"There is a fine line between horny as hell and unconscious" that is all I have to say on the matter!!!

Me too the occasisional glass doesnt seem to stall me !! I have just spent 3 hours digging out the girls room and I truly deserve one!!

Was listening to Jeremy Vine at lunch time and the SAME OFFICER has done it before in 2004!! Unbelievable isnt it - he clearly has no sense of responsibility at all!!

My garden is looking great! Unfortunatley my shoulders are now a little red!! Jim you must be really proud of yourself - what is the weight difference between the two photos?

Wow Jim thats amazing!!

You only have a holiday every once in a while enjoy it!! When you get back home get back on track - dont be miserable having spent all that money!!

The best thing for me is that IT WORKS!!! I have never sustained a diet for so long, my way of thinking has completely changed and I have made it a lifestyle choice. I can actually believe that I will get to target!!

Thanks for asking Jim - difficult times with the ex !!! Emotionally fraught at the moment, I know it will pass but everything still pretty raw at the moment. I remain positive to be the best mum and person I can in this and to keep my dignity at all times!! I am also staying on plan!!

Feeling completely exhausted after a really stressful weekend - looking forward to going back to work as a distraction. Have pretty much kept to my plan which is pretty amazing and hopeful for more losses next week.

Have had a bit of a wobbly week but hey im still here and still working at it!! Husband has children today so not sure what I will do with myself - so rare to have any proper me time!!

I love it too - and if nothing else makes me realise how fortunate I am !! Bit like Jeremy Kyle !!!

I cannot believe the energy I have - Sunday mornings are made for lie ins and I am up and about at 5.30 am!!! Today I am going to get by self together and spring clean my house - need to feel in control of other aspects of my life as well as my eating!! Specifically the housework - never really...

Wow what a fantastic idea!!

What an interesting thread - thanks to all contributors for being so candid about the symptoms!!

Doing so well this week, really feeling motivated so can someone tell me exactly why I thought fish and chips from the chippy was a good idea last night!! Buggar!!

Despite being on atkins for 6 months I really do feel optimistic - i have never stuck to anything for this long and I can see the real results - no one can tell me a 3 stone loss is water !! I feel so determined to carry this through, my head is in the right place, just need my extra waists to...

Leanne1 how do you get the diary thing to count the carbs - mine doesnt look like that (it also has an awful lot more alchohol in it than yours!!!);)

The more the merrier!!! :flirt2:

I just made myself drink black coffee - they say after 17 times you begin to like it - now I dont like milk in it !! Try alternate times to get used to it black !!

We are going to Marrakech !!! Very excited !! AND another pound down this morning!! whooop !!

Well today I got into the 14s which I am well chuffed about!! Keeping my water intake up as I feel certain this is the key!! Have my holidays booked in 8 weeks so I am hoping to not sport the shorts stuck up the bum look then!! Happy days - hope you are all having a good one too!!

Sounds like you are !! all the best xxx

Having flirted with 15s in 14s for a week - I seem to be losing proper whoo hooo

I hate that anxious feeling though - like being unfaithful !!

lol I think I do!! Just a note on the water thing! Before when I really wasnt drinking enough my ketostix were pink but really only just, I thought this was because I was well hydrated, since increasing the water my stix are much darker, so clearly getting rid of all the rubbish needed.

Need to lose 60lbs ideally before christmas !!!

Have been at plateau for a couple of weeks now but after your fantastic advice really worked hard to increase my water intake - guess what ? I'm down a couple of pounds :D Must be all that exercise running backwards and forwards to the loo!!
