always do the job the same way a glass of wine and a choc bar... I'm counting steps too, downloaded an app to my phone last week. I was actually surprised by how...

Thanks, although I need to update them, I'm afraid I've put about half a stone on since Christmas, I just keep finding excuses :o. Yes, I have a diary I think there I a link under my sig? It is not that inspirational at the moment though! I do find it keeps me on track more if I do post...

I think I struggle for a similar reason. The idea of a positive mini goal is great, I might have to try it too!

Hey babybuffy I wouldn't let the little gain get you down, you seem to be right on track so I am sure it will show next week. I find for two weeks of the month I either gain or have a small loss because of fluid retention etc. so it could be something like that. Drinking more water might help?

So glad to get a day at 100% yesterday. Hoping for more of the same today. Plan for today: B- sw rice pudding and frozen berries L- leftover bubble and squeak with baked beans, couple of oranges (free) D- I'm thinking of maybe a burger and actifry chips (heb and hea for cheese) with a bit of...

Well it has been an off and on week all round but scales showed 132.8 this morning which is 4lb loss!!? :eek::D I suspect alot of that was fluid rentention bit still i am pleased with that and it means the situation isnt just as bad as i thought lol. I am hoping to be as close to 100% as i can...

Well I stepped on the scales earlier and I have to say I wish I hadn't! I am seeing figures I haven't seen since shortly after DS2 was born. And it seems to fluctuate madly during the day so I will have to stick to one time of the day and limit the constant weighing! Thursday was showing at...

Saturday Lateish breakfast as i had some work to do at home and wanted to get most of it out of the way. Still more to do but at least dh will take the kids out for an hour later and let me get on with it. Then just the usual housework etc to get on with! As its such a nice day we took the...

Hi All, back again with tail between the legs... :p So I haven't been on track for a while and it is starting to show. No one to blame but me, I have zero willpower and have a butt groove on the couch. So I need to eat less and move more! Anyway, I hope I will be a bit better at updating and...

Well i weighed in last night and had put on around 2lb so not too awful, easier to gain than lose though! Had the actifry potatoes for tea and they were quite tasty. Could have done with another 10mins to make them nice and crispy but veg would not have been as nice then. 3 syns for the lot...

Hey just wanted to say you have done great so far! I think when you get so close to taregt it seems nearly harder as the losses are smaller sometimes and it is hard to stay motivated. It is good to get a diary up though as it helps to see what you've eaten. Love drayton manor, we took out boys...

I made it to weigh in last night and lost half a pound! Pretty pleased with that, it is bringing me tantalisingly close to the 8s now. Haven't seen that on a scale for about 15 years. So the plan for this week is to keep on it and maybe be a bit stricter with my syn limits and avoid a blow out...

So i am not sure how weigh in will go today. I got a nice suprise last week but am under no illusions this week, eap after my blip on sunday nigjt. Other than that i dont think i have been too bad but sunday really is the wrong day to have a blow out when you weigh in tuesday! A sts or 0.5lb...

Hey missus sorry you'rw not happy about the sts but at least it is better than a gain. You will prob be needing all the reserves you can get though as wee sam might be due a growth spurt, maybe bodies way of stocking up? Why dont you try a red or green day to mix it up. You could have the extra...

Just curious about anyones experience of this? Googled it last night (very scientific!) And there seems to be some ancedotal evidence this does occur. I had a small unexpected gain last night and i wonder if this maybe was an influence? I know gains at totm are common too. So it seems half...

Hey no you are welcome to pop by! It is a good point about the scan bran i always drink plenty of tea and coffee but i have to make a real effort to remember to drink water esp in work. I will maybe try a glass of water per cup of tea and see if that helps? Thanks x

Hey missus, haven't heard much from you lately; hope all is well with you x

Disappointed to report a 1/2lb gain tonight. Pretty disheartening although not unexpected as I didn't feel like I would have a loss. Still, I cannot understand where I went wrong this week- I have been pretty much 100%; weighed my hex, stayed within syns (88 for the week).... Anyway, I have a...
