    Describing yourself as disgusting...

    Ahh I did misunderstand - sorry guys! Completely agree, as long as its worked into your plan then no problem :)

    Describing yourself as disgusting...

    Totally with you on the whole treat thing - if I thought I'd have to cut out every treat then I'd have stopped before I started. I suppose it's what works for different people, some lose better on a stricter food plan while others need a treat :)

    I need help!

    Hey Kerrygold! I've got about the same, maybe a bit more, to lose (depending on how I feel when I get closer to my target!) I've done the same, WW and SW, but tailed off from it. I'm calorie counting at the minute and finding that is working for me so far. If you need a buddy then I'm happy to...

    Starting Over. . . .

    That's the hardest part, when you get negative comments when you're trying to change your eating habits, but just think, we're making our lives better one pound at a time :) just feel good that you've got the courage to admit you've had a blip but ready to dust yourself off and get back to it :)

    What is the worst film you've ever seen?

    I went to see that Movie 43 when it came out - my friends and I couldn't decide on a film so settled for one we all didn't mind. I really wish I insisted on seeing Django Unchained instead. It was a mashup of several different stories, and had some brilliant actors and actresses in it - Kate...

    Pet Insurance

    I insure my cat with Petplan - they cover for life, and settle directly with the vet. Had Big Dave (my cat) in with a urinary blockage and they provided the costs with no hassle.

    What a cutie! Cats always do have the tendency to find the most awkward place to sleep, my cat loves to lounge on my windowsill and use his tail to knock everything flying. How old is he?

    looking for CC friends but...

    Was doing it for about a month and lost half a stone which I was really happy with, then had a few occasions - birthdays, celebration BBQs, etc, so I fell off the wagon and have only just managed to claw myself back on. Definitely with you on the flexibility thing - although I loved SW as I...

    looking for CC friends but...

    I'm an ex-SW but tried WW way back in the past. Decided CC is the way to go - all the synning for a chocolate bar was doing my head in :/ Glad to see there are people on this forum, it did seem quiet when I first came on! :)

    Brilliant :) best days are those when you're busy I find :) same, busy day with no slip ups, though feeling a bit grumpy (have a feeling it may have something to do with the essay I'm writing rather than the healthy eating!). Also did brisk walks to bus stop and back which is an achievement as I...

    Don't you just hate it when....

    I'm rather unhappy about it, esp as there's not anything SW-friendly made up either. Still, suppose its a compliment that "diet" food is worth stealing?!

    DYJHIW you've been out of the house since 7, have only had an apple and are looking forward to the leftover meatballs and sauce from the night before when you get in...and someone's eaten them! Grr.

Well done for how much you guys...

    63stone teen cut from house, stranded in bed

    Poor girl :( I know the blame is being tossed around, but I think it cant be solely put on one individual.

    Why do I do this - self sabotage

    anyone else got a rubbish/indifferent consultant?

    Glad to see it wasn't just my consultant who wasn't a huge help when I attended the meets! My consultant had obvious favourites, and a few of us felt ignored or as if we weren't good enough for her. She was also kind of patronising and would be quite dismissive of quite a big weight loss from...

Regarding the fruit/sweet foods, I find that things like grapes, which are free (i think they're superfree...) are good to have around because they're sweet and...

    Anyone Not Eat Bread?

    Why do I do this - self sabotage

    I used to do this all the time, weigh in then fall off the wagon :/ I've just started my new diet (SW) and have told myself not to even think about weighing myself until after a week, just so I don't discourage myself haha. Hope you feel more positive about it soon! :)

    Top tips on tackling takeaway weekend?!

    You could always make up a takeaway style dinner, there's loads of curries you can make with SW recipes and with boiled rice, it'd only be a few Syns :)
