Its horrible when big things like that knock you off track. My first attempt two years ago come July (gosh) I lost about a stone and then my dog had to be put to sleep so that knocked me off track. My second attempt I got down to 12st 4lbs then uni exams came last May and I never truely got back...

Keep going you are doing brilliantly

Hi I am a Thursday weighier too. So many failures and successes over the past two years but restarted 2 weeks ago. Weighted in at 13st 10lbs on my first week, 13st 6lbs last thursday and then fingers crossed for a two pound loss this week :D

Thank you:) I need to find your diary keep meaning too when I am on my laptop lol

Had night out last night. Normally it goes something like a fatty and carb heavy meal before hand, lots of alcohol with normal coke and a kebab to end it. With a chinese on the sunday night....can see how I am overweight yeah? :p Anyways ate well all day yesterday, stuck to vodka and diet coke...

Didn't even reach 12st 12lbs this time boo #useless lol. Focused again and down to 13st after a week back on it. On the bright side that is 6lbs lost this year, not ideal but only really been trying for about 3 weeks of the year so not too bad :) Meeting up with some old uni friends at the end...

That terrible week of work turned into another terrible week afterwards, oops. But been fully focused for this whole week and lost 3lbs, taking me down to 13 stone exactly. Looking to the 12s again next week. If I get to 12st 12lbs again and end up going haywire the next week I will cry, surely...

Some things i've cooked the past few weeks My first attempt at a fish pie. Tried to make it as healthy as possible, used philadelphia lightest and a tiny bit of milk for the sauce. For the top I used sweet potato. Bought a handy fish pie mix from tesco too so got plenty of different type of...

Well I had a week off work last week and the diet and exercise went out the window lol Got back on it for a few days this week but the scales only flirted between 13 1lb and 13st, so went with the higher number (that way next weeks target is more achievable ;) haha) Sort of happy I had a...

Thank you, will find your diary tomorrow too :)

Welcome back Nessa :) One day we will both be popping on here to create a maintaining diary :p Will find your diary sometime tomorrow, need to start using this site more to keep on track

Thank you have you got a diary?

4lbs gone this week, 12st 13lbs now :) That's half a stone gone since I restarted on the 6th of January. Making a healthy(ish) fish pie tonight, hopefully wont be a culinary disaster lol

Back once again with probably a forth diary in 18 months :D. Was gonna try and keep it short but here is a timeline of my weight gain and losses over the past 4/5 years Sep 2009- Went to Uni, at a very happy weight of 11 stone, lost half a stone in first few months to get into the 10 stones not...

Thanks guys really appreciate the support. Had quite a good week, mainly healthy meals accept my treat of fish and chips on saturday, was lovelyyyy. Its a struggle at work though, currently working at KFC and you can imagine the temptations. I just keep myself to some baked chicken, beans and...

Been a bit of a yoyoer dieter for the past year and a half really. Started out in July 2012 at 14st 12lbs...enough was a enough I wasn't happy and there was no way I was seeing those 15 stones. Had a hit and miss first few months resulting in weighing 14st 7lbs last October. Got down to 13st 1lb...

Weighed in one day early this week as I am going out for my managers leaving party tonight. Just -1lb down this week, quite happy with that though as I ain't ate well for the most part, slowly but surely

2 stone gone overall now and my god do I feel it. BMI down to a more respectable 29, down by 4.6 Just 1st 12lb to go to be in the normal weigh category. Feels really achievable now

W/I a day early this week, just 1 pound gone but happy with that i've not exactly been good this week lol. Slowly getting back down to 12.4-12.1lb I was before the diet imploded earlier in the year, thank god

Not expecting any loss this week, added in with the fact I am going out on Wednesday for a few drinks so W/I day will be a day earlier

STS this week, quite pleased with that, not a gain and 4 days out of 7 were really terrible. Few pounds lost this week and get into the 28 bmi :) I think I have built some muscle up under my fat though, I feel a lot leaner now then when I was 9lbs lighter in March

Had some lovely swordfish fillet for tea today, damage limitation for Thursday going well

Experienced why I am overweight the past week. Thursday- KFC and night out with the most amazing cocktails (full of cream) Friday- KFC at work Saturday- Pizza at friends Sunday- Pizza AND Kebab at home Was back to normal yesterday and today though, but just shows how doing that all the time...

The scales have surprised me, -4lbs lost. Means i'm back in the 12's, so happy with that

The scales have shocked me so much I had to stand on them about 10 times to confirm the number. But yes -4lbs lost, 12st 13lbs. Soooo happy, I have done loads of work this week my legs are actually aching (having a rest day). Also kept to having low carb meals and high protein, never done this...

Hoping for another 2lb loss tomorrow then can get back into the 12's next week :D

Decided by a week on Thursday I want to see the 12's on those scales again lol

Officially out of the obese bmi now (again), although I never looked in the mirror and thought I was obese. Such a downbeat word ain't it lol

Ignore the last post, decided to move my weigh in date to a Thursday (which has always been my normal W/I date). Weighed myself today and was 13st 3lbs, so actually 2lbs loss from my last weigh in two days ago. Its amazing how your body clings onto probable water after a night out and takeaway...

