I've had a love affair with bikes for years, used to ride a 125 but then liked the comfort of the car and that was the end of that. DH rides (when the weather is good) a Triumph Daytona 675 - it doesn't come out the garage much though!

I have gone from one extreme to the other. My old car was a Mercedes SLK 230 Kompressor - you could call it my mid-life crisis vehicle. For the past five months I've had a new Fiat 500 1.4 sports. We happened to be in Italy when it was released last year and it was love at first sight, so...

Hi Kazzy & Abz. Good to see you both. I'm just back from Manchester. So diet starts tomorrow! Yeah I know, sounds familiar - but I mean it!

Hi Abz - sorry for the absence. You are doing fantastically well. DH is starting hi pre-Australia regime on Monday (he goes for a month in Jan), so I am going to join the routine too, before too much damage is done.

Aislinn - sounds like you've had a good time at the show. I know exactly how it is - so much temptation is so hard to resist - a bit like chocolate!:) I sorted out a lot of my personal stash a couple of months back. Although a lot of it has been re-homed, there is still a lot more that needs...

Abz - glad to hear the weight is starting to move. Hope you're feeling a bit brighter. You could well be right about the weather and your mood!

I have lost the plot at the mo, although I do intend to get back into it asap. I am finding it difficult to be motivated, even though I try to imagine where and how I want to be etc:(

We're certainly not finding this easy going are we! Never mind, I guess we just need to tackle it head on.

Well Abz it looks like you and I are in a similar position again:( But the good thing is that we can change our weight destiny - we'll get there together.

Some of those SU stamps are fantastic. I've just had a quick look at your blog, the cards you preview look great (I recognise a couple of the stamps as SU), I'm sure you'd do well if you go the SU route.

Confession time: I have not been near my Wii Fit for about a month. So tonight I am getting back onto it and getting back on track with the diet too.

Hi Kazzy - well done on your loss. I lost my way for a couple of weeks, but have decided today I am going to get back into it before any real damage is done. I've decided to set myself a mini target of 6 weeks to have lost another stone, which should be achievable - I hope.

I have lost the diet plot at the moment:( I'm full of good intentions and then I lose my way. I can feel myself slipping into my old eating habits so I need to knock it on the head before damage is done, so I plan to get back into it ....starting today...I've only just decided upon this while...

Abz - no, I'm still not back on track yet, although I'm not actively dieting I am being careful with my intake so there hasn't been any increase which is something. Enjoy the rest of your trip. At the end of the day, it is a holiday so enjoy yourself and get to grips when you get home.

I am suffering from lack of BB too:(

Have a good time Abz

2lbs off for me this time:)

Confession time ~ my diet is awol, but I am being positive about this and am fully back in control again, having had a weekend away. Abz - how are you doing?

I have my fingers crossed for you:)

Hi Abz - sorry for leaving you. It's been a pretty hectic week. No dieting but no binges either so I have stayed the same. I seem to be evaluating my food requirements more than I used to so hopefully I have learnt something. How are you coping?

Glad you can make some use of them:)

I missed it:(

I would like Kat or Rachel to win. Both Darnell and Mikey make me feel a little uncomfortable. What channel is the proposal on? C4 or E4?

Sounds like you are really determined. Good luck, I'm sure you can do it:)

Abz - I'll have my fingers crossed for you.

Funny how we're both struggling to hit the 2 stone mark!

Abz - I did wonder if it were lack of calories/food that was making your loss slower than expected. At least you're trying an alternative. Fingers crossed for a good loss next time. Well I have chickened out of weighing this week. Earlier in the week I had dropped 1lb, but since then I've...

How disgusting was that game they played last night. How desperate was Mo to even consider doing it for a can of cider, let alone actually eating it. I was feeling very, very uncomfortable when they showed that!

Rich - well done on resisting the temptation of roast dinner and also the other changes you've made:)

Click on this link - it shows a map of Britain, then you click on the area of interest to highlight shops in the area. (Some are B&M and some are on-line)

Well done Abz - I've noticed your ticker has moved:)

Hi Rich. Welcome to the forum:) I'm doing my own diet, very loosely based on an old weight-watchers plan - so going it alone can work, but it can sometimes be hard going without the support of a group which is where this forum comes into its own! Can I make a suggestion which may help you...

Abz - how did you manage while you were with your friends?

Emerald - glad you got one. You'll find you get better at it the more you practice. Some will suit you better than others. I'm pants at the tight-rope walking, hulla and the ski jumping, but great at the footie heading and the down-hill ski slalom and the balance tables that look like a...

