This is precisely why I 'm back!!! I hit 40 in September. I want to be able to go on a girls night out and not be wearing something I picture my nan in

Joanne, going to be a decision you won't regret. I'll be in and out of here so if you need a support buddy let me know. or if you write your own diary drop me the link Zxx

Excuse the unnecessary bump but just posting here in case any old friends still have this thread subscribed they'll know I"m starting afresh with a new diary over here http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/332654-another-weigh-life.html Hello ladies:)

If it's still okay to join in I need to kick off back at SW with a challenge. I have 4 weigh ins so 4lb for me please :)

Hi everyone. i restarted SW a couple of weeks back and I'm currently working my way down to 15. I have a couple of lb to go but I"m a slow loser (1lb a week) so I'll be here at least a couple of weeks :)

Hey Ladies (and men), Been a while. A very long while indeed. And I'd love to be coming back in telling you all how in the two years since I've been gone I managed to maintain my weight loss and living life as less of me (in size) was going great. But that would be a fib. So let's not go...

So. Erm, hello. I've not been here for a bit. I'm back. And better fatter than ever before. Shall I start up a new blog or just add onto this old one where I can gradually explain why I was away so long and my tale of going up is attached to my tale of going down for anyone wandering by...

FIFTEEN YEARS!!! And my mum thinks I'm bad buying slim in to clothes. Well done you. Great feeling when it fits.

Another half on for me :( Off work sick with stress and fatigue. Nowhere near having my head in the right place for a diet right now. I can't stop thinking that if I'd been a Victorian instead of signing me off after having a complete breakdown at work they'd have put me in an institution...

1/2 on for me. Truly deserved. No whinging here. Need to focus on my grapefruits and hot lemon every morning. This weeks superspeed soup is working though. I have *the* most incredible wind. I have also discovered a cupboard in the kitchen that smells of Frazzles so I've taken to going to...

Tonight I have eaten 3 mince pies. Absolutely no excuses. I knew I shouldn't be doing it but i carried on regardless. Really bad place to be in. We wanted to do something to celebrate the end of the Michael Jackson trial which we have had to watch every night at work since it started. Mince...

Is there video of this, please? I think it will be inspirational for all of us to see

Thank you chica. I've been a bit neglectful of it lately. But I shall try and make more effort. I definitely owe it an update or two.

Awww, hunny. I'm down with the night shift thing too. At my place it gets so quiet pretty much the only thing to do to pass the time is eat. I've had about 3 months where mt motivation has been completely shot. Not sure why I couldn't get my head right back into it again. I've only lost 5lbs...

1lb off on your birthday week is amazeballs. Well done you. Perhaps you should have a birthday every week?

And what do I know about anything? Despite feeling fat since Sunday (as in - my belly is back and I'm walking like a hippo), eating like an absolute machine for all of Sunday, and also pigging a whole barrel of cheesy footballs when I discovered them in the Christmas display at Tesco. Yes...

I don't weigh in until tomorrow but I feel huge this week so expecting a gain. Think I may join the grapefruit ladies. Also hunting for a superspeed soup recipe that has no onions (I'm allergic). Do you all just buy a load of superspeed stuff and bung it in the pot? I really should brush up...

I have some writing work to do - which means sitting in and flicking the tv on in the background. Actually, I should have done it by now but I keep putting it off by finding far more important things to do in teh fridge

Help!!! I'm having one of those days when I can't stop eating. And none of it is goodstuff

If you ladies want a hand doing stats I'm here..... I could take on just doing the newcomers. Or I could take a split of what you already have. I do love a spreadsheet!!! :)

Now the supermarkets a firing up for Christmas I love it. Not the sweeties and nibbles but the cheap satsumas and clementines are back. Yaaaaaaay.

I lost 1lb. Finally. Whoop whoop. I've only had 3 hours sleep so I'll pop back later. Zzzzzzz

Ooooh. And I've just spotted in my sig that I'm now only 2lb away from being "overweight" instead of "obese". I might go for it majorly and see if I can celebrate being overweight next week.

1lb off for me :) :) :) That's my first loss in 4 weeks. So relieved it's working again. I did have chips last night from a chippy when I was at football. Doesn't appear that they've hit my expandable bum yet so I now have a week to work them off. So happy. I know it's only a little loss...

Aaaaah. Losing 5lbs over 3 weeks is good. You have no reason not to be proud if how brilliantly you're doing just because of one little gain. Never forget you're amazeballs!!!

Ergh. I pretty much hate the night shift. Really really really hate it. It's not my normal shift which is just a late one finishing at 11pm, this one goes on until 2am. I resolve my hatred of it by eating. Today I had a dairy milk and two bread rolls which weren't planned for. Wouldn't be so...

Well done everyone today - some great losses. And even if you sts or put a wee bit back on - you've had another week of learning how to do it. Good luck tuesday weighers Zx

HotPants (yeah baby) *makes 70s "wicky wow wowww" noise* I have acquired a pair of these: Sexy beasts aren't they? Bet you're all properly jealous. They are running short type things that are meant to reduce cellulite and slim thighs/fat arses by literally making them sweat 80% more...

Dear Bev and Hev, I had ANOTHER 100% day today. And given that I gained this week and I would normally overcome my self loathing by eating toffee crisps - well, it's practically a miracle. This is totally down to this challenge. Nothing else. I've struggled for weeks to get my head back into...

That is brilliant. I'm going to do one. Not presents tho - that would be copying. And I *always* got told off for copying at school.

I just made the arduous journey of 14 steps to teh upstairs bathroom and....... I've put half a pound on. I am now in full on sulk mode. Booooo SO, I *think* that now means I have to lose 10lbs in 9 weeks. Prefectly doable but only if I focus properly. I've had 3 consecutive days of being...

I want bananas and custard SOOOOO badly. ANyone know how may syns in one of those individual pots of low fat custard?

I was 100% today. Just a small thing but I"m reminded I can do it when I want to. Little victories

Awww - A Baby Gotta Have new Booties. Good luck!!