Decided to change from a Tuesday W/I back to Thursday after a terrible weekend haha. Down -2lbs :)

Had a funny old week, the majority of it I did fine. Then the weekend came :/ haha All in all resulted in staying the same, could be worse not let it get me down though. Keep pushing on through the disappointments :) Seen a brilliant quote the other day it went something like 'If you go in...

Oh no, know the feeling all too well. I had about two months off and put on a stone and half, so scary how quick you put it on ain't it. Least your back on to getting those scales moving down now, sure you can do it

Wow amazing seeing how well you guys are doing. I totally fell of the wagon since March and gained like a stone and half, but lost -6lbs of that in the last week, so not too concerning as I am 100% back on it now. Not setting a bold target no more, just want to be in the 11 stone category by...

Long time Nessa, hope your doing well

Downloaded the insanity workout too, haven't picked up the courage to start it yet but should be interesting to say the least. Heard good things about it

All going well so far, was picking at food a bit at work tonight. But had about 700 calories spare after my tea anyways so shouldn't have done any harm at all. For once I feel more relaxed about this, know I will slip up again at some point but hopefully not majorly like previously. Not...

-6lbs gone, down to 13st 5lbs now :) So one year on and exactly 1 stone 7lbs lost. Could be worse :)

Few picture updates. My puppy is currently in the nightmare phrase, just starting to bark. Myself now :) Lovely water melon and berry smoothy I made and my tea from today Sea Bream covered in garlic and lemon with mediterranean couscous

What was that date above, the 4th June....think I must have lasted a day or two at the most and failed at that one. So this time when I came back didn't wanna big myself up and then fail again. In those 5 weeks since the last post I had gained 3lbs, owch. So re-started last Tuesday at 13st...

Hey Donna nice to see you back going, 5lbs will be gone in no time. You're still a lovely 3st down on original weight woo :) I've been away for 10 weeks and gained a stone and half back :eek:. Exam times were more stressful then expected lol. Now I have given myself 10 weeks to lose two stone...

Weighed myself and put like a stone and half on :eek::rolleyes:. Hopefully that half will go quite quickly with being water weight (hopefullyyyy haha) Set myself a massive goal of dropping 2 stone in 10 weeks....very hard goal but gonna push to get as close as possible to it. I will see those...

On the plus side I have got a new puppy :D He was really ill a few weeks ago and had to be put on a fluid drip at the vets because he had bad diarrhoea and sickness, but he is all fine now. Finished uni now too, well sort of. Exams were a nightmare, before my first one I had some sort of...

Hey guys sorry about the lack of updates. Going terribly went off track totally, not weighed myself but a lot of my clothes are tight again :/. Guessing upper 13's. Going to get myself together this week and next then set myself a 8 week target to get into the 11's. Oh its a real struggle and...

A -3lb loss this week. Funny how this is a week I thought was going to be a wipeout and its turned out to be my biggest loss in sometime. Our bodies work in strange ways. Well done MissMiff and wannabeaminime

Well I am totally bamboozled A -3lb loss :eek: :eek: Only things I can put this down to is when I had takeaway at the weekend I had a lot less then I would do, but another thing in retrospect I have been active everyday this week which is not normal for me lol. Thats the only thing I can put...

wow amazing difference, well done :D

Everyones doing so well :D. Thursday is defo the best day to weigh in :p

Wow thats amazing in four weeks. The scales are always a good indicator but in reality it is those inches that we want to lose. I am getting my mam to sew a button a brand new pair of jeans I have from 2 years ago. Tried them on at the time and the button burst off hahaha fit now though :D Even...

My unhealthy weekend is over, defo a small gain this Thursday but I enjoyed myself and straight back on it today. Had tonnes of complements already and the majority of the clothes that I put away in July (hoping they would fit me someday haha) now fit :D. Its sort of like having a new wardrobe...

Going home on Monday too, hoping people notice my weight loss, oh I do lap up those complements :p haha

The start of my naughty weekend. Having chips, chicken kiev and onion rings feast tonight Tomorrow a big tea to put a lining on my stomach then lots of alcohol Then a Chinese on Sunday. Fingers crossed my good days this week will help even out my bad but fun weekend. In all honesty I have a...

I think I am more of a Kim too, i'm such a perfectionist, if I seen the tiniest crumb on the bench I would have to move it haha. Think I might just tell my friends to sleep in there as its cleaner then my bedroom now (Thats my task tomorrow lol)

Your Cottage pie looked so nice lol I am the same today with cleaning. Have friends coming to stay on Saturday and want it to look spic and span by then. Spent hours in the kitchen doing that yesterday, gonna tackle the bathroom today, seriously Kim and Aggie would have a field day in this flat lol

Another -2lbs lost, thats 2st 8lbs lost overall :D

Another 2lbs gone this week :D. Chuffed especially considering I know I won't be seeing that for about another 3 weeks lol Now 2st 8lbs lost, I can now stop saying i've nearly lost 2 and a half stone and can say over 2 and a half stone ;) haha That BMI is slowly creeping towards a normal...