I guess you're right:) I feel I'm not totally into it at the mo and could easily slip if I don't turn the mood around. Good luck for your weigh-in:)

Aislinn - deep joy indeed. There is nothing quite like seeing the stash in the flesh:)

Yey - Stu has gone:) I'll miss his fit bod though!

Thanks:)

I'd love to see Rex go next week too!

I'm getting like that too. Hope something will come along soon.

Wheels - it's good to set your self mini goals. We'll help you reach your target.

Aislinn - Well I love it, but it is a lot of work as I work in the day time too. All in all it doesn't leave a lot of time for crafting:( I know what you mean about having a stroke of the paper. I think a lot of crafters do it without realising. What type of workshops does your local shop...

I'm not compelled to pick up the phone to vote for either Rachel or Stu. How I wish it were one of the others.

Emerald be warned - there is one down side of the Wii Fit i'm afraid..... and that is you'll find less time for other things because you want to keep bettering your scores! It is so very addictive.

LOL - listening to your knicker problems:) Hello Loveydove. Welcome to the forum. I'm going it alone too, and you'll find lots of others here in similar situations, so you certainly won't be alone. Well done on your weight reduction to date that's a fantastic start.

I lost 1lb this week. I've been very good so was hoping it would be a larger loss, but at least it is in the right direction. This takes my loss to 25lbs in ten weeks of dieting. I decided to measure myself today for the first time since starting the diet and I have lost a whopping four...

I have lost 1lb this week:)

Weigh-in day - End of Week 10 I have lost 1lb this week. I feel it should be more as I've been good, however I did lose 6lbs last week so I guess it all evens out. The loss this week, takes my total to 25lbs in ten weeks of dieting. I have moved from a size 24 to a size 20 and reduced my...

My kids are grown up now, so it isn't too much of a problem these days. However, I used to craft in the evenings once they had gone to bed. I would suggest Artbin Super Satchels (the deep ones). They can hold 12x12 papers. You can get them with section/dividers too. I don't sell them, but I...

Hi Aislinn - glad you've discovered the wonders of papercrafting. It's become so addictive for me that over two years ago I started my own on-line business selling supplies for scrapbooking and card making. For the past 18 months I have held a monthly craft club where like minded people come...

Hello ladies. I've been sorting out a few more items which are no use to me now - all between size 20 & 22. Free to a good home - postage refunded please. You'll find the goodies here

Abz - I scale hopped again this morning and I've dropped a pound so hope I can retain the loss for tomorrow. Enjoy yourself.

Hi, welcome to the forum. Good luck with those 17lbs. I'm sure you'll be able to do it with CD.

I scrapbook make cards & ATCs. It's pretty addictive too:) Here are some of my pages.

I'd love BB to throw a spanner in the works by adding a couple of other house-mates (REX) up for eviction this week. Well I can dream...

Karen - I'm pretty good at the dieting theory, and actually reducing the weight. My problem is I have always considered it a short term fix, instead of thinking that it is a life-style change. I seem to be looking at it a bit different this time, which in turn is making me feel more positive...

Welcome back:) I'm sure you'll soon be reducing your weight.

I guess the simple solution is don't use yourself as a bin for your kids left-overs and put them in the bin asap. Could you perhaps have a few treats reserved for yourself, so when your partner has something you can have a legal treat? I think forward planning the shopping is a brilliant...

Hi Abz. No plans for Saturday other than catching up with housework! Sunday is my craft club day, so I'll be brain dead by the time I get home. I hopped on the scales this morning, there is still no movement, even though I've been really good. Fingers crossed it will show on Friday...

Ditto from me too. Very disappointed with those up this week:( I have not got a clue which one will go.

Hi Karen, nice to meet a fellow WEMITT. So how are you coping with SW? I'm doing my own thing, roughly based on a very old version of WW.

I totally agree. If they have been in a relationship for a year then how come she hasn't noticed he has an "outie"? Or does she know it will wind him up and then watches him rant. It's all very strange!

:( oh, plodding is not good, is there anybody on here that you can ask?

Abz - perhaps that is the problem, that you're not actually taking enough calories in? I don't know that I mentioned. I had a new car on Friday. A new Fiat 500 1.4 sport. I've called her Chaz as she is in a Cha Cha Azure colour.

Week 10 - Day 5 (Tuesday) I'm feeling positive about my achievement and my future weight reduction. I hopped on the scales this morning - the weight hasn't changed, but it doesn't bother me as I know if I continue to do what I've done so far it will fall off! Yesterday was really hectic as...