Bev/Hev For your statistics..... I just updated my details to include the extra weight I lost last year on SW before I gave up. So my start weight on here is now 209 instead of 199.5 I'm seeing it al (including my diet holiday) as one long journey now

I've had a bad day at football. I really took advantage of the egg mayonnaise sandwiches. Just dashed home for a baked potato and beans rather than joining the boys for a curry. Then heading back out for a bit of body magic at the music night. Seriously considering wearing about 10 layers so I...

Do you weigh in between now and Sunday? If so that doesn't count. It's any weigh in from Monday onwards. e.g. I weighed in yesterday - which doesn't count. But I'm technically now on the challenge as what I'm eating and exercising now will effect my first official challenge weigh in which is...

Thank you!! x I actually struggle to use my syns on a green day as anytime I want a treat I'll have an alpen light bar - so cutting back a bit won't hurt. Kind of lucky that I messed it up on day one as I have 6 days to repair it all. I am out at a buffet dinner tomorrow night at the football...

Erg. Autocorrect. Where it says "passage" it means PASSATA

I've not done Extra Easy for aaaaaages but went out to a friends for dinner last night where I had Spaghetti bolognaise. Can someone double check my day for ne please.... Breakfast: ready break (hex b) with slimmed milk (part hex a). Banana Lunch: tuna pasta bake. (past, tuna, passage, chopped...

My brain has gone dead. I weighed in Weds. So my next WI is next Weds. So, technically I've already started the challenge haven't I? Not that it should make any difference and I should behave whatever, but if the race is on I probably need to focus *drinks hot water and lemon* Also. I went...

Also - I may be having some supernatural influence over the TV as every time I am on here the Weight Watchers advert comes on and I feel obliged to stick my fingers up at the tv and tell it how much better SW is. Maybe it's just on all the time

What's the scores on the doors.... Well, this weeks WI results are in and, unsurprisingly I got another STS. It's been a bit of a 'meh' week and George is visiting so it's pretty much what I expected tbh. So here I am still stuck here at 12st 9.5lbs. But, it's okay. We're now in the...

It is 3am. I'm bloody starving and I have weigh in tomorrow morning. Fortunately I only have to make it to the upstairs bathroom as I'm an onliner. But "ergh" anyway. I sense I'm getting a plus this week as well. And by sense I mean I've eaten a ton of rubbish and i bloody deserve to put on...

I'm addicted to it. Very badly in fact. My username is samesizedfeet if anyone fancies joining me. But, you should be warned I swear quite a bit and when I'm not shift talk absolute nonsense for hours

Okay - so I"ve not been on this thread for ages and I"ve been pretty rubbish full stop which means there's no way I stand a chance of making my original target of 25lbs. Erk But, as I"m now firmly back on the wagon let's see how much of a dent i can make in it. So, since June I have had the...

are any of you ladies on twitter? I fancy buddying up with someone who can bark at me to move away from the biscuit tin at moments of crisis. I get much more time on twitter than I do to pop in here.

Nope nope, sorry. It's on the official list now. 140lbs it is. We're all here for you if you find it a struggle at any point. Really admire your positive outlook. We know you can do it *makes encouraging cheering noises* :p Zoexx

I'm working at 7am Christmas Day so I may struggle on the glamorous photo aspect. If there can be a specialist "baggy eyes and dressed in jeans" section I'm in.

Okay. I'm in. I'll aim for 9.5lb which will take me down to bang on the nose of 12 stone. That's assuming I don't lose this week. If I do lose this week AND meet the Advent Challenge I will be UNDER 12 stone. That's a weight I've not seen since I was a teenager I reckon. Erm - I'm on my...

Thank you ladies. Your kind words mean a lot. I had a bad Thursday. I forgot my lunch so had a baguette from Pret a manger (too scared to look up the syns) and I also had a massive bag of cheesy curls at work. That was Thursday though. It's now Friday. New day. New spirit. New hope. Zxx

Hi Girlies, Hope you're all doing okay. I just ordered some size 14s in the Matalan sale. Going to hang them on the bedroom door for inspiration. Ideally, I'd hang them over the fridge or the biscuit cupboard but they'd get in the way. Diet has stalled somewhat but still hopeful of hitting...

Just posted a lengthy entry but my iPhone wouldn't post it. It was a complete stream of consciousness as well so I can't even remember what I was saying. In short: doing okay. Struggling against life a bit. Weight loss has slowed. But not stopped so it's okay. Would like to do half stone by...

Week 27 - Beating the Plateau I got a STS. Which is better than a plus, but still yet another STS. In the past 6 weeks I have lost the grand sum of 1.5lbs. Now I know why this has happened. I've been a pig. Well, not a pig on a pre-diet scale but I haven't been synning and I haven't been having...

I shopped on Friday for my christmas jeans. Found a really lovely pair in Wallis. Liked them so much I tried the 16 on as a pair for wearing now - WAY too big. 14 fit fine which leaves me having to use the 12 as a slim in too for Christmas. My aim for this thread was 14 Are Wallis generous with...

Post birthday Weigh In - Booze Blues? Well, I properly went for it. Diet was well and truly forgotten last week and I decided to enjoy being one year older and do what the hell I liked. Now I know this is a bit pathetic coming so soon after my return to commitment. BUt I did try and do it...

How we all doing ladies? I think I may finally be back on track. Lost 4oz last week (I know, I should only count halves, every little helps though) and this week lost 1lb 4oz - so 1.5 over two weeks. That's about my average weight loss. And last week was my birthday and trust me I cheated a...

Well, my commitment to not go too mad for my birthday week has been a complete and utter failure. I have needed very little encouragement to get drunk or eat badly at all this week. Just back in from a girlie night out and hoping against hope that drinking from 5pm until 3am may be...

I ate the hugest slice of chocolate cake at lunchtime. And had french bread. Urgh.

I lost 4oz this week. I probably just farted at the right time or something but I'm taking it as a victory. Birthday week is in full flow so any loss us a victory.

