This will be a long one, so you don't have to stick around. If you choose to, thank you. This is something that I’ve wanted to write for a while now, mostly for myself, but to be able to admit it to people, I feel, could be very cathartic. I’m hoping in doing this, I can start to break old...

Hi there, I was writing a new post and my laptop went crazy and ended up going back a page. I lost everything I'd written. I noticed it was saving the draft but I don't know where I can access this to recover it. Please help.

Honk for today. Back on track. Though went 7 and half hours between products due to being busy at work and forgetting so had my 3rd 3 hours later. Back home now but not drank enough today. Day off tomorrow so will drink lots. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Well today wasn't so great. Had to drive an hour to get to work so by the time I got there I was knackered and felt sick. Didn't think I'd get through the shift so had a diet red bull. Had half a bar on my lunch break cause I really couldn't stomach anything. Made it to the end of my shift...

Well. I've been awake all night. My alarm is going of at 5 for an early shift. Today is going to be interesting. Just need to control myself if cravings strike as it's so easy to cave when exhausted. I accept the fact that I may have to have a sugar free red bull at some point today. Life...

Confession time Went to revolution yesterday and I had prawn and salad flatbread and sweet potato wedges. Not had carbs in 3 weeks and I caved. Though when I was looking at the menu I could have been a lot naughtier. So I am pleased I made a sensible choice. However, impulse got the better of...

Hi ladies. Late check in for me as I went to see the lion king last night. So was a late one. Had tea out with my friend and had a chicken salad. Was really strange cause there was so much anticipation and I really wasn't that bothered by the food. The tomatoes tasted great though. Other than...

Thanks jo. Very true. Wanting to eat the contents of the kitchen has now passed. I have a planned meal tomorrow night so looking forward to that. But going to be sensible and have a chicken salad. 16 days down. 18 to go. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Honk for today. But only just. Been wanting to eat all day. But my options are to either lose more weight or put some on. I can't stay the same because I tried some jeans on today and I'm in between sizes. Bigger size are massive on the waist but fit the butt and hips. The smaller ones fit the...

Hi Sophie. Read through your diary. I think moving up a step would be good. Will def help with exhaustion but as you know you'll still lose weight. Rather than tgi Fridays where none of the food is very 'friendly' why not go to wetherspoons or something as your date night? I've just finished...

Well done jo. I hear you. I've had epic binges like that, but while on slimming world. Because I could. Currently sat in a pub waiting for my friend. The smells are torture today and if I had longer before the wedding I may be tempted to have a chicken salad or something but I already have 2...

Been to a kids party with all of the lovely food. Absolutely fine. Didn't bother me too much. Got home where the was no food around and had to battle with my head so much. Wasn't hungry. Just couldn't stop thinking about food. Even though I knew it wasn't worth it. But thankfully it passed...

You have plenty of time to get to your goal and maintenance fraufrau. You'll look great I'm sure. I was 14.7 when I started slimming world in 2012. Lost a stone. Maintained that for 10 months while I was abroad and then tried to lose the rest. Didn't quite work out. So decided I had to take...

I met a friend in a cafe for a drink today. Stuck to green tea but they do lovely food and the guy next to me had a chicken salad that looked great. Then the smell from the takeaways was amazing. Funny though cause I've never set foot in them in the 4 years I've been at uni there. Oh well. I'm...

Honk for today I no longer like the veg soup. Made it. Smelt it and it made me heave. Tried a mouthful and binned it. Having a shake instead. Been obsessing about food today :( even the healthy stuff like salad.

Had a bar for lunch and I ate it over half an hour. Never done that before. I usually try to make them last as long as possible, but they are gone within 5 to 10 minutes. Think it was because I am sat in uni library writing an essay, on facebook and here. Distracted much. One of my problems is...

Is there something you're looking forward to whilst losing weight, or have already achieved it, that is...well...a little strange? For me it's my collar bone being more defined and not surrounded by fat anymore. I find it little strange, but it's something I look at. Not sure whether it's cause...