Mike - you are a star. I have just read your first three emails and subscribed to the future ones too. It's as if you have opened my eyes. I'm not doing CD, but doing my own thing, so from now on it is positive thoughts all the way. Thanks so much and I look forward to the next installment:)

I wasn't aware of this, thanks. I'll go and have a look later:)

Sooh - congratulations on making the right decision for you. It's so easy to turn down these invites and miss out. At the end of the day, we all need to learn how to cope with these situations other-wise we will always return to our old eating habits.

I really felt for Rachael when Rex was having a go at her regarding the cake decision. I've become quite fond of her. The sound of Mikey drives me nuts, and why can't he use a spoon... Did you see him miss the cake when tipping the icing? Arghhhhh! Just get him out. (With you on the Steptoe...

My hubby is a shift worker and is dieting too. He does 8-2 mornings, 2-10 evenings and 10-8 nights. On nights he has a slice of toast before he goes to bed, then normal dinner when he gets up at about 5, then a micro meal or fruit and a cereal bar at about 3am. This seems to suit him.

Hi Abz - yes, I'm feeling better thanks:) Had a good day yesterday with lots of exercise and good eating so feel positive for the week. So how was the weekend with your folks? How did you cope with the food aspect? Manage to sneak in any shakes?

Hi Beckah, welcome to the forum. I'm in North Wales too:) There are loads of diets here, don't get bogged down with the idea that you have to go to class. I believe WW do a "at home" version. I'm doing my own thing, have a regular weigh-in on Friday and commit to updating my ticker and gain...

Hi - welcome to the forum:) Your post sounds how I felt when I first started my diet. You'll find loads of support here, so what have you got to loose other than weight! Good luck with your diet.

Hello EJC - welcome to the forum. I have no experience of Xenical but you'll find loads of support and inspiration to help you reach your target of being a yummy mummy:)

Hi Piglet. Well done on making your first post. Hope it will be the first of many. Good luck with your diet journey, I'm sure the support and inspiration you'll find here will help to keep you motivated.

I'd like to join too, if I may. I'd like to set myself a 2 stone (28lbs) target loss for christmas.

Makemethin - welcome to the forum. I see you managed the ticker. God luck with your diet journey:)

Week 10 - Day 2 Today I feel deflated. I don't know why I should feel like this, I just do. It's wet and very windy here today, so perhaps that is having an effect on me:( I can't seem to motivate myself to do anything. All I want to do is sleep, even though I had a good sleep last night -...

I've read this thread with interest. I know from past experience that I will have a saggy (saddle) tum. For me the priority is to shift weight but to restrict the saddle tum if possible. I moisturise regularly to attempt to retain the elasticity of my skin. Will it work? I don't know but...

Hi Lesserme. Welcome to the forum. Good luck with the diet:)

My vote is for Dale to go. That VT really showed him in possibly his true colours!:(

Have a great time Irene:)

Abz - hope the weekend with your folks go ok:) Catch you next week.

As predicted I passed the 21lb mark this week with a whopping 6lb loss. So my next mini target is 2 stone. I'd like to achieve it in the next fortnight, which should be possible if I can be good.

Hello Puffy:) Welcome to the forum. You'll find it provides amazing support and inspiration which will help you in your lower moments. Good luck with CD.

So what is your favourite on the Wii Fit? I love the stepping and the jogging, but I've become an expert at the footie heading & slalom, which I do as a warm up/cool down.

First Day of Week 10 - Weigh-in Day - Friday Well it was worth the effort. This week I have lost a massive 6lbs (now weighing 15:3), taking my total loss in nine weeks to 24lbs, so only another 4lbs to go to meet my next mini target, which should be achievable in the next fortnight. I am so...

I have two New Look stores near me. Both have the inspire sections one is more like a jumble sale, no structure and a tiny section. The other is well organised but has very little stock there:( I would definitely like to see a larger range available or the extension in sizes to their regular...

I'm pretty chuffed, as my Wii age seems to now be about 22-28, when I first started on the Wii I was 58. I'm actually 43. It's funny as the Wii keeps saying I'm in great shape for my age. Now how can that be when I'm morbidly obese? I wonder if it is more to do with us knowing what to expect...

Well I guess it has taken us a long time to cultivate this six stone we want to shift, so it's going to take a long time to loose it too!:(

Irene - it's in the right direction which helps. I think sometimes when we don't have the loss that we want in a week, we forget how well we have actually done.