We will just have to enjoy these off days as they are now a rare event :p. Always good to have something to look forward too though, I could never do a VLCD all that restriction would send me crazy haha. I'm sure we will still make wise choices, well wiser then if we weren't on the diet lol

I am confident you will easily get 3lbs if not more :D Wish I didn't like alcohol, not the best thing for your health lol. Not been out for nearly a month though, only drink that has passed my lips has been green tea and water lol Best of luck for tomorrow :)

Look who the cat dragged in :p. Glad to see your back and nice idea to just go from where ever you are at, whats done is done (good or bad) :D

Oh W/I day tomorrow to, hoping for a 2lb loss been really good with my food this week lol. Boiled eggs, oven chips and tuna for tea. Down to the last of my food, don't want to do another shop as I am going home for 5 weeks on Monday lol

Good idea Donna, nothing is terrible for you if you eat it in moderation, guess thats peoples down fall sometimes having too much restriction leading to a binge and failing at the new eating habits. Got a lot planned for the next 10 days though, involving copious amounts of food and alcohol...

I swear these days are coming around faster then normal, didn't seem nearly a week ago since the last weigh-in. What are the hopes of people this week? I am hoping for a -2lb loss, been really good this week again. The next two weeks are a bit hectic with food and alcohol though so possibly my...

Thank you we are doing so well :D Wow your doing brilliantly, 8 weeks without a slip up is amazing by anyones standards

Oh congratulations well happy for you. That worked out perfectly losing that weight right before you fell pregnant, its like your body and brain agreed before hand :p haha x

Thank you so much :) We have actually lost the exact same amount go us :p Must admit I love a kfc, definatly not having it every shift I work though. Even when I was back at xmas and went off the diet a bit I didn't fancy it so much. If I pick the right things though it ain't one of the worst...

Aww your dogs so cute. I had a Yorkie for 15 years but he passed away in August really was heartbreaking but in the process of persuading my mam to let me get a new one :p. I want a cockapoo, keep looking at puppy pics and they are adorable lol...

Haha thats such a good idea, I am already changing meals back at home even though I ain't there atm. Told my mam how healthy Turkey is and cheaper then chicken and they are having Turkey Curry tonight. Gonna be tougher back home, plus when I am home from uni I work at KFC....the temptation is...

Yeah you want nice fitting clothes to show your new size don't you. Saying that the loose clothes are always a good indicator of how far you have come. Yeah I know what you mean actually, never used to be much of a veg fan but can't get enough atm.

Oh god hope you are alright sounds scary knocking yourself out. Well done on your loss too :D

Thank you Donna :) I think I am starting to see the difference now too, esp in my clothes. Not gonna buy many new ones until I am down at least another stone though, baggy clothes look worse then tight ones lol Attempting my version of a chicken stew, more vegetables then chicken though, didn't...

Range of picture updates (helps me keep track of my progress :p) So these pics were when I started recognising I had to start getting a grip. April/May '12 about 14st 9lbs....still took a few months until July until I got going though. Then just before I started at my top weight 14st 12lbs...

Been pestering my Mam to let me get a new dog after ours passed away in August, but I think I have over pestered and I am not sure I want a new one now. Want to buy something after my exams though, I was thinking maybe a treadmill. Not the type of person to go to the gym fat or thin lol. So...

haha that made me laugh. Love your food pictures too, that steak, chips and mushrooms looks lovely. Definatly something I need to have for tea this week

Just realised I am 20lbs away from having a normal bmi....that is exciting :D

Thanks Donna :) Just got a big assignment back and got 63% in it, over the moon with that as I had expected about 55% at best. One of the lads in my group got 36%, not sure how I could go on knowing I got that in my final year lol Deciding how to celebrate. Was it a night out or a takeaway...

Hey Serha where have you gone :(

So I have given myself 8 weeks to get down 11st 7lbs....omg even just typing that is a bit overwhelming. Back in October at 14st 7lb I never dreamed I would be here talking about getting back into the 11 stone's in two months :D. Set myself a bit of a schedule of what I want to weight in the...

*Drum roll* -3lb lost, means I have hit my target a week early. No way did I think 6 weeks ago after being off the diet for 5/6 weeks that I would get back on it and be down to 12.6 lbs, feels amazing to actually have hit my target

-3 gone for me, so i've hit my mini target a week early :D :D Soooo happy, actually can't get the smile off my face I rarely seem to hit any targets I set myself in life

Wow well done once again, 4 stone is amazing you have this all under control, not even a slight slip up in 6 weeks that is impressive :D

Another Thursday W/I tomorrow, they are coming around fast ain't they. Not sure how I am going to do, but I have ate well all week. 1lb or 2lb loss would be lovely. What ever it is, my 12st 6lb target for next Thursday will literally be in touching distance. Going to work so hard this coming...

I've been really good this week but think I maybe just short of my target, but I still have another week to hit it so not too worried. A 1lb or 2lb loss will be certainly deserved this week after a totally undeserved 1lb loss last week

Yeah that seems like a sensible route to take. Defo agree with your treats every now and then, I normally try to go for it once a week, often something to look forward to :p Thank you, fingers crossed

Thank you so much :D. I have just read through your diary, I see you are thinking about upping your calories and a lot of people suggesting it. Whilst that works for a lot of people I would say just be careful how you do it. Learn how to understand your body, for example I can just go most...

Ah no, well least you are back on it now. I lost a stone originally in the summer, then put 9lbs back on and I was gutted. But I looked at it as I had a 5lb head start on last time and that motivation has made me lose two stone on top of that since October. You have a 12lb start on last time...