One day at a time. Im wearing some jeans I bought in November last year that are a 16. They fit me but were a bit snug so I didn't wear them. I have them on today :D I also tried moat of my wardrobe on the other night and it was great to see the difference with some of the clothes I have avoided...

It may be hard going through this which you havr no control over. But maybe once it's all sorted something will click into place that things out of your control aren't something to fear and the need to control the food in your life is pointless. We think about these things rationally but that...

You have a lot going on in a short space of time. Try and treat yourself. If you can shut yourself off and read a book for a few hours. Or have a relaxing bath. Or whatever you do to chill I'm finishing uni while organising the wedding. Luckily I'm really organised with it and in a few weeks no...

Hi ladies. I'm Hayley from Blackpool. I haven't started CD yet as have mine and other halfs birthdays soon so going to start after that on CD. I have just ordered celebrity slim in the mean time so I can get started on the weight loss. I'm getting married on 29th June so only 10 weeks to go...

I had a steak stir fry, udon noodles and oriental vegetables coated in soy sauce, a little mirin and a touch of splenda. I know it sounds bizzare but I like sweet food. It was lovely.

You can have 20 of the Twirl bites for all of your 15 daily syn allowence. I figured that out today after a major choc craving. You can do it though. I was eating choclate and cakes all the time but I've had chocolate twice since last weds and no cakes. I'm doing ok. I just have other things to...

Well my first WI was last night. Though my loss is not accurate. Apparently the scales weren't working properly last week and were giving great losses. Last night most put on, needless to say there was a dark cloud over us. According to their scales I only lost 1.5lbs. Though I have weighed at...

Hi all. I'm Hayley and started SW last thurs for the 3rd time in the last 6 years. Every time I say this is the time. But this time I feel it is. I have lots of motivation this time and incentives to lose. Don't worry about having a little treat here and there. I had a triangle of a big bar of...

I tried hypnoband last July/August. For me it didn't work. The fort session when really well and I lost weight in the first week. I ate smaller portions and didn't pick as much. However, I did find that my therapist talked about herself a lot. Her own battle with her weight, etc and her...

Thanks for the past Yesterday and well done on the cutting down. I can have up to 4 in a day sometimes, but not everyday. I want to stop eating it everyday and be a bit more creative with food rather than take the easy option and have a sandwich.

Well. Hello there. I'm Hayley. And yet again I am attempting to diet/eat healthily. Over the years I have tried Weight Watchers, Slimming World and Lighter Life, and I just have no staying power. It's Australia's fault. I had lost 2 stone on WW and had another 2 to go when I moved to Oz in...

The best thing to do is go through the hypno band website. That's what I did and found one of the reputable practitioners. Mine cost £300 for the 4 sessions and the 2 cd's. That seems about the norm. The people who are charging £1500 are overcharging and I certainly wouldn't go near them with a...

Been away I haven't been on for a while due to broken laptop. But all fixed now. Wow. You've had a busy week. Unfortunately for us women, our weight fluctuates A LOT. But remember you have been doing a lot of exercise as well, so you have to account for any muscle gain. But any muscle gain...

Didn't realise I'd written so much. Opps Week 2 Day 1 2nd session. Spoke about the week. Ups and downs. Then the hypnosis was about the 'pre-op' meeting the surgeon and discussing the surgery. Found it hard to picture this. Tried to focus and it worked a little. we shall see. Rest of today -...

Hi peps. I'm Hayley. I know it's hard to ignore people's comments (especially when it's a friend!!!!). But let it make us stronger. Well done on what you have achieved so far.

Hi all. I am Hayley and I am 26. I started Hypno Band last week, so I thought I would start a diary. Bit about me:- I have been dieting for 4 years with ww, sw and lighter life. Originally lost 2 stone with ww back in 07/08. Moved to Oz, put a stone back on. Came home 09, put another half...