Welcome to the forum:)

Love the idea of this thread - can I join in too:) I'm trying not to look at the big picture as it is just too scary. My weigh-in is tomorrow, I know I have passed the 21lb target, so I guess the next one is 2 stone. I'm not following a formal diet. I have enough dieting theory in my head to...

Krazykaz - that's a fantastic start. I've got a Wii Fit too and try to get on it every day for an hour or so. I'm not following a formal plan either but am happy with the results to date. Keep up the good work and I'm sure more weight will drop off in no time:)

Hi Zoe. Welcome to the forum. You've come to the right place for support and inspiration to help with your diet journey:)

I think the key is to always look at the positive side. That's why I refused to weigh myself last Friday as I knew I would be disappointed. It's all in the mind...

I also have over 6 stone to loose. I started at 16:13 I want to get to 10 stone. I've not set a time scale, but I am setting myself mini targets of half a stone. I don't like to look at the big picture, it is just too scary. I'm not following a formal diet plan, just doing my own thing, based...

OLS - yep I have a lot to loose too. I don't look at the big picture, and just take small steps at a time. I'm not doing a formal diet. I'm roughly following a very old WW plan which has worked for me in the past. After all dieters tend to know the theory of it all - the sticking to it is...

Yep, I love my Wii Fit too:) I try to go on it every day. I am pants at the hulla and the ski jump, but loving the stepping, jogging, football heading and slalom ski-ing. I didn't do any exercise previously. I think it's great that you can do all that in the privacy of your own home:)...

Abz - just noticed your ticker. So you went for the 2lb option?

I'd like Dale to go too. For me the three finalists should be Kat, Rachael & Stu - I'm not really bothered who wins of those three.

Hi Caws. Welcome to the forum, you'll find loads of support here to help. Good luck with your diet journey:) Dieting with friends is a good way of motivating you to stick to it.

Welcome to the forum, good luck with your diet:)

Abz - I only update my ticker on weigh-in day too. I find it easier to keep track that way.

Hi Kaitlyn Good luck with your diet. The forum is great for 24/7 inspiration, support and just being with others in a similar situation:)

I like Stu (especially when he's flashing that fabulous chest) - ooh - did I say that out loud!:)

Week 9, Day 5 (Tuesday Well I am suffering today from all the exercise I have done recently. :wow:I have discovered that I do actually have muscles in my stomach as they are aching big time! My legs are also aware that I have been exercising, so I guess that fact that I can feel a...

PM'd you:)

Abz - we must both like torturing ourselves!

Do you mean the one with the skinny straps? That one is available. (The white & black blouse has already been taken)

Was Nicole trying to be slow on the recital of the alphabet backwards - or is she a little dim! Strikes me as the latter, and also as a shallow whinger too!

Ha, so you're scale hopping too. I had to have a look this morning, and I'm down to 15.4 making a loss of 23lbs - hopefully I can maintain and shift a bit more by Friday. It makes the 2 stone mark seem not so far away.

Abz - I feel totally back on it again now, and it is a tremendous relief to be back in control. I felt it was becoming the usual roller-coaster ride of eat, eat, eat! Re keeping busy in the evenings. I have loads to do, cleaning, tidying and putting stock away, and placing more orders, so I'm...

Sorry no trousers to offer at the moment:( Anybody looking for clothes in a size 20 - 24? I've just uploaded these. Free to a good home, but I would like postage re-imbursed.

Kaz - don't be a stranger, hope all is well with your and yours.

I stick to my regular scales for weigh-in, and don't really take too much notice what the Wii Fit scales say. For example I had a 2+hour session on the Wii Fit today, resulting in the Wii saying I had lost 3lbs - where as my regular scale doesn't show a movement. Hope that helps.

I'm glad Luke went. I thought he gave a brilliant interview. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of him. I got the impression that Rex wasn't totally cool with her being there! It will be interesting to see if he changes having his GF with him.

Week 9 - Day 3 (Sunday) I have taken myself in hand and given myself a good talking to. This has resulted in two perfect diet days. Today I have complete 2+hours on the Wii Fit and walked the dog. The eating is good too, so I am hoping that I have turned a corner. I did hop on the...

Well my sister is coming over from Holland in a couple of weeks for my Mums birthday. So I would like to have passed the 1.5 stone mark for then, which should be achievable. I'm getting rid of my clothes that I have slimmed out of, so that I don't have the safety net of having them around. It...