Wow 6lbs is brilliant. You seem to be doing really well, will give your diary a proper read later. Sense you have the determination to get down to your goal weight and be happy :)

Sounds brilliant Nessa, always nice to have a proper target to aim for :)

Because I have nothing better to do, I was trying to measure myself against old pictures and I would say this is the lightest I have been since November 2010, lets hope to keep rolling back the years even more :p

Me too and I enjoy the taste, I think by drinking more of it suppresses my greed sometimes. Not been a massive tea drinker before but for people who are it must be a good swap normal tea with sugar

Thats brilliant I ain't lost this amount before either, never been as heavier as I was at the start either though :P. Thank you, move onto my next target after this one :D. Only bit of advise I can give you (which you probs know anyways) is to set small targets. When I first started 5 stone to...

The rate your going at I am confident you will be there before you know it. Doing amazing

Amazing, how much more you got left to use cos thats a huge chunk in 6 weeks. -1lb down for me this week, really undeserved really been off the diet most of the week

A totally undeserved -1 loss 3 days of eating well should not be better then 4 days that involved a binge, two takeaways and a night out. No reason why I shouldn't be hitting my target a week early. -3 will be gone next week

Thanks Nessa, it was really lovely. Gonna make it again next week :) Totallllly messed up AGAIN this week though. I am hoping for 1/2lb gain to give me a kick up the arse. I could probably hit a 4lb loss if I didn't have my usual slip-ups every week. Expecting 12.12 tomorrow. Would mean 3lb...

Made the most delicious beef stew today. Used vegetable gravy for the stock and trimmed all the fat off the steak the night before, so was quite healthy too. This diet is making me a better cook :p. Also put a picture of myself on facebook and got lots of complements off my friends who I aint...

Thank you :) :)

Just tried on a t-shirt which I couldn't even get on back in July (didn't get time to take it back though haha). Now it fits perfectly, can even button the top button, which I couldn't even do in Jan. Feel proud. Two pairs of my chinos are practically hanging off me now, one pair won't even stay...

Hey Nessa how you doing?

Its amazing how much more energy you get from not eating junk food. I never realised how sluggish I used to feel. You're defo going in the right direction, it took a while for me to realise my weight lost, looking at older pictures always seems to help to see how far you have come.

Had a terrible week diet wise, somehow managed to stay the same though. Lucky. Brilliant once again, you are really flying. Hope its another good number today 1/4lb is nothing, so well done. On my scales that wouldn't have even registered haha Wow 12lbs in a week thats an amazing number...

Had a terrible week but somehow just managed to stay the same. 12 and half stone you are in my sights next week though :p

'Gonna aim for a perfect week this week' Ppff I couldn't have been further away from that, ate more then I was at my top weight. Probs put those 2lbs plus more on from last week, tried to make up for it the past day and a bit, but only would have been damage limitation if anything. Annoyed with...

-2lb down this week so happy with that

Those bad days obviously got outweighed by the good days, lost -2lbs this week. Gonna aim for a perfect week this week, so the 2lb loss hopefully won't feel like such a challenge. You never know though the body works in weird ways. 4lbs away from my target with 4 weigh-ins to go. Hopefully I...

Thats brilliant, your stats are an inspiration :) Brilliant going. Keep it up :) Not had the best of weeks this week, so not confident for tomorrow. But only had two really bad days :p

It depends if I have had a good week or not. If I ain't had a good week I don't look forward to it but I know that after the weigh-in thats the start of a new week where I can fully go for it lol

Was so nice, got a big piece from Morrison's for £1.50. They are quite good for their fresh fish, fell in love with baking fresh sardines too, plus they are so cheap.

Looks lovely Nessa. I should take more pictures of my meals, I only seem to take pictures of the unhealthy ones :p Had mackerel for tea today was delicious

Its a brilliant way to think, try and not look back :D Not had a brilliant week, went out on Saturday night, had fried chicken and chips and yesterday went to Morrisons and bought a full cooked chicken and ate it ALL with four bread buns. Eeek I did have two assignments to hand-in yesterday...

Thanks guys :) I can remember when I was 13.12/13, I decided that I am never going to see the 14 stones again and I moved right away from them and never looked back. Decided I won't be seeing the 13 stones again now, they are in the past, gonna be comfortable and happy about being in the 12s...

rr no Nessa, least its only a 1lb gain can easily rectify that in a week :). 22lb in 12 weeks is well managable. You can do it :) xx

I ended up buying pickled onions too today :D. Nice thing to snack on and not worry about the calories

Flatmate got a new battery for the scales, -2lbs down this week :D

My flatmate bought a new battery for the scales. -2lbs lost this week :D

My scales are in the need of a new battery so this has pushed my weigh-in day back to Friday for this week lol

Thank you :D. It felt weird wearing jeans for the first time in about a year, but felt like an accomplishment. Yeah your totally right, can't go back and change things. Quite glad my scales are broke, gives my body time to get back to normal before Friday and get rid of the water all the salty...

Money problems sorted. Apparently a data error, it did stop me going out with my friends last night though :@ Now onto two 3000 word assignments both due on Monday....which I ain't started. Last minute should be my middle name

Nightmare day yesterday. Got so stressed over the amount of uni work I have and then I had money deposited in my bank then for the bank to 'correct' this for some unknown reason and take it back out. Can't get in touch with them due to not having money on my phone with their 25p a min call...