Well. As the title implies I am saying goodbye. I came to a decision last night that I am no longer happy being on the plan. I had a really bad week food wise and have not been able to come out the other side. After much trepidation and feelings of failure, I decided it was the best thing to do...

i went along to local meeting, had a chat, took my forms away. had to leave my forms at surgery for dr to sign and cost me £20. everywhere is different

It's great that you have the discipline to make an adult choice to come off LL and then go back on it. As long as it's an adult decision its fine. :D

I like your optimisim TSBX Thanks :D

HAHA well spotted Gingette. I didn't see it.

Oh Japanese is amazing. I love it. I hate sushi though. They do 'normal' food. Everyone always thinks sushi. You should treat yourself when you are eating again. It's quite healthy as well.

Don't be disheartened. Who cares what people think. you are doing this for yourself. I know we do care really, but try not to. You've just had a hard day and needed the confidence boost, so you are a beautiful person and you look amazing, you've lost how much?????:kissass:HAHAHAHAHA You need to...

Wow. In 4 weeks. I have my 4th WI tonight but don't think I'll manage 10lbs to catch up with that.

I'm keeping mine as I intend to have a clothes swap night. Get a load of friends round with their unwanted clothes and we bid on things like an auction, 20p, 50p etc. Great way to get some things someone doesn't want and get rid of stuff you don't. Anything taht is left goes to charity shop.

They say it's 10lbs. But I think that is crap. I've put on 4 stone over past few years, I was a 12-14, got to 16 on top and 18 on bottom. Lost a stone now and back in 16's on bottom and 14/16 on top. Good luck for tonight. x

HAHA. Yeah. I was gonna do that. But today it left. You have a ticker now. Yay. Looks impressive, over half way there.

That's exactly why we like reading yours. It's good to read about each other's experiences. :D Oh's exercise bike was from internet and cost £170 i think. I try to use it when I find the time. Just go shopping more often. walking round shops counts, especially if you have your pedometer on as...

Day 27. Bored, bored, bored of this diet today. What I'd give for some variety. Made cupcakes today for my oh's mum's birthday. Didn't lick the spoon, though licked my fingers a few times if they got messy, and also had to taste the frosting as it had bailey's in to make sure it tasted ok...

well done for getting to where you are. Good luck for rtm.

Yep I am. Stopped drinking at 9pm and was still back and forward to the loo for another few hours. It's easier when I'm at work to drink that much. Just have to keep at it today.

Wow. Roller disco. That sounds fab.

I try and do a bit of exercise a few times a week. My oh has an exercise bike so I go on that sometimes or just for a walk. My job means me rushing around a lot so I think that helps. I like the sound of zumba but just don't have time to fit it in. I think you should take you and your size 14's...

Good luck for later pinkie

Well not written for a little while so just a quick catch up. Been going quite well recently. Which is a little un-nerving, as it seems too easy. Still getting cravings triggered by smells but not acted on them, thank god. Today was working in Warrington, felt so dizzy and ill today. Had a...

Yay new jeans. Well done

Yours sounds so much more appetising. Come cook for me. LOL :D

Well for breakfast I had a sumptiously delicious thick chocolate shake. For lunch a luxury bar of creamy toffee covered in silky smooth milk chocolate. For tea I am having the award winning 'homemade' chilli con carne. Followed by a delectibly devilish creamy hot chocolate. Oh i'm so spoilt...

Oh Tilley. It's been a tough few weeks for you. just take thingsa day at a time adn it will pick up in the end. If your sick of people chewing your ear off, then chew ours off in return. That's what we're all here for. Each other. Big hugs and happy thoughts sent your way:grouphugg::talk017:

Have a great day shopping for those sexy jeans. I think it's great when ex's can have a good relationship. My mate and her oh split up a few years ago and they get on better now than they ever did, she stays over at the weekends (her teenage daughters still live with their dad) and they go...