Woooo - found you all. I'm currently squeezing myself unattractively into a size 14 top (baggy ones) and size 16 bottoms. I dream of having a size 12 bum but realistically I'll aim for getting in to a size 14 bum for christmas. That's a proper size 14 and not the cheating pair I can get into at...

It's been a mixture of life and work getting in the way of everything. Started with work changing a few shifts so I had a turn around time of 8 hours which killed me so I took a few days off being good and healthy. Then the riots meant working loads of overtime and killed me again. I lost...

*Tiptoes back in* *undoes top button of trousers* *sits and waits to be told off*

Not sure if anyone noticed me slink in here a few weeks ago and then slink back out again when I had a gain. But I've now had to WIs in a row starting with a 12 so I think I'm going to officially declare myself aiming for the 11s. I'm a slow loser so will probably be with you all and waving...

Hi Guys, thanks for checking up on me. Have had hectic work week which has runied both diet and Shredding. WI tomorrow so will update you all once I"ve seen how badly I did Zxx

Day 4 done. I skipped over the weekend. Sunday I planned to miss, Saturday was due to oversleeping for my day out with the little people. Made the mistake this morning of having a cuppa and cigarette too close to ShredTime and OMG the cardio was hard after that. Definitely getting the hang if...

Day 4 done. I also skipped over the weekend. Sunday I planned to miss, Saturday was due to oversleeping for my day out with the little people.

Pommette - It is done lying on your back. Stomach crunches basically. I've never been able to do them without getting neck pain. I think I need to use more stomach muscles to get up and not my back. MiniMum - I'm loving it so far. I'm even enjoying the fact that my legs ache when I walk and it...

I know I know. I can hear her say that but I can't figure out how to do it!!!! I ate chips tonight. I was at football and I was cold and I weakened

Shred day 2 completed. Some bits were slightly easier but I do feel my co-ordination is a bit sh*t as I can't get the bicycle abs thing right at the end right. Of course my co-ordination would be a million times better if they'd set it to Abba or The Nolans. I managed more push ups today...

I am very proud to present to you all: My Bingo Wings These are gonna be history

Quite happy to be your guinea pig Shigby. If I can do it it's a good sign anyone can. I've done pretty much zero exercise since I started SW apart from an occasional swim and a bit of walking. I smoke 20 cigarettes a day and pretty much give my doctor a heart attack whenever she sees me. I get...

Weigh In 19 - 1lb on Bloody George!!! Seriously. He bought with him a gift of an extra pound. SO I"m back up to 13 stone again. I seriously seriously seriously have issues with getting down into the next stone and getting clear of it quickly. Urghhhhhhhhhhh BUT, I have just completed day 1...

Hello ladies, Well, I just completed my first shred session. Day 1 Level 1. This is the first bit of proper exercise I've done in years and although I'm only an hour out of it I'm feeling it already. Hope I can do all 30 days. Determined not to be a quitter on this. Zoe

Wow. Do I feel like I have some magical power to summon the devil or harness the seasons. It's almost like I looked in the mirror and muttered Beetlejuice three times. Within about half hour of posting George arrived. No forewarning. No signs. Just my faint suspicion he was due. So - my...

Ladies, I'm sorry to have to do this but I'm going to have to start making notes on here about when George comes to visit me. Currently the only way I know when I'm due on is by reading back through my posts on here and trying to work out from my weigh in diaries. So, it's not happened yet...

Jackie, I've always had the benefit of having absolutely NO belly at all (unless I sit down). even at school I had a flatter/tighter stomach than the girls that did dancing 3 or 4 times a week. It's my hips, bum and thighs that carry all my weight. And I've learnt how to hide it well (note how...

Lynda, Thank you. We have the Jane Fonda on video somewhere. Although we no longer have a video player. My mum got that when I was a kid and played it about 3 times I reckon. I've never done an exercise dvd before. I've done a bit on the wii fit but we unplugged that last year for building...

Well, that was a palava. Tesco don't sell it. Neither does the HMV near my work (I rang), I just ordered from amazon and I've paid extra to have it delivered tomorrow by 1pm.

As you may have noticed I'm not yet in Tesco at the checkout with my dvd. I decided to eat before I went to prevent any bakery incidents. But as way of making me do it without backing out tomorrow - here's my before shots: Bust - 40.5 inches, Waist 35 inches, Hips 43 inches, thighs 25.5...

Okay - final request for advice...... can I do it barefoot or do I need trainers?

I used to have an exercise mat many years ago. Buggered if I know where it is now. I have solid oak floors so I reckon they're considered hard. Right, I'm going to put clothes on right now and go to Tesco and buy the dvd before I bottle out. Really looking forward to making people feel my...

In a move towards doing some exercise I bought some exercise pants things from UniQlo on Friday. they are too small :( So I'll have to do it in my pyjama shorts for a bit. Obviously not the going out and walking - that would be wrong. And I'd get arrested. And scare the locals. I'm also off out...

I'm there with bells on. They may not let me bring the sun lounger tho :(

Where are you? Can I come round with my sun lounger?

I am preparing myself for the possibility that I might wear a skirt soon. If I can figure out what shoes to wear with it of course. This is a long process for a pair of legs that haven't seen daylight in about 5 years. They're really really pale. Shockingly so. So yesterday I bought a sun...

Tonight I have eaten a tesco chocolate croissant and then I had to stop at the garage on the way home just now as the empty tank light was screaming at me...... and I reverted to my fat girl type and bought a square bun thing with icing on top and raisins in it. Even as I went to the back of the...

Well done Michelle. As a fellow serial weigher I too can advise that it will do nothing but dry you into being a mentalist. Keep them hidden Zxx

Feel a bit of a cheat for posting those from before I was doing SW properly. although the 9.5lb I lost last year was done with SW I was just really bad at it!!! I am slightly worried though that my boobs seem to be shrinking much quicker than the rest of me :D

Ach, Jackie, don't be a wee dafty. Everyone is welcome here. I don't do go to a group due to my shift working so everyone that pops by here offering me advice, comfort and a few positive words IS my sw group. Of course at real group I probably wouldn't throw such a massive tantrum as I did...