Does anyone drink much of this whilst dieting? I had never tried it before July and now during a long day at home doing assignments I could easily polish off 10 cups. Read so many health benefits for it, whether it actually helps towards weight loss is debatable though. One thing I have...

Just had baked haddock cover in lots of garlic for tea, was lovely but think I over cooked it a bit. Stuffed now lol

Food sounds nice, ain't had peanut butter on toast in agessss. Love it though, another thing added to my shopping list lol

Going to sound like a women here, but just tried on jeans which wouldn't even fasten in the summer and now they fit comfortable. Well happy

Thank you :D haha yeah 2lbs a week sounds so simple in theory doesn't it, never that simple, really I just need to stay focused from now till July can't afford any more 5/7 weeks off. I totally agree with you, one of my favourite sayings is 'that everything happens for a reason' :) Few more...

Hows your weekend been Nessa? Enjoyed being back on WW?

Every little adds up, well done :)

What are the shakes you have? I just drink silly amounts of green tea in the evening/night now to stop my stomach fooling me that I am hungry :D

When you get home throw the pizza straight in the bin, then you can't deliberate over it :p I know how you feel with the amount of work, I have two 3000 word assignments and a presentation all to do in the next 8 days and I have done zilch. I can't wait until May, 21 years of education over...

Just watched the documentary about Weight Watchers. In a way it felt like some assignments I have wrote where I am trying to find little bits of evidence to back up what I am saying, but it didn't come across too well. I can understand totally why people do it. But for 20 odd pound a month I...

Thought I would compare a few pictures from When I was at my heaviest, just below 15 stone at the start of July I think these were taken Then now at 13 stone, so two stone gone. I was looking for recent photos from nights-out but I seem to avoid the camera when out these days :p. Only recent...

Just had Fresh baked Sardines for my tea. So nice and cheap too, need to have them more often

mmm I love pickled onions, need to put them on my shopping list :D

mmm that looks so nice. I need to make something simple but nice like that. Trying to avoid any frying though, maybe something similar would work in a casserole dish? I totally think WW is the best for you Nessa. You are still getting the snacks you enjoy and when your weight gets lower all you...

Hey Ryan you've not been around for a few months? How you getting on?

Where you gone to? :) Hope you have disappeared because you reached your target, you looks brilliant in your last set of pics

My friend was tempting me before but I didn't give in :p. I am in bed listening to some music, my flatmate has gone home for the weekend, so going to have a nice quiet weekend doing assignments, think I am getting old as I am looking forward to a quiet weekend lol

Hey just read through your diary and thought I would come along and subscribe. Good to see you have got the motivation back, once you get going you will steam along no problem. Your sausage pasta sounded so nice, I need to try that one myself one time :D. The Cambridge diet seems successful...

Hey just seen your posts in another thread so thought I would come and follow your thread. You done amazing in Jan and Feb is still young, you can get just as good of a loss this month :). Nice to see you are not letting the odd weekly slip up put you off. I have slipped up twice (both times...

You are doing really well, nearly a stone in a month is amazing for anyone. Keep it up, here to follow :)

Hi, you seem to be doing really well. Your well ahead of me in terms of your weight but we have the same end target and end date. Your doing so well so far keep it up :)

What I want from this: So when I was walking to Morrison's I was thinking about what I want from this weight loss :D. Easy enough to say, but I will be much happier when I get to my end target. I don't think you realise how unhappy you were at your highest weight until you lose some of it. So...

Just done my weekly shop bought quite a lot of fresh fish :). Having Cod and oven chips for my tea, like a healthier version of the delicious fried stuff. Also found out salad cream is not really that unhealthy, the normal salad cream had less calories and fat in then the light mayo had. When I...

You've been all over this year :p. Lets hope you can settle in this new home lol

I think I am...atm but it can spiral all out of control so fast lol Oh really, is SW not working for you? Best to go with the one you are more comfortable with, was it WW you lost weight on before xmas?

Not finding it a struggle getting back onto plan today :). I think if I do have treats its best to avoid takeaways, not just cos they are probably more unhealthy but I always have leftovers which tempt me the next day. This is my first day off in what seems like forever, but I feel I need to...

Oh thats not bad at all if you were expecting a gain :D Wow thats brilliant :)

Presentation went better then expected, what a relief. I did end up getting a pint afterwards tho :/ and ended up getting chicken wings and southern fried chicken from Morrison's on the way back. I've not ate today though and have seemed to spent most of the day walking....so those are my...

We all have those weeks Nessa, the new week has already started for you. that 2lbs will be gone this time next week :)

I think you will have another loss this week, I can just sense it :p. All the best for the weigh in

Thanks :D. Yeah it has really got me going, hopefully I can smash it :D Just worked out if I lose 2lbs a week until July 19th (a year since starting this). I would have easily got down to 10st, easier said then done though. Will be happy once I get down to 11.7st though, targets are seeming...

Well I was 13.1 just before xmas and then weighed myself on Thursday after a binge the previous day and was 13.6. That got me going again, think all the salty foods must have been holding some water. But still to get rid of all my extended xmas weight plus -1lb feels amazing. Good luck to you...