It's so hard. I know exactly the day I became less motivated to diet. It was the day of Grans funeral and I had a couple of slices of cake and since then I've gone off the rails - it's like I am slipping out of control:(

Weigh-in Day - Start of Week 9 I'm being a chicken and not stepping on the scales this week. It has been another week of indulgences and I'm certain that I have gained so I'm going to attempt to get back into it this week. Abz - how are you doing?

Weigh in Day - Start of week 8 Due to the funeral etc I've not done any exercise this week, the eating has gone to pot and realistically I've not been trying. This has resulted in a "stay the same" week - on the positive it's not a gain. So, down to the coming week. I will exercise every...

Hi Wharfie:) Welcome to the forum. You'll find loads of support here which will help you with your diet journey:)

Yo-yo-dieter - try tracking them on this site. I made daily checks each morning and got mine very quickly. They're easier to buy if you purchase a bundle rather than just the Wii Fit.

No, surely it has to be Bex to go. She drives me nuts! Hopefully Pukey Lukey won't be far behind her either.

Silk Top I also have this silk top up for grabs. It's a New Look item - size 20. I like the top but hubby has taken a dislike to it:( So now to describe it... It's in a slate blue silk, with a scoop decorative neck and a cut out pattern both in the front and the back. In the front below...

I have this skirt - (never used), if anybody is interested. It's a size 22 (Matalan) - the actual waist measures 42". 100% cotton (lined in cotton too). It has a total approximate drop/length of 29" It's a drop waist style (the drop waist measures a depth of 4.5") and the length below the...

What's the matter with people. Obviously no morrals (spl?). Thanks for keeping us informed.

Thanks Abz. I really value your support. It's good to have somebody with a similar amount of weight to shift and starting at the same time too. We'll get there eventually - through fat and thin (hopefully):)

Hi Abz - I see you're weight is moving - well done. I'm really not looking forward to going on the scales in the morning. In the last 48 hours it's as if the eating flood-gates have been opened and I'm finding it so hard to get it back in control. It doesn't help that I'm due on - which I'm...

Thanks Kaz:)

Week 6 - update Well it's Monday again. It's been a bit of a topsy-turvey time with the funeral and visitors etc. I found myself eating cake - and several slices too:( Still, I have a few days till weigh-in and hope to have turned it around into a loss come Friday. Hope you're all...

I'm fine. Ate a few things I shouldn't have this weekend, but I'm feeling motivated for this week, so hopefully I'll get a weight loss on Friday.

Well there you go. You're doing what you can for the time being, and when the time is right for you, you'll be able to get back into it:)

Hi Nadine. Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your diet journey - you'll find all the support you need here to help you get to your target weight.

Thanks for your support Kazzy. I hope you find your way soon. How is OH doing?

Helen - welcome to the forum. It's a great place for support. Good luck with your CD journey:)

Hi Julie. Welcome to the forum, congratulations on the birth of your baby:) What type of diet will you be following? You'll find a whole lot of support here to help you get through those difficult times. Good luck with your diet journey.

I've not measured myself since I started dieting, but there is a definite difference. The cropped trousers I'm wearing today are very loose now, so I think it will be the last time I wear them

Very true. When is your next weigh-in?

Nabz - great to hear you're giving it another go:)

abz - I kind of know where you're coming from. I'm not on a specific diet - just doing my own thing, but I have these constant battles in my head about what I should and shouldn't be eating - it is totally consuming. Having said that when you step on the scales and see the loss it all seems...

Kazzy - hope your OH makes a good recovery. Look after yourself, sounds like your runnung yourself ragged with all your doing for the family.

Thanks for your kind thoughts. Gran would have been 97 today. She has been away with the fairies for some years as she had alzheimer's, so realistically we lost her a long time ago. How are you two doing with your diets?

Nabz - don't let one slip-up spoil the effort you have already made. It's a new day so a clean slate - keep going it will be worth it in the end:)

Kazzy - how are you doing? Managed to get back into it. Hope home life has settled a bit for you now.

Week 6 - Day 6 (Wednesday) Well I had a really productive weekend on diet and exercise. On Monday morning I had a call to say my Gran had died, so the exercise has gone out of the window, as I'm sorting the funeral details out, and I just don't seem to be able to fit exercise in at the mo...

Mikki - well done on your loss. Don't let a small upset spoil the good progress you've already made. Feeling positive about what you're doing is half the battle.

Kaz - sorry to hear you've lost the diet plot. Hope you can get back into it soon.