LOL. Sorry, couldn't help that. Poor you, least you got a good wrok out. I did have food dreams where i'd cheated and would be really worried and angry at myself for a split second when I woke up, then remember it was a dream.

Love it

If you could give me her details that would be great. thanks

me too

LL can trigger periods. Don't usually have them as have the implant. Hope it's not here for the duration

I'm honest with everyone. If they don't like what I'm doing then that's their prolem. I'm doing this for myself no one else, so deal with it. But I ahve to say that most people I've told seem intrigued, and people at work don't really comment that much. I find that it's the people close to me...

Hey fudgie. Love reading your diary. You've so well. Nearly there.

Have put off reading your diary as it is 11 pages long, so did it in 2 sittings. Lol. Have to say it made me laugh so much, especially the poo saga :D I used dulcolax, 2 at a time but made me go too much. I bought the fibre powder form class last thurs and I've used it a few times and I've went...

I like the toffee bars. Which ones do you have? I started my period in my 2nd week and only lost 2lb due to being bloated, but I caught up the week after and was still on. 2 weeks later and I'm still on :(

Oh I hear you there, Diz. Same here. :D

Haha. Great. I'm going away on 30th May. Fingers crossed. LOL

Yeah go on do. Treat yourself. :D

Yay go TSBX

My face is covered in spots. And patches of red and dry skin. I'e got eerything and trying everything to get rid. Not going well so far

Was thinking about this yesterday and it occured to me I'e always been jealous of people who can do this, and it's one aspiration I have. To be able to cross my legs and my thighs not be in the way so that the leg over the top actually hangs down rather than off at weird angles. And people who...

Well done you for resisting the pizza. If that had been me, i'd hae thrown it in the bin. Ha that would teach him for leaving food lying around. Lol. Good idea about the ex. Get whatever you can out of him. LOL Seems like things are going great at the moment. I'm glad. I'm on day 24. I think you...

I've had a few dreams in week 2 and 3 where i had dreams I was eating. Didn't like it.

I will, thanks. I'm quite focused at the mo, so if I can have the discipline to have just that, I usually have a set menu with lots of nice food, then I'm hoping I can come out the other side and go straight back on them on sat. In theory anyway. But we'll see.

Thanks for info. I know its a pain that everything revolves around food. Not too bothered by the drink tho. Only tend to drink if I'm going out, not with meals.

LOL Pinkie.

Got some size 16 jeans from New Look. And i've got them on now. :D. Bought another pair but they're a little bit snug so will be in them in a few weeks. :D I use retar dex oral spray. Got it from boots. Seems ok. No one had ever mentioned my breath, not even the OH, and he would tell me if it...

Hey TSBX. Just read through your diary. Great read. Where can I get a £100 a month allowence from work?? Lol. I have the same problem with my mouth in the morning. it's horrible. Not sure what the explanation is tho. I'm going to do a bit of retail therapy today, tho scared that I will try on a...

I have come to an adult decision and decided that I am going to eat something on fri when I go to a Japanese place for my oh mum's 60th. But I want to be sensible and try to limit the damage on my body and my weight loss. nit sure if I read correctly, but LLL is based on protein for the meal...

I plan my packs the night before depending on what I have going on the next day. Usually do it as I'm going to bed. There is a girl who goes to my group and riding her horse was one of her goals. Not sure how much she has lost, but she went out for the first time the other week, and she said...

Ours is weekly or more if you want to

I've bought the fibre stuff from class to try as a regular thing, not that keen on dulco personally. But when you wanna go you wanna go

Hi Rachel. I am really interested in this. Where abouts in north west are you. Can i be a guinea pig for your friend? I'll pay. I'm in blackpool.

It's where ever you feel comfortable gingette. I just picked a number out of the air from when I was younger, but i feel it is a realistic one. Looking back at pics I was about 10 stone and looked pretty slinky. So will see when i get there.