-6 down :eek:. Some of this will be water weight after 5 weeks of eating crap but still can feel a difference so some fat has gone :p Means I am just -8 away from my mini target which is in 6 weeks, 2lb away from two stone lost and 1lb away from getting into the 12's...exciting

Massive success. -6 down :eek: granted some of this will be water weight after 5 weeks of eating all crap known to man but still over the moon, 1lb lower then I was before xmas. Just -2lb away from losing two stone and -1lb away from being in the 12s. What a big week this could be

If you decide to calorie count and have a smartphone download myfitnesspal. Amazing app. that has really helped me

Thank you, hopefully it will be a good day all around :)

Bigggg presentation to do tomorrow, hopefully will go well. I don't think I have ever had a week where I have been this commited, not even a small slip up Before that though it is weigh day, I have lost I am sure. How much though is something that will be found out tomorrow. Hoping I am down to...

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, it will be a loss I am sure but how much I do not know

I'm looking forward to Thursday. Hope to be near to where I was just before xmas 13st 1lb. My aim is to be at 13st 2lb though, then I can aim to be in the 12s next week. Now that would get me excited and really motivated. I feel better already this week, my flabby parts don't seem as flabby as...

All going well today. Have a torrid next two weeks at uni coming up, 2 presentations and 2 reports to be done :( Spent 10 til 9 in there today finishing a group assignment, what a faff on. Its not even with people I particularly like, actually 2 of them I hate. Either way I am moving back home...

I am finally getting back on track. Xmas period lasted 5 weeks, but finally getting moving again. Aiming to lose a stone in the next 7 weeks which should be manageable. I have had a sore throat all day, really annoying me lol

I will make sure I am there then :p

Yeah fingers crossed. I can't even remember the last time I was in the 12's. I would say about 2 and half years ago. If I am not there by the end of this month then something has seriously went wrong :p

Well done you are doing well, sometimes a 1lb gain can be good to spur you on. If you put your mind to it I am sure you can get 5lb gone in 2 weeks :)

mmm pasta looks lovely

Wonder where 'WannaBe14Stone' and 'Serha' have went, they were here regularly before xmas. Come back guys, I am the one who disappears not yous :p

Thank you :) Hoping to be down to 13.4 or even 13.3 this week. That would prove to be a very succesful week. Just had boiled egg and oven chips for my tea, basically gonna be similar meals for the next 3 weeks. Need to literally count the pennies until 27th. Guess thats all good for my diet...

Jumped on the scales this morning after a day of no salty foods and a day of healthy eating and I was 13st 3lbs. My body just seems to be adjusting to the water it has been holding, but I will stick with 13st 6lb for this week, let my body adjust then see what I am down to on Thursday. Woke up...

New month, New start, New diary :) http://www.minimins.com/weight-loss-diary/307284-2013-year-continuing-loss.html

My previous thread http://www.minimins.com/weight-loss-diary/286440-159-days-ended-journey-goes.html Thought it was just the right time to start a new diary. Started off weighing 14st 12lbs on July 19th. If you read my previous thread I have been through ups and downs since then but got to...

Wow 9lbs thats amazing, well done

Living on a total budget for the next four weeks. So gonna plan what I am eating this week and do my weekly shopping tomorrow. So desperately want to get going again, its never to late to stop the rot :)

Didn't get back on it this week either :/. Can't keep using the excuse of stress of uni work as its gonna be another stressful few months and I can't afford 8 weeks off or I will be looking at 14 stone again. Weighed in and was 13st 6lb this morning :/ Guess my scales were playing up last week...

Heyy I have a feeling this one is really going to work for you. Your food looks nice and healthy too. The year is still very young, we can make this a good year :) x

Hi everyone, finally getting back on it after 5 weeks off over xmas oops :p. But weighed myself this morning, as I had a big uni presentation yesterday and was stressed enough. Good news thought my scales are only showing a +1 gain. Not bad considering I have not been on track for a full 5...

Hey I was just about to pop on here and catch up with everyone. Ooo that sounds exciting, sometimes you need a change up to get yourself going again don't you. Well my 'Xmas break' from this healthy eating spread across 5 weeks eek. So just weighed myself and somehow and I do not know how I...

Just popping in to see how your doing on your new diary :) Glad to see your back on this, this time next year think how different things could be and your certainly on the right tracks :)

Thank you guys :) Not Weighed in a while. Went crazy over xmas and then caught the Norovirus, which was meant to last 48 hours but stuck with me for a whole week. So god knows what I currently weigh. But back to full healthy now, so will be back a normal Weigh in next week. Then can set some...

Not Weighed in a while. Went crazy over xmas and then caught the Norovirus, which was meant to last 48 hours but stuck with me for a whole week. So god knows what I currently weigh. But back to full healthy now, so will be back a normal Weigh in next week. Then set some bold aims :D

Well new title of my diary. Been totally off the diet the past 2 weeks, will probably weigh-in on Thursday or maybe the following Thursday....see what the damage is then get back on the journey :)

Hope all my Thursday'ers had a good xmas :) Not sure if I am going to weigh-in this week, esp if I end up going out tomorrow. Good luck for anyone sticking to it this week though :)

Wow brilliant loss, nice early xmas present :) woo well done you are doing so well. Hope your backs feeling better, have you broke up for xmas now? I am working xmas eve and boxing day this year...weird people wanting kfc on those days :S I am regretting my treat takeaway now, feel sick and...