Hahaha - thank you honey. I prefer me like this too. Some days the dark places don't even offer a chink of light though. You gotta feel for everyone at my work though: I was an absolute nightmare to be around last week and they had weather the storm for 10 hours at a time.

I only went and forgot...... I re-did my measurements yesterday as that was going to be subject of my diary update. So anyway... here they are. I've included those from a year ago just in case anyone is looking in and wanting to see how they measure up. I'm 5ft 3 and June 2010 I weighed...

Week 18 weigh in - "Taking Snapshots" aka flash bang wallop what a picture Okay - so news out of the way first: I lost 2lb. I made my 13th July target with 1lb spare. I'm finally at a weight that starts with a 12. My week of being a misery guts is over. I'm willing to admit that SW does still...

Hello all. I have just managed to sneak my wobbly butt down into the 12s today so have waved farewell to my 13-er buddies and joining you all in here. I'm guessing there are other old 13-ers in here too. Hello again :)

If we can manage to add some vodka into this experience I am there with bells on

2lb off for me this week. Finally. Thought I was stuck Alley1985 30lb (0lb lost ~ 30lb to go) Amy2249 28lbs* (0lbs lost ~ 28lbs to go) Anna Vixen 45lbs* (2.5lbs lost - 42.5lbs to go) Blue Bunny 31lbs* (1lbs lost ~ 30lbs to go) Bobsledwheels 32lbs* (0lbs lost ~ 32lbs to go) caldil 42lbs* (11lbs...

Ooooh - and I just noticed that tomorrow is the date of my next target. I need to lose 1lb to get there. I shall dream of slim things and hope that has a massive impact.

In about 6 hours I have to weigh in and I just had a packet of Caramel Nibbles. 10 syns. Didn't like them. Takes me 2.5 syns over for the day. I know it won't affect my weight loss for the morning but I still know I'm being a bit of (well, a complete) idiot about the diet at the minute. I'll...

Thank you. I do prefer porridge (or ready brek) in the morning but had switched alternate days to fruit. I'll see how weigh in is this week and if it's bad I'll blame the fruity days :)

How's Mr Honky Tonk this morning? :-P

Is this right, Jackie? I eat a bowl of superspeed fruits for breakfast having been told to have the fruit early in the day as it will boost weightloss. Would I be best sticking to cereal?

Weekend has been slightly better. I think I may be going completely the other way though and I'm not eating nearly as much as usual. Although I always eat less at weekends as I occupy myself at home much better than I do at work

Just back on and catching up after having 5 days of being a misery guts. Had to stop here to tell you what great legs you have (pic before gym) *jealous face*

And I've also had a packet of monster munch. And an alpen light. So I'm at 35.5 syns for the day.

I have had two very bad days. Yesterday I barely ate anything. I had to cram in my healthy extras 5 mins befor egoing to bed. Today I treated myself to a Pret A Manger breakfast baguette, I just syned it. there's 27 syns in it. TWENTY SEVEN!!! I think I may have gone over the edge a bit.

Thanks for all your lovely encouraging messages. But I'm actually still so upset I could burst into tears. I have to keep my day so structured for doing shifts and NOT cheating that changing what I currently have as my standard food is quite a task. I knwo what fills me up and can see me...

I actually hate this diet right now. Half pound off. Which basically means with my pluses and STS of the past few weeks that's all I've lost since the start if June. Only a half pound. I could do that by having a long wee. I don't know what's gone wrong to be honest. It was easy before. Now...

Half off for me too. I'm having a really bad month. :( I can't do the whole list until I get to my computer at work as my phone won't let me c/p so much. This is my bit: Minus3.5 25lbs* (0.5lb lost ~ 24.5lbs to go)

It wasn't even nice bacon. It had been left under the heat lamps too long and gone all hard. Pah. It only puts my about half a syn over tho. SO not too bad. And i"m about to go to sleep so I can;t do anymore damage today. Phew Thanks Trixy Zxx

It was from the canteen. So at a guess grilled. Not lean. And I'm having an Green Day not extra easy. I've had nowhere near enough veg/fruit for extra easy.

Erk, working Sunday fails me again. Anyone know how many syns in an average rasher of bacon? Sunday food diary (green day) Breakfast 7am: Ready brek with banana (Hex B and milk from Hex A) 2nd breakfast 9.30am: Scrambled eggs, mushrooms, 2 rashers of bacon (?? syns) Lunch 2.30pm: Jacket...

*waves at Pommette* Just checking in and throwing up my food diary for today..... Thursday - green day Breakfast 11am: Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and vlf naural yoghurt Lunch 2.30pm: Pasta with quorn sausages and mushroom with passatta (1 syn) Snack 6pm: sushi box...

Hahahaha. That's a lesson learnt. I count them out and leave the packet behind. I've had an incident in the past where I kept having one more then one more then one more. The 4 I intended to have became about 16. Never again.

I'm going to jump in here too if I may. Missed out on joining before this weeks WI which leave me 25 weeks so I'm gonna aim for 25lb, what with me being a bit of a tortoise when it comes to weight loss. Would be amazing if I could do that. How Santa's going to be able to leave my bedroom after...

I got a STS this week so don't even need to update the list :( Moving on....... Amandas11976 16lbs ~ (5.5lbs off 10.5lbs to go) Catmonkey 14lbs (3.5lbs off - 10.5lbs to go) Chloecat 20lbs ~ (0lbs off ~ 20lbs to go) Cindersmcphee 8.5lbs (1.5lbs off - 7lbs to go) Funky monkey 7lb (0 loss - 7 to...

Wednesday's food diary Green day Breakfast 1pm: Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries covered in low fat natural yoghurt Snack 3.30pm: Alpen light apple (half 1st Hex B) Lunch 5.30pm: Pasta with tuna and sweetcorn and a hint of vlf mayo (0.5 syn) Snack 8pm: pineapple...

I got a STS. Which is good I suppose. I have to admit to myself that I'm having trouble re-focussing still and I did a lot of picking at the weekend. Thought I might get away with it. I didn't. Lesson learnt. I'm also at the cusp of moving from a 13 something down into a 12 something. I've...