Abz - well done on missing out on the chinese. Glad you're back on it. Did the weekend go well? Mikki - I am on a mission this week to really get some weight shifted, (it would be so easy to slip back into my old eating habits). I seem to have hovered around the stone mark for too long...

Time Lady - Mac is sooo cute:)

Mario made a mistake this week of whinging about the other housemates and being nasty to Lisa when up for eviction resulting in him being voted out. I have to say, going on his performance this week he deserves to be out. Sounds like BB are going to stir things up this weekend with the...

Abz - yes, I had a good time. It was great to be away from the computer - I definitely spend too much time on it! Glad you lost the weight & inches. Are you now back on CD proper?

Oh no - sorry to hear that. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Kazzy - are you in a positive frame of diet mind now?

Weigh in day - Start of Week 6 Well I have been away on my hols this week, and have managed to maintain my weight loss without any gain, which I am happy about. The holiday (in the caravan) was a wash-out, with rain every day - we did have one fine afternoon. The weather limited us a little...

Hi Kizzy. Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you've had a difficult time of late. Glad you've turned the corner and are now on your way to a new slimmer life. Sam xx

Hi Mikki - how are you coping? Keep up with the dvd and I'm sure the pounds will drop off and you'll soon be the ticker girl. I'm off in the caravan tomorrow, so by the time I return next week you're ticker will have moved. Have a good week.

Never mind Kazzy - its a new week, so start it with a clean slate.

Kazzy - sorry to hear you've put on. Try and put it behind you. This week there's a clean slate.

Weigh-in Day - First day of Week 5 (Friday 04/07/2008) This past week I had lost my motivation. It was more like healthy eating rather than dieting, and I didn't Wii Fit for a few days either. In turn, the scales didn't move making me feel a bit fed-up. Anyway, on Wednesday I got back on...

Hello - I am feeling more positive today:) Did 2 hours of Wii Fit last night and that has really motivated me. I have the dentist this afternoon - having two fractured fillings replaced which I am really not looking forward to:(

Mikki - taking it steady is a great start, especially as you're starting to exercise too. Keep up the good work. I'll check back to see your progress - love the ticker.

I've not heard anything about a newbie. I would like it to be a beautiful girl that fancies Dale - just to annoy Jen (while she's still in the house)!

Thanks for the support. I know scale hopping is destructive, but it just happens - having said that I've not been on this morning so that is a plus. Abz -all good things come to those who wait. I can understand that you're disappointed, especially as it costs such a lot and is so different...

Well hopefully Jen will be out on Friday, (surely Rex won't go),swiftly followed by Becks, who is acting up this week

Week 4, Day 5 I am struggling:( For some reason I have urges to pick and it's like the self distruct button being pressed which I seem to have little control over. It's not even that I've been home alone ( which is the usual confort eat scenario) as hubby is here at the mo. I think part...

tell me about it. I've not fallen off, but I'm finding it an uphill struggle to stay on. Weakwilled - are your calves aching? I do a bit of step on th Wii Fit and mine ache big-time afterwards. I wouldn't worry too much about the scales not showing a move. They will in time.

Stay strong Abz, it will be worth it:)

Hello Goldenaky, welcome to the forum. Well done on shifting 40lbs, you'll find loads of support here which will help you with the remaining weight. Good luck with your diet journey:)

Hi Abz & Kazzy - Glad you both had a good weekend. Abz how did you manage with the hen night and the diet? Kazzy - are you back on track now?

Hello Redilocks. Welcome to the forum, you're right that it is a supportive community. Good luck with your diet journey:)

Hi - a big welcome from me too:)

Mixxi - welcome to the forum. Well done on your weight loss so far. Good luck with your diet journey:)

Kazzy - glad the party went well. Hope you recover soon:)

Weakwilled - I would have to say yes, regarding being heavy just before the TOTM. Glad you're sticking to it. Kazzy - how are you doing? Not sure about will-power in abundance - I am struggling tonight. I'm home alone this evening and the temptation to raid the cupboards is very strong, so I...

Hi Kazzy - how did the party go?

Congratulations on passing your driving test:)

Week 4, Day 3 - Sunday Yesterday was an odd day for me, very busy but just doing house things. I took Molly to the beach, but other than that and the cleaning didn't get any formal exercise. The diet is still going, with no slip-ups. Hopped on the scales this morning, and I've still not...

Kazzy - I'm in cleaning mode this afternoon, and boy does the house need it too. Thought I would take a breather with a coffee. Have a great party.

Hello Aimee. Welcome to the forum, you'll find loats of support and encouragement here:) Good luck with your diet.