Another -2lb gone :)

-2lb gone this week, now just 1lb away from my mini target of 13st

Good luck :D After how well I have ate and how much I have been on my feet the past 3 days (just finished a 9 hour shift ) I will be so disappointed if I don't see a loss now (after expecting a small gain at the start of the week). My work pants are far too big for me now (these are the pants...

Thank you :D I am feeling a bit more confident about tomorrow, 16 hours on my feet at work in the past two days my pants actually feel more baggy. Another 8 hours tonight before my weigh in tomorrow morning :D

Going alright this week. My birthday weekend did last from Thursday night till Sunday though, even though its not my actual birthday until 1 hours time. So all considering this week I think a small 1lb gain might be on the cards, but will see come Thursday as I have thought this before :p...

Hey good luck, you have done brilliantly so far. Here to follow your journey :)

delete

I'm sure this week is gonna be my first gain since my re-start. Should only really be pound at the most though, my weekend stretched from Thursday till Sunday night this week ;). I still didn't go crazy though. My aim over xmas and whilst I am home (which takes me to the 10th Jan W/I) is to...

Brilliant, you're doing really well. Lovely when you hit that stone and half mark, then before you know it you are looking at the 2 stone :D As always you're doing brilliant :) Wow a lot of hard work must have went in to get to you're goal. Like how it took exactly a year as well, nice to...

-2 down :D Out of the 30+ bmi

OMG -2 loss. I actually reached my bmi below 30, no longer a statistic in those obese figures. Soooo happy :D Now have 30 mins to get ready and pack then get the train and go home for Christmas :D

Ahhh my bag is so full, need to squeeze those scales in there though. Ones at home are rubbish and don't think I could go 3 and half weeks without an indication of how i'm doing :p

Fingers crossed to be a -1 down tomorrow. Worse case scenario though will be a STS

Hoping to get a -1 loss this week, could be STS though. Happy still though, even though I won't have reached my target for my birthday I wasn't far off was I :) Back home for Xmas on Thursday. -1lb loss a week over this period will be a success, but I am not holding out for this might be a few...

Me too, early on I would be so disappointed with 1lb loss. But the longer I do this the more grateful I am for every loss. As long as it keeps coming off.

Woo well done :D you're doing really well. Yeah ofc thats fine, think over xmas my days won't stick to Thursdays as nights out on a wednesday or massive meals will impact on my Thursday weight :p

Wow brilliant you have been so consistent through out your journey :D Thank you I was very chuffed, maybe too chuffed went out got too drunk, had Indian take-away. Silly boy :p But had a detox day today, mainly because I have been doing an assignment due in tomorrow all day ahhh lol. Back on...

I always end up managing to squeeze a night out and a takeaway in my life on a weekend somehow :(. Next weekend won't be no different as its my bday night out....damage limitation until then. I'm used to this so no biggy haha

Resisted going out tonight :D. Maining due to heavy rain outside, but still was resistance so no alcohol calories this week

Thats a good sign if you were STS, might be a loss come tomorrow. I always try and be really good on a Wednesday so I don't have any thing heavy sitting on my stomach. If I eat lots of carbs in a day it really shows on the scales for the next few days lol

Having a massive potion of wedges, eggs on toast and a bowl of prawns to celebrate how well I have done...much better then a takeaway celebration haha

Thank you I am so pleased with it, just the boost I needed. Don't plan to have a messed up weekend this week either so hopefully be looking at something similar next week :D

Sooooo 5lbs away from my target. With the target date next week this won't happen, but will give it a good shot to get as close as possible to it 16lbs gone since my restart in week 13 :) 1lb away from my bmi being 30 exactly. 2lb away from being out of the 30+ (obese) category :D...

Wow finally I am in good numbers territory. -3lbs down :D 5lbs away from my target. With the target date next week this won't happen, but will give it a good shot to get as close as possible to it 16lbs gone since my restart in week 13 1lb away from my bmi being 30 exactly. 2lb away...

Hey yeah I got a new battery for them :D I am doing brilliantly, had a little slip up at the weekend (as usual ;) ) but just got weighed and I am down -3lbs. Sooooo happy this is my biggest result in long time

Hmm thats strange. Did you weigh yourself in the same clothing? Did you drink much before you weighed in yesterday? Its near enough impossible to put 3lbs of fat on overnight so thats not a worry :p I always stick to weighing myself in the morning time, straight after I have been to the toilet...

Hey welcome always nice to have another face :) I tried WW for a while and did the same as you to save money and I have been successful so far. I know its so cliche but thats the hardest part of the battle sticking to it. Looking forward to seeing your progress over the coming months :)

Yeah so close, yet feels so far :p. I will get there at some point, lets hope thats in 8 days time :D Hoping for 2lbs tomorrow, apart from the weekend I have been brilliant with my diet :p

Looking unlikely I will be down to 13st for my birthday but if I lose a few pounds will be more then happy. My main aim is to get out of the 30+ bmi by then, no longer be a statistic in those obese figures I keep seeing for country :p

Now have broken scales. They keep flashing on but never long enough for me to see, think I need a new battery for them

Broken scales. Think they might be in shock after my weekend lol. So might have to miss the next few weigh-ins until I go home

We all have slip ups, I had the exact same slip up and gained 7lbs too. But its just getting going again, look at your past achievements and I am sure it will give you some motivation to get back on the wagon :)

Yeah thats true, when you think of it it shouldn't be too different to any other time of year. I'm in one of them moods where I really want to change. Would love a tan and do something crazy like a shoulder tattoo going on to my chest. Would never dream of getting a tattoo atm though, fat and...