When I wake up it's going to be time to weigh in. Not feeling very confident tbh. *sigh*

Nooooo. Photos binned. Small children may wander past.

Went to BBQ yesterday. Ate way too much bread. Now look pregnant. Superspeed Superspeed Superspeed Superspeed Superspeed Superspeed

She knows she upset me. That's enough for me. Like I said: I posted that late when I was tired and had just seen her about turn on weight loss. I need to learn to let myself digest information overnight. Saw her last night and she's cutting back and doing the gym rather than going back on the...

Okay. So you've had a few bad moments. And that's all they are MOMENTS. just wee little flickers in time. You didn't eat pizza and cake for a whole week, or a whole day or even a whole hour. It was just a moment. It's much easier to put a brief window in the day behind you and get back on...

Dear Dietary, I love you. I think you and I get on really well to be honest. I know we've only known each other properly for like, 4 months, and love is a pretty big word to be using right now, but I know I mean it. We work so well together when we're both pulling in the same direction this...

I'm going over to see my friend to night and give her a few SW refreshers. I'm looking forward to it. At my age you think I'd know not to get too emotional about things when it's late and I've had a long day. I'm also having another Extra Easy day - which makes me feel extra uneasy. I had one...

Ooooh - she knew she was doing it. It was done as a joke but it wasn't that funny. And she knew she pissed me off as she told a friend that she thought "I didn't like her any more" and I was "being really off" with her. So I told her exactly why and that turning it around to make it look like I...

It's late. i can't sleep. I am bored. SO I did this...... This is the "just a 1lb" we get miserable when we lose: This is a half stone - mini targets achieve big things I've lost this much already:

I have done quite a few weeks of hot water and lemon and I did seem to have better losses those weeks. I quite like it actually. I'm going to do it for the rest of this week and see how I get on. I don't think it makes any difference using fresh lemon or 'jif'. I used both. It takes a bit of...

I have this friend. We're pretty close - well very close - although she doesn't know everything about me (even some of the stuff I tell you lot as I consider you 'safe' for revealing secrets to). She did SW last year and lost loads. Then the guy she's madly in love with made it clear he wasn't...

Those are my football boys. Couldn't get drunk without their encouragement.

I may be able to help out but I'm about to leave for work. I'll take pics tomorrow and post up for you

Hi all - alright if I pop in here occasionally too? I'm 5ft 3.5ins (and a tiny bit more). I'm 30-*cough* and currently at 13st 1.5lb. I started out SW in March at 14st 3.5lb but had been slimming very badly on and off for about 18 (yes, eighteen) months in which I managed to get down from 14st...

what kind of dresses are you after? Dressy dresses or day dresses?

Hahahahah - I was just thinking I wonder how many people will want my scrappy old jeans. Especially as I'm very short in the leg. Even buying the petite stuff the ankles scrape on the floor and get frayed within a couple of wears. I do have loads of lovely tops though. I'm off Friday so I"ll...

Michelle, So glad your first meeting went so well. Getting a warm welcome and not being left to feel like a newcomer (even tho you were) is a great way to put you in a positive mind set for the journey. You're going to do fine. I feel it. Feel free to bombard us all with questions. It took me...

I"m going to delete those tomorrow by the way. In case anyone is looking in here 6 months from now and is confused. Especially the very drunk dirty feet ones from 5am.

PICTURES REMOVED!!!!!!

THOSE OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION LOOK AWAY NOW This is what happens when I get drunk: PICTURES REMOVED!!!!!!

I think they've gone down actually. I was looking at all the meatfree stuff the other day after the quorn sausages changed. I'll check online and confirm.

if I'm brave enough later i may share the pics of me in the dress whilst drunk and looking a complete mess. Just so you can all see how a night can go wrong after vodka, shots and jager bombs

NOt a bad idea - we totally need a clothes exchange on here. I've sent so much size 18/20 stuff down to the charity shop recently that I'm sure would have come in handy for someone else who's on their way down but not wanting to have to spend loads just to slim out of it again Zxx

Was just stumbling around looking for a new diary to read and popped on here. You seem to have attracted all the rogues (naming no names) already. Good luck with your first meeting tonight. You're going in with a great attitude and you seem to have your head in completely the right place...

Hi Pommy, Welcome to the diary club. I've been doing mine since a few days after I started. I neglected it for a couple of weeks and managed to completely go off track. I find it really helps to keep focus on what I'm doing and trying to achieve. It's also nice to have a bit of a rant and a bit...

For some reason I had it in my head that it was for the start of July and there was only a couple left LOL. yes, I know the thread title should have given it away!! Feeling much more positive that I might achieve it now though.

Weigh in 15 - I am reviewing the situation..... Right - definitely time for a proper diary update. I was going to do this next week when it would be 4 months/16 weeks but I changed my mind (I'm a woman - whatchya gonna do about it!!) I've had 15 weeks of SW and have lost the grand total of 16...

I want pictures too.... As a girl who wears jeans n trainers to work I'm always in awe of women who dress well and make a statement. There's loads of them around Canary Wharf. They probably look at me and think I'm the cleaner.

1 more off for me today. How many weigh ins have we got left lol? Amandas11976 16lbs ~ (4.5lbs off - 11.5lbs to go) Catmonkey 14lbs (0lbs off - 14lbs to go) Chloecat 20lbs ~ (0lbs off ~ 20lbs to go) Cindersmcphee 8.5lbs (1.5lbs off - 7lbs to go) Funky monkey 7lb (0 loss - 7 to go) JoC 8lbs ~...

Well done Trixy. Losing on * week is always a great boost :) Zxx

Looking at that photo I have come to another conclusion ....... Most of my meals are eaten at work and therefore eaten out of tupperware. Normally I'd have my summer fruits in a little plastic tub. I'm going to start eating things as proper meals in the office by putting them into bowls and...

Today's breakfast..... I had a banana earlier. And now I've been told that I shouldn't eat more than 2 bananas per day. Anyone know if there's any truth in that at all. I tend to have 2 but there are days when I can eat 4/5.

