So busy but kept on the straight and narrow! Now lost 20lbs - stayed the same over Christmas which I was proud of considering how busy I was! Back to strict low fat and healthy eating! Happy new year to all x

Me too! :)

It's comfort with a capital C! :)

Thank you!! I feel it's clicked but I am aware I could be healthier in choices but I will focus on that after next week/ Christmas events are over! Hope you feel better and tuck into hoops on mash soon :) x

Hello! So busy at the mo don't have time to update! :( Hope all you lovelies are okay x I've also found another strange combo that I love - a tin of macaroni cheese with a tin of sweet corn stirred in - have added some lean ham and its good for two dinners! Yummy! Been drinking lots of...

Stayed the same but TOM arrived a minute before so hoping it evens out this Saturday! Crazy busy - both work and socially at the moment and this is usually where I fail. Just the thought of an accident is keeping me on the straight and narrow - food wise although I am have had quite a few...

Thank you all so much! Great support on here! Missed weigh in today but will do so tomorrow - excited!! :/

Finding this "fat watch" quite enjoyable! So much freedom to still be social with a little forward planning! Still need to up my water intake though. Get so busy at work I just forget! And My Fitness Pal - wow is that my friend! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Brilliant stuff Lexie! It feels right to me and that's a big step forward for me! I do like that I can still be social - a bit of forward planning and a few different choices and all will be good! Feeling very bloated today - think I need to up my water intake as only been managing just on...

Lexie - I have stalked the life out of you on here! I feel the same about this pill as you did! It's not the cure but it's mindset - I'm so scares of the consequences that I know I will make the right choices! You are amazing! What you has achieved whilst "keeping it real" inspires me so much...

Hi everyone! I have been reading all your wonderful advice and journeys over the last few weeks and have been very inspired! I joined this forum at the beginning of the year determined to make this year count.. Started on Slimming World but found it quite restrictive with my busy lifestyle...

Was really ill in Feb and March and ends up on steroids during April :(( Went off plan and then just couldn't get back into the groove! WW is the way forward for me as I have a new job that's so busy I have to eat on the run and the counting will suit! Well I really hope so! :) Hope...

I joined Sunday but only started yesterday but am having Friday as my weigh in day! I like to complicate everything! Lol!!! I think that there is something for everyone - it's what makes the world go round ;) I have a new role work wise that is so busy I just want to eat on the run...

Hello people - I've decided to go to the dark side! Starting WW as I just haven't jelled with SW - I have a new job which is so busy that I need food on the run so I think counting points will be easier for me - well I really hope so! Need something to work! Xx Sent from my iPhone using...

I have to admit to having another bad couple of days. Not totally off plan but not totally on it. Had all my syns and no healthy extras and the only reason is so busy at work that I was not organised getting my food ready! Been drinking the water though - but like you Suzy - work is no...

Have to keep remembering that this is a long term change and not an overnight fix! STS can be so disheartening but inches might have vanished. I tend to look at my loss over a month too.. well - thats what I plan to do!!!! We'll get there!

Thank you! Raring to go! Hoping that I lose a bit before I go to Dublin to see the Phoenix Festival that Lightbody won't recognise me! ;) Hope you're well! x

Hello Mini Mins et all! Well, what a February I had! Had an amazing time stalking the love of my life, Mr Lightbody of Snow Patrol but also had bronchitis, an ear infection and then plain ole flu. Been completely off plan, unmotivated and not posting on here (obviously!). However, pleased...

Can't believe where the last week has gone!! Had the best time ever in Manchester but totally off plan. Came back with a stinking cold and head first into a manic week at work. Have been good food wise this week but not 100% on plan - not a lot of fruit or water - just haven't been able to...

You crack me up!! Have a great day and I hope they listen :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well I am off to Manchester for the first of my Snow Patrol February concerts! Weighed in today so I could keep a check and I have lost 6!!! But I think I will weigh again on Sunday am and use that as I want it to be real - and I know I will bugger it up a bit now due to queuing all day...

Busy weekend but am now planning my week's meals and doing some cooking. This week is going to be a bit odd plan wise so I need to get very organised! I am off to see Snow Patrol on Friday in Manchester. What's wrong with that you may ask - well I am totally obsessed with Gary Lightbody so...

It's FA Cup Friday! Instead of 5 pints + I will treat myself to a few diet cokes and maybe a half time Bovril! Only ate fruit and an Alpen bar yesterday as was so busy with work - I know this won't do me any good weight loss wise. The day just ran away from me. Lots of water, exercise and...

Morning all! Can I ask about the super free - if it's included in the meal - e.g. Mushy Pea Curry with lots of extra veg in the "sauce" - does that count? I am reading this back and it's sounds very der but want to make sure!! Hope you all have great days! Janie x Sent from my iPhone...

I have had such inspiration from reading the diary blogs on this forum I thought I would jump on the bandwagon! Decided that 2012 is going to be my year. 2011 definitely wasn't for lots of reasons but thats done now.. looking forward is the only way. Loving the SW diet so far, weight loss...