Yeah we will. :D

Thanks for your kind words. It is good looking back at the hard times and seeing that I'm out the other side.

Have fun. Sounds fab. The main thing is your prepared and planned. That's the best way to be. :D

Very true, if I actually did any. LOL Well done. How do you feel now your so close to your goal?

Well done. It's a great feeling isn't it. Just keep hold of that feeling and call on it any time your struggling, cause it's time to look forward to WI's not dread them :D

It does. Need to try my next size down jeans, as the ones I've got on now are hipsters and I don't need to bother unzipping them, they just pull straight down :D

Well. WI done and I've lost 4lb this week so the little slip earlier on in the week has been redeemed. I've lost a stone now. All my motivation is back and I feel pretty good. Can't believe I'm on week 4 2moro. Where has the time gone??? In a good routine now and although I still miss food and...

Lol. I don't add anything. 2nd week I added a bit of salt, to soups and chili, but don't have the soups anymore and don't add anything to the chilli now. I quite like it, seems a bit more food like and less like your drinking all the time.

4lb gone tonight. Carolinep- 14lb... DOVES- 14lb...4.5...9.5 to go FYM- 18lb...-10...8 to go Halebob - 14lb....-4....10lb to go Last Chance- 14lb... Littlesquidger- 16lb... Magiclove- 14lb... TBSX- 14lb...-3....11lb Welshkaz39- 16.5lb..

You look lovely. What week are you on now, pinkie?

What is 'the shred'??

WI tonight. Fingers crossed for 4lb then I've lost a stone. But not vey hopeful as the dreaded TOTM went away and has now come back with avengence again. GRRRRR

For me the bars don't taste that much like real one's so I have one everyday and it's nice to actually chew something. Though I don't like the fudge one. I have a choc shake for brek, bar for lunch, chilli for tea and choc shake for supper. The length of my days vary during the week, depending...

Hey Pearl. I have to constantly fight my demons. I alwasy think about food, but it's what you do about those thoughts that's determine what happens. i just try and focus pack to pack, and think about how i'll feel after I eat something. I would be so disappointed in myself if i did give in. i...

They've got worse since I started. i'm not outside that much at the mo so not the weather

Lips of the face kind, you dirty minded people. :D Sorry is it just me???? I'm drinking on average 4ltrs water every day but why do my lips still feel really dry??????? So annoying.:mad:

Hey guys. Well. Decided to do some exercise today on the exercise bike and cycles bout 6 miles over 30 mins. Didn't go too fast, just a nice comfortable pace. Prob is think i've over done it. Had a bar straight after and had a ltr of water during. Had 2 packs and a bar and 3 ltrs of water so far...

10 TIMES!!!!!! WOW talk about a sore bum........ To pee or not to pee, that is the question!!!!!! Err yeah, better go I don't wanna pee meself. (sorry bout the humour, I'm a nurse, I can't help it)

That's awful to hear tilley. I can only imagine what your feeling. That is no age at all. It does make you think about life. Just remember that she will be so proud of you for doing this and keep that attitude you've got. Your so focused it's brilliant. I wish I had that much. Big hugs from us...

Well done, that's a great loss. :D

Hi and welcome. you've found the right place. You haven't had the best time with your LLC's but these guys are just as good. We're all on here at least once a day so post till your hearts content and we'll answer. I'm on week 3 and luckily found this site in my 1st week. and I can't tell you how...

If your feeling well in yourself then there should be no reason why it would affect it. If like Mags, you feel like crap, then like she said, good idea to come off plan for a few days till you feel better then start again.

HAHA Pinkie. love your sense of humour. I remember the good old days too. :D

Well done doves. Hope I can do as well on thurs

Lol. Yeah. Good idea Joy.

They prob have personal trainers when they go home knowing the Americans

I asked in both places behind the counter. Will have to try blackpool.