Hahahahah - I just remembered I did som epictures of myself in pants and bra the 2nd week into SW. I shall now attempt to recreate them and see if I look smaller. That'll keep me busy for a bit.

Thank you, Sausage. I've almost got my head back to the place it was at the start. I'm still being a bit of a picker. And I keep weighing myself every morning (I know, it's bad, I'm the biggest advocate of keeping people off the scales too!!). I'm slightly worried that, as predicted, last...

I'm here :) Had the longest ever day (well it feels like it). Managed to get to bed very early and drop off almost immediately so when I woke up at 3.30am there was just no sleep left in me. I did have to be up for work at 5am anyway so it wasn't so bad. That did mean I had 2 breakfasts...

I had two jammie dodgers today. And a packet of quavers. And a packet of monster munch. I hate Saturdays when I have nothing to do. It makes me eat

So, two weeks ago, whilst still somewhat drunk and delirious over football, it seems I set myself several targets in several posts (I don't really remember doing this I just found them now reading back) At the time I was 189lb and of the several I set I'm going for this one: I lost 5.5lb on the...

Half pound off for me. Which is MUCH better than I expected. Very pleased with that.

I've given it a soak with washing up liquid. Going for a quick inspect now. But.... really??? bleach in a pan?????

It's the blue cheese stuff that I don't think comes in extra light. Laughing cow sent a load of freebies to work last week and I managed to grab most of the low fat stuff to save a bit of money. I can't actually tell the difference between the blue cheese and the normal stuff though so I could...

Ooooooo - having just done my online food diary on the website it seems I was meant to have 5 squares of cheese anyway - not four. So I get my extra square anyway. I may take one on account of burning incident and have some ryvita and cheese later at work.

Well........... maybe not no. But it's still a lot. Given it's one of my Hex As I don't want to become calcium deficient. You'll never forgive yourselves if I get rickets or whatever because you wouldn't let me have one more square of laughing cow

And also - I've obviously lost about 50% of the cheese which is now stuck to the bottom of the pan so I don't know whether to take that into account and have two more squares later or write it off!?!?!?

Going on the average of my recent 'achievements' 32 is about 10 years too old for me :p That feels so wrong. I just made some cheesy pasta - pasta with some Laughing Cow melted into it - and i think I may have completely destroyed one of our saucepans by looking away for 2 seconds and...

Ooooooh, looks yummy. Except (on a personal level) the beetroot - I guess that's what is turning it pink. I'm very anti beetroot as I don't like all my food turning pink. What are your beans/pulses?

He has no front teeth. I feel this may be a step backwards for me

Sorryyyyyyyy. I had my summer fruits for breakfast. I now have to go chop more summer fruits to take to work as that was meant to be my snack pot for this evening. There is a man in my back garden spraying the weeds so I'm waiting for him to go away before I go stand in the kitchen in my...

I've done a sneaky weigh in a day early. I kind of wanted to know where I was at after my mad weekend. Turns out it's not too bad, In fact considering I though I'd put on it's quite good. I'm half a pound off. I know it's a day early and tomorrow may be different. Downside is I'm thinking my...

I'm joining in too if I may. Have already set myself a mini incentive for 6th August so this fits quite nicely with that. I'm aiming for 7lb. I have a weigh in on Wednesday where I *know* I"ve put on already so it will actually 7 + whatever I gain this week. Eeek. Time for a little re-focus...

Well done Shelski. Good work :D

Chin up, hen. I've lost my way a bit too. And like you it's just as I'm starting to feel good about losing weight. You and I nee dto refocus together. We can bloody do this. You know it, I know it, anyone reading your diary knows it. It's got to be the easiest diet going. We just have to make...

I'm now logged onto the site from work so it feels like you're all watching me constantly. It's slightly spooky to be honest. You bunch of stalkers, you. Zxx

Well, I'm a letdown already. Nature and venue of yesterday's bootie call meant I had pizza for dinner. Deep pan. And therefore had leftover pizza and chocolate bar for breakfast. Putting that behind me: I won't allow it to ruin the remaining day and a half left of this week. Now fully focussed...

Day 96 - It's so funny how we don't talk any more Okay, it's time for a proper diary update I feel. Since I stopped doing this regularly (and coming on site 4/5 times a day) I've managed to go weigh off track. I've completely lost my focus. I know I've had tons going on and in the last month...

I'll take that happily. My Mum's 60th birthday party last night and I was well and truly snared by the buffet devil. Not helping we bought loads of leftovers home!!! Fortunately I'm out tonight on a bootie call so I won't be eating much.

Am I allowed to claim a NSV for size 14 jeans even if I know they only fit because they contain stretch?

I've put on this week :$ On phone at mo so will update properly when I get to work. Bad bad bad Zoe

Buffets are the work of Satan. Really. In Hell there is nothing but buffets to eat from. It's his way of tempting you little by little, nibble by nibble to the dark side. It's what Vegas was built on - buffets, nudity and hedonism - the home of Satan

It was unbelievable. I am easily pleased.

Is it wrong that I read this and thought I'd quite fancy half a pack of biscuits crushed up and sprinkled on half a tub of ice cream?

I think we've well established I'm an uncontrollable drunk too. Sent from my iPhone

I still love you. Even though I know you're going to be eating birthday cake very soon and this makes me VERY jealous. :p

Nooooo. You should go. here's my theory (it's long)....... I weigh 150lb. I spend one week eating nothing but rubbish and fear the scales. At a guess I've put on a couple of pounds and I don't want to know so I skip class. I feel quite bad about this. I then have an amazing week superspeeding...

I just licked the inside of a monster munch packet. Sent from my iPhone

I an depressed over my sneaky weigh in this morning. My house is full of exciting food ahead of The Mother's 60th birthday party this weekend. For example: right outside my bedroom door is a tray with about 50 packets of crisps in it. So far I've resisted but my god it's a struggle. So far...