For diet reasons I wish Xmas wasn't coming up. I really can't be arsed with another hurdle or a period of gain but 1) Always more difficult dieting back home 2) Dieting over xmas won't be easy. The good thing is that I am not a big fan of chocolate so that won't be a problem for me. Bloody...

Considering the stage your at 1 pound is good. So much harder to lose it when your closer to your target. A loss is a loss though :)

13 days until I go home for xmas and very little money means my diet is going to mainly consist of wedges and eggs for the next 13 days. No nights out, no takeaways. Lets see if this shows in the numbers the next two Thursdays :p

Woo well done. We're all going in the right direction :D

You've started well :D. Reading your first few posts we started off roughly the same weight and I can totally understand your takeaway problems. I was having about 5 a week as well the past few years. Now they are just a treat rather than a major part of my intake. Just never lose focus too...

Just 1lb gone this week, frustrated with myself. Need to show commitment for the full week, hopefully I will this week and see the first big loss for the first time in 6 weeks. All adds up though just going slowly. 8lbs away from my target and just 2 more W/I's to go. Will be happy with...

Hey yeah I do most of the time. Really helps doesn't it. Good luck with your targets :)

Oh loss of 1lb, okay in the context of this week I guess. Still aiming for 3lb the next two weeks...my target looks out of reach though but 13st 2lbs by my birthday would still be good :)

Oh no hate when something like that happens, I often seem to stub my little toe on something in the middle of the night and want to scream the house down haha Thank you just about to get weighed now, really expecting STS though :/

Yeah anythings better then a gain ain't it, especially with xmas coming up I think I will end up putting a few pounds on over that period tbh lol mmm sounds lovely. God knows what I am going to have, money means I am on a forced diet the next two weeks anyways :D haha

Realised what I do. Gain from Friday til Monday then lose what I have gained from then till W/I day. Resulting in crap overall loses. Heading towards STS this week I think. With 70 quid to last me until the 14th December takeaways and nights out (often together) shouldn't prove a problem the...

Look so slim, can't wait to reach the point your at :p

Tomorrow won't be the best of days calorie wise, but I can't say no. A few of my friends are going to leeds tomorrow and just asked me, ofc the answer was yes. Food going well today though :)

:D well done thats brilliant. 15lbs in 7 weeks is brilliant, just over 2lbs a week :). Good speed I think, I would love a average of 2lb a week haha

Wow wow wow thats simply amazing well done :D Just 2.5lbs and your at 12 1/2 stone :) Out of the 30+ bmi now too

The first one was in July, was 14st 12lb then. The second one was today, closest I could get to a full length picture. No real difference but hopefully will be able to build up a collection over time :p

Oh I wish I had that problem, unless its been a very very heavy night before lots of food will be intaken :p

Thank you, same loss I am targeting next week, 3lbs. Will keep me on target. Plan on zooming through the 13 stones and start looking forward to the 12s. Feels so long ago since I was in the 12s.

Thank you :) Yes just need to keep my head down for this three weeks and not let nights out or takeaways beat me :p x

I'm back with more a more positive weigh-in, 2lb's lost :D If only I behaved like I did from Mondayall week or I would have been looking at a 3-4lb loss, but over the moon with 2lb. Ooo 13 and 1/2 stone would be lovely to say next week, excited for it.

Wooo -2lb gone this week :D 1st 3lbs all together, starting to really kiss goodbye to the 14s (thank god). Having brought my bmi down by nearly 3, I am in the final hurdle of the obese category...I won't miss it :p. Next week hopefully I can totally forget about the nightmare 14s and if anyone...

Least it ain't a gain :D I have had a horrible day, but have walked about 5.5 miles. Final push for tomorrow. Full week of healthiness coming up though

What a horrible day. Been up for uni since 7.30 after getting sleep about 4. Walked there and it poured down with rain, walked back too though so about 5.5 miles walked today just what I needed before the weigh-in tomorrow. :p But blurgh, cold,wet,tired and to top it off the boy who I liked...

Yeah defiantly, when I think about it I have had a break the past three weeks. Not been serious about it, luckily a few pounds went though. As long as you can maintain you can pick up where you left off :)

Gonna try and push myself today to get that extra pound off for the weigh in tomorrow. You just know the scales will change on Friday instead though :p

Ahhh not all for waking up when its still dark, whats going on with that. Drank too much green tea yesterday too and couldn't sleep with the caffeine, no more green tea after 7 for me haha. Already dreaming about my bed tonight, i'm such an old man lol. Quick shower and bite to eat and then...

Yeah that will really help, if you have an iphone get myfitnesspal its amazing. Sure you will get to where you want

Aww bless her. Thanks for keeping us informed :) Will look out for her return

Don't be silly. You will go through good periods and bad periods, just look at me haha. But its a journey where you have done amazingly already, remember your in the normal weight range now those last few pounds you want gone are always going to be the hardest. But thats what it is now, just a...

Hows this week going Nessa?

Thanks I am back on it properly, determined to get this 11lb off by my birthday :) How you doing?

Thank you,have you started your own diary?