I was out last night, to recorded the programme. I noticed that after the initial problem and the apology that it was actually Stu that started to raise his voice (in the bedroom) and then everybody else started shouting. It was as if his actions were the catalys for the others to start. I...

LOL - not sure about looking lovely but I had a good time. Was drinking diet coke all night. After the fourth I couldn't face any more! The buffet was cold meats, salmon, salad and new pots so I was good on the food count! Just been to the beach with Molly, so at least I've had some exercise.

Hello ladies - hope you both have a good weekend. I'm off to a wedding evening reception this evening. Be trying on clothes and nothing is right. What I had planned to wear hubby sort of pulled a face, so that has thrown me into a spin:eek:

Here's the link Well if he really did spit in Mo's face, he deserves to be removed. Jen showed her true colours by the hatred she shows in her face (in the clip).

I've not been for a couple of years, but on both occasions we have purchased the tickets at competitive prices once we were in Florida, without problems. Beware of the airline staff selling them on the actual plane, we noticed that the price they offered wasn't as good as the one we got when...

Squidgster - I've just noticed your ticker, you are doing fantastically well. Not too far to go now:)

Definitely. Support is what will get us through it:) (Call me Sam, Samantha is a bit formal).

tyn - try not to let it bother you too much. I know it's not easy, but just keep at it and you'll get the results you need - it is only one summer after all.

Hi Kazzy - how was your weigh-in this week?

What was Sylvia up to last night saying she wanted Dale? She is certainly good at playing mind games with the housemates. It's eviction night tonight - surely she has to go?

Thanks Abz - I was looking forward to being 15 something, never mind that will be next week instead.

Dave - that is fantastic. Well done you:) FFBB - out of the mouths of babes... how did MIL react when she heard that? Don't let hurtful comments get to you. Prove her wrong!

Weigh in day - Start of Week 4 I didn't quite hit my target of one stone lost in three weeks, but I did shift a further 2lbs, bringing my total loss to 13lbs. Kazzy - I didn't do any Wii last night as my legs were aching from the stepping done the night before. Maybe I should have! Abz -...

What did he say?

Alcohol has never really featured in our family.

Lager doesn't do it for me at all - how funny that we all have different vices.

I know that I am an addict when it comes to CDM, so I dare not even have any in the house. There is half a bottle of wine winking at me every time I open the fridge. I think I need to get hubby to drink it before I do, as I know I won't go to the effort of opening a new bottle.

Ha, definitely the case when it comes to Cadbury chocolate - all or nothing! I've not had "a fix" of CDM since I started the diet, I miss my chocolate.

Week 3, Day 7 - Thursday Can't wait to get this week weigh-in out of the way. It's been a long week. Don't get me wrong, I've not struggled with the diet or anything, it just seems to have been very slow. I took a sneak peek at the scales this morning, and it looks promising, not quite hit...

I find getting the head "in mode" is easier said than done. For me dieting is like a light switch either on or off, with no middle ground, and impossible to proceed without being in the right zone. I'll be glad to get weigh-in day out of the way tomorrow - it's been a long week.

Oh Kazzy - sorry you're on a downer. At least weigh-in is before the party, then after the party you can try to get back. We all have the "I feel fat & horrible" days - unfortunately there is nothing I can say to help you shake the mood, but it will pass. I normally put that mood down to...

kazzy - I am definitely an addict!

Hi Jo - you're right, this is a great site - encouraging, supportive and with the majority in the same boat know exactly where you are coming from. I have no experience of the diets you mentioned. I'm doing my own thing and have a similar amount of weight to move as you do. Good luck with...

Ha, good thing Glastonbury isn't in Anglesey, as it is chucking it down here:(

Week 3, Day 6 - Wednesday So it's the end of another day. As far as the diet is concerned it has been a good one. This past couple of evenings, I have had cravings for "something nice". It's not that I've been feeling hungry - just fancying something. To tame the feeling, I saved some...

I'm here too, although not for long...

Abz - did you have any more "accidents"?

Wow - congratulations. Truely inspirational:)

Thanks for sharing your story of how the forum came about. I've only been a member a short time, but I am full of optimism about my diet journey, and I'm sure I wouldn't feel the same if I were going solo. So thank you to all who administrate and moderate this great community. You're doing...

I'm not looking at the big picture - it's too scary. Will consider the question when I'm closer to where I want to be.

That is some achievement:)

I know for certain that I couldn't do diets like those either, although I'd love the instant weight loss they provide.