I'm tempted to try now. I *swear* I'm not drunk still. I used to have a thing for eating cold beans out the tin using barbecue pringles as a scoop. That is definitely The Old Me. Sent from my iPhone

I return shame free. But with dark confessions of eating a wispa. And conducting a mid-week weigh in. We shall never speak of either again. I remain focussed on eating melons and baked beans. Not together. Sent from my iPhone

I am going out drinking again. I have saved syns and can allow myself 10 vodkas and not be over for the week so far. My friend is on the prowl which pretty much means I am playing sidecar. Expect more tales of shame in the morning

trying to. really hard. I deleted an ongoing chat conversation I was having with him today. And have avoided texting him. Feeling slightly used. Strangely never happened to me before. I"ve never had a one night stand .

I'm not sure I can cope with the sleepless nights of guilt afterwards to make it worth it.

That talking cake can be a nightmare. Sent from my iPhone

I lost 5.5lb this week. Not quite sure how as I've been an horrendous drunk. I've now done my first stone (plus a bit more) and I'm 1/3 of my way to target. A bit shocked to be honest. Ive never done more than 2lb even on my start week. Hey ho. Hope everyone else is having a good week...

Reminds me of my 20s too. Lol Sent from my iPhone

Erm. Will you judge me if I say lots? Hahaha. Sent from my iPhone

Erm. Am I allowed to swear on here? I mean really swear? Because right now all I want to say us "Oh My F*EUR}ing God" Well. My own special interpretation of SW this week which, although eating the right foods, has seen the introduction of vodka, shots and jäger bombs and doing the sexy body...

I have made THE most horrendous mistakes with men (well, boys actually) over the past few days. I actually hate myself. And I should know that what's done is done and you can't go back. And you should never have regrets in life. But right now I'm just turning it over and over in my head. Even...

I'm back. Properly this time. End of season celebrations all completed. I've drunk too much, partied too hard and may have completely lost my dignity on a very dubious incident Saturday night. It's at least two weeks since I've kept a proper food diary so I aim to start that again today. I...

You'll be fine. The syns are really really low. It's just worth knowing they may be there

I shall stick with my fresh melon and my ice cream scoop then :D

Really? Because that would be great news for me on night shift when I get peckish. My Mum's consultant told her that all the pre-prepared stuff has preservatives in it which gives it syns. I found that hard to believe as the stuff goes off so quickly.

The pre-packed melon is rank and it has syns. The fresh stuff is a pain to chop up but is great for superspeeding with. And Tesco always have one sort on offer. Sent from my iPhone

Hello. I've been away. I am back. I missed you. You're looking AAAAAmazing. Sent from my iPhone

Nnnnnnng. Yes, okay. I lost and then put on since I've been gone. The put on is mainly booze. At a football match where my only drinking option was blue wkd so I was basically drinking sugar. For two days. I also had a very very very late * week. I'm as regular as anything. 28/29 days spot on...

Hello Buddies, Been on the missing list. Can I come back? Sent from my iPhone

Just popping in to say excuse my prolonged absence but I've been busy getting drunk. Back to work later and I'll update you on the good (football) and the bad (I put on weight) Zxx Sent from my iPhone

thank you

What colour is the icon? SO I can narrow it down, please. There are about 10 in the app store

Can anyone that's done/is doing this recommend an iPhone app, please? There's a few in the app store but they're all pay for and don't want to end up with a dud. I'd like one that I can play music over the top of but other than that something easy to use

Hahahahahahaha - we did let them get one. We weren't completely cruel. Proposal is if we win the final. So a 10 day wait yet. And it's Manchester City's stadium this year. Logistical nightmare. Us and Luton Town all have to travel from Euston. *whispers* between you and I and the other...

Can I take this as an official SW fact? Please?

GREAT pics, Sausage. And I'm meant to know these things as it's my job to be able to spot a cracking picture amongst all the rubbish we get sent at work.

I love ragging!! Only way I can get my hair to hold a vague curl. It's down to my waist so it's so heavy anything else just pulls the curl out. Looks fantastic. And you look so happy.

Trixy - have you changed your avatar????? Looking hot, baby. Loving the hair Pinkie - it is on tv - but on a very obscure sports channel only available on Sky and for an extra subscription charge. And their coverage is shocking. If we win I shall be on here drunk at about 4am to let you all now :)

Weigh In 9 - I Believe Erm, well. WOW. Having had a very bad week, part self induced part due to being so busy, I genuinely thought I'd have put on this week. I'm expecting the arrival of George at some point this weekend too which is never good as I retain a lot of water. So, Imagine my shock...

Thank you ladies. really mean it. Helps a lot as (as previously confessed) I always think I look okay until I see the photos a week later and hate myself. Weigh In in the morning. I am honestly NOT staying up late so I sleep late and put it off as long as possible. Okay, maybe a little bit

Busy busy busy yet again. Mumford and Sons did a benefit gig for our football club yesterday and I was a 'gopher' for the day. Which involved a million stairs and lots of running about (my room was on the 3rd floor theirs on the ground - god my legs ache). Still, one of the best days I've ever...

Oh oh oh oh - I completely forgot my BIG news....... Not having made it to the shops yet and getting very fed up with constantly hoiking my jeans up I rummaged through my bags and bags of clothes for all those jeans I've bought previously with the intention of "slimming into". As well as all...

Thank you so much Pinkie. The good wishes from other fans really does mean a lot to all of us. We're only 2 wins away from getting Wimbledon back into the league - the one thing the FA said was "not in the wider interests of football". Hopefully this is the year we show them Just starting to...

I'm fearing this too!!! I redid my measurements last week and got half way through and gave up as I don't actually appear to be any smaller. The size 16 jeans I used to squeeze myself into are definitely baggy on me but in the back of my head I'm wondering if all that squeezing has just...

Week 8 - You Keep Me Hanging On Well, I've not been here in a while. I've wandered by briefly but I now have a few days off so hoping to take the chance to re-focus myself and my commitment to the plan. I had a manic week at work and being on a newspaper means it's been pretty non-stop since...

