    How do you pick yourself up after falling?

    I've just started again today after almost a full week off plan in what can best be described as a full on wine and food binge. Have been suffering from work related stress and my marriage is under immense strain so I went off the deep end. At my last weigh in I'd only lost 3lbs and I was...

    First week - of the journey to a slimbo chrimbo

    I have fallen off the wagon spectacularly. Going through a tough time personally and yesterday I went nuts and stuffed my face. And drank wine. Didn't feel much better today and skipped breakfast - I was going to start afresh this morning, then ate at lunchtime. I've had a good cry about the...

    First week - of the journey to a slimbo chrimbo

    After weigh in yesterday and the confusion between what I think I've lost and what the demon scales say I'd lost I got a bit disheartened and caved in, had 2 slices of toast with real butter and a gravy chip from the Chinese. And boy did I pay for it, haven't been off the loo :cry:so I've...

    I had my 2nd weigh in this morning and I am v confused. I had a great week with no wobbles and by my WW approved digital scales this morning weighed in with a 6lb loss.

    Better late then never, am writing this at the end of Day 4. Wobbled a bit on day 2 and had some food but v v low carb what I ate,so don't think it kicked me out of ketosis, which, judging by the feel in my mouth I am well and truly in! Haven't had a real problem with hunger yet, nor missing...

    5 stone down, less than 1 to go

    You look wonderful - I have six stone to lose, knowing that you've lost 5 in the amount of time you did is really encouraging as my dream goal date is start of December when I head to NYC. Can I ask if you exercised at all? X

    I'm planning on ditching all the bigger sizes as I lose weight, more incentive to stay a healthy size. I have a gorgeous black woollen roll neck sweater dress (think the Kate Middleton Ralph Lauren number) which will look fab with knee boots. I have a gorgeous pair in the attic, brand new from...

    I'm actually shocked at the range of sizes in my wardrobe, everything from a 10 to a 20. I'm an 18 now, would really love to be a 10 by Christmas as I have the most divine leather skirt. Hence the need to lose the tree trunks!! They're partially genetic tho from mums side. Could we have got...

    Thanks A million :) being in the right frame of mind works wonders. Have also brought some motivational items to the front of the wardrobe, things I love that no longer fit! One in each size as I intend to get down the sizes and numbers on the scales :)