:fyi: Just thought I'd let you know I've been to the loo 10 times so far, just about to go for number 11. :sign0131: (HAHA sorry guys I'm bored and sick of peeing. LOL):D

Well tried Superdrug and boots today and they don't have any. Does anyone know who does have them?

Well exercise today, I decided to walk into Preston to go and hunt down some ketostix. So walked there, around and back, out for about an hour. And powerwalked on the way back. Tomorrow. Work. Gonna be doing plenty of walking then.

So far lost the amount of chemical additives an American consumes each year or 10 guinea pigs. And I want to loose a small bale of hay and an ostrich egg. HEHE this is fun. :D

Aw carrie, really happy for you after the week you've had. Your so close now after coming so far. Well done. Hope I can do as well as you. :D

HAHA Pinkie. Love your sense of humour. :D

Thanks. I have been a nurse for 4 years, but only do agency now I'm back at uni, 1 or 2 days a week. TBH it's double what the NHS pays me so it helps while I'm at uni. Gonna bugger off to Japan and teach English eventually tho.

Yeah I will too with RTM. I m a nurse so I'm usually rushing around all over place, but i've had a lot of uni work to do so not worked for 2 weeks and cause I've been at ui and doing uni work, I've been sat on my arse for 2 weeks. LOL.

You need to try and have all of your packs. They are nutritionaly balanced with enough calories to sustain ourselves and loose weight. If your not having them all the body can go into starvation mode and hold onto all that fat. I found that even though started TOTM on the sat,it still affected...

I like the sound of zumba as well. Just havn't got time to fit that in at the mo. Back to work this week, so on my feet and walking around for 7 and a half hours should be enough for now.

Hey TBSX. I asked my LLC about exrcise when I started. She said light to moderate, don't go crazy. I did do quite a bit of weights to build muscle, but she said being on LLT it's hard build muscle because your not taking in any carbs to do that. Not sure how true that is tho, but that's what she...

Count me in too. Need a bit more motivation. Find that I'm still obsessing about food. Carolinep- 14lb... DOVES- 14lb... Last Chance- 14lb... Halebob - 14lb.... Littlesquidger- 16lb... Magiclove- 14lb... TBSX- 14lb... Welshkaz39- 16.5lb...

TBSX I chose the same as you, 7 and cabbage. LOL

Hey welcome to the fold. It is great motivation to hear about everyones losses. I'm only on my 3rd week so still quite new. Good luck

Managed 4ltrs yesterday and today. I'm on a roll

Today- exercise bike 15 mins - check depending on how much work I get done may go for a 30 min walk to get my lottery ticket (will go the long way round) Update- did walk to the shop but didn't have time to go long way round. But that's still another 15mins on top of my 15 min cycle.

Well, it's just typical. A rare, glorious day in Blackpool and I'm stuck inside doing uni work all day. After my little hiccup last night, I decided to go on the exercise bike for 15 mins before I start. Been thinking about exercise this morning and I really haven't done much this week due to...

Glad to hear your feeling better now and ready to get back to it. Sounds like combination of abx and a bit of sustinance are doing the trick. :D :flowers:

The doctor does sound a bit biased. But when your body is fighting infection it needs all the help it can get. If your body isn't adequetley nourished it can take longer to repair itself, but unfortunetly with tonsilitis, you don't want to or can't eat, so catch 22 really. I think you should do...

Well. Disappointed in myself. :booboo: I had a slice of bread. Was feeling peckish. My oh was in the shower and there was nothing on the tv. I started rooting to see what there was. Tbh, it tasted nice, but wasn't amazing considering it was the 1st bit of food I've had in 2 weeks. Just hope i...

Well only lost 2lbs tonight. Down to TOTM sp hopefully catch up next week. But I have had 4 and half litres of water today. Woohoo. Just need to be able to keep it up rest of week.