Karen - I agree she is beautiful. Shame she doesn't have a personality to match. I enjoyed BB last night when Stu was down to his undies. He has a fabulous body. Nice to have a bit of eye candy, as Mario & Dale don't do it for me.

Kazzy - it's going fine. I've realised that I need to have meals planned to ensure i don't go for the option of a take-away. Exercise is not very regular but I am doing some. I think my cold is finally on its way - thank goodness. I'm not sure if I'll be able to hit my target of a full...

Are you feeling any better? How are you feeling about weigh-in day on Friday?

Oh Abz - that's awful for you. How did you dry them? I'm sticking to it - weigh-in Friday so want to try to crack a stone this week.

I vote for Sylvia too. I'm really enjoying BB this year. However, other than Kat there isn't anybody else in the running for winning as far as I am concerned.

Deffo a Gok Wan fan:)

Kazzy - it's sand. Now that the summer is hear, dogs are not allowed on the main part of the beach, so we walk over the headland and drop down to the designated doggy area where not many tourists visit. Molly loves going in the sea, we have a Chuck-it and launch the ball out to sea - she...

Abz - well done on the loss. I bet you're glad to have a variety of products now. Thanks Myounow:)

Great idea. I'll see what I have too.

Daisyhappy - Thanks for the help. I'll get some tomorrow. I'm not a vlcd, but it hopefully if I start using it now, as the weight goes my skin will cope. You have been a total inspiration. Well done on your success to date.

Thanks for the link:) Do you suggest use as early in the diet as poss or is it better to apply once a bulk of weight has gone? Sorry for all the questions.

So is the Palmers Coco butter with vit E, different to the one you are suggesting. Is it a lotion or is it a cream in a tube?

So who is up for eviction this week? Will it be shown tonight?

Week 3, Day 5 - Tuesday Diet update. Still being good, however have not been drinking as much water the last day or so. I don't know why - I just haven't! I'm not sure if it is the diet, but in theory it should be TOTM, I've had the PMT, I've had the cleaning frenzy (which is normally a...

That's a lovely picture Heather:)

Abz - good luck for later today:)

Hello Renemar. Welcome to the forum. Which diet plan are you following or are you doing your own thing? Either way, you'll find loads of support:)

Oh Kazzy - sounds like you've had a hectic weekend.

Well done Jo:) Hope you have a really positive week.

Welcome to the forum. I would think if you are focused on shifting the weight it would be achievable. There's loads of support and encouragement here - the rest is down to you. Good luck on your diet journey.

Welcome to the forum Jo. Good luck with your diet:)

Well done Gem. Abz - which day do you see your CDC?

LOL @ Gem. How're you doing with your weight loss?

I've only done two of the Yoga sessions to date - loads more to do as they keep getting un-locked. Not sure I'll ever get to use them though.

I've not seen her either:( Hope she's managing to keep on track.

Abz - so you're like the Bisto kid them, living on the aromas:) Well done on staying strong.

Week 3 - Day 3 - Sunday Well I have had a very hectic day today, so no opportunity to ponder on food. However, when I came in, thinking that hubby would have made dinner I found he hadn't!:( I was feeling ravenous, so he went for takeaway. Not brilliant, but I just needed food immediately...

OK WeMITTS - it's been quiet here for a few days, how are you all doing? I've got a munchy feeling at the mo which I'm trying to ignore:(

Hi Zowie. Good luck with Lipotrim. This forum is great for support and encouragement, to help you keep on track:)

Hi Mikayla Welcome to the forum. You'll find loads of support and encouragement here to help you reach your target weight. Have you an idea of which diet plan you will be following, or will you be doing your own thing?

Hi Dave. You've come to the right place for support. Good luck with your diet journey. Hope the head improves soon:)

Hi Kazzy, how are you feeling and how is the diet going?

Yes, it was towards the end of the earlier show.

Week 3 - Day 2 What a disappointing day weather wise. I had big plans for a long walk down the beach with the dog and perhaps pottering around the garden, but it has rained continuously. So my plans have been spoilt. Instead I've spent the day in the house not doing much at all. To make it...

I try to do an hour / hour and a half on mine a day - and it isn't a chore either. My problem is that by the time I've caught up with everything I seem to be on it at about midnight which is not good for getting to sleep. Is there any news of updates coming out for the Wii Fit?

I love the penguin game too - how much of a big kid am I?

Viv - welcome to the forum - you'll find it fantastic for the support. I find just being able to log-in here helps me to focus on why I am dieting.