Looking hot, chica. Really suits you. Had a hectic week so just trying to catch up. I'm game for a bit of speed dating if you're all going. All my single friends think it's a rubbish idea. I think it would be a giggle Zxx

I've been almost on plan today. Took my nieces and nephew to the park for a picnic in memory of my brother. We do it every year and there's about 50 of us. Home a few hours ago and just tidying up the mess. Ate two jaffa cakes in the process. I also had a chicken leg with skin on it earlier...

I've had a very long week at work with the Royal Wedding. I think I've got a bit lost. Very disheartened right now

Dont beat yourself up, Em. We all have days/nights where we fall over. It's continuing to stay down or choosing to get up again that makes the difference. I had an incident with a packet of mini eggs a few weeks back that I hated myself for even as I was doing it. I got refocussed straight...

One pound off for me this week. That takes me up to 9 in total which is more than I managed in the whole of last year when I wasn't really doing it properly. Whoop whoop Sent from my iPhone

HUGE welcome to Shelski and JackieN. Having somewhere to come for a whinge or a whoop whoop is great - and there's generally always someone around on here. This buddies group is invaluable to me. Shelski - we have pretty much the same target (mine is 49.5 in total) and I too have set myself...

I'm bored waiting for dinner to cook and people to arrive so I thought I'd share with you my Remember to Be Sexy bracelet. One bead for each pound I've lost so far so that whenever I'm out and the "one little treat won't hurt" crosses my mind I have a physical reminder of how well I"m doing by...

My ultimate goal is to lose 3.5 stone. That leaves my just at the top end 'normal' weight for my height. Until I start to get a bit closer I don't know if I will go all the way or not. I want to be a comfortable size 12 but as I can't really remember the last time I was there I don't know how...

Easter Sunday - No days off When I started back on SW 6 weeks ago it was because I had made a pact with my boss that we'd give up cake and biscuits for Lent. I thought that if I was going to that sort effort I may as well make it as a whole regime of healthy eating. So, today it ends. Lent is...

I love maths. I'm a little bit of a numbers freak. Should have been an accountant or a money whizz in The City. Anyway, I just worked out that keeping my target at 150lb I am 16% of the way there. That's slightly above healthy weight for my height but think I'll end up too skinny if I go...

I'm about 50/50 with driving and taking train. We have a lot of long trips that I let the train take the strain for - anything 2-2half hours away I drive. I'm lucky that it's now becoming habit for me to prepare my days worth of food to take away and no-one mentions it so I don't feel...

Weigh in Six - I Am Reviewing the Situation Doh doh doh, another two bite the dust...... 2lbs off girlies. Whoop whoop. Pretty chuffed with that. I know I went well overboard on the Baileys and Irish stew when I was in Dublin so was expecting a STS again. I guess last week being George's time...

Well done Rachel. That's a cracking loss.

2lb off for me. Very happy with that. Seems weighing in on * week last time has managed to counteract the excess of Baileys my cousin made me drink at the funeral. Back on track for 1-1.5lb loss per week (I'm on 1.3333). Whoop whoop

Weigh In tomorrow (well, today technically) for me. Not looking forward to it. I suspect I have another STS after last Thursday. I shall report back from the bathroom once I wake up Well done on all your great losses girlies *jealous face*

OMFG!!!! 8lb in one week is amazeballs. I'm so proud of you. I hope you know what an inspiration you are. As I drip the odd pound off every other week reading you diary is the kick up the ass I need every day to prove that it's totally worth sticking with it. So so pleased for you Zxx...

Fooof - have I been busy with recovering/football/work/sleep So - you get the pleaure of almost 3 days worth of food diaries in one go: Friday Green Breakfast 1pm-ish - summer fruits and a low fat natural yoghurt Lunch 4pm - two small packs of veggie sushi (1 syn), 2 ryvita sesame (Hex b)...

can anyone post link to the other one. Can't find it. I'll update here too but I was a STS this week so no adjustments needed for me (except in my effort of course)

I deal more with visiting directors and FA people. They're generally okay as long as they "get" what we're about. We do get the occassional idiot. We got more of them in the lower leagues though. Oooooh. Piccy. :) can't wait. Zxx Sent from my iPhone

You're right, Girlies. I'll stay as I am and just be super good rest of this week. Today's WI would be totally warped anyway as my George just arrived. And I just had a flashback to my mums cousin (who I call uncle Sean. Don't ask!!) buying me Baileys after Baileys. Saying: Eva told me to...

Slept okay. Not nearly enough yet but I do have the day off to fit in lots of mini naps. Can't decide whether to do a mini restart today i.e. weigh in and do a full week and then continue to weigh in on Fridays from now on. I don't think I did too badly yesterday. I had a couple of cocktail...

Day 38 - I am a fat bloater. If you want to lose weight never meet my family in Dublin. They are feeders and they love a buxom woman. I have slept 2 hours out of the last 37. That is all Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzoe

I've missed 4 away games so far this season. All played midweek and too far to get to or couldn't rearrange work. I love the away days more than home I think because I do matchday hospitality and club photographer which means missing some of the game. We have a lot of very long northern day...

I am AFC Wimbledon. I always drop the AFC bit though - we'll always be the real Wimbledon in my head and don't need the prefix. :)

This is just another example of how lax I've started getting btw. Weeks 1-4 I wouldn't have bought the bread roll at all if I knew I'd have trouble synning it but I've slipped back into my "you deserve one" mentality. I am currently slapping myself really hard round the face with a kipper.

It was a small tesco in store bakery crusty roll, but with olives and stuff in. Their online store doesn't say how much carbs are in it or protein so I can't work it out properly. I'm guessing 3.5 plus a bit more probably. Which is a very rubbish attempt at guessing.

I got a STS this week. Pretty much expected it and I know where I went wrong. Moving on and looking forward to next week's Weigh In instead of dwelling. Zxx

Week 5 - Woolly Bully I referred in an earlier diary to spending a year following a knitting pattern and at the end of it finding out all you've knitted is a ball of wool. That's where I'm at this week with my STS. Fortunately I'm quite aware that I've strayed a little off plan and had a bit...