Well only 2 off this week. Stupid TOTM. Hopefully will catch up next week. Blonde Logic: 2 stone - 5.5 gone - 22.5 to go bluesunflower: 25lbs Carly79: 20lbs carrie: 17lbs... 5.6lbs gone... 11.4lb to go Charltonjules: 21lbs ....3.5 gone...4lb gone...13.5 to go dale: 20lbs-2... 18lb (by 7th...

Humm, only had 2 packs today and I've been up since 7am. Not good, but all I have are 2 soups left and I really can't face them. Gone right off them. Gonna exchange them for a bar and have that after I've been weighed. Then I think Chilli Con Carne for supper.:D No more soups. Will stick to choc...

Lots of luck sent your way. You'll do fine. You've done it before. Just remember to concentrate on the cbt as well. You'll do it. :D

Thanks guys. I've come to a stalemate at the mo. Ran out of water and I'm doing some work at uni. Will be leaving shortly tho, so will nip to shop and get some before heading to WI

Had a lemon bar but not as a biscuit. May have to try that this week. I had the fudge nut one and hated it. Chocolate, good. Nuts, good. The Fudge! What is that all about?? Tasted so artifical and plastic-y (only way I can describe it) will be sticking to toffee anf peanut.

I also have the implant. Never have periods, but started on sat and I'm still going. Don't think I've lost much this week as I feel all bloated. Hoping it will end soona s the oh is starting to complain. HAHAHA

HAHA like that Twinny. I love this thread. Keep adding. We're a bit of a mixed bunch. I don't have any pets. Had a Westie called Mac, he was 12 years old but died last Sept. Miss him loads. But he was a little sod. :) Live with my parents and they won't get another dog :( I'm 25, been with...

Erm, not including my packs, I've drank 2 litres so far. And the day is still young. I aim for another 2. Will report back. Got WI tonight as well.

Wow, great to hear about you all. And Caroline, mucho respect for what your family are doing, takes a strong person to be able to do that.

Well done. That's what I got for my 1st WI. Here's to week 2 for you.

Thought I would start this thread to find out a bit more about each other. I know some of us are at uni, so what are we doing there and what jobs do we all have. Well, I've been a nurse for 4 years amd specialise in A&E, but decided last year to go back to uni and study TESOL (teaching...

Watched tv to distract myself. Which worked. I think it's because it's my totm. I never usually suffer at all with this sort of stuff due to not having proper periods and they only last a couple of days. This is day 5 and still going. Feel really bloated adn that's bugging me cause I know it...

I think the smell is more of a trigger than actually seeing the food, but remember aswell, if you do have a little lapse, it's too easy to think, oh stuff it i may as well go all out. I do that. But you are undoing more the more you eat. Small lapses are easy to come back from and won't make you...

Don't dwell on it Carrie. :flowers: You need to think about what triggered this, what were you doing, or how were you feeling before you did it. Then you can learn from it and move on, and if it happens again where your in that situation or feeling that way you will be aware of it and take steps...

Felt a bit crappy again today. Feel so tired and lack of energy. Sticking to my packs and (try) to drink enough water, but I just feel so drained. Even going up the stairs knackers me. Did take my phone in to get repaired, no retail therapy as I was just too tired. Just had my 3 pack of the...

Struggling to drink water yesterday and today. I usually drink quite well, but finding it really hard. Just not thirsty or hungry. MUST DRINK MORE WATER :sigh::sigh::sigh: Also my phone stopped working last night. Can't make calls cause can't hear a bloddy thing. Grrr. Had to resort to an old...

Oooooo, that's pretty. It'll be fab. I wanna get married. :(

There's nothing in particualr that I can think of. Would take me forever to go through all of my clothes that don't fit me :p lol But i do have a lot of things I bought in Japan that don't fit me and things I've bought cause I really liked when I was losing weight previously and said to myself...

Well done you. Sounds fab. Keep it up :)

Be good if we had a bath. Lol Just weighed myself on bathroom scales and god its depressing. Stupid totm. Was weighing myself last week and they are close to LLC scales, but tonight I don't like what they say. GRRRR
