    Hi and welcome :) yes feel free to join us - tell us a bit about yourself. 8 mths is a fun age, I've got a 25 mth old and a 5 month old so I know how busy they keep you :) I wouldn't worry about the gain especially as it's totm as that always causes a water gain, it'll be gone before you know...

    Wow 6lbs you must feel great :) I think it is catch up time as I've only had 1/2 the amount of bars this week (1 every other day) and at my weigh in last night I'd lost 5lbs! So that takes me to exactly 3st in 9 1/2 weeks :) so going to do the same this week to see if thats what was causing the...

    2st 11lbs down so far and in all honesty I have no idea how much left to go as I'm at my lowest weight in my adult memory!! My initial goal was 12st so another 1 1/2st to go but I think until I'm happy with my dress size e.g see what I think at a 16, then 14 etc I have no clue. If I'm honest I...

    I know what you're saying I've just got to keep reminding myself that I've lost 2st 11lbs in 9 weeks! So the diet works. I think it's down to a few things to be honest, we're house hunting and I'm finding it really difficult to find anywhere, in cooking for the family every day but I'd say the...

    I think everyone is slowing down - I'm down to 3 a week even though I was always 4's and 5's, so I'm reducing my bars for the next 2 weeks to see if that makes a difference. I must admit I'm really struggling lately, I'm getting so fed up and I just want to eat :( so close to giving up and...

    Sorry to hear about your gain and hope you're finding SS OK as you start back on it fully. I'm with you on the meal front, if I think I want / need it then I think an SS+ meal every now and again won't kill me. Thank you both for the positive comments, but things are looking up this week...

    I know what you're saying is right I'm hoping its just a wobble. Tonight will be my 5 1/2 week weigh in as I started on a sat. So if I look at last week weigh in I'd lost 1st 9lb in 4 1/2 weeks so I suppose if I look at it like that it's a good loss. I guess I just want it all now. Also I...

    Jan's Cambridge Diary

    Jan, loving reading your diary so far and really agree with you saying that not eating has given you some time to look at the other things in your life. I can relate to that completely.
